They made Donkey a stallion and made him white, and during the episode of 'KNIGHTS' showcasing the chase with Shrek, Donkey, Puss in Boots, and the others, they call Donkey a 'white bronco' on the police radio while the chase unfolds.

I can't believe I never noticed this detail until now. Now I'll never unsee it.

What is that one single video from Dunkey do you just bust a gut at every single time you watch it, no matter when you do? It's gotta be one of his videos that you find the absolute funniest, the one that you always end up laughing at, whether it be due to its absurd nature, Dunkey's silly commentary, or something else entirely that makes you lose all composure and find absolutely hysterical.

My pick? It's this one video from Dunkey, Japan World Cup. In this one video, he is showcasing a huge collection of horse derby racing animations that are part of much bigger DVD box sets (that are purchasable), where there are several different kinds of horses, animals, and etc., with the animations being silly and often involving hilarity, like a horse riding in a car, a rocket-powered horse, a Trojan horse breaking, and other hilarious types of situations. The animations alone are funny and silly enough on their own, but Dunkey's funny and outright hilarious commentary on the animations passing them off as real derby races and freaking out over different scenarios, the funny and humorous sound effects edited in, and everything else just makes this an absolutely hilarious and funny video.

Nowadays, most, if not everyone online are toxic fiends and just harass and bully people to make fun of them while feeling like they are better than them. It is horrible and it makes the victims feel miserable. It is absolutely wrong and disrespectful, especially to people who are less fortunate than others and can't pay for expensive luxuries like Rolex's. What ever happened to being kind to people? I feel like most people online, especially on Reddit, just get a kick out of being toxic, insufferable brats. Back when I was a kid, people were far more respectful online and actually showed empathy and compassion to people. Now, it's the complete opposite. Which is why I lashed out on one guy in one of my most recent Reddit posts. If you aren't gonna be nice about it, why the hell should I be nice to you? It's called 'respect', and it's earned, not given. I feel like ever since the COVID outbreak most people online have acted more like manchilds. It's all too common on Twitter, Reddit, Facebook, pretty much all of social media in fact. People have seriously forgotten what it means to be 'kind'. Being 'kind' does not involve belittling people and bullying them. You lot need to take a long-ass look in the mirror and see how awful you're being. It was in a ranting subreddit for crying out loud and there was someone being toxic to a person making a genuine argument over in-game skins you have to buy using physical items (which is stupid, and I STAND by my opinion). I'm tired of being nice to people who act like assholes. I used to have more patience, but life is too short and I'd rather just not bother with them. We all need to remember kindness, and by God, it's literally the first rule of Reddit: "Remember the human". You may see a username as just a username, but there is a person on the other side that is the one having to take this toxicity and abuse. You are hurting a real person on the side and that should make you feel ashamed of yourself. I don't know what the hell happened, but it is just depressing as hell that pretty much nearly everyone online has turned into toxic fiends over someone simply stating an opinion. I think we need a complete resetting of humanity, Thanos-snap everyone out of existence and restart the entire human evolution tree. That way the new generation of humans can learn from us and our toxicity and be more nicer and kind to others. It is not hard to be nice and respectful to others, my God, stop acting like it is. You're not only making a fool out of yourself, you're also making people hate you to the point that they want to block you and avoid your presence anywhere on Reddit or any social platform for that matter.

The only thing I hate about DOOM: The Dark Ages is the fact you need to buy physical items for some in-game skins. I am wanting the Executioner skin but it’s locked behind a limited-edition Xbox controller that is probably already sold out by now.

The fact that you need to buy physical, real-world items for a fucking in-game skin is just fucking absurd. Like, come on, are you actually fucking serious?! You have to buy a fucking TWO THOUSAND DOLLAR GPU BUNDLE for the Legionary skin? That is just absolutely ridiculous. And then there’s that Ranger skin. You’re telling me that I have to buy a LIMITED-EDITION PIZZA from a specific pizza parlor to get the skin? I am nowhere near a Prince St. Pizza location! So, I have to fly across the US just to order the Hellfire Pizza? That is crazy and it is absolute fucking insanity. I cannot afford plane tickets to travel across the fucking nation.

