Yeah, I'm wildweasel. You most likely know me from ZDoom and HG101's forums. I reblog stuff. I also run @reallycoolcockpits, and if you randomly feel like reading fiction, @weaselswriting.
I am beginning to think boston dynamics is just fucking around at this point.

Nine bad behaviours at the movies
1. A gentleman who takes his seat wearing a large hat. Within the large hat is a projector, arranged such that a film is being projected onto the back of the hat. The film on the hat is a different film to the one on the big screen. Thw two films are not thematically consistent.
2. A snake sitting in one of the front seats is noisily shedding its skin. When it gets a particularly tough bit off it gives a big hiss of pleasure. Also, the snake is not wearing clothes and did not pay to enter the movie theatre.
3. Someone attempted to bring their own popcorn in, smuggled under their coat. In fact, they did not check carefully enough when hiding the popcorn and instead smuggled in a paper carton full of bees. The bees are not interested in the film, which has nothing to say to bee culture. They refuse to sit quietly. They would like somebody to call a manager.
4. Two people in adjacent seats have just realised that they know each other from twenty years ago. They will not stop talking about it. In theory it shouldn’t matter, because the adjacent seats are on the screen and the people are characters in the film. However, the film is not very good. Therefore the audience feel justified in telling them to shush.
5. The cinema inadvertantly sold you a ticket to three hours of a blank screen. It was a rather nice blank screen and the seats were comfortable and warm and you ended up having a pleasant nap. But afterwards the cinema refused to sell you any more nap tickets and seemed to think that this was an unreasonable request.
6. A lady in the third row achieved transcendence some ten minutes into the film and was bathed in a warm golden light. As a result, it was exceedingly difficult to see the screen. She was not raised on high above the cinema ceiling for a full fifty minutes, during which time some plot-critical scenes were ruined.
7. During a particularly long scene, someone at the back conceived, gestated and gave birth to a baby. Although they were admirably quiet about it, the baby was definietly too young to be allowed in and had insufficient attention span to appreciate the poetry of the film’s final moments.
8. There are buttons on the seats whick fold them up into neat cubes for when films about mathematicians are shown. The function of the buttons is not labelled in a way that is readable in the dark. Every showing at least two or three people are cubed by mistake, dooming them to bitter lives as play items in childrens’ activity centres.
9. Someone has brought a bottomless bucket of crisps to the cinema. During a particularly gripping scene, they fall into the bucket. The crunching and screams as they plummet endlessly to their doom quite ruins the rest of the film.
Some adjustments to vertical traversal options. Namely, making it easier to climb up through a one-way platform with the hookshot, added a “hookshot drop” (down+hookshot while standing on one-way platforms) that automatically latches you below a one-way platform, and lastly, wall jumps.

One of the 20,000 Remington-made 10-gauge “Mark III Very Pistol” Flare guns produced for World War I service. They were left behind when the US expeditionary force set out for Europe since they would not match the gauge of the flares used by the French and English.
