I started working on a HD patch for FarCry Instincts to test out some new trainer stuff I'm working on for the original Xbox. Here's the first 720p shot I got. So far it looks like it won't require too much work to fix remaining items

George Lucas traded $350,000 in directing salary for something Fox executives thought was worthless: the right to sell Star Wars toys. It was 1976. Over 40 studios had already passed on his script, including Disney. Fox only greenlit the project because they wanted Lucas for other films. Nobody at the studio expected to make money on a space opera with no stars, so when Lucas offered to cut his directing fee from $500,000 to $150,000 in exchange for merchandising and sequel rights, Fox said yes on the spot. Movie merchandise was a dead business. Fox had lost money on Doctor Dolittle lunchboxes a decade earlier. They thought they were getting the better deal. Lucas couldn’t even find a toy company that wanted in. Kenner, a division of cereal company General Foods, finally bought the licensing for a flat $100,000. Then Star Wars opened. Between 1977 and 1978, Kenner sold $100 million worth of toys off that $100,000 investment. They couldn’t make enough for Christmas ’77, so they sold empty boxes with IOUs inside, promising to mail the action figures later. Parents paid real money for cardboard and a promise. Nobody around the production saw any of this coming. Alec Guinness, who played Obi-Wan, privately called the script “fairy-tale rubbish.” But he was shrewd enough to negotiate 2.25% of royalties instead of a flat fee. About 20 minutes of total screen time earned his estate somewhere between $50 million and $100 million. Lucas himself was so convinced the film would flop that he offered Spielberg a bet while visiting the Close Encounters set: swap 2.5% of each other’s profits. Spielberg took it. That handshake has paid him around $40 million. And then the money started compounding. Lucas poured his Star Wars profits into ILM, the effects house he’d built for the film. When its computer graphics division got too expensive to maintain, he sold it to Steve Jobs in 1986 for $10 million. Jobs renamed it Pixar. Disney bought Pixar twenty years later for $7.4 billion. Then in 2012, Disney came back for the rest, buying Lucasfilm itself for $4.05 billion. Total franchise revenue today sits around $46.7 billion, over $20 billion from merchandise alone. The filmmaker 40 studios passed on is now worth $5.3 billion according to Forbes. Fifty years ago today, cameras rolled on a desert in Tunisia. The $350,000 pay cut that made it all possible might be the best trade in business history.

Goku & Vegeta Original English Voice Actors talk about the history of 'DRAGON BALL Z' getting big in English! "This era that we're talking about, the internet was around, but things didn't move at the speed that they do today." Featuring Ian James Corlett & Brian Drummond

NEW Robert Mueller — the man who investigated a president, indicted dozens, and reshaped the FBI after 9/11, is dead at 81. Within hours, Trump posted online: “I’m glad he’s dead.” That says everything about American politics right now.

🇺🇸🧐Former U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken stated that Netanyahu blackmailed Trump with recordings of his conversations with Epstein.

I marked this post for the future as you suggested Elon.

Shoutout stuntman Max Maxwell, who got his shit absolutely rocked by this blast and sued the production for his fractured arm/lacerated forehead, couldn't find out the result of the suit but hope he got the bag because he deserves a reward for this kind of footage

BREAKING: Several prediction markets are now reportedly taking bets on whether Donald Trump will flee to Moscow, Tel Aviv, or Buenos Aires when his presidency collapses.

INSANE: 🇺🇸 Congressman Goldman shows 'credible FBI receipts' that Trump "unzipped his pants, forced a 13-year-old’s head down, and when she bit his p*nis, he punched her and called her a b*tch!" "AG Pam Bondi lied under oath to us about this."

It's interesting that the manga version of GitS SAC reveals Motoko's line before being sniped. Since the line was muted in the anime, there were some fan theories about the line.

It took 4 days for the César Chávez abuse allegations to spark a nationwide purge: statues torn down, streets, parks and schools renamed, holidays canceled, and politicians now running for cover. Meanwhile, Epstein’s abuse has been public since 2019. Still. No. Client. Arrests.

Stephen King was so impressed by David Cronenberg’s vision for The Dead Zone (1983) that he personally advocated for the director, despite the studio’s initial hesitation regarding Cronenberg’s "body horror" reputation.

FULL THROTTLE RALLY by @SonicRyu12 is a new low-poly indie racer inspired by SEGA Rally + set in Mexico. Still in beta, but it's already turning out to be one of my faves of the year. The control feels SUBLIME ❤️ Contains SEGA Rally tunes atm - audio isn't done yet. Love it!
