  • I rewatched it a few years ago. Didn’t much care for it. But remember when it first came out (I was around 20 at the time) and liked it.

    On a side note; I totally owned the Huffy Sledgehammer bike just like the one in the movie. I had gotten it when I was around 13 years old. I got it out of grandma and grandpa’s garage and sold it on Craigslist for $100, when it should have been worth like $25.

    Also, yes. I did take it on some pretty sweet jumps.





  • There’s over 9,000 breweries in the US, and you’ll find many aren’t all hopped up ipas. Go do some googles searching, maybe take a Lil tour if they’ll show you around, and just start trying to buy from the source when you find something you like. There’s likely one near you.

    I took it as Fry is drinking non American beer, because American beer tastes like water.

    But really, outside of a couple large national beer chains that sell their low cost “bud, coors, Busch, natty” America has a shit ton of small breweries that make a large variety of beers that aren’t that way. There’s literally over 9,000 operating breweries in the US.


  • Went back and did some reading. It was an arcade game called punch out that came out around 1984. Vodka Drunkinski. No Mike Tyson.

    Nes got the rights to make a console game but their “family friendly” mantra called for him to be renamed to not be alcohol related.

    The NES release of Punch out in Japan had 10,000 gold cartridges given away as prizes and such in Japan a bit before launch. No Tyson.

    Then Nintendo of America’s founder and president went and watched a Mike Tyson boxing mach, a bit before he ever became World Champ, and was like “daaaaaaaaaamn. We need him in our game as the final champ”.

    They signed a 3 year deal to use his name and likeness for the now “Mike Tysons Punch-out” in exchange for $50,000. You could say it was a small amount, but no one knew how popular the game would be and it was risking that maybe he wouldn’t ever even become champ and he was getting added into the game completely last minute.

    So MTPO dropped in 1987, Tyson Became world champ in 1987 (cause he was a scary flipping beast in the late 80’s), the game was a huge hot (obvs) and if you own the cartridge from 87 through 90 you get to have MT in it. Everything released after 1990 is no Tyson, including any digital downloads and wii version or switch or whatever. It has a fictional “Mr.Dream”.

    So you want Mike, you have to pirate it, or you have to own a cartridge from the first few release years.

    Not the Mac n cheese for the last like 20+ years. It used to use real cheese and really did taste better. I know the internet got all uppity against kraft a while back, claiming they started making the noodle portion worse somewhere around 2016 or something, but that’s nothing compared to the big taste difference that happened when they stopped using real cheese.

    I remember having that happen to me sometimes when I was playing borderlands quite a while back, but what I’ve been playing the past several months doesn’t have it happen, so I thought they fixed it. If they haven’t, I guess it must be game specific.

    Nope. No issues at all. Uses up like 5% of the battery per day to be suspended like that, so if I’m playing through a game I can play the entire thing without ever seeing a boot screen or intro or having to worry about getting to a save point. Just right back into or out of the game within a couple seconds.

    The point is you don’t need to be at your house, or a place to set a tiny TV, or a kickstand, or a wall outlet. Also, if you’re using an Xbox controller, I can’t overstate how hard you are missing out on gyro controlled aiming on a steam deck. It works incredibly well.