The fact the skin I want, the Executioner skin, is locked behind a physical controller purchase is nuts. The controller is probably already sold out, so I am probably just not going to get this skin at all unless I buy a DOOM Xbox controller for an inflated price from a scalper. And now, my only options to get the Executioner skin are to either buy the controller from a scalper, buy a code from a reseller, or go in the corner and cry. It is just like someone dangling an object or prize in front of your face and laughing at you just to fucking tease you. “Haha, I have this exclusive in-game item and you don’t, go cry about it!”.

This FOMO bullshit is exactly why I quit playing Fortnite. “Do you want this skin or emote? Well, you better hope you have enough VBucks for it before it is removed from the Shop forever!”. It’s the ‘fear of missing out’ on exclusive items and it is absolute BULLSHIT. It’s exactly why I HATE limited-edition items and bundles. It creates a sense of FOMO for not wanting to miss out on exclusive items, which will make people do stupid and dumb purchases for in-game items. This is about as dumb as paying $80 to have Vader locked in Battlefront II and having to spend real-world money just to unlock him.

Limited-time items are fucking stupid and they should be in the goddamn game to begin with. It’s like when EA said it “creates a sense of pride and accomplishment for unlocking different heroes”, basically telling people the more you spend, the more you’ll feel superior. I don’t have money falling outta my ass. Just put all the damn skins in the base version of the game and make them unlockables for completing certain missions and challenges. I come from an age when we earned EVERYTHING through just playing the fucking game. Rewarding Gameplay. Paying for skins is NOT rewarding, it’s fucking tedious.

It’s the ONE goddamn thing I hate about DOOM: The Dark Ages. I do NOT wanna spend eighty fucking dollars on the limited-edition controller just to have the Executioner skin!

Make it make sense and just put them in the fucking game to begin with! It’s fucking stupid, Bethesda.

I was a victim of this website.

I had to go through this website when I was in high school.

NoRedInk is a terrible way for students to learn basic ELA. The first thing is that instead of students' taking their time to look at each question thoroughly, it is instead much easier to just rush through each question instead to attempt to complete the assignment in the fastest time possible, which hinders their true learning experience while using this website. The second thing is that this site uses a very harsh system for penalizing mistakes. If a child gets a question wrong at any point during a NoRedInk assignment, the program automatically imposes three extra questions which the child must correctly answer in a row, in which don't even contribute to the final score, and the counter resets if another question is incorrectly answered. This 'penalty system' approach can be very demotivating and especially brutal to students since it makes them do extra questions just for simply making an incorrect answer or making a tiny mistake and accidentally placing a word, etc. in the wrong location. This hinders their learning process and it takes much needed time out of their days, with some assignments reportedly taking well into the late hours of the night when children are supposed to be sleeping instead of focusing on school or any kind of homework for that matter.

The next thing is that NoRedInk genuinely causes harm to the students - harm that can cause negative effects to them later on in their lives. Students are not motivated when they are forced to do these assignments because they take too long to complete and it makes them do even more questions for every single incorrect answer. Instead of providing a true, honest learning experience for the very students in question, it makes them stressed out and unmotivated. This causes them to want to rush through the assignments instead of paying attention to each question carefully, because it causes them severe stress. The stress that comes from this program is very, very harmful and can cause permanent damage to them later on as adults. This site can cause things such as multi-personality disorder, sleep deprivation, depression and anxiety, and a lot of other things. This site has even caused some students to have severe thoughts about offing themselves to get rid of the pain the site has caused them. The fact kids are wanting to commit should be a giant red flag in the first place and force severe change to the ecosystem of NoRedInk, most notably penalizing mistakes in a much more friendly manner. It ultimately ends up ruining the days of students, lowers their grades, and severely harms their mental and emotional health to the point of suicidal ideation. Yes, it's true. I've heard about attempts to do it over this site online.

