I have both and hadn’t noticed much difference from the results of the HDMI output of the WiiU over a Wii using Component Cables through the same Elgato, but you’re probably right about a direct feed to a TV, or adding better quality devices in the chain. I’ve played OG Xbox through the setup using the Official HD Pack for a long time and have low expectations probably.

Still alive, but our local one is shutting down right after Christmas so I don’t think it’s going great for them

also Khan Jr.

Former President James Taylor!

British guy who was James Bond for the last 5 movies, but probably was best as Joe Bang in Logan Lucky

It’s one of my favourite movies. I watched a walking tour on YouTube of the filming locations in Hope BC a few years back, it was pretty interesting with lots of fun facts. Nighthawks (1981) is also pretty gritty and has Rutger Hauer and Billy Dee Williams. A lot more recent and better gritty Stallone movie is Cop Land (1997) from James Mangold, saw it for the first time a few months ago and really enjoyed it.

Can you tell I like Stallone? Went and watched a whole bunch of his movies in a row not too long ago and they’re really hit or miss.

edits to add that Billy Dee Williams was also in Nighthawks and that Cop Land is the better movie

She’s not interested in his money, she’s clearly a fan of his winning personality and strong meme game

No more coffee but plenty of PRIME™ for all!

There are portable washing machines that hook to a kitchen tap and drain to the sink, had one when renting a place with no laundry on-site and just hung dry everything. So much better than going to a laundromat weekly, and paid for itself too.

I had a friend come back from a work trip to Saskatchewan talking about how the skeevy strip club in town had the “toonie toss”. I don’t remember too much of the story except that they also didn’t have booze

How many of you were hit with mallets last week?

The price of rakes and yard vacuums would skyrocket. City parks would be fenced off and guarded by armed militia the way natural diamond deposits are. In cartoons, those giant paper yard waste bags would be the new sack with dollar sign printed on them. Everyone would suddenly hate the Toronto Maple Leafs (oh they already do? never mind that one)

Rented this a few times from Blockbuster and played it at the demo that was always set up at Costco, it was a really solid system with actual potential. Blockbuster had a program back in the day where for $40 or something like that you could rent a system with 2 controllers and 2 games for 7 days. Did the same with the Sega Saturn with similar feelings, eventually ended up owning a N64 and that was not a disappointment in the end.

The ballistic hard shell cases with foam inserts Blockbuster rented out consoles in were seriously cool I wonder if any exist still

Oh yeah we had those too. I totally forgot about A&E, those tapes were around for sure. And a lot of stuff from the National Film Board, I think the schools in Canada got that stuff for free or something.

In class it was always

• Shrek
• Shrek 2
• Remember the Titans
• Jurassic Park
• Any Rando Jim Carrey Movie

Although in grade 9 law class we got to watch Heat, Dirty Harry and My Cousin Vinny, that teacher was cool

In the USA/Canada the cheapo ice cream is labeled “frozen dairy dessert”, instead of “ice cream”.

Hehe ‘loads’
