Interesting fact, uses music from the same library music company as Dawn of the Dead (DeWolfe). In fact, the Cannes cut of Dawn happens to use the same music as the infamous credits scene in Holy Grail.

Crime is bad, thats obvious. But you're never gonna fully curtail it so its ALWAYS going to be an issue. I just don't understand the fascination of posting about it, or overblowing things that are either not that out of control or outside your own environment that doesn't affect you directly. You have a lot of people in one area, you have a lot of crime/homeless/mental illness and its impossible to curtail. Most of those articles sell fear because people will click on them. Curious about homicides, this is what the NYTimes says "Shootings were down in all five boroughs. Last year, about 400 fewer people were shot than in 2022, when 1,566 were shot. There were 386 homicides in 2023, a 12 percent drop from 2022. But a troubling trend in the number of killings and shootings of people under 18 persisted." Now if there were all of a sudden, 600 murders, you could say "MURDERS RISE 50%!" Sounds scary, but when you're dealing with 8 million people, thats an incredibly small amount. If someone is really upset over crime, be a cop or write a congressmen and get involved in politics. Posting about it on a video game forum is a passive way of dealing with it and saying how 'bad' things are or are getting consistently seems paranoid to me.

Great job putting words in my mouth. I did not mention social injustice, this is about crime and all these articles to pacify those fears. My point is, this whole thread seems like you two wallowing in paranoia about things in places you don't live in.

No I dont. I live near NYC and this kind of fear is way overblown. Is it there, yea, but theres also 8 MILLION people that just LIVE in the area, let alone visit/work here out of state. If we were a country we would be the 13th most populous state. More people, more crimes.

I feel like this thread is turning into the avatar/tabona paranoia thread haha. Do you live in NYC?

Doesn't matter. It may be 'planned' but what draws ratings? They made Roman like a god and it made him. SO when the baby face slays him, it makes it even THAT more impactful. You put the belts on the people that draw, thats it. Its not a charity because they're nice guys or deserve it. If Roman didn't have a huge run, it wouldn't have made Cody that much more special. I do think though that they should scrap the other title, you only need one title. Way too many belts today, again diluting them. Also, what gets boring? Someone holding the title for too long? Then I would say you're watching it for the wrong reason.

I enjoyed the matches I cared about. Rheas, the 2 main events and Gunthers. Altho the match was great, having Sami beat Gunther means nothing. Should have given it to Bron or someone to actually make them. People need to grow up with long title reins because they have ADD. They want a new champion every 2 months, doesn't work that way. Having long title holders makes the title WAY more important. Most old school fans can tell you the lineage of a title, and then around the year 2002 it all falls apart. Its INCREDIBLY stupid for ANYONE to be in the wrestling business for like 9 years and have 10 title reins. Its meaningless.

Did not know about this but thought it was pretty cool.

I dunno why people are trying to dunk on me about the first one. The first one wasn't really supposed to be a kids movie, it eventually became one when the cartoon came out, hence GB2. And ya'll looked past me saying the humor in 2016 was OBNOXIOUS, or childish, I used my quote as an example. Its like Ghostbusters meets "Scary Movie".

Ghostbusters in the pinnacle of smart, witty comedy that works for people of all ages. All I saw was the 2016 trailer, and it screamed dumbed down, obnoxious "Ha-ha queef is funny" humor. Sure, that can be funny, but not under the Ghostbusters tree,

Thats really odd. Of course the first one is practically flawless, but this one was more tailored to kids with some adult stuff in there. So I can't hate it, its funny, got great lines, effects are cool, and it has Janosh. I don't even care if its very similar to the first one either. If you're gonna steal, steal from the best.

I feel the exact same way. I never ever remember people saying they didn't like this movie until relatively recently. Love it.

I did. Odd to feel on long island. For some reason it felt like someone was moving a fridge or fixing a roof because there was a feeling of shaking without anything moving. Ive felt it before but a MUCH smaller one.

IIRC its actually the END theme in Mega Man 1.

Oh, I forgot to mention I almost teared up when I finally watched Dawn of the Dead in theaters last year. Does that count?

The only movie I ever cried at as a kid was Harry and the Hendersons. Damn that John Lithgow!

Well my favorite is Zombie Nation :). I like a good shooter but not one that you have to dedicate your life to because i'm more of a casual. So anything with a fair challenge that requires a couple of sessions I think is pretty good for me. I really like Gun Nac. I also liked Recca but only with codes. I always took that game for a more seasons shooter player.

I don't know what the 'cutoff' is, but all classical music is public domain.

Until its discovered what those 2 digits actually mean, I wouldn't put too much credence into it. I suppose it could be some factory indicator, but thats just speculation.

And it is. Another refurb.

Cool thread! The Adventures of Dr. Frank (on NES and Dr. Frank on GB) music is only "Moonlight Sonata".

