Went to the country side with my parents to gather grapes to make wine. Wasn’t that eventful but I did see a rainbow (it’s actually a double rainbow but the second one is very hard to see in the photo)
If we can get an excellent modern TV series of Mickey Mouse shorts featuring his shrill, high-pitched voice (The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse), I don’t understand why we can’t get a good Mario movie where Charles Martinet does the same.
Heck, I’m sure the cartoonish, slapstick antics of the old-fashioned cartoon style would fit Mario very well as a fully-animated character.
Because they want to use the hype of “hey, this famous person you’ve seen in all these movies is gonna be the voice of this other famous character you’ve probably heard of!” Because film execs have no faith in their audiences.
I probably should have noted my confusion was rhetorical/sarcastic. I know why they’ve got the Pratt headlining the film, as well as the rest of the cast being Hollywood A-listers.
It’s just unfortunate that it’s what Illumination is doing to a series, to a pop-culture icon that probably doesn’t need such tactics, while also still including that original iconic voice-actor as some unknown minor role
Exactly! He would fit so well in a 2D animated style, maybe even in a more comedy-focused genre, instead of the educational animated games of the past, or the adventurous style of the Super Show.
Maybe that’s a bad idea, but I’m watching this series of new Mickey Mouse shorts on Disney Plus (there’s also plenty on Youtube from before D+ was created) – clearly inspired by his classic designs, featuring lots of dialogue between iconic characters – add in a lot of insane situations and things taken to their cartoonish extreme, and I can’t help but wonder if there can’t be something similar for Mario and co., if they’re so interested in finally giving him a proper animated outing.
Home internet is down and checking my ISP’s website on my phone, it’s a known issue and ETA for a fix is in approx 18 hours.
Thank Jeebus I have the latest Peacock server downloaded, but this has been a sharp reminder that the torches and pitchforks should come out if IOI don’t patch H3 to be fully featured in Offline mode in the future.
DONE! All 3 sniper maps at 20 mastery, the final sniper rifle unlocked! After 3 years of putting it off, I’ve finally gotten through it. Now all that’s left is escalations, whatever map challenges I haven’t yet attended to, and any new challenges to unlock IOI puts out, such as when they release new ETAs and such. But now I can break from Hitman until Freelancer comes, I think.
This plane is so old!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!
In the background you can see the retro under footrest luggage space. This is almost as cool as the backwards facing seats. …also I’m drinking a lot bc we are over an hour delayed but they still boarded on time.
Today got myself into some technics shop and was surprised with the prices for stuff being sold there.
Most likely things are preused, but may be new as well, look like as new. I didn’t ask, was just wandering with no exact purpose.
For example Xbox One is sold for about £150, PS5 - £555, GeForce 3090 Editors Edition (or something like that, don’t remember exactly) is about £800. Various VR sets from 40 to 85 pounds.
I consider the prices more or less adequate.
Oh, well, to be honest I consider UK prices more or less adequate in comparison to ukrainian ones
