I think of my paycheque like mana in a videogame. Once you run out you gotta chill for a bit to give it time to recharge.

Oh sorry! I live in Canada where we spell things correctly. I understand the confusion, though.
What a polite way to say fuck you

This show hurts my brain
Canāt blame you, itās like a shakespearian comedy about nothing, sped up, with the Middle English replaced by equally obfuscatory Albertan slang.
excuse you, this is 100% Ontario, eastern Canadians do not talk like this

i enjoyed this very much, thank you andrew huang.
this sounds like beethoven on lsd

When you die, you appear in a cinema with a number of other people who look like you. You find out that they are your previous reincarnations, and soon you all begin watching your next life on the big screen.
too much
My previous incarnations throwing popcorn at the screen and booing: this bitch is fucking stupid!!!
the road to el dorado when in the context of a d&d game is the most astounding and hellish streak of 1ā²s and 20ā²s

Heās very happy to protect you, so you donāt have to worry about a thing!!
hope your pets stay healthy in 2017
I almost didnāt blog this and felt guilty
Not risking it
Remember in 1993 when Jurassic Park was likeā¦the end all, be all of special effects?
not gonna lie that still looks intimately real
Iām still somewhat convinced that someone sold their soul to create the special effects in Jurassic Park because that shit is over 20 years old and it still really,Ā reallyĀ holds up, better than the stuff in a lot of current movies, even.
Fucking witchcraft, man.Ā
fucking look at this shit though
Literally see this post flying around with a few different responses added to the bottom each time so Iāll say it for this one myself:
THEY ACTUALLY BUILT A GIANT MASSIVELY DETAILED FUCKING ANIMATRONIC T-REX FOR ALL OF THIS THATāS WHY THE EFFECTS ARE SO GOOD. CAUSE IT AINāT CGI. AND IT AINāT GUY IN A COSTUME. ITāS A BIG FUCKING ROBOT DINOSAUR. AND EVERY PART IS DESIGNED TO MOVE. IT COST LIKE HALF THE BUDGET OF THE FILM.
amazing
And they had the film it in small increments, especially in the outdoor scenes, because the rain fall kept soaking into the āskinā of the rex and would slow down and mess up its movements. So they would stop filming and have a crew out there drying off this massive, fake dinosaur, and then theyād start filming again until it was too wet. Repeat until the end of the scene.
They used animatronics and detailed costumes for most if not all of the dinosaurs in the first movie.
The triceratops for instance, was also animatronic.
And the raptors were dudes in suits. I shit you not.
One of my favorite anecdotes Iāve read on tumblr is how the t-rex robot from Jurassic park would malfunction while it was drying out. How did it malfunction, you might wonder?
Motherfucker randomly started moving.
So apparently if you were on the jp set you would sometimes hear people screaming bloody murder even though they were all well aware that it was a giant animatronic puppet and wouldnāt actually, you know, eat them.
(link to said post about malfunctioning t-rex)
Did not know this, had to reblog for awesome movie history insights.
So, I knew about the animatronics bit but I did not know the raptors were guys in suits and the malfunctioning t-rex sounds terrifying.
And i just googled malfunctioning t-rex and was not disappointed. Apparently in order to put the skin on over the steel frame a guy had to crawl inside the t-rex while it was turned on and glue the skin down. And if somebody turned the t-rex off or the power went out the guy in the t-rex stood a very real chance of getting mangled and killed by the hydraulics.
So of course, the power goes out.
And this guy is still in there gluing the skin down.
Apparently the way to survive getting sheered to death by huge sheets of metal while youāre inside a giant t-rex robot is to curl into a ball and hope for the best.
And this guy hoped for the best and got it.
Some other people on stage pried open the t-rex jaws and glue guy crawled out of its mouth and was totally okay.
This is getting better and better.
I think they only had like 6 minutes of CGI
Iām just waiting for the T-Rex to come to life and leave its stand.
@spinosaurus-the-fisher is this the kind of content you love?
Realism comes at a cost, it seems.
i mean ok but why has nobody posted this:
Itās a three piece raptor suit.
Old movies had the best special effects
The thing about this that gets my special effects nerd going is the fact that EVERY single dinosaur was sculpted by artists based on the current existent archeological evidence of the time.

