I think what made it even better is for the first several minutes of Gus trying to hype it up they were still finishing the animated dot race thing

Gus Johnson trying to hype up the House of Pain song is hilarious. Acting like a bunch of white people jumping to some 90s hip hop is the greatest tradition in college football.

AISD's (and other districts) Plans for Schools Starting August 18
My campus has 2 classroom positions unfilled. Using long term subs for now. We are also short 3 special ed teachers. We have multiple staff that left at the end of last year due to the toll last year took on them. I know of a couple teachers that have left the state and got teaching jobs in other parts of the country because of state level politics. Most districts are short staffed. We also have massive shortages for bus drivers as well. Tons of late busses every day because drivers are having to run back to back routes to cover for missing drivers.

Finally beat Meg on a run involving Doom on both attack and special. Made it several rooms past Meg before dying. Progress though!

Dallas Cowboys 2021 Offseason Thread: Fuck It All
That Winstar commercial is hilarious. Nothing but young attractive people having the time of their life. The few times I've been in that place it's 90% depressed old people chain smoking and dumping their SS checks into slot machines.

School Shooting at Austin High Averted?
Maybe that's the one I was thinking of. There's been so many it's hard to keep them straight.

AISD's (and other districts) Plans for Schools Starting August 18
My district, Plano ISD, has a dashboard that shows the percentage of students who filled out the mask-opt-out form for each campus. It varies wildly across the city and makes a near perfect map of Plano's demographics. The highly Asian and Indian neighborhoods are all over 90% masked up, the poorer neighborhoods are also really masked up, and the Trumpy white neighborhoods have 20% or so opting out of the mask. I'm glad the school I teach at is pretty low % opt out, and I know some of those kids are still wearing masks. I have several students that are flagged as maskless in the computer system but are wearing masks anyway. Their parents opted them out for some political statement, but the kids get masks from the office once they get to campus.

Wasn't Columbine primarily just with pistols?

Hades
I don't get to play as much as I would like so I still suck at it. I might be around 10 runs total and still haven't beaten Meg.

What If? Disney+ Marvel Animated Series
Dude, Black Panther is one of the better MCU movies. It was great.

I don't know what the "Funky Cold Medina" is. Even context clues have failed me.
We've still had a few good laughs each episode but it's a noticable dip.

Things you really just don't get...
Fishing shirts can sometimes have UV protection built in too. Makes sense if you work outside. Backing into a spot can be faster if you have a long vehicle with a bad turn radius, especially with modern backup cameras. You can manuever in tight spaces at slow speeds better when reversing. That's why you are supposed to reverse when parallel parking.

You mean season 8... Only the first episode had that much social commentary. I don't think the cast was going to return to the show if they weren't going to address that stuff. We are still watching but it has certainly lost a spark. Not because of the social stuff, but not having Hitchcock around with Scully is weird. Boyle's hair is weird. Holt and Kevin having problems doesn't fit at all with their prior 7 seasons of backstory. And sitcoms have been doing the "new parents struggling with the baby" story line forever. Even the cold opens have been pretty weak.

NextGen Consoles: PS-5 and XBox X
I've had a PS2 and PS3 in the past. But I went Xbox this time around mostly for Gamepass.

Movies And Their Move to Television. Or Not.
Music rights are also the blame for some shows either never releasing on DVD or finally releasing with new songs replacing originally aired tracks

Hades
It released on all the other consoles this past week, and it's on Gamepass for Xbox. I started it for the first time on a Series X and it's been a lot of fun.

Your Favorite Cop Comedy
I would think to be a cop movie that the protagonist should be the cop. Smokey and the Bandit is an outlaw movie.

Listening to radio stream and it's been a train of cautions and now a red flag.

It's very narrow. I cut cable and can't watch it but I predict a lap 1 red flag.

Microsoft Flight Simulator - August 18, 2020
I downloaded all 102 gb of it and flew around Bora Bora a bit. I need to go through all the tutorials and learn the controls though. Seemed to run fine on the X for the little bit I did. Looks fantastic on a 4k TV.