Also, the site doesn't even give the students any useful tips when it comes to the hints the site provides. Whenever a kid gets stuck on a question, they can click on the hint to have NoRedInk tell them what they need to do for the assignment. However, the explanations the hints give are way too broad and are very hard to understand even for a teacher. It uses broad and vague wording that the kids cannot comprehend, and the hints don't go into detail and don't leave any lasting impact on the kids to the point they'll know what to do - they'll just be confused. It doesn't help the fact that every time a kid needs to rely on the hint, they're given a warning beforehand about using the hint during a question, and if they have to rely on the hints, they will have to do, again, three extra questions in a row and answer them all correctly. This makes students not even want to rely on these hints, because they know if they use a hint, they will be penalized by being forced to answer three questions in a row. So, not only are the hints not helpful for the students, but they also might as well not even bother to look at the hints to begin with, because it will always result in them getting punished with three extra questions, that again, they will have to answer correctly in a row.

On top of that, there's no true reward for completing a lesson, let alone an assignment. All you get is some stars on the lesson in question, and that is it. This does not make students determined to complete the NoRedInk assignment, since there is no reward on the other end that would make the several hours of work worth it, let alone a reward at all. It doesn't give you anything for completing a lesson - just stars saying you've completed the lesson at the end of the lesson, and then, back to your main home screen with an inspirational quote. Making students determined to complete these lessons would require a real reward on the other side, such as access to a fun activity, or even a fun video going over the topic of the lesson. Rewards like that would make students want to complete these assignments, and it would severely boost student productivity and it would result in better marks.

And speaking of activities, there are no activities on the site at all. It's just a boring, generic educational website that only has the bare necessities that qualify it as such. There are no fun games, activities, or anything at all that make NoRedInk a fun experience: just assignments that do nothing but stress out and push students to their limits for no reason in the name of 'homework'. An equally despised site is one under the name of Study Island, a website with a quiz-like system for assignments. The website had fun games that students' could play in their downtime while waiting for further Study Island assignments, or just to pass time when they're done with their work. There are no games on NoRedInk at all, which severely hinders the enjoyment of the site and makes Study Island feel like a far more reasonable investment over NoRedInk, since there's nothing 'fun' about it.

And also, this website makes teachers' jobs so much harder as well. Why? Well, since they assign so many NoRedInk assignments, it makes it much harder for teachers to do their jobs since they need to look over each and every assignment by each and every student in every hour they teach. It takes time away from a teacher that could be spent on doing far more important things, such as tutoring kids who are struggling with the assignments being assigned to them. It creates a heavier workload for teachers who now have to do twice as much work looking over each completed NoRedInk lesson, and it can cause teachers to become overwhelmed and exhausted with how much of the work they need to take a look at on top of the other assignments they have assigned for their class. Their job is already hard enough as it is, and NoRedInk just forces them to work 2 times as hard to the point it drives them to exhaustion. It makes their jobs harder and even more difficult, since they're having an extra layer of work to look over.

And speaking of such, the site also causes students to work 2 times as hard as well. NoRedInk assignments have reportedly been caused to take multiple hours to complete due to the harsh penalty for simple and honest mistakes. Some reports say it took students 3 hours, some 5 hours, and even some longer than that, sometimes to the point where it keeps them up late to the point they are well up past midnight, which affects their sleep schedule in a very negative way. The typical time that it should take to complete one of these assignments should be around 20 to 30 minutes max. It should not take longer than half an hour to complete a lesson on this site. But, some students have gotten especially unlucky when it comes to NoRedInk lessons, and that is because it is reported that some students are multiple days late on some of these and are still not done with the lesson. It wastes students' time and it takes much needed time out of their days that they could be spending on doing other, far more important things. But, the sheer volume of how many NoRedInk assignments are given, and how it all too often takes too long to complete one of them, diminishes their time value they could be spending on doing assignments for other classes, and it adds on to an already heavy homework load, of which they have enough of it already. They are already tight on homework as it is, and NoRedInk only gives them even more of it on top of the homework they've already been assigned (or are about to be assigned). Not to mention the fact that the amount of times that they are given these NoRedInk assignments takes much needed time away from a child's development that should be used on developing them and introducing them to the world, it's beauty, and lots of other things.

