“Guys listen to me, that little packet of nondescript white powder is just regular old diatomaceous earth from the home & garden store! In case of bugs!”

Countdown to Bari Weiss’ next op-ed warning us not to disparage or condemn this woman for her “difference of opinion”. Alienating these Real Americans could cause some serious electoral blowback in November!
It’s a technical reason due to the different cameras and ratios used in filming and Nolan not wanting to chop off the top and bottom of his IMAX scenes (which is a more square-ish ratio than 35mm) as that would defeat the purpose of even filming on IMAX in the first place. So anyone who watched Dark Knight in an IMAX…
Exactly. Baked-in letterboxes just tell me “someone’s new at this or didn’t plan ahead”. If you want a cinematic 21:9 ratio, either shoot in 21:9 or crop to that ratio in the video editor. When viewed on YouTube or Blu-Ray, a 21:9 video will still be letterboxed depending on the viewer’s setup, but the key difference…
My guess is he can remove his arm stump from the fist and swap it out for a normal-sized cyber arm when he’s not in battle. So he probably puts the tuxedo on first, then attaches the prosthetic as the last step.
Kind of makes sense, but if he was in a regular infantry unit, wouldn’t his DNA or fingerprints match some kind of government record?
And grilling burgers with Jeremy Affeldt
I think it boils down to a few things: Dennis Hopper in Blue Velvet, swill beers get you buzzed quicker for less money, and people develop a taste for the low-quality, mass market stuff (Velveeta, White Castle burgers, donut shop coffee, etc)
“Maybe we shouldn’t discriminate against Muslims or invade their countries” = “I adore the most repressive forms of Islamic government”. These strawmen from autumn 2001 sure are bringing back memories!
You make it sound like unskilled positions are just a public service these companies are providing out of the kindness of their hearts, to give young people a helping hand. Some people move on to better things, and others stay in unskilled jobs for a variety of reasons - maybe they’ve got low intelligence, chronic…
Part of why they haven’t installed Pence is plain old political inertia, and the fact that organizations like the GOP are notoriously bad at getting out in front of a problem before it grows out of control. Also, Trump has managed to survive so far despite committing offenses that should have sunk most politicians.…
“in the right hands”, sure. If those hands happen to belong to Kephrii, or one of the six players on that chart. Defending on a payload map gets a whole lot easier when the attack team has a Widow. When she’s not being pounced on and harassed by our Winston or D.Va, she might score random headshots on us here and…
This type of elite-level 3D art brings up another question that’s been bugging me: when it comes to 3D art & design in video games or film, aren’t the various roles hyper-specialized by the time you get to this level? Any time I see a documentary on how big-budget productions are made, the roles are always divided…
The upcoming “Archives” event starting a week from today will have a few types of PvE brawls, with last year’s Uprising (4-player vs Omnic horde) mode and a new “Retribution” brawl that’s yet to be revealed.
Hitscan just means a gun that hits what the player is aiming at instantaneously (McCree, Soldier) as opposed to shooting projectiles with a slight time delay (Genji’s stars, Orisa’s gun) or a beam (Mei’s freeze spray, Symmetra’s gun). It’s how most FPS guns have worked since the old days of Quake and GoldenEye. It’s…
It’s hard to target specific enemies like Tracer and Genji. It’s hard to dive onto enemy backlines and stay alive. And it’s hard to gang up with a buddy and take down the enemy healer.
I think a big part of the 2017 storytelling drought (at least the lack of animated shorts) had to do with the OW team needing to divert more resources into rescuing competitive mode from the hordes of griefers, throwers, and rage trolls.
Sadly, the 5th amendment has been significantly gutted by the recent Salinas v Texas decision. Now, if you simply stop responding to questions and don’t have the lawyer-like savvy to clearly and affirmatively state that you’re invoking your 5th amendment rights, the police can bring your silence up at trial,…
Did we all time-warp back to 1996? Who gives a shit about the “middle”? They don’t decide elections any more. Any politician with half a brain should flat-out ignore the middle. Hillary was about as middle as you can get. Trump didn’t win because a wave of centrist independents decided to hop on the MAGA train. He won…
