The Story of Punch-Out!! | Gaming Historian

My sons and I have been on a Gaming Historian tear after discovering one of his videos here on VideoSift a couple of weeks ago.

We just saw this episode and it was a darned good one.

GOP Try to Rewrite the History of the Jan 6th Insurrection

luxintenebris jokingly says...

darn.

got up in tar 'n' feathering T-hick T-ony, overlooked commenting on the T-ourist T-errorism.

watched the insurgency, on tv, as it unfolded. reports from inside the capitol, immediately, revealed its direness. on the steps, it was turning into a melee. truly never thought, "wow! that's some run on the gift shop!"

the only misconception was thinking that the miscreants would be taken to task by capitol security. truth be told, wanted not only to watch mr. custard's last stand but also the stupid get broken.

damn shame.

at least we get to play "spot the loony"...

Never-before-seen video of the attack on Al Asad Airbase

SFOGuy says...

If the story is true---that the counterintelligence operations had figured out that the Iranians were using commercially available satellite photos and the US was tracking their downloads--and that was the pump fake move (wait for the download and then evacuate)--that's pretty darn clever.

Melania refuses to hold Trump's hand stepping off Air Force

moonsammy jokingly says...

Well @newtboy, what's really clear in all of this is that Donald Trump clearly loves women. Like, a whole lot. So it's just darn confusing as to why women don't support him more. A mystery for the ages, no doubt.

Um....ok....yeah....then those were two seperate statements in one sentence, yeah yeah, I was talking about Melania, the soft core porn star....yeah, that works. (Whew, just barely saved that one)

Are you saying they didn't have sex the first year of their marriage when she was allegedly pregnant?!

(You know there's not just one verified instance of him raw dogging porn stars, right?)

Happy New Year 2020

eoe says...

Woah, buddy -- you're going off the deep end with my argument and beating the poor straw man into a puff of dried grass. I'm not saying that everyone is a darn automaton following the whims of popular culture. I'm merely saying that there is a heavy pressure to do things because of culture. And because of Japanese kawaii culture, she gains a lot of social credit for performing in such a way.

Relax. Just beca

So wait...is it her dancing like a cute anime girl for attention that you say isn't a choice, or is it demeaning women who make different choices than yours (hers) in the name of feminism that isn't a choice, or are you saying there are no choices and all behavior is culturally driven so out of our hands?

Doing crimes is a choice, and one not monopolized by minorities. It may be your best option in your particular circumstances, but it's never the only option, it is definitely a choice.

Ppft, I say. Then why don't people all act the same in a given culture?
Culture may make certain choices socially acceptable or not, or personally beneficial or not, but you are responsible for your choices. Yes, you really choose, cultural acceptance and consequences may be part of how you form your decision, or not, but they don't make your decisions, they inform them. If culture was the only deciding factor, we would still be living in the bronze age where a girl this age would have no viable choice but to have had a few children by now and would likely be dead from complications of childbirth. Fortunately, many have chosen to ignore or contradict cultural norms so we have progressed as a society.

C'mon jump up

Good dog, Cujo! Also, you know that mutt drops a log the size of a baguette at least twice a day and it practically takes a snow shovel to fling it into the neighbor's yard.

I use to have a tragically retarded Cocker Spaniel (and, to note, there is no other variety of that breed) and it was like the Goose that Laid the Golden Egg, only with dogshit. At least three times a day, this golden-furred, floppy ear'd mongrel would scarf down a can of Alpo, a cup of kibble and whatever food was left lying on the table -- the same table the cat always got smacked for climbing on, but the dog ... ohhh, no! It's CUTE when the dog does it! -- then make a beeline to the back lawn where it'd crap Mt. Everest. I'd have to trudge out the the back yard, shovel in hand, while the guy next door shot me the stink-eye because he was tired of fishing dog turds out of his swimming pool every day during the summer. This task is odious enough, but it's a thousand times worse when you're stoned and it's a million degrees out and you'd much rather be floating on your waterbed listening to Dark Side of the Moon in headphones while blissful AC-cooled air wafts over your twice-weekly washed body and not fighting your way through a black fog of Horseflies to reach a 1:1 scale model of Mt. Doom made entirely of a too-quickly digested overpriced slurry of meat scraps and offal that the canners couldn't fob off on Mexico.

It might not have been as bad as all that, but in my hazy recollection, it was pretty darned close.

I'm not sure why I told you all this, to be perfectly honest, but I did. So there.

It's the perfect texture for running

Inventor Solves the Air Pollution Crisis

Near miss

SFOGuy says...

May not have been a deliberate act; head down, looking into a cell phone, stepping off the bridge to use the head (toilet)--no watch, no radar alert---and then you have a lot of mass moving really pretty darn quick and a collision course.

This looks like a game of high-stakes chicken. There are a set of international collision regulations (COLREGS) that every cadet all over the world has to learn by heart to gain a certificate of competency.

Sometimes these rules are inaccurately reduced to "right of way" rules. In fact, the rules oblige actions on all ships in a potential collision situation: one will be the "stand-on vessel", and the other will be the "give-way vessel": obliged to make an early and obvious maneuver to avoid the collision, in a prescribed direction (generally turn to starboard). The ships involved can instead get on the radio and negotiate a different plan, but absent that, these are the rules.

One rule governs overtaking, where the vessel being overtaken is the "stand-on vessel" and the vessel overtaking is the "give-way vessel". Another governs crossing, where in a crossing path situation the vessel which has the other ship to port (on the left, looking forward) is the "stand-on vessel" and the other is the "give-way vessel".

So in the situation we see in the video, the ship in which we are standing is clearly to port of the other vessel and so would be the "give-way" vessel. It should have made a slight starboard turn much much much earlier to pass behind the other vessel.

Except what if the other vessel overtook this ship and passed in front? This happens sometimes, where a vessel in a hurry and in the "give-way" position decides to make an early change to put it in the "stand-on" position and force the other ship to move. This is what's known internationally as a "dick move" and probably criminal.

Unless we have the full radar track for both ships we can't know who was at fault. Since they thankfully didn't collide, the MAIB won't have to figure this out and send anyone to jail.
