It seemed like a decent popcorn flick till that random rap music popped in the background.

Agreed. The music really killed some of the hype.

Hell, even the latest Godzilla film from Japan had a decent chunk of CGI in Shin Godzilla. Though they still incorporated plenty of men-in-suit action.

My nephew doesn't know what the Encyclopedia is, nor "Oregon Trail."

would you like to make your wagon into a boat, or would you like to ford the river?

you have died of dysentery.

more hours than i care to admit. you need to get him up to date on this!

I quit listening to new pop music partly from learning firsthand how easily digitized audio is now recorded and polished. The temptation to clean everything is too great. I feel like CGI is similar in a sense. When the monsters and explosions get too perfect, something is lost.

I tried looking for our old Encyclopedia, but I think we donated them a long time ago.

But for Oregon Trail, I wonder if they ever made an app for that. lol. It'll be fun giving him a frustrating game.

Damnit Green Bay!!

I was really hoping to see them and Buffalo in the SB. Their defense keeps them out of the big game again. How the hell can you not win with a turnover differential like that ?!?!?!

I want to say I only played the original??? The one that was just green and black. I remember beating it once, can't remember how many people survived tho. haha