This site also causes bad student behavior - some students have experienced severe emotional outbursts in the middle of class due to NoRedInk's toxic learning structure. Some of them have ended up destroying school equipment (most notably school-issued laptops) or home devices they took with them to school. Students have expressed severe anger at this site sometimes, and emotional breakdowns in the middle of class due to it are all too common in personal stories about the site online. You will constantly hear stories about how NoRedInk caused them to break a personal device or caused them and/or their classmates to get very angry and frustrated. The emotional response students have to this site is nothing short of completely negative. If a learning tool is harming students enough to the point where they actually start showing anger, then the teachers need to re-evaluate what programs they are using to teach said kids. Some students have actually given up on some lessons at times, and just ultimately refused to do the work, and some students are genuinely frustrated. But, they are most notably scared. They are ultimately scared of failure. Why? Because failure means more NoRedInk, more copy and paste questions, and more anger and frustration. But, some students have even ended up dropping out of school due to NoRedInk, because they got sick and tired of the website and its constant, stressful environment.

And lastly, NoRedInk fails at leaving a meaningful mark on students and actually teaching them ELA. With all of the core factors contributing to students, teachers, and even parents not liking the website, it fails at leaving an impression in a ton of different ways. But, the most notable part of this is that it doesn't help them with retention of the material that is taught to them. Because students are being forced to rush through assignments instead of looking over them carefully, students will end up easily forgetting about the material taught to them, as NoRedInk did nothing to actually help them understand the material fully, and it will leave their brains quickly as a result, in a month at maximum. There is a video game called Timez Attack that teaches kids multiplication through video gaming, as the creators of the game, Big Brainz, actually did in fact consist of former game developers who made games for the PlayStation 2. The addition of Timez Attack being a full-on 3D computer game full of various worlds, like a Machine world and Lava world, made learning multiplication fun and engaging. The developers wanted to get away from traditional methods of learning like NoRedInk, and so, they wanted to create a fun way for students to learn their multiplication facts. And as a result, students (players) who came out of Timez Attack ended up getting extraordinary final marks on their post-credits scores - with the highest being an eye-popping 95% fluency. And guess what? Those students were able to hold on and continue to memorize and understand those multiplication facts, because it was a full 3D game. That game helped students retain those facts, and it is the reason why teachers recommended this game to everyone they could find: student grades improved exponentially. NoRedInk does not have anything that makes it engaging in any way, and combined with the need to rush through each lesson and the penalty system penalizing small and honest mistakes, makes it extremely hard for kids to retain basic ELA lessons. They did nothing to innovate or improve. It's just another generic website that has no staying power in kids' minds, since there is nothing about the site that helps these kids with retention of basic English. I'd give it a week max, and then poof, the material they learned would be gone.

In summary, this site is nothing short of ineffective, and it does a lot more harm than good to not only students, but also teachers. This is not a site that you should be using as a tool to teach kids English in school. There are far better ways to teach kids English and this site is absolutely not one of them. There are too many negatives that completely outweigh any of the positives about this site, and it doesn't leave any meaningful impact. This is mediocre at best and atrocious at its worst, and it's more usually atrocious than anything mediocre. If you are looking for a site to teach kids ELA, I'd recommend you steer clear away from this site and look for alternatives that will actually help kids understand the material. Throwing them onto NoRedInk is just setting them up for failure and it will end up with frustration, tears, and quite possibly holes in the wall. Avoid it at all costs.

