Will Smith in King Richard and Harry Conick Jr. in a bald cap for Annie. In some ways, their paths went very different ways after Independence Day. -- nm - Mop Dec 22, 12:43 2
- I thought he was doing Macbeth...or are they doing the whole shakespear catalog? -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 22, 13:10
- King Richard would have played much differently had Harry Connick Jr. played the title role. -- nm - Dano Dec 22, 12:52

Which one of us is going to tell Billy Porter he's doing too much? Song isn't bad and def sounds like Kinky Boots. But this video... -- (link) - MDH Dec 22, 12:15 [youtube] 10
- I will as soon as I figure out who Billy Porter is. -- nm - The Allfather Dec 22, 12:52 6
  - I assume this is a joke...but he's a Tony, Emmy, and Grammy award winning actor. -- nm - MDH Dec 22, 13:00 4
    - No, it wasn't, but I apparently did watch him in something last year. -- nm - The Allfather Dec 22, 13:09 3
      - it's ok, I had no clue who he was either -- nm - decline Dec 22, 13:12
      - I wasn't a big Pose fan, but he was great in Kinky Boots. -- nm - MDH Dec 22, 13:11 1
        
        I've seen the movie. Was he in it? -- nm - The Allfather Dec 22, 13:15
  - Oh! Barrett in Like a Boss! -- nm - The Allfather Dec 22, 12:53
- Have Billy Porter and too much ever been uttered in the same sentence? -- nm - spamlet Dec 22, 12:30 1
  - He showed up at an awards show recently and his entrance was insane. The reaction was pure silence, so I think that started it? -- nm - MDH Dec 22, 12:33
- You know, I'm beginning to think he might be gay. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.) -- nm - Dano Dec 22, 12:26
Time Capsule from 1887 buried under a Robert E. Lee statue has been opened. Livestream -- (link) - budice Dec 22, 12:14 [youtube] 2

  - Three, no wait... four. -- nm - Spawnta Dec 22, 12:18
Today's Earworm is Wake Up by RATM. -- The Matrix NM - Spawnta Dec 22, 11:58
Ooh, Golden Axe! -- (link) - The Allfather Dec 22, 11:54 28
- I played Golden Axe back in September on a Genesis Mini. It's aged...poorly. -- nm - Shaun Dec 22, 12:28 1
  - Yeah, that was what I told Kim about it. Many of these Sega Genesis games don't hold up. -- nm - The Allfather Dec 22, 12:53
- Honestly this would be it for me with NBA Jam a close second. -- (edited) - spamlet Dec 22, 12:20 2
  - once the kid leaves for college = new gaming room for spamlet. -- nm - tRuMaN Dec 22, 12:23 1
    - We have an extra bedroom that’s already claimed next year. - spamlet Dec 22, 12:29
- I remember on the Price is Right when they'd give away an arcade machine or pinball machine and thought that was so extravagant. - Mop Dec 22, 12:18 5
  - They're not full-sized. Watch some videos on YouTube. -- nm - The Allfather Dec 22, 12:49 3
    - Retro Recipes has a great series where he turns one of these 1Up arcade stand-ups into a full sized Star Wars Arcade sit-down booth. -- (link) - Mop Dec 22, 13:07 [youtube] 2
      - I'm guessing they'll do a real one of these soon. -- nm - The Allfather Dec 22, 13:11 1
        
        They have a sit down of the original Star Wars game -- (link) - JD Dec 22, 13:37
  - drone -- nm - Spawnta Dec 22, 12:18
- I mean do they make those cabinets in version that are accessible to Talls? -- nm - tRuMaN Dec 22, 12:07
- I want so many of those cabinets and tables. Ms. Pac Man table, Galaga, NBA Jam, Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter II, The Simpsons and more. -- (edited) - Krusty Dec 22, 12:05 11
  - It's the one that rarely dips under $500. Some Wal-Marts closed out NBA Jam. Lucky bastards were buying it for $99. -- nm - The Allfather Dec 22, 12:07 6
    - The whole point of these a few years ago was the price point. Now? Forget about it. May as well just go purchase an original cabinet. -- nm - Jovian Dec 22, 12:36 3
      - Most Simpsons full cabinets are $3,500+. -- nm - The Allfather Dec 22, 12:54 2
        
        Well I mean the other ones really. Simpsons is quite the draw. But $700 for a Tron cabinet? come on - Jovian Dec 22, 13:07 1
        
        If I'd seen NBA Jam for that, I would have shattered the sound barrier whipping out my credit card. -- nm - The Allfather Dec 22, 13:16
    - Damn! That's a steal. -- nm - Krusty Dec 22, 12:08 1
      - On fire, even. -- nm - Spawnta Dec 22, 12:10
  - this is why I keep thinking of building a emulator cabinet. -- nm - tRuMaN Dec 22, 12:06 3
    - That's what I said to Theresa. You'd likely need two cabinets just because of the button layouts but it's much better than having an arcade - Krusty Dec 22, 12:07 2
      - or build one where the controller portion is easily removable/swapable. -- nm - tRuMaN Dec 22, 12:08 1
        