I was asked by someone who's mastered 2000 crabs to repost this. So here it is! THE MUTANT VIRUS HALL OF FAME: 2012 - khog143 ~ Unsure 2014 - the_wizard_666 ~ a week 2015 - DoctorNick ~ Unsure (about 2 months of playing) 2016 - Bea Iank ~ 11 hours 2016 - Svankmajer ~ a week 2017 - Mexican Runner ~ 16 hours (2 times) 2017 - Guitarzombie ~ 4 hours Im about to give this another crack just for shits. I wanna use this thread to devise some sort of strategy that can be employed to beat this game on a semi-regulary basis instead of about the 9 people in the world who have. (Seriously theres NOTHING online about this game). First my maps. Out of the GOODNESS of my heart, I made a map of every level of the game, with the power ups and hazards and yada yada. Ill be using my maps as a basis for strategy. Level 1: This one is really just a no brainer. Just for you to get used to the controls. Nothing to say here, i just always go to the room on the left. You get a life when you beat the level. Level 2: This is where the game all of a sudden ramps up in difficulty out of nowhere. My strat: I first grab the green 0 and work on this room. I ALWAYS seem to have trouble here where I can never clear it quickly. After some time I go left to room 2. In room 2 i use the green 0 in the top right of the level near the green 1. I then can clear this room out easily. I go left again to room 3. In room 3 i use the green 1 ON TOP of the thing shooting out the virus. This makes clearing the room a breeze. I then move to the right to room 4. In room 4 i grab the blue 1. Theres ONE little square that it seems to be IMPOSSIBLE to clear. Its whats pumping out the virus. I think you MUST drop the blue 1 on TOP of this square. If you miss you might as well restart the whole level. This room then becomes little trouble with just some patience. I finally move to the right, to room 5. In room 5, i cant get a consistant strat. First i move THRU the virus to grab the blue 1. I then move back to the thing pumping out the virus. The same idea from room 4 holds true here, if you miss this you might as well start over. I use the blue 1 ON TOP of the thing shooting out the virus. This doesnt really make the room easier, just now you have a consistant safe spot. This room seems to be really challenging and tedious, which is a forshadowing of whats to come. LEVEL 3: This is something i did yesterday that I thought worked well, but i just played crappy. In room 1, i immediately go right for the super gun (red 0) and blast the hell out of that area and hide in there, dodging the CVs. After a long time once this room is cleared out I go right to room 3. In room 3 i run thru it just to grab the blue 1 and go left to room 2. You'll lose your super gun. In room 2 i use the blue 1 on the virus thingy on the top right of the screen. Then go back to room 3. In room 3, with the super gun this room is relatively easy. After this ill move left to room 2. In room 2 you'll have your CCV active to take care of a lot of virus. Use the SG and clear this room out. You dont really need to take care of the virus thingy on the bottom left. After this i grabbed the blue 0 and moved to room 4. In room 4 I used the blue 0 ON TOP of the middle virus. This doesnt work THAT well but if you can prevent the virus from really going haywire in this room you'll be ok and with some luck can wipe this area out quick. Then I use the bottom left exit and go to room 5. In room 5 you can clear the virus out mostly with the SG which isnt too bad, just time consuming. After this grab the green 0 power up go right to room 6. Room 6 isn't too bad, but you can get tripped up by the SSV. THATS the hardest and trickiest part. If you die in this room you have another super gun. If you die again its still beatable (when you die you appear on the bottom right of the level) just takes caution and patience. Throw your green 0 somewhere in here and get back your SG and clear this out. The trickiest part is towards the bottom right of the room. If you die you start there and lose your SG. Good news is since you die you'll have a sheild and can kinda work around in there. AND theres an extra SG gun in this room. LEVEL 4: Trying this one. Room 1, grab the SG and just go to town in this room. This one isn't too bad till you get to the virus in the middle. Then exit bottom right to room 5. In room 5, this room is really easy until you get to the middle where the SSV is being a pain in the ass in the middle. Theres a way to glitch it so they dont shoot SSVs but i dunno how. After this room is clear, grab the blue 0, and move bottom left. In room 4 I throw this down over the virus on the left. Be careful because the proxy SSV on the bottom right will only shoot if you're close to it and spread more virus. Do it quick and bounce and keep moving right to room 6. In room 6 this is a piece of cake room. Grab the green 1 and put it over the virus and clear this sucker out. LEVEL 5: No consistant strat. *Added 2024* After beating it this year. My best strat is to stick with the room you're in. If you move thru another room, you activate the virus. You really have to beat the time for level 5. So try to stick with one room, and if there is an outbreak, go to it. If things get out of control, try to counter the virus a little, then move on. Tips: If you're about to die and you have the super gun (red 0 or red 1) try to go somewhere to replace it with another power up. If you die, you lose your super gun (unless its purple 1 which is only found in level 5). Your other power ups will stay with you when you die. The super gun is practically essencial for level 4 and 5. Level 3 can be beaten without it, but it takes a VERY long time.

I bet the date code is from 1986.

Out of all the cult type movies, this is something I can never get and have no interest in. No slight to Tim Curry, he did his best.