You all should be angry, and quite frankly, pissed off at both Sony and the infamous UMG record label. They are trying to get a stupid-ass law passed that might end up killing the Internet entirely if it goes through. This new proposed law brought on by these companies will turn your Internet service into an expensive paperweight if you are found to be pirating anime content. You watch a clip of an anime on YouTube, by any chance if this law is passed? BOOM - you have just permanently lost access to your Internet service entirely. This law is a massive human rights violation and is a massive breach of privacy! What if you just watched an anime clip on a website such as Twitter and had no idea that it was a pirated clip? What if you didn't do anything wrong and are living with someone who was in fact pirating anime content? Nope, you still lose access to your Internet seemingly for the rest of your life and it applies to the whole household. That's right, your service will never be turned back on if you break this proposed law even ONCE. There is one side you should draw your pitchforks to and that is Sony and Universal Music. This is going to flat-out kill the Internet if this is passed. These companies need to know that what they're doing is a MASSIVE overreach and overstepping of their boundaries. If this gets passed then I am fully expecting UMG and Sony stocks to tank like crazy, the foundation of YouTube being entirely ruined, VPN sales increasing tenfold, and even hackers attempting data breaches on both companies. We need to stop this from moving forward! I am getting sick and tired of these stupid companies trying to bully us normal internet users into submission. We need to start fighting back and pushing back against the narratives these companies propagate! Enough is ENOUGH! We should REFUSE to stand by and have our basic human rights listed in the Constitution ripped away from us ANY LONGER! WE ALL SHOULD PROTEST AGAINST THIS LAW AND DEMAND THAT IT IS SHELVED FOR GOOD. AND ESPECIALLY BOYCOTT BOTH SONY AND UMG! There's already been severe backlash online regarding this proposed law and I can bet there's gonna be so much more later on should this law actually be taken into effect. And I bet this law is going to end up backfiring in both Sony and UMG's faces spectacularly. I can fully bet that this is probably just gonna end up causing the number of people pirating anime content to increase tenfold - a classic case of the Cobra Effect in action.

My final words? Fuck you Sony and UMG! Please do the world a favor and go kindly FUCK YOURSELVES! 🖕

Blacklisted from The Internet Over Anime Piracy if This Law Backed by Sony and UMG Passes

(in the style of AVGN's YKWBS series)

