  • I rewatched it a few years ago. Didn’t much care for it. But remember when it first came out (I was around 20 at the time) and liked it.

    On a side note; I totally owned the Huffy Sledgehammer bike just like the one in the movie. I had gotten it when I was around 13 years old. I got it out of grandma and grandpa’s garage and sold it on Craigslist for $100, when it should have been worth like $25.

    Also, yes. I did take it on some pretty sweet jumps.

    If it were a game that didn’t use a pay to play/continue/win model, I’d agree that she was the best at it. Or at least played it the most. It’s hard to say she’s the best when you have to spend money to do it and you aren’t playing against anyone.









  • There’s over 9,000 breweries in the US, and you’ll find many aren’t all hopped up ipas. Go do some googles searching, maybe take a Lil tour if they’ll show you around, and just start trying to buy from the source when you find something you like. There’s likely one near you.

    I took it as Fry is drinking non American beer, because American beer tastes like water.

    But really, outside of a couple large national beer chains that sell their low cost “bud, coors, Busch, natty” America has a shit ton of small breweries that make a large variety of beers that aren’t that way. There’s literally over 9,000 operating breweries in the US.


  • Went back and did some reading. It was an arcade game called punch out that came out around 1984. Vodka Drunkinski. No Mike Tyson.

    Nes got the rights to make a console game but their “family friendly” mantra called for him to be renamed to not be alcohol related.

    The NES release of Punch out in Japan had 10,000 gold cartridges given away as prizes and such in Japan a bit before launch. No Tyson.

    Then Nintendo of America’s founder and president went and watched a Mike Tyson boxing mach, a bit before he ever became World Champ, and was like “daaaaaaaaaamn. We need him in our game as the final champ”.

    They signed a 3 year deal to use his name and likeness for the now “Mike Tysons Punch-out” in exchange for $50,000. You could say it was a small amount, but no one knew how popular the game would be and it was risking that maybe he wouldn’t ever even become champ and he was getting added into the game completely last minute.

    So MTPO dropped in 1987, Tyson Became world champ in 1987 (cause he was a scary flipping beast in the late 80’s), the game was a huge hot (obvs) and if you own the cartridge from 87 through 90 you get to have MT in it. Everything released after 1990 is no Tyson, including any digital downloads and wii version or switch or whatever. It has a fictional “Mr.Dream”.

    So you want Mike, you have to pirate it, or you have to own a cartridge from the first few release years.

    “Oh, cool. I don’t want my 6 different launchers to all start every time I turn on my computer, so I’ll only start the launcher that has the game I want to play, so long as I remember what launcher it is.”

    “Oh, awesome. I started the launcher. Now it’s showing 278GB worth of updates to download since I haven’t opened this one for a few months. Guess I’ll start playing tomorrow.”
