Gone in 60 Seconds (1974). Everything about this movie, how it was filmed, and everything else is absolutely batshit.

Honestly? The PS3 is doing the business, given only a few streaming apps are still supported. I've got The Grand Tour playing, in my effort to skew Amazon's device use metrics. #PrimePS3.

Three cars race across the desert, ahead of other cars. It's from the opening sequence episode 1 of The Grand Tour. It's being streamed from a PlayStation 3.

Hope everyone is ready to serve in the Earth Corps... Because there's an Evil That Lies Within that must be stopped.

Prometheus. Underrated and underused.

No Star Wars. No Star Trek. Name a favorite sci-fi franchise. Killjoys was the wild west in space show that Firefly wished it could be. I said what I said.

Okay, damn, the fire fighting version is dope AF. The German name for these types of vehicles is "Feurerlöschpanzer" and that's a whole new level of kickass.

An M113 converted to fight fires in Europe. It's bright red and the top has fire fighting equipment.

2/4 And when I say "all variants", I mean it. This thing has been *everything*. Hell, even NASA had some as emergency rescue vehicles! They've also been successful fire fighting platforms. It's the closest thing to a universal platform I think we've had. And here's the thing, this little armoured...

In the late 1950s, the first M113 prototypes were tested. Between 1960 and ~2007, something to the order of 80k (all variants) were built. The M113 is a box on tracks. It's the crab of tracked APC design. At the end of the day, people keep developing vehicles with similar profiles and specs. 1/4

I don't want to overhype anything, but I got my contributor edition of Blue Planet: Recontact and I am very, very happy with where the new edition has gone! Also, it's on sale right now! #TTRPG #TRPG #BPRecontact www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/4... www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/4...

Minerva Update: It's been a while, and Minerva remains uncooperative about sharing my chair with me.

My tabby cat, Minerva, aggressively ignores me while laying on my chair beside a pillow that says "party like a pineapple".

You know, I love some retro tech. I live for cassette futurism and its adjacents and descendants. But this just seems deeply dangerous to me!

Minerva Update: This cat! Today it wasn't enough to steal my chair, she went under the blanket on it and created her own little lair! As per, my requests to access to or the return of my chair were ignored.

My tabby cat, Minerva, watches me from inside her blanket fort on my chair.

Just for perspective on this, I found this pic on Facebook (where it was noted it was found on eBay). Japanese edition Traveller art was ON POINT.

Apparently my requests gor chair access were exhausting and now both cats are very asleep.

Minerva Update: In a shocking turn of events, our boy cat, Finn, has stolen my chair! But because Minerva needs a chair, she stole my computer chair! I am currently chairless and my demands for a place to sit have been ignored.

Is this a WIL Save or DEX based dance roll?

A blonde woman in matching crimson pants and bikini top dances on a misty balloon covered floor with two fit men in tight fitting silver and gold outfits that leave little to the imagination. The caption reads: "Ah, Men Stepping Out".

I think this is the BBEG.

Minerva Update: I am still on thin ice about the lack of chair access over the weekend, and Minerva is now ignoring me slightly less and napping more.

Minerva Update: Minerva cannot believe I had the gall to be away all weekend, preventing her from having access to my chair. She is currently ignoring me at maximum power.

The Far Side.

A Far Side comic panel by Gary Lawson. In it, a polar bear sits in a circle of penguins on a floating chunk of ice, wearing a penguin mask on its snout, it's looking at you, the reader. A penguin beside it is saying: "And now Edgar's gone.... Something's going on around here." The penguins do not realize there is a polar bear among them.

Minerva Update: After a hard day of being a cat, Minerva has once again stolen my chair.

POCGamer aka PanzerLion!@pocgamer· Feb 17

Minerva Update: Apparently the weekend was absolutely *exhausting*, and Minerva has needed all the time on my chair today to recover. Requests for use of my chair have been completely ignored.

Minerva Update: Despite a lack of access for most of the day owing to previous instances of mischief and misbehavior when unsupervised, Minerva was quick to seize my chair after we got back from Vancouver Fan Expo.

My tabby cat, Minerva, looks directly into the camera from my chair. Just out of the picture is a cushion that says "party like a pineapple".

Had a good time today at Vancouver Fan Expo! Hit up @adventuredice.ca and got some FATE/Fudge Dice and stickers, and I grabbed a copy of the superhero #TTRPG "Legends" from Matchplay Games (and a bunch of their stickers too!). Now that I know what's up, I'll have a better plan for next year!
