I'm watching it over again for the third time. Dr. Flocks episodes are my favorites. Such a good actor.

Well, at least he owns the rights to the Amber series (for the past few years). He could focus on that. I asked his agent if I could join, but he said, "No." Bastard.

Could always interview me for fun.

I gave you a follow on Youtube. Do the same and I've got your back. :)

Needs a pacifier. :)

Yup. Had one of those. I kept a roll of electrical tape to cover them up on my desk, after writing some sweet code. I ran an RPG BBS on my Apple //e (300 baud modem).

Some cassette tapes could store up to two megabytes of data. :)

But have you used this to load games...

Used one for my Atari 5200, Apple //e, and other devices. I actually bought it at K-Mart. They had a huge computer selection back then (although there was a Radio Shack in the same strip mall). I'm pretty sure I used it on a Coco, TI, Intellivision, Commodore... as well.

It's hard to not vote a lot of Terry's movies as excellent. Although, 12 Monkeys was better in my opinion. I was citing Next as a little more inspirational.

I like better plot twists with time travel. How about a movie where you can see the future?

Close to that... There are visible cues in Half-Life 1 that you could click on for commentary.

Nice! I started game coding in the mid 80's. Some of the oldest multiplayer games on the internet have code I wrote. :)

That's called a post-mortem. Sometimes we publish them and sometimes we don't. In some cases, games have a reel where things are labeled and the team talks about their decisions. I believe a few shooters have done this (such as Half-Life). I do know the Steam engine used to have a nice demo.

My friends wanted to dance at a gay bar. I sat down at the bar, took their purses, and they went off to dance. I ordered a beer and turned to watch them dance. Someone behind me pinched my ass. I laughed and turned to them and said, "I'm here for the women." (Also, I'm a horrible dancer.)
