The years after the crash but before the appearance of Nintendo were Golden Years for my brother and me. We were picking up cartridges for our Intellivision for a dollar a piece (or less) at retail stores and sometimes for free at local garage sales. I know our game library was over 50 games at one point, which as kids we never would have been able to afford if not for the crash.

We also switched to PC gaming. My dad received one of the very first laptops (with an LCD screen) from his job and I managed to get Bard's Tale up and running on it. Some of my friends went the Commodore 64 route.

So after the crash, we never stopped gaming, really, and just transitioned to the NES when it came out. But of course games became more expensive then. We gave up on owning anything but the most popular games (Mario, Zelda, etc.) and instead would swap games with classmates to try out other stuff. Mom and pop used games stores also popped up around that time and usually we could trade in an old game for a new one with an out-of-pocket expense at around $5, which was around my weekly allowance at the time and let me get a new game once a week.

No, I don't think there's a single jump scare in the film -- it's unnerving and tense in a way that so few horror films manage to achieve, but never in a cheap "I know something is going to pop up and say boo" type of way. It's legit.

Always a delight to see a familiar name pop up on the Birthday list for today! May yours be somethin' special artician

Oh and ... Congratulations on your Bronze Starage. Good times!

When Stephen Colbert made his Ching-Chong Ding-Dong Foundation joke the trending hashtag was #cancelcolbert, not #iwronglyfindthisjokeoffensivebutwouldneverseektosilenceitsauthor. Control is the agenda of the StinkyJeWs, page by page, paragraph by paragraph.

Let's say you're a writer for a videogame being developed by CompanyA, which in turn is owned by MegaCorpX. Some leaked bit of dialogue or a screenshot of an immodestly dressed character rubs the stinkies the wrong way and off they go, shrieking and howling: #megacorpxisracist, #firechaosengine; articles pop up on Kotaku and Polygon lamenting the state of misogynistic gaming culture, in which perverts and serial harassers like ChaosEngine are still allowed to dominate the industry and keep POC and female voices out in the cold. #boycottcompanya, #chaosengineisapaedophile, #megacorpxfundsrapeculture

Sure enough MegaCorpX doesn't like the negative, if ludicrously inaccurate, publicity and the word comes down the totem pole: the game's cancelled, or the plot has to be rewritten, or you're fired, tough luck. You really mean to tell me that no censorship has occurred at any stage of that process?

I shouldn't have to remind you that corporations aren't people. They're steered not by principle but by market forces. If I shove a boulder off a hill and it rolls into your house, I don't get to say "Well it's nothing to do with me, the rock could have swerved aside, it could have stopped halfway down or it could have turned around and climbed back up the hill. It was entirely its own decision to flatten your home."

Presumably you reboot something because you want you capitalise on some combination of the styles, plots, essence and fans of the thing you're rebooting. So if it becomes unrecognisably Star Trek then fans won't be impressed.

But this looks to be going in a different direction than not just Star Trek but the first two films of the reboot as well. To me it could have been any sci-fi action adventure film because nothing stood out that distinguished it as Star Trek (the old or new definition).

Also, who the hell buys Pegg as Scotty really? I love Pegg, but everything about his character is jarring - he's Simon Pegg doing a funny accent and laying the slapstick on far too thick for comic relief only to pop up in an action scene 2 minutes later.

Edit: Maybe because it's a different director? Edit2: Who apparently directed some Fast & Furious films - that makes a lot of sense.

It's hard to find, but you can edit. On the page where your video is posted, hover over your name at the top. A menu will pop up with 'edit this video' at the left. Then you can edit, tag, and assign channels to your own video. NSFW is also there, on the video edit page....but I took care of it for you this time.

You know the drill.

Wootly as the source, close pop up windows, watch movie or save as with the link underneath the video.

10.5 thumbs up from this guy.

This is what she reported back to me: "On my Iphone 5 the mousover text pops up and I can click. The second time I want to do this it doesn't work anymore. On the iphone of a friend it does not work at all; nothing happens."

Does it do the same for you, that the "second time" (not sure if she means tapping the same hotspot a second time or tapping a second hotspot) you tap it doesn't work anymore?

I clicked on Mijn opa, and first click didn't go to the page, it popped up the mousover text (Houd jij van pirateverhalen? Lees dan snel het verhaal over mijn opa.). Second click went to the Mijn opa page, but it wasn't immediately obvious that it hadn't just gone back to the front page, I had to scroll down to realise because the left hand panel on the full version is above the main panel on the iphone version.

p.s. I liked the both the story and the site design... and if anyone else is wondering about the Daffie... it's this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DAF_Daffodil

Fix the length. This is a short -- might catch even more eyes....

1:44 is the next video that pops up, not the sea glass video....

I could really do without Simon Pegg popping up in it. I know he's a fanatic, just like with Star Trek, and i was his biggest fan during the Spaced years. But seeing his face every time Hollywood decide they want to pull in a few more niche viewers is getting old. I hope he stayed behind the scenes.

When i type videosift in google this vid always pops up.

Their elapsed times and speeds popped up before they cross the finish line...

Here's a weird thing: everytime I read the title of this video, the same word keeps popping up in my mind, over and over again.
Manscaping.
Seriously. The mental pictures are disturbing.

Probably start seeing these pop up for on-site news reporters. Get rid of those expensive camera guys.
