Donkey Kong Country (🇬🇧Rare/Nintendo/1994) for the SNES was a huge commercial and critical success, selling over 9.3 million copies. Coded almost entirely in assembly, the coders brought their 8-bit mindset from ZX Spectrum and NES era to optimize the game. E.g. managing to compress massive 3D-rendered graphics onto a 32-megabit cartridge. The core movement and physics were designed with high efficiency, which was a hallmark of 8-bit coding.

It's been 20 years since you've heard this but somehow you still knew which sound was coming next

taika waititi should have been sentenced to 100 years in prison with hard labor for making this bullshit man.

@25YearsAgoLive What a year for aviation incidents already. Surely things won’t get worse, right?

Aboard United Airlines Flight 857, flying from San Francisco to Shanghai, twin sisters on their way to a modeling competition begin violently fighting. They light cigarettes; spray perfume throughout the cabin; and verbally abuse other passengers. Flight attendants who attempt to calm them are physically assaulted, and the plane is forced to divert to Anchorage, where the two sisters are arrested. The entire incident is caught on video, making this the first-ever air rage incident to be entirely filmed. United Airlines is compelled to buy all 231 passengers a night in a hotel in Anchorage, as well as a tour of Portage Glacier.

NEW: Man walks out to his backyard to find 13 people in a hot air balloon basket looking back at him in Temecula, California. The resident, Hunter Perrin, says he was watching TV on Saturday morning when he got a knock on his front door from his neighbor. "We walked into the backyard and there's this basket full of 13 people, just sitting in the backyard looking at us," Perrin said. According to one of the hot air balloon riders, the pilot had to make an emergency landing because there wasn't enough wind and they had only a little fuel left. The pilot tried landing in the street but ended up in the backyard. No one was injured, and there was no property damage. Video: HPerrin / YouTube

Don Bluth, creator of The Land Before Time and All Dogs Go To Heaven, famously said that kids can handle anything in a film so long as you put a happy ending on it and he was and always has been completely right.

Joe Russo says the ‘AVENGERS: ENDGAME’ re-release includes new footage that ties into the narrative of ‘AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY’. “It’s an opportunity to create a bridge from Endgame to Doomsday in a very unique way.” (Source: Deadline)

Scar from the Lion King. He is the only lion there that behaved like a lion. Mufasa was running that Kingdom like a circus. "Hey, look. I know I eat you but I really like you. Come look at my son who will grow up to eat you". Busy involving monkeys in lion affairs and leaving his brother to have no choice but to form frienships with the enemy hyenas. He had every right to fight for that throne because that is what male lions do. He didn't even kill that dude, it was the wildebeests that finished him off. The same ones he was doing musicals with. To show that he was right, Simba started a new life of eating bugs when he ran away because he has the same weak genes as his father. When there was a drought, Scar didn't eat bugs. He kept it real and starved, but they made it seem like the drought was his fault. He was leading in difficult times! When it was now convenient and the rains were coming, your Bug Eating king came back to take on a starving Scar while he had a stomach full of caterpillars and cockroaches because even when living with prey he is not the leader. Scar's only mistake was letting Simba live. If he killed that little dude then the rains would come and the Kingdom would thrive again under his leadership. But no, he let him live and he came back when it was convenient because he can only lead in good times like his useless father. Mufasa and Simba were good dudes, Scar was just a real lion. Which is what you would expect in a movie about lions 🤦🏾‍♂️

The PS3 - PlayStation 3 might be the most accidental home cinema revolution ever. People bought it for games… then realised it played Blu-rays… then suddenly they’re rearranging their living room, arguing about bitrates, and calling themselves “collectors.” Sony didn’t just sell a console — they quietly smuggled Blu-ray into everyone’s house.

Does anyone still use the term “Mickey Mouse” as a synonym for something that’s chaotic or poorly thought out (“What kind of a Mickey Mouse operation is this?”) or is that a boomerism that’s largely died out?

Good morning! Legos are great for young kids, but have you every tried doing projects with them to hone their castle/cathedral building skills using pebbles?

They should change the name to "Strait of Schrödinger". It's both open and closed at the same time.