        That's probably possible. -- nm - Krusty Dec 22, 12:30
- Is there a reason the Simpsons game isn't in the mix? -- nm - Reagen Dec 22, 11:59 3
  - It is about time for a reunion -- nm - Dano Dec 22, 12:07
  - Oh, it's in the mix. -- nm - The Allfather Dec 22, 12:06
  - Kim wants to see the front of him ever so often. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 22, 12:00

Michael Flynn = Loser : -- (link) - mud Dec 22, 11:48 6
- I wonder what he's hiding? -- nm - Mop Dec 22, 11:53 5
  - that he is .. - mud Dec 22, 11:55 3
    - I hope it's his son's complicity, which is proved by the messages he's forced to turn over. -- nm - jnine Dec 22, 12:37
    - the guy has to be as big a double agent as Philby -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 22, 12:11
    - Already known -- nm - eag Dec 22, 11:58
  - Christmas presents. -- nm - Spawnta Dec 22, 11:54

- with your recent meteoric rise in the company can you exempt yourself from such trivial tasks ? -- nm - decline Dec 22, 11:47 2
  - Don't meteors fall, not rise? -- nm - Dano Dec 22, 12:23
  - the training is "New Manager Orientation" so sadly no. - tRuMaN Dec 22, 11:49
- There will be no training. All is lost. - Tomorrow Email Dec 22, 11:40 5
  - uhh, yeah that aint gonna happen. now its just all virtual and we have to keep our camera's on the entire time to ensure - tRuMaN Dec 22, 11:42 4
    - It doesn't say pants are required! Could be getting more than they bargained for. -- nm - jnine Dec 22, 13:33
    - You have a bit more faith in tomorrow than most of us. - Spawnta Dec 22, 11:43 2
      - naw, just have faith that the company I work for would never cancel training. they love to make us take training - tRuMaN Dec 22, 11:45 1
        
        "Good news, everyone! A meteor is on a collision course with earth and will destroy the planet on Monday. Tuesday's training is still mandatory." -- nm - Beryllium Dec 22, 11:46
Well this looks cool -- (link) - Beryllium Dec 22, 11:11 7
- you should go there and take pictures of it -- nm - decline Dec 22, 11:46 5
  - It's a ten hour drive (and a ferry ride). Not doing that in a pandemic - or in the winter. But it would be pretty, I'm sure. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 22, 11:55 4
    - Fly your drone there to take pictures. -- nm - Spawnta Dec 22, 11:55 3
      - That's illegal in Canada. :) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 22, 11:58 2
        
        First they cancel Christmas. Then they cancel drones... -- nm - Spawnta Dec 22, 11:59 1
        
        This is why we're so mean on phone calls to companies. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 22, 12:04

So for XBox Ultimate, I bought 12 months Gold at Costco (for $50), then I need to buy the 1 month Ultimate (for $15). That should give me...12 months? - JaxSean Dec 22, 11:02 3
- Do you have the option to Upgrade for $1? IF so, do that, and yes, you will have a 12 month XGPU sub. -- nm* - Shaun Dec 22, 11:05 2
  - I couldn't find it. I just did the 1-month for $14.99 to upgrade, and it says "Next charge on January 22, 2023, $14.99 plus applicable taxes" - JaxSean Dec 22, 11:07 1
    - Still a very good price for 13 months of XGPU. -- nm - Shaun Dec 22, 11:09
baseball has been in lockout for around 3 weeks now and honestly I haven't really noticed... -- nm - decline Dec 22, 11:01 2
- It’s December. Do you often notice MLB in December? -- nm - spamlet Dec 22, 11:40
- But think of krusty who won't be able to tell us how many days till pitchers report -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 22, 11:33

Parents of actress Alicia Witt found dead in their Worcester home. -- (link) - Diva Dec 22, 10:39 11
- how horrible -- nm - Candie Cane Dec 22, 11:11
- Ugh. The same thing that happened to Weird Al Yankovic’s parents was my initial guess but the article says it doesn’t appear to be a CO2 poisoning. -- nm - Tim Dec 22, 10:50 3
  - Could be CO poisoning, just dissipated by the time they were discovered. -- nm - ty97 Dec 22, 10:51 2
    - Monoxide poisoning has a distinctive look iirc -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 22, 10:53
    - That's how I read. So sad. -- nm - spamlet Dec 22, 10:52
- Yikes. But how is that not suspicious? - Marlowe Dec 22, 10:48 2
  - They said no signs of carbon monoxide when they were found but if they were using space heaters, they might have just run out of fuel. -- nm - spamlet Dec 22, 10:50 1
    - A couple here was found dead two years ago. I think one died and the other had a heart attack upon finding the other. -- (link) - Pocket Jones Dec 22, 10:54
- that is horrible. -- nm - Pippy Dec 22, 10:45
- Wow, that's heartbreaking. -- nm - The Allfather Dec 22, 10:41

      - It's also got Dig Dug. I guess all the early 80s stuff was cheap. -- nm - The Allfather Dec 22, 10:40 1
        
        They're both NAMCO / Bandai games so 1UP probably got a license that allows for them to package the games -- nm - JD Dec 22, 10:48
