I think it’s hard for people who weren’t around at the time to realize just how big a deal it was that the PS2 had a DVD player, y’know? (And, to your point, apparently hard for people at Sega to realize it either.)

four years between those 1997 emails and being out of the game entirely. life, and playstations, come at you fast.

Most incredible is that only 18 months after some of these emails/presentations, they not only RELEASED THE DREAMCAST, but it was GOOD

My favourite story was when Michelle Philips, of The Mamas & The Papas, first saw Star Wars her reaction to Han was “That’s my pot dealer! I didn’t even know he was an actor!”

Somehow the reaction is different when Alec Baldwin says that.

“Only Up! basically has you running through an obstacle course and parkouring through it gradually escalates.”

Beg pardon?

I’m lowkey kinda hoping that this ends up being Tarantino’s first big post-”retirement” non-movie project; a 4-6 episode streaming miniseries finale/sequel to Kill Bill with Uma Thurmon and Maya Hawke trying to escape a seemingly unstoppable Zendaya wielding multiple Hatori Hanzo swords in a neon pink vinyl murder-suit…

Yeah, but I have 10 minions I can have conversations with, and mourn when they return to their eternal rest.

Honestly this makes me pissed again about companies shutting down forums. They essentially destroyed the Borderlands community, and it showed in TTW, but even if they suddenly get forums again that information doesn’t just pop back up. Even the partial backups we have are just that, partial.

Yet another reason to throw your neighbor’s costco card in the dumpster.

gas pumps require you to use your membership card prior to pumping. The fraud, at worst is losing your costco membership.
I have exec membership, and the insurance policy from it is very competitive for me. We don’t buy that much in bulk, but our annual purchases is enough to offset the membership.

Ah, that’s interesting. They must be really really old because I’ve been a Costco member for 23 years and I’ve always had a card with a photo.

Because they are enforcing a rule the original card owner agreed to? 

What kind of extra card could they bring with them that would suffice as a Costco card and photo ID?

The Colorless Broadcasting System can’t have shows with that diverse of a cast without their “audience” throwing a fit.

Nope. No option to buy it at all .Just nothing at all until the following year when they launched Paramount plus in those countries.

It really does seem like a fundamental failure of basic business strategy. Businesses everywhere know that sometimes you do things that don’t make money or even cost money in order to bring more value to your brand as a whole. Costco sells their hot dog combo and rotisserie chickens at a loss because they know it…

Just to be clear, when they rolled back on the decision to make international fans wait for Discovery season 4, they didn’t restore it to Netflix, they just shifted it to Pluto TV, a service they owned, but which wasn’t available in a number of countries, including Ireland. It’s almost like the people who make these…
