And Seattle is so cloudy and white even the black guys are pale. We only give a street that name of we know it's a ghetto area.

I've tried to explain to my wife how Seattle was destroyed but she has a hard time seeing it. I watched it in slow motion.

The county Seattle resides in is King County. I honestly can't remember what it was before, except that it was probably an English Explorer or Native chief. I mean, Seattle was a chief, as was Tacoma, Yakima, and others.

They renamed it in the early 00's.

Honest answer? The convention center in Portland has the rights to every convention in Oregon. No other building is allowed to replace or challenge it. This is why some Oregon conventions are held in Vancouver Washington.

The big thing is realizing how large businesses have taken over the convention scene. If it says Comic Con it is owned by the same people as PAX and E3.

For the Pacific Northwest I would recommend the Northwest Pinball and Arcade Show in Tacoma. 400+ arcade games set free to play and lots of people talking about pinball.

The Portland Retro Gaming Expo is awesome. They tend to have 200 arcade games, a large console gaming area, other areas to game in, contests, shows and everything else. Run by locals and a ton of fun to attend.

They were filmed at the same time and released at different times. If they needed set work they filmed all of the scenes in that set for all the movies, ECT. It's not as easy to get out of that quagmire as it seems.

All that said, I got really tired of the Dwarves = Scots joke. When Billy Connolly showed up I wondered if Craig Ferguson just wasn't available at the time. It was obvious they wanted a lighter movie than LotR but didn't take the time to figure it all out before filming.

You should see what it's like organizing and setting up a convention. I used to do that as a hobby, and nearly as a job.

I don't think he's interested in women if he's a bear.

There were a lot of people who said PC would do the same to consoles. I think the two are different enough that they play different fields. What's stopping a console from taking over smartphone territory?

Just look at how successful our game companies are compared to theirs!

Atlantic had a sponsored section entirely proclaiming how Trump was evil.

Atlantic on Trump

The climate can't handle another Trump presidency!

President Trump will know us better and be out for revenge! These articles have their own section and title now. Not just from me, the Atlantic has a blurb at the beginning of these articles now.

There's so many of them, I can't tell if it's a repeat or not.

I found the main section for it. That's a lot of articles.

More than one? Crap, I need to get those.

It's always been this way. I recently finished the McCoy protest stories from Doctor Who. It was all very anti war, do as we say, socialism will save the world, kill conservatives. I wish I was joking about that last one. I'm on the Fights Cthulhu while saying malaprops stories. I've read that they wanted to make Ace Gay if they had continued the show.

British TV is having problems anyway. Cats Does Countdown may be cancelled. The only big name left is Taskmaster and it's mostly on YouTube.

  • Barenaked Ladies, such a disappointing name when you realize it's all dudes. I met them a few months ago.

  • Castlevania has OSTs. I collect the games as well. I own the skateboard game that has Castlevania as a secret level.

  • Tony Hawk Pro Skater also has OSTs and I collect for the games as well. I don't have the GameBoy games or the PSP games yet, but I do have every main console game in multiple versions.

  • Will Smith

  • Billy Joel

  • Michael Jackson

  • Bloodywood only has one album so that was easy.

  • Windrose is similarly one albumed, but it rocks so who cares.

I think there is another angle as well. Most guys tell stories about bear attacks if they even think about camping. Most women don't, and only talk about living in the city. So the stories are never given.

Yeah. I want the X68000 in the states. Fans have been making great games for the Saturn. The Dreamcast had some amazing games.
