Oddly enough, I watched this again last night. Love the soundtrack, so vintage! They did a really good job making this film seem like it was from the 70's-80's. Never noticed that about the End credits; I will have to check it out when I get home. I was quite pleasantly surprised first time I saw it, way better than I expected.

Just got my new gas bill. It appears that they've been overcharging me for a while, and I have a $500 credit with them. Time to go buy DoDonPachi Resurrection!

I just checked Youtube and the song is more Daft Punk-sounding than that. Got a link with the cartoon song?

Sure. Here' s the actual end credit sequence from The Raccoons:

And Hobo with a Shotgun Version (couldn't find the video of the end credits, but same song)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPSNXn2vwAs

Make me so freaking giddy. You may have listend to the second end credits song, which is the song Pacer.

Out of all the 80's cheesy songs out there, they had to choose that one. How silly.

I was looking at the apps available at the Android Market when I came across Morse Code Trainer. I had a passing interest in Morse Code in the past but never got around to learning it. The app teaches you in a way that you learn it very quickly.

Over the course of a week I learned all the letters and now I can comfortably write any word in Morse. I doubt I'll find any use for it but it's a nice skill to have nonetheless.

So can someone tell me what's funny about the increase in radiation hitting the Voyager I as it leaves the protective magnetic field of the sun.?

Yea it's awesome I just don't know why it's funny. You have a dude crying because he is laughing way too hard at the bottom of the image and that confuses me.

I really do wish they'd put more money into space exploration. Too busy trying to sustain our bloated populations now.

Hopefully the Chinese space station gets under NASA/ESA's skin enough for us to start launching more people into space. /cynicism

[optimist]
Space X's launch seems to be in the right direction, although no people were aboard the capsule. There is also a company that is looking to start mining asteroids sometime in the next few decades. (i'll have to elaborate more on this at a later time. i.e.: SPACE the THREAD)

Even though we are not sending manned spacecraft to any planets anytime soon, there are plenty of satellites and orbiters sending back tons of information.
HiRISE over Mars, Curiosity rover is landing on Mars August 5th (don't be surprised if this is delayed due to martian weather), Juno will reach Jupiter sometime in 2016, SDO is peering at the sun everyday, Kepler gazing off into other galaxies looking for earth like planets and the list goes on and on.

However, NASA's budget is tiny. Maybe we need to have another threat of nuclear war. :/

You should compare this graphic to see just how tiny their budget is in comparison to say... national defense at $738bn (clue: it's much, much less)

http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badas ... get-again/

By the way, you can find NASA catagorised under "General Science" in the image; So yeah, threat of a nuke war would probably help NASA out a lot.
The universe is neither hostile nor friendly, simply indifferent.

The Activision one was my favorite. Also, at first I thought Nintendo was pleasuring himself with his hand in his pants, which is actually a fitting metaphor for Mr. Fils Aime's over-enthusiasm for his own products.

In merrie olde Englande, it is now a criminal offence to break into (I mean "walk into") people's houses when they're not around. Well good on you, old beans. We in the former English slave territories solved this peevish legal condundrum decades ago, with the landmark "aluminium bats to the heads of home-invading assholes" statute. A tip of the hat to you gents for joining civilisation!

Took the family for a day at the sea yesterday, checked out the pier. Found a Sega Rally 2, Scud Race and Virtua Cop 2 which was cool. The ultimate? F-Zero AX which I've never seen in the flesh before. I smiled lots. Looks like a HD version of the Cube game, the big clunky wheel doesn't really lend itself to the precision required, but an amazing experience all the same.

Taking a break from vertical shoot'em ups, logged onto my regular online poker site a few hours ago and noticed a real money table with a player who had cost me a small fortune a month or so ago and was dominating the play as I joined.

Played aggressively from the outset which resulted in considerable monetary gains and then decided to take a back seat to the action for a while.

Slow played when aforementioned player decided it was time to reassert his position on the table after realising his stack had been significantly reduced in recent play and was confident his oversized bet of 832 dollars on the river with the second best hand possible would be enough to replenish his chip balance.

Unfortunately for him I had the nuts...