You know what's BULLLLLLLSHIT? Those tiny-ass door locks that you have to push to lock the door. Who designed these? They are seriously the worst fucking door locking mechanism I have ever seen in my entire life. You know how on most doors, especially bathroom doors, where they have dials that you turn to lock and unlock the door? Super convenient and easy to use. But those fucking tiny lock buttons you have to push are the complete opposite. These things are so poorly and horribly designed. They malfunction so fucking easily! They are these tiny little buttons right next to the doorknob that you, you guessed it, push to lock the door, and you have to turn the doorknob for the lock to be disengaged. These things are so prone to issues, it's unreal! Sometimes, the goddamn lock refuses to deactivate after the doorknob is turned and actually gets jammed! So, you'll have to fight with getting the fucker freed so the door can be properly used from the outside. But wait, that's not all. Imagine if you lock the door with one of these things to go to the bathroom. I mean, no one wants to see you do your business! So, it would be logical to lock the door. And then, when you are done, you get out, and you shut the door behind you, thinking nothing of it, but behind your back, guess what? The fucking lock is still active! And you didn't even notice it. And then, when you try to open the door again, you can't! Congratulations, idiot! You just locked yourself out of the bathroom. And now, since you have no way of getting into the bathroom because of the shitty lock still being primed, your only hope? Pry open the door with elbow grease using random things from your home. No one wants to do this shit! It's much extra work! Especially when you gotta go really bad! You can't just afford to shit yourself, you gotta go take care of yourself! But the damn lock won't fucking budge, no matter how hard you try and get the door loose! You try everything; screwdrivers, your whole body, pens, pencils, scissors, and everything else. No. Dice. The door won't move a fucking inch. And then, you finally get in after like 30 or so minutes, and realize the goddamn lock was still turned on! How were you even supposed to know that? I've had this bullshit happen twice to me already with the bathroom door in my living room. Twice. Both times I had to pry the damn door open. The first time, I had to use a flyswatter, and the second? A god. Damn. Backscratcher. Yes! I am NOT kidding! I had to use a fucking BACKSCRATCHER to pry open a goddamn DOOR that wouldn't budge! And it's all because of this fucker. How are these things even allowed to be sold, let alone produced? They are so prone to getting stuck and jammed that there's gonna be a shit-ton of incidents like this one! Why can't all doors just have a goddamn dial lock like every other door out there? It's such a laughably bad excuse of a door locking mechanism. It works fine except when it doesn't want to. I can't even fathom how often people have locked themselves out of their bathrooms, their rooms, or even their entire fucking homes due to these bastards. This is such garbage-ass design! These fucking things should be OUTLAWED! And you know the little "clink" sound that the lock makes after its been deactivated? Well, when it gets jammed, it makes no such noise. But, you don't really think anything about it and shut the door when you're out, and you end up unintentionally locking yourself out because of shitty-ass architecture! It doesn't help that the doorknob on the outside can't be moved for shit when the lock is active. So, if you lock yourself out due to one of these, you gotta pry the damn thing open to get back in. Those tiny buttons just feel so fucking cheaply made. I mean, I wouldn't be surprised with how often they malfunction! It's just a simple-ass door lock and it ends up fucking people over and causing them undue stress and loss of time for no reason. These things piss me the fuck off. Why did anyone think these door locks were a good idea? They're not! Not even close! They all too often stop working correctly and require unjamming. I mean, what the fuck? These things need to be just flat-out banned across the entire goddamn country. Yeah, imagine if your fucking car had one of these! You'd be fucked! You wouldn't even be able to get in your vehicle to drive. You wouldn't be able to go to work, get gas, get groceries, anything! You'd be stuck with a fucking door that takes an eternity to get open if you have the strength and patience. But if not? Boom! Probably fired from your job. "Yeah, my car door is jammed!" "No excuses, fired".

These tiny-ass door lock buttons existing is proof that we've failed as a society. And THAT... is BULLSHIT.

What is that one video game cheat code you'll never forget about?

I'll start us off with the classic "Explode All Cars" cheat from the classic 2004 game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, as that is one that I remember using a lot for no rhyme or reason:

R2, L2, R1, L1, L2, R2, SQUARE, TRIANGLE, CIRCLE, TRIANGLE, L2, L1

For me: Easily Portal 2.

A deeply rich story, funny dialogue, and great puzzles that will truly make your brain think. The story is very rich and spans across several different eras of Aperture history, going as far back as the 50s. The dialogue is funny and some of the lines are the most memorable in all of gaming (like the Cave Johnson lemon rant). And last but not least, the puzzles are great. They start off pretty simple, but as you progress further in the story, they get more and more complicated, especially when you get the repulsion gel and proposion gel. I feel like Portal 2 is the Gold Standard for puzzle games that every game that comes after it will be judged on.

Also, if you don't own Portal 2 yet, now is a fantastic time to get it - it's on sale for $1 on Steam, same with Portal 1. And if you want both games, the bundle containing both games is $1.50. Do not miss out on this offer, it's so worth it.

To me, nothing will EVER top the magic of Smokey and the Bandit.

Literally one of Hal Needham's and Burt Reynolds's greatest works to date. The plot is very simple: The Bandit accepts a challenge set by Big and Little Enos, which is to travel down to Texarkana, TX to illegally bootleg 400 cases of Coors, and deliver them back to Atlanta, GA, all within a 28 hour time limit. This film's plot actually makes a lot of sense when you think about US laws of the time. Bootlegging laws were much more stricter back then, especially in Texas. Taking beer east of Texas was considered as bootlegging, and it would have severe consequences for anyone who was caught doing it. So, this film's plot is actually based off of the real US laws of the late 70s. It only adds to the authenticity. Laws since then have gotten much more leniant, but they are still made to keep people in check from time to time. It's almost interesting to see the changes from the late 70s to now. It was like a completely different world entirely, and that authenticity only made the film more special, since we got to see the relics of a by-gone era of the United States. I mean, just look at the set comparisons on YouTube. It's like it became a whole different world overnight.

