My sister was obsessed with them when we were kids and it annoyed me to no end. About 15 years later I ended up listening to their first album and couldn't believe how good pretty much all the songs were.

There's a city of Cairo in the United States. I learned that as a kid from an episode of the Carmen Sandiaego cartoon in the 90s and have no idea why that stuck with me for so long.

Metal Gear Solid for sure. Still my favorite game ever but that's only because I got to experience it at the time when it was revolutionary in its cinematic approach with a perfect blend of action and stealth with incredible atmosphere and high quality music production.

However gaming has come so far in terms of production values and cinematic experiences that discovering MGS1 today wouldn't be anywhere near as impressive, especially visually and in terms of its primitive gameplay mechanics.

I think she's an idiot. She has kids who have not only had to deal with her fame and misfortunes but now have to live with their mother posting naked pictures of herself to the world like that. I find that really messed up.

Imagine being a teenager in the late 2030s and your creepy teacher is like "oh yeah I used to watch your mom's music videos all the time"

It's worse now because she parades around instagram butt naked.

The Saturn, yeah, but not the Sega CD. Pretty sure there are less than 10 Sega CD games that aren't FMV trash.

After learning about what the Sega CD was truly capable of and the limited amount of games that actually utilized its graphic and sound capabilities for real games instead of just doing FMV's makes it such a waste of potential. They really had a great system for the time that was severely underutilized because developers were somehow convinced FMV gaming was the future.

The kills get more and more ridiculous and it becomes hilariously goofy. Marathoned them all and had a great time just looking forward to the next over the top kill.

The Genesis was capable of being quite visually impressive if the developers put effort into utilizing all it had to offer. The Adventures of Batman and Robin for example had a ton of impressive graphical achievements because the developers went all in on the line scrolling, paralax scrolling, sprite scaling and rotation and utilization of foreground objects and animation. Unfortunately they made the game so difficult many found it unplayable and missed out on a lot of it.

lmao, will smith was in the right here.

chris rock made a jock about his wifes fucking disease

would that make you happy? probably fuckin not, right? because it's a disease and it's fucking them up.

will should have done more than just smack him

Again though, time and place. Do it backstage in private, make him apologize to Jada, whatever. Don't attack a comic in front of the world for making a joke that was meant to be in good fun. What if he didn't even know about her disease and thought it was a style choice? Not saying that was the case but still a possibility.

Confronting someone on being disrespectful is fine but to lash out in public like that was way too far. And I'm a longtime fan of Wills and will continue to be but this was absolutely the wrong way to handle it. Also there would have been kids watching this show and for Will to choose to display violence like this is so messed up.

I've never actually watched this. I just made it halfway through and I had to stop. Holy fucking shit this couple is bat shit insane. Will has been abused into the fucking floor.

Good god, this is sad af to watch. It really looks like Will has been manipulated and trapped into a severely toxic relationship. I'm usually not one to pass judgment on people I don't know personally but the conversation and reactions to what they're discussing is too weird and too abnormal to give any kind of benefit of the doubt to.

It makes perfect sense if you understand that Will Smith is an insecure cuck.

I think that's what is ultimately difficult for people to get because his public persona is so positive and he projects such confidence and likeability that to see that he's messed up emotionally in such an extreme public display is so bizarre. It's like he lost all sense of rationale and logic and that is not the Will Smith that people have known for 30 years. It's crazy.

Said he can't wait to see Jada in GI Jane 2. Because she has a shaved head. Will laughed at it, she was kinda mad at it. Then Will went up and assault Chris on National TV. Chris Rock took it like a champ, Will Smith just lost any respect he has left and hopefully is charged with assault. Anyone else that did it would be. If you can now assault people for using their freedom of speech then freedom of speech is dead.

I carefully studied his reaction to the joke before they cut away and could not see an ounce of anger or anything close to being displeased. Then in a matter of seconds he's up there ready to assault him.

It's evident that there are a lot of underlying issues there where he was immediately triggered by her reaction. I wonder if it was his own internal unbalance or more needing to please her and have her approval by his action of defending her. I'm thinking the latter which is sad and messed up but either way it is no way a rational response to the situation given the time and place.

Doubtful. Memories are short. There are plenty of people in Hollywood who have done much worse things that are now long-forgotten.

While true, a lot of those probably weren't televised live to the world. Also society today is a lot different now. People's reputations are ruined just by stupid tweets. This is an assault broadcast worldwide so the footage will be around forever and the media will have a field day with it.

A group of actors, producers, and directors couldn't stage a slap?

C'mon now.

No matter if something is legitimate, if it happens on TV in front of the world there will always be speculation of it being staged. Janet Jackson at the Superbowl and Taylor/Kayne had the same speculation that continues to this day.

In this instance, whether it's real or staged doesnt matter because it was a really stupid decision for Will Smith to do this because it was an act of violence and hate and will unavoidably damage his reputation because of the sensitive time we live in.
