Soulja Boy’s console gone   Man, you can’t make this  up,  can you?  I remember SK selling  rom-based machines and marking them up a lot and  slapping  his name on the “console ”.   Then, after all these YouTubers and gaming press called him out on it, he went on a Twitter attack and calling everyone various names.  suddenly, his consoles have been removed from his site.  Hmm.     I am certain  Nintendo  went after him and flex their legal power.  While Nintendo has fallen from grace over the years, they are very protective of this  IPs.    I am sure a lawyer told him to shut up and remove the consoles.  While he made a small Tweet about it, I can’t believe he will say anything else.  He'll just  go  back to making bad hip-hop songs.  

Did you know that there two different  versions  of A retha   Franklin’s “ Think ”?  While  many people grew up listening to the  original   version  of the song.  I grew up  listening  to the Blues Brothers version of the song.  I actually like Blue Brother’s version better than the  original .  The kicker is Aretha would sing the song completely different every time she  performed  the song.  The coolest thing about Blue Brother’s version is it has more horns and is much faster.     The  original  was released back 68.  And, it has that sound from that era.  The BB version was released in 1980 with the movie.  It sounds better and richer and she has more  energy  with the music.  Plus, she mentions the Blues Brothers in the actual track, which is a nice touch.  

Freak-out  at  Gamestop   Okay, this is clearly an epic freak out.  I love that he/she/ze starts to just growl.  From what I can tell, ze/she got into an argument with another customer and the GS  employee  tried to calm down the two people.  The  employee  “ misgendered ” the person and he went off.  Then, ze decides to kick down a display.     If you act like a  5-year-old child, you can sit in the corner and wear a dunce cap.  It seems he is only a threat to game displays.   

Robocop 2 Prototypes    While Robocop 2 has a lot of problems, one of the funniest things in the movie is the prototype scene for the Robocop 2 prototypes.  I always laugh because of the dark humor and silly visuals.  In the comments, someone pointed out that they replaced the killed female scientist in the second Robocop clip.  I never noticed that and that is a very funny bonus.  I also the how the wounded scientist has an emb ar rassed expression.    Did you notice that they didn't arm the second prototype?  So, it just rips off its own head.  Anyway, here are a few clips of deleted scenes from RC2.  

Ready Player One  (Part 1 of 2)   Ready Player One (RPO) is enjoyable if flawed, movie.  It has some really good visuals that are a sight to behold.  The weaker aspect of the movie is the story.  The movie has nostalgia written all over it and has a bit of that Roger Rabbit feel.   RPO has a lot of problems, but in the  end, it  works overall given our Internet world.     I liked, not loved, the movie but it put a smile on my face.  The movie has a lot of charm and it certainly gives me that warm feeling.  While the story is flawed, the  nostalgia  is strong.   Steven Spielberg   does a great job bringing numerous homage to various pop culture  IPs.      Spielb e rg has two worlds to convey in this movie.  The real world is gritty and filled with junk upon junk.  It is a nice touch that Steven shows how crummy the real world .  The fantasy...

Here’s a pretty good overview of the Legend of Chris Chan   Since 2014 and his famous  arrest,  I have loved following Chris Chan.  As his mind has started to decay,  it  has gotten more serious because he is clearly heading for a terrible end.  Once his health starts to really take its toll on him, he will probably have to go to an assisted home. I have tried to introduce Chris Chan to some people that have never heard of him.  

Who is worse?  I am not sure.  It seems DSP fans are more toxic than Wings.  However, Wings seems to be more toxic overall.  I follow both of them for the  lulz .  I think Wings knows he is shit whereas Phil thinks he is the kind of his own world.     Anyway, check out the remix  yo .  And check out Liquid Richard’s channel for  more good  remixes of our boy Wings .  

Comedian gets kicked off stage...for jokes   I was going through YT and this video came up.  I know that plenty of comedians  won’t  do gigs at universities anymore.  Have young people gotten so  sensitive  that jokes are now more harmful than a punch in the face?     From Washington Times ,  (( AAA  members interrupted  Mr. Patel  mid-set and denounced his jokes. They initially agreed to give  Mr. Patel  a chance to give closing remarks, but his microphone was silenced ))   I find funny is that the joke he made was very much a pro-left-leaning  joke.   Young people, it is okay to discuss what is  offensive  and what is not, but to silence another minority person for making a joke you didn’t agree with is going  too  far.
