Evidently, popping balloons is a criminal offense in the UK.
Here in the U.S., imagine if police silently walked up behind and forcibly grabbed a minority person, without announcing their approach or issuing any kind of warning, even if that person was suspect of a serious crime. Just grab, pin down, & insta-arrest. Muh, racism.
haha..

Well, it's hard to miss that windbag. Even here every single thing he says, does or tweets gets attention. Just hearing his voice on the radio news makes me want to punch him in the face. He could be making complete sense, just the way he says it makes me not want to accept it. Luckily he rarely makes any sense.

MBA's are typically worthless degrees anyway, even if you could find an MBA program without the BS political indoctrination (left or right leaning). The exception being a top 10 university like Harvard. Even in that case, employers would hire you for the networking & connections (to wealthy people & families) you'd gain while attending, not for any particular skill you're (not) learning in business school. lol The median wage is lower for Master's degrees (vs. Bachelor's degrees), according to our own government's statistical data. www.bls.gov/careeroutlook/2019/article/high-wage-occupations.htmJune is "worthless degree awareness month."

Got me to reinstall it.
But I had to relearn/learn about the workarounds for today's systems. IIRC I used to disable the invisible HID devices. Now I tried this newfangled fix.
Only tested this new thingy for a little bit, so I can't swear it will continue to work. I was getting dips down to 10 fps!
I plopped it (dinput8.dll) down into my O:\F.E.A.R. Platinum Collection folder.

2 is more of the same but 3 is kinda special. I really liked that one. Completed it several times. You can replay levels (or the entire game if you've completed it with Point Man) as Fettel, who can't use guns as he is an ethereal entity but he can take over enemies. So you hop from body to body taking out the enemy. I thought that was really neat.

Right, we need this because having Leana Headey, Summer Glau, Shirley Manson, and Stephanie Jacobsen*, in Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, somehow didn't quite have enough kick-ass women in it, so a blow for feminism must be struck. lol
That piece of the Terminator franchise was even named after a woman ffs. The kick ass Terminator was a woman, ffs. The show was loaded with scenes of women kicking ass. But it never felt a need to kick men to the curb. It had the right mix, and it's missed. Part of its demise is due to the Christian Bale starring Terminator moving becoming imminent, and the canons just didn't line up. And I guess they wanted people jonesing for their Terminator fix when it hit the theaters.
*Leven Rambin as Riley Dawson gets honorable mention due to her amazeball chops in her battle to the death with Stephanie Jacobsen.
The canons don't line up because most of the sequels (after T1 & T2), they keep killing off John Connor. I don't recall if they killed off John in T3, as that movie was very forgettable. John was supposedly the key to the resistance and shutting down Skynet. By erasing that part of the story, what we have is an endless branching of alternate timelines, incongruent with the original story (i.e. the two best films in the entire series).

A scifi sequel I'd rather see would be Tron 3. Unfortunately, Disney currently has it on indefinite hold.

I think I remember hearing that this one is a direct sequel to T2 but afaik they haven't specifically stated that it's gonna ignore the previous 3 films. It's possible they're doing the same thing that was done with X-Men Days of Future Past, and the timeline will all be undone. I didn't think T3 was all that bad, thought it was better and more like the first 2 movies than Salvation and Genisys. Genisys was just terrible, PG-13 rating and there came a point where it seemed like they just gave up on the writing and just wanted to get it over with. Kind of like what happened in Game of Thrones season 8.

Kind of like what happened in Game of Thrones season 8. There's a spoiler/leak vid on YT that says... John is terminated by Arnie/T-800 in the 1st five minutes of the new T movie. A new AI (called "Legion") replaces Skynet. The teenage girl becomes the new savior of the human resistance.
Basically, they went full-on girl power woke with the new story.
However, they're still in the process of screening test audiences and doing the final cut, so the story could still change for the better.

What was cool about Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles is that the show started working to accepting the possibility of alternate timelines, and those alternate timelines intersecting. Pretty wild when two characters had conflicting memories. Brian Austin Green might even have had two sets of memories regarding some critical events, and it was driving him a bit mad. That reflects one theory of how alternate time lines might work. When the differences are minute, some alternate realities could collapse into each other, and just leave a residue of oddness in peoples minds that that had happened.
I also loved when they strongly suggested that Sky Net was not/no longer was just one AI in control of their Terminators. The show was pretty much saying that there was a faction of Artificial Intelligences, the melty ones (maybe some triple eights as well), who wanted to cut their own path. "Will you join us?" was their question to the rebels.
The show was getting deep.

By making the plot too deep, less of the audience has the IQ or attention span to follow it.

I saw Twenty One Pilots in concert. One of the few modern "rock" bands I like
Girl right near me knew all the lyrics to all the songs and screamed through pretty much the whole thing.
Also if you are into emo girls every emo girl in the city was there apparently.

It's pretty amazing what they can do with those huge and heavy monsters. Every time you think there's nothing more they can invent, stunt wise, something unexpected and cool happens.

BTW, I can't wait to see the the emo girls that will be at the Marilyn Manson (and Rob Zombie) concert that I'm going to in July, lol.

I remember when Travis Pastrana did the first back flip on a dirt bike how big that was and look at how much freestyle MX has advanced and being a dirt bike rider since the age of 8 I never would of thought that a back flip would of been possible. And I think I'm going to make Monster Jam a yearly tradition - I had a lot of fun Saturday with the pit pass and everything. These people who where having a hardcore tailgating party, like they had six full size fold up tables lined up together full of catering and gave me and my friend free food (a Cheeseburger at the event was $10, Fries $7, and a Beer $14, Small Bottle of Water $5) and they even had a flat screen TV setup under their canopy. I mean the people at this event had the ultimate tailgating party setups but it was nice of them to give us free food (we offered to buy)...lol.
The Pit pass was cool, you could go right up to the trucks and touch them (truck sodomy, lol), they had trucks you could take rides in, a BMX freestyle show, and the main truck show inside the stadium was awesome! When it started all the trucks entered the stadium and circled the track all on the gas and it was so freaking loud all of them on the gas at the same time! lol. I just had to break away from my normal going to a MX race and try something different and I really enjoyed the change of pace. My friend who went with me never even been to a stadium before and was loving the entire experience!

I almost went to that show last year since they were 30 minutes from where I lived, I didn't go tho. It was an outdoor venue and I hate those for any kind of dark music like Manson or Zombie plus Manson has not aged well. He just kind of stumbles around on stage. The clips from the show that ended up on youtube were terrible lol. I saw Manson back in 1997 when I was a teen. For sure a highlight of my teen years.

April Fools. The trailer looks good. But, as Admiral Akbar would say (if he weren't killed off in vain)... It's a trap! Either way, Rey is and always will be a Mary Sue. The damage there by the previous two movies can't be undone.
