One of the most famous moments on Irish television.

My brother seemed to idolize this movie and went to the nightclubs in Dallas during the early 2000s (when even historic places started going out of business, only made worse when 'Deep Ellum' was being torn down to make way for highways.)

40:45 you will notice a scar on Will Ferrell, caused by pyloric stenosis surgery (I just looked it up, basically it's corrective surgery he had as an infant from an enlargement of the opening from the stomach to the small intestine.)

This is the second most Irish thing I ever saw.

Based on 'Flowers for Algernon'




This hasn't aged well (though it's still relevant to the metaverse concept.)

Some of this actually reminds me of how IQ tests are kind of bullshit, when people blindly assume they understand the context of testing and how someone tests, as you can test at a borderline retarded level and actually be 100 points higher than that (this Quora post describes how she was haunted by the perception of her intellect being deficient and no one knowing otherwise, and it's something I relate to. Also, some people who go onto a Professorship claim to have deliberately sabotaged the testing results when young, and their qualifications have always indicated they demonstrated very high capacity) which is something I can relate to (though I've never tested below high average.)

I think the narrator did the Vedic documentary 'Inner Worlds Outer Worlds' (which I bought the DVD and bluray of.)

9/11: Explosive Evidence - Experts Speak Out

Yaba Sanshiro is kind of an unreliable emulator, though it seems to be working now that I've figured out it's quirks (however, I can't get Castlevania SotN on Saturn to recognize the controller, and I can only get a wireless controller to be recognized and not an Xbox wired one.) Currently, I'm playing Panzer Dragoon Saga after also messing with Shining Force 3 which has all 3 episodes available with translation. Panzer Dragoon wasn't ever really exceptional but it is easy to appreciate it, and the work that went into it, and it has some innovative concepts. I always noticed the series but could never really motivate myself to play any of the games, and when I owned an Xbox I barely even loaded the game and just stopped playing (I think the character animations always seemed off-putting, though it really was just the idea of shooting and waiting for something to die that just seemed absurd; that I was always more interested in exploring an environment, which even Saga leaves much to be desired.)

This is about the extent of my gameplay experience with the Panzer series prior to yesterday.


The very first Panzer Dragoon game was remade for PC though many fans of the series seem disappointed, or are more apprehensive about gameplay from that time period as it seems rather banal (sort of like how the Nights series ceases to impress people with 3d gameplay, though I distinctly remember my first impressions of seeing it when it was on display at a Six Flags, and similarly I was impressed with Ecco the Dolphins graphics when that was new, and I think my dad thought I was some kind of homo, which of course people like that tend to be inadequate with themselves.)

This guy ('Captain' Bill Uhouse) is probably a bullshitter as he was claiming the 'Alien Autopsy' footage was real, which it obviously isn't.
https://www.amazon.com/Camouflage-Throu ... ll_reviews

William Uhouse April 25, 1925-May 29, 2009 Rome, Pennsylvania has no information in obituaries that corroborate anything he claims about reverse engineering a flight simulator (which if he was involved in it would be so compartmentalized he wouldn't know the source of the tech, and would have merely had one component of many to simulate it, and everything about his demeanor clearly indicates he is not remotely competent enough to be doing anything with this; so why the F would he be talking casually to an alien which wouldn't be communicating "just like you and me." And these idiots commenting on the video blindly believe he's telling the truth!

This woman claims her father worked for Grunman and was responsible for covert work in Groom Lake as a
Red Hat' (which was popularized by Bob Lazar, though most indications suggest what he was talking about was a lie,) which does exist though was mostly involved with reverse engineering Russian aircraft technology found in crash sites.


Though the email is interesting and it sounds atypical for some random engineer, I should mention her name is Vennie Kocsis, and she claims to be a child abuse survivor. . . So I might suggest weighing her statements in accordance (because some people claim to be involved in all kinds of cults but are compulsive liars.) She might be trying to move onto a new book (as her father apparently died after 2016 and she last published in 2014, so maybe she's doing what Whitley Strieber did and is moving onto aliens?

Ended in about 1988.

The next video probably is mostly BS, though it is interesting to look into. I'm pretty sure the red neck seeing lights in the sky while heading to the outhouse and being held up by his hair, is probably a BS artist.













Father Ted full series


I don't really believe in this though will check it out of curiosity.

Playlist




I didn't know this existed until now, and recommend playing it at 1.5x speed.)


Apparently, music was left out of the video for copyright reasons (ironic considering that the video itself should be copyrighted though has some leeway.) Playlist


Previous games OST




Dodes'ka Den. 1970 (The only Kurosawa film I haven't seen.)

Deus Ex (2000) sounds familiar. . .


Oh yeah, and the full walkthrough comprises close to 20 hours so I might not get the chance to look through it. I have attempted to play it prior to the Square Enix releases, though was always distracted from it. The virus theme has always been popular for conspiracy theories, and the Golgo 13 manga/comic NES game Golgo 13: Top Secret Episode did something similar.