Even better than that, this movie ADVANCED our best understanding of dinosaurs at the time. Ā They were blowing out a budget bigger than anything Hollywood had ever seen, and along with employing almost the last hurrah of incredible physical FX, they had a bank of those newfangled digital SFX computers. Ā Nobodyād ever really created convincing dinosaurs in a movie before. Ā Itād all been stop-motion animation, and even when the models were exquisitely crafted, you could just tell there was something OFF about them. Ā Spielberg wanted THE BEST DINOSAURS EVER, and he figured on using the cutting edge of digital modeling and animation technology to build them for him.
So they got hold of some of the best paleontologists they could find and said,Ā āWe want you guys to take this tech that your labs could pretty much never afford and use it to build us the most realistic, accurate dinosaur models the world has ever seen.ā
The paleontologists knew an opportunity when it bit them in the ass. Ā They plugged in everything they knew about dinosaurs, all the skeletons and their best guesses about soft tissue and all that. Ā And when theyād created those dinosaur models, they had the computer start moving them as they realistically would with anatomy like that. Ā One guy took a look at those walking t-rexes and velociraptors (really utahraptors, but whatevs, fam), and he said,Ā āWait a minute, Iāve seen movement like that before.ā
He called up film of a chicken walking. Ā Everyone in the room said,Ā āHoly shit.ā
Prior to 1989, the idea that birds were descended from dinosaurs existedāwe knew about archaeopteryx, we knew there was some minor connection thereābut the idea that DINOSAURS LIVE IN THE MODERN WORLD AND THEY ARE CALLED BIRDS was not pre-eminent. Ā Jurassic Park changed our scientific understanding of dinosaurs.
That paleontologistsād be Kevin Padian. Who is awesome.

This post just gets better and better with time
I really want a movie where thereās this Dark Brooding Male Hero whoās like, a total badass, and during all the fight scenes he keeps getting flashbacks to happy images of his wife, and like his whole narrative is framed around his wife, and all the other heroes on his team know that heās got this passion and vengeance and think it all has to do with his dead wifeā¦ but then near the end of the movie his wife shows up and heās likeĀ āhey babeā theyāre all shocked and theyāre like,Ā āWait I thought all your power and passion came from avenging your dead wife?ā and heās likeĀ āno bro, I just really love my wife, sheās really cool, sheās what keeps me goingā likeā¦ a reverse fridge

This is truly incredible.
This really puts into perspective how delicate the ecosystem is.
Very good babies
Isnāt it weird how you can actually feel the pain in your chest and stomach when something really hurts your feelings
This is actually because it activates your vagus nerve! Basically your body goes āwe are so upset! We must be injured! Where???? On the inside guts! Those are confusing and hard to differentiate!!! Confusing guts are hurt!ā
in the virginia legislature, a trans woman just defeated the man who wrote that gross bathroom bill. thatās how history works and thatās why elections matter.. SO proud of every single one of you who voted today.Ā

a 90ās kid? donāt you mean sad adult?
70,000 people have reblogged this but no one is trying to defend themselves
There is nothing to defend
#i read a post once that described 90s kids as the generation of nostalgiaĀ #because so much technological advancement happened in such a rapid timeframe when we were growing upĀ #that we can clearly remember having technologies that are now obsoleteĀ #like going from a corded hugeass phone to a small computer in your pocket just within our formative years is a major thingĀ #and it sparks a nostalgia for our seemly āsimplerā childhoodsĀ #because so much rapid development makes it seem like it was a lot longer ago than it actually wasĀ (x)
This is the most solid explanation of our decade I have ever heard.
Oh my god
Just to add onto that, our childhood wasnāt even technology based. We grew up knowing of chalk, skateboards, jump rope, street hockey, playgrounds, butterfly collecting, etc. Slowly technology took over our lives and now there are hardly kids playing outside in the summer. We can clearly remember our childhood as it was and now we can see the clear line between it. We were the generation right smack in the middle of it all. Our parents were of non-tech and our children/young siblings will be all tech.
Not to mention, ours was the last generation that grew up with all those bright promises of āwork hard, go to college, and youāll have a successful life,ā only to find those hopes abruptly dashed when the housing bubble burst. Milliennials have grown up expecting that disappointment, because for them, the problem has been there since Day One.
So 90s kids arenāt just nostalgicā¦weāre BITTER. And we ache for those days when we could still think that the world was boundless and full of the opportunities we were promised since the first day of kindergarten.
Rightfully bitter.

āWhen I got my first cat, it changed me. There is something about holding a cat that makes your anger melt away. And if someone does something that upsets meāI have to remember my cat. I canāt keep my cat if I get into trouble.ā
āI asked if Major Cabanaw had concerns for the safety of the cats. āOf course, we always want to ensure the safety of the cats, and the staff is great about keeping an eye out for them. But mostly, itās the offenders keeping them safe. I have never once seen an offender kill his own cat. We screen them to be sure they have no history of animal abuse. But Iāll tell you this, there was a guy killed in here because he had spit soda pop onto someone elseās cat.āā
Wow.
Cats now control the prisons. They now have an army.
This post went exactly where I expected. Well done.