Then, you also have the AMAZING and WONDERFUL country soundtrack composed by the one and only Jerry Reed. He actually stated himself that the film, originally, did not have a music score when he was pulled in as the composer, and the film was nearly ready to be released. So, within a short time span, Jerry Reed composed an entire film soundtrack in such a short timespan, and gave us one of the most legendary pieces of country music in the form of "Eastbound and Down". But that's not it. Jerry would also make "Westbound and Down" as well, which would prove to be quintessential to the film's plot. You see, in the film, when they are heading down to Texas to get the beer, they are going westbound, and you hear "Westbound and Down" playing as a result. This is during the very beginning of the journey. And when they are on the freeway passing by a truck convoy, they are heading back to Georgia, which means they're going eastbound, and that's why you hear "Eastbound and Down", which plays MUCH later into the journey. It shows which direction they are traveling across the US at that time; "Eastbound and Down" playing signals they are nearing the end of their journey, and "Westbound and Down" means the journey has just begun. All in all, that is some truly EXCELLENT soundtrack continuity. It really goes to show how much of a blast they were having making this. He did a wonderful job composing the soundtrack.

But, of course, the star of the movie, is of COURSE Jackie Gleason, who plays as Sheriff Buford T. Justice. Oh man, he was SO FUNNY in this film. In fact, most of his dialogue was completely improvised and wasn't even actually in the script. The things he said during the movie? That was all him doing that on the fly, off the top of his head. His improv in this film was truly off the charts. He made that movie very special. In fact, you know that entire scene where Buford T. Justice and The Bandit run into a restaurant and have a nice, friendly chat, all the while Buford doesn't even realize he's talking to the very person he is after? Guess what? That was Jackie's idea. That entire scene wasn't even supposed to be in the movie. He came up with the idea himself, and as such, it was added to the film on Jackie's request and he made that scene entirely his own. Well, lemme tell ya, that scene became one of the most important scenes of the film, and quite frankly, one of the funniest as well. If it weren't for Jackie Gleason with his incredible improv, this film would have just been a mediocre 'modern-day Western'. But, Jackie's funny dialogue made the movie, he quite literally stole the show. His incredible talent in this film will never be matched. Ever. His improv was literally incredible. God, I miss him and his energy...

This is an absolute must-watch for any car/truck lover. You will absolutely love this film and have a good laugh!

For me, easily Spec Ops: The Line.

That game took an incredibly dark turn during the White Phosphorus scene. You know those top-down camera views in Call of Duty where you shoot enemies from the sky? This game does that, too. And then, boom, you find out that you just burned a refugee camp to the ground with phosphorus bombs. And this game actually forces you to walk through the travesty you just caused, and see all of the flaiming remains of soldiers screaming for help and buildings and cars burning and on fire. But, the most haunting part of that scene is the burning carcass of a woman holding her child as the white phosphorus breaches through the gate.

That image has been burned into my brain. 10/10 will not be playing again anytime soon

For me personally, it's the Season 8 episode "Space Mutiny", which was also the first MST3K episode that I ever watched.

That bit with Mike bonking his head on one of the many railings Servo placed in the Satellite of Love and tumbling all the way down it while yelling before splashing into water sent me into an absolute laughing fit. I laughed for a good 10 minutes at that, I kept replaying that scene. It was pure comedic gold.

Concord is definitely DOA (Dead on Arrival)

I don't blame the devs for making the game, I blame the suits for not letting anything more interesting come out of the studio

My pick is Stanley Kubrick's 1968 masterpiece, 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Also Sprach Zarathustra by Richard Strauss will forever be one of cinema's greatest opening themes. And combined with the opening credits of the movie with the sun rising slowly over the Earth was absolutely groundbreaking and legendary. It is truly one of the greatest opening credits sequences of all time.
