Updated the AMD drivers from 23 to 24 the other day and, while the update itself went smoothly, there were some oddities after install. I always try to leave the settings at the defaults when I can to keep wonkiness away and after the update the fans kept revving up more in heavy resource programs (this was on Windows). I tried capping the frame…[Read more]

Didn’t care too much for Bogus Journey, really liked the first one more. Something about it just seemed a little off, as though their heart just wasn’t in it.

I’m not sure we can even get MadTV over here. Makes me sad. I used to enjoy it when I was a kid 🙁

Saw Night Game the other day and the acting was pretty good but the plot was horrendous.…[Read more]

Ah, the Gong Show. A classic! 😀

Need some Queen in here:

😛

Haven’t run across the Plasmatics before! Surprised they didn’t use their videos to help promote plasma TVs. Would have been quite fun! 😀

Here’s a good one that just cropped up in my YouTube…[Read more]

A MAD TV interlude:

High energy on steroids! Wonderful. By stark contrast, this beauty from Confessions of a Dangerous Mind:

😀 Guaranteed to make us all flea to the corners of the globe!
This old chestnut featured in Confessions of a Dangerous Mind:
Q: Do you know what the difference is between toilet paper and a shower curtain?
A: Oh. So it’s you then.

Might have seen it sometime pre-millennia, standard fare, Yvonne de Carlo could have insisted on a better direction perhaps, would there be any truth in suggesting that being Merman’s wife well and truly wore her out?
Not sure about Confessions of a Dangerous Mind either, there’s something in it that does not attract, perhaps the matter-of-fact…[Read more]

Sadly, the updates over here automatically install and there’s no way to tell it to wait a while so that they can get the kinks worked out first 🙁

Will be interested in your experience with it! Been thinking about upgrading at some point anyways since it’s pretty handy for researching and the like 🙂

Yuck. Could be a bad SIM slot in the new tablet

Lucky me, still have 5.1.1, got a boatload of default Apps to remove or trim down, before the fateful arrival of 6. 🙂
Unlucky, as the SIM for the new tablet won’t work, which means presenting a bare neck to the vampires of tech support! 😛

Will look out for it!

Yuck. A lot of people falsely believe that microwaves break down the nutrients even though it’s been disproven. It’s something they don’t teach you in health class, even though they cover healthy eating. Bit of a weird omission

Silent Scream was okay. Not much depth to it and the plot was pretty shallow but some of the…[Read more]

Perfect. Thanks! They could have made that clearer! I do lose weather information, which was helpful, but don’t miss the news ticker. 🙂

Sounds good. My tools came in the other day, just haven’t had a chance to get things sorted yet. Will get there! Also need to see if some reading glasses help with the eyestrain I’ve been experiencing. 😛

Yeah,…[Read more]

American Hustle is worth a look, loud blaring dialog, music and effects are de rigueur in making everything come across as more convincing, did note the nutritional reference in microwaving food, which, believe it or not, sparked a law suit.
Monster In Law came up with one or two memorable gags, plus a bonus surprise in the TV…[Read more]

Yeah, Taskbar Settings => Widgets, turn off, don’t use MS Widgets much as heavily dependent on FTA state media news delivery. The default settings is there’s quite a bit of polling from news/weather servers, given some investment in time, you could get them to filter thing to taste. 🙂
Updated VS, but still to get something up on it.
Posting someth…[Read more]

Is there a way to disable the news ticker on the Windows taskbar? In finding it quite distracting and tend to glance at it. I’ve looked around in the various settings but couldn’t find it. I’ve always had difficulty finding my way around Windows, which is part of why I mostly use Linux 😛

Yuck. The latest update to OneUI 6 is a huge battery drain and has some serious performance issues (pretty noticeable on mine since it’s a basic model). Battery drain has doubled and the UI is much slower since they pushed it out. Hopefully they release a hot fix at some point 🙁

Entertainment Earth (a Sideshow competitor with a lot more stuff) had some too, at one point. Nothing recent, though. Power Girl doesn’t get enough publicity 🙁

At one point, xkcd was linking to Indexed but that link was removed sometime in the last fifteen years. Wonder if they had a falling out?

There’s another idea: all the happenings on…[Read more]

Ooh, Galactus showed up on that page. Lovely, it’s very much like a Jack Kirby production:

Cool, it’s got an xkcd comics vibe to it, launching just after in 2006. idea on time, it’s possible the reverse can be true, things are trending to less complicated, well explained, and bundled with instruction manuals written in the universal and easily…[Read more]

The other films that are planned have been trapped in development hell for a long time but they do have a game coming out!

Beginning to run out of slashers on Tubi so I’ll be moving to science fiction soon. Probably should rewatch the Brain that wouldn’t Die again. That was a fun one!

I don’t think so, it’s mostly just research right now. They’re using it to play with quantum states and that sort of thing. Not much but baby steps! 🙂

Yep, that’s the one! I could order the cover but it’s probably not worth spending an extra 5 USD in addition to the cover price just for it, no matter how much I like it 😛

Sideshow has a couple!…[Read more]

It’s in tomography, imaging scans are possible, is there much tech available for it?
You mean this?

Regardless of the very forgiving nature of Power Girl, the shop will still have to answer to Snowman!
There are heaps of posters available, even figurines, have you found any any larger than this one?
As well as the ages of the earth, quizzlings…[Read more]
