It's hard to believe it's been 19 years.

Never forget!

Meanwhile...during that same timeline in nearby Nixa...a community that refused to institute mandatory masking....

July 15....10 confirmed cases...

Yesterday...13 confirmed cases

Can't do that here though, since it would be against the forum guidelines. 😬

such limited imagination...

post one word after meme, no matter what it is, and you circumvent limitations.

And The Lighthouse. Amazing in that one.

With COVID-19 still out there wrecking havoc, it will probably be at least a full year before things go back to normal.

Best of luck. I will be doing some online courses myself this Fall.

The college opened back up but masks are required...they shut down physically and went online mid-semester previously so I had to adapt midstream with a burden of 17 credits on the line. Still was able to maintain my 4.0 average.

I don't support the hypocrisy so I'm taking the semester online. I expect this Fall to have the same black plague panic happen again when cold and flu season starts so I'm not even going to attempt physical classes.

Super Mario Bros. It's more impactful if one looks that up themselves.

Alt note, Jean Reno is awesome.

The twin towers were in a ridiculous number of movies. Not too surprising given that New York is the biggest city of the USA by far, and it therefore was a very popular place for movies of all kinds. The first movie that comes to mind for me is "Keeping The Faith", a comedy movie with Edward Norton and Ben Stiller that was been shown on repeat on some channels around 20 years ago (together with a few other comedies like "Meet The Parents" and "Bedazzled" ) and the most recent movie I really remember that still had the towers in several shots, movie appeared in the late 2000s.

Btw I always thought the 1998 was the only watchable Godzilla movie, even though fans seem to hate it. It had a few iconic moments for me and despite Godzilla looking a little weird I really enjoyed it back then despite not being into monster movies one bit, especially not the repetetive laser ray spamming japanese versions of Godzilla.

The two World Trade Center towers were going to be featured in the 2002 Spider-Man movie, but after the horrible attacks on September 11th, the film was altered in several spots to minimize showing the since-destroyed World Trade Center. The teaser trailer for the film (which released in the weeks prior to September 11th, 2001) prominently features the twin towers being used by Spider-Man to hold a helicopter full of bank robbers in place. They were also featured in a poster for the film (look at the reflection in Spider-Man's eyes) that was put into circulation around the time of the attacks. See below:
 

After September 11th happened, the teaser trailer featuring the WTC was removed ("banned") from theaters and the posters were shortly replaced with a different shot of Spider-Man climbing a building:

There are several parts in Spider-Man (2002) where you can briefly spot the World Trade Center towers, but in some of the shots, they were digitally edited out of the film or have been obscured via edits. See the videos below:
 

@funboy1246 Lol, my walks are definitely not that serious  I just stick on a hat and some sunscreen and go. My purse is one of those cross-body ones so I don't have to hold onto it, kinda like the video one. I just need to get the plastic backing and I'm good to go

all my walks are serious. everytime i walk to the fridge....serious. cause outside of work thats all the walking i do

Clear pouches for phones already exist, screw this chick.

When I started remote training during all this, I recorded every session and shared with with my learners. Every minute of it was planned and followed curriculum so it would be valuable to my learners later. Although, I trained adults, who consented.

Recording other people’s children does pose a bit of a pickle, but if virtual classrooms are still a thing when my kid is in class, I will absolutely be recording it so I can learn what and how they learn so I can help support any and all questions about it later on. 

WTF?

lol Fox "News"

Ugh, you got through the episode “Home”... I wouldn’t have slept either. 

Relly great monster episodes in the 4th season: Teliko, Kaddish, Leonard Betts, Never again. Home was particularly creepy. Synchrony reminded me of The Outer Limits.

So sorry. 

TY...

It was a rough one last night...With the amount of alcohol I consumed, if there was any corona virus inside, it's been sanitized.

What would you rate it out of 10, I have been thinking about picking it up

It's a solid Tower Defense game. Has plenty of challenge. Still easily have 2/3rds of the game to get thru but I would feel comfortable giving it a "good" rating at this time. It's definitely a niche game, but fans of the genre should enjoy themselves.

I see this game all the time. I think it's on PSNow. Give an update on what you think about it.

Still working on the first city of Kimberly. Since it's been years when I first started the game, I had to start from scratch again to make sure I knew what I was doing.

So far it's enjoyable. Standard tower defense fare; you manage a city that is being attacked by waves of creatures. You have a 360 degree possibility of attack, but the guns you install can be rotated circularly around the city for defense. 

It's not going to dethrone Vice City or Red Dead Redemption as far as drama or storyline goes, but the rather long conversations between the characters are rather unique to say the least. It's meant for an adult audience as there is plenty of innuendo scattered throughout the interactions but nothing at the "Hot Coffee" level.

It has 3 difficulty levels, I've set it on easy for the present time to just get the hang of the game and with proper installation placements I can let the battles play thru on cruise control without anything getting thru my outer perimeter currently. Only have gotten up to beating the 1st Boss Monster and it wasn't even a challenge. I expect to be tweaking things up to make it at least semi-challenging.

Looks like it's a simple plat once you take out the grinding out of the mix. I picked my copy up for $7, so it's worth the price of admission so far. Visually, it reminds my of a good looking PS2 game, so it won't win any visual awards but that 64-bit appearance gives it a bit o' charm, the sound is adequate and the controls aren't too hard to conquer. I haven't even made it to level 10 yet, but here's some of the mid-level gameplay in action. This one will not be for everyone. If Tower Defense-types of games are something you enjoy, I think you will love this. Otherwise, don't even think about picking this one up.

They missed a dispute from Tuesday. Let them catch up a bit.

Not every report gets immediately disputed once it's approved. None of the ones I sent in today should even be brought up in the forum because they are so obvious. 

True. Did some on Fuel (missed the one who's disputing another game). None have shown up yet. And shouldn't be disputed, as it is clear save file usage.

But there's a dispute with Super Meat Boy, and they've been silent so far.

Facts.

Just had to chase a pack of dogs out of the yard...my 3 were not having any new interlopers...

You know that you love animals when you carry the runt of the pack 1/2 mile down the road to his home, barefoot, drunk and  in a bathrobe just so he can make it safely home.
