I'm now live with my somewhat ill-advised FMV marathon. I'm starting with Johnny Rock and playing all the DVDs pictured below from left to right. Should take like 8 hours or so, which means I'll be here all day.

In my opinion it’s time to retire the Nobel prizes for fields where most of the important discoveries have already been made, like physics, and add prizes for newer fields where substantial innovations occur every year, like speedrunning

I can't wait for this website to become another image hosting app for aggrieved boomers posting their sparkly stars-and-stripes gifs with the text "I would willingly kiss Donald Trump on the mouth"
