Something to tide you over…

Then. Now. Forever.

If it made a man king in 1999, it can make a zig zag in 2018.

Sunset. See. Sploshun. Lightening.
Lots of playing with stuff.

More experimenting with brushes and stuff.
By the way, would anyone object if I skipped Dark Legend tonight and get the Bionic Commando review planned for tomorrow ready? It’s one less video this week, but it’ll be more packed next week.

No, really. Somebody signed Jose Conseco to a pro wrestling contract.
I guess that bat’s worth a little more now, eh, Raph?

Brushes are used to create the star and nebulae, while an actual bald head is used for the planetery object below with some “cloud” effects painted on for good measure. I’d imagine the whole thing would look slightly nicer without the doodled space object, but alas… it is what it is.

From a Walmart… at retail price… and it didn’t work.
But fortunately, I was able to trade it in for one that did work.
And that’s the one presently in this picture.
UP YOURS, SCALPERS!

My buddy sent me this picture he took of a Walmart up north that was somehow selling this lone boxed copy of a Windows XP upgrade kit (complete with Service Pack 2!) An opportunity to run by said store happened a couple days ago and it’s still there.
For those who don’t understand the significance of this, Windows XP is a very old, very ancient version of Windows that saw widespread use in the early to mid 2000s before eventually getting succeeded by the controversial Windows Vista. Microsoft had discontinued all support for Windows XP about a year or two ago.
I want you folks to process this wonderful piece of business. There is a Walmart in the year 2018 that is attempting to sell a copy of WINDOWS FUCKING XP – and not even the full version; it’s just an upgrade! And on top of that, it’s well over ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS!
This is all brilliantly preposterous. I am glad to have witnessed this oddity in space and time… and on Friday The 13th no less.

Got these in the mail a couple days ago along with a copy of Darkstalkers 3 for PSX… but that’s not in the picture because it has no place in this context. (It’ll be in the monthly Pick-Ups video at the end of the month.)
