There can almost never be a movie franchise that is uniformly good, because every time a good movie in the franchise is made, that movie will be financially successful and a sequel will follow.  That sequel might be good, too, but if it is it will just be followed by another sequel.  And another.  The franchise will not end until eventually a bad sequel is made (usually this doen't take long).  The exception is when the movie creators have pre-planned the number of movies they want to make and intentionally end the franchise after that number of movies, e.g. in The Lord of the Rings trilogy.

I'm ashamed to admit I drive an SUV, a Subaru Forester.  I'd rather drive a Prius, or better yet a fully electric car, or better yet no car at all.

Vidgmchtr, do you have access to any sort of public transportation?

I don't know much about Artoon, but if you think only Nintendo can make good Nintendo games then remember who made Metroid Prime...

I just tried this out myself and it looks like you're wrong.  My record before a match was 41:28.  I raced three opponents.  One disconnected after the first race.  I won the match.  My record after the match was 44:28.  So, it looks like I got a win for the opponent who disconnected.

Sustainable net-energy-yielding fusion reactors.
Space-based solar arrays.
Economically viable fuel-cell cars.

Basically, anything to help the industrial world survive peak oil.

They're all on the hinges, but I can't tell if most of them are actually cracks or just intentional seams of some sort.  Most of them appear symmetrically on both sides of the hinge, suggesting that they might just be seams.  One of them is definitely a crack (it has no symmetric counterpart), and it looks exactly like all the others, suggesting that they're all cracks.  I count at least eight potential cracks.

I just read this article about cracks appearing in the DS Lite.  I checked out my own DS Lite, and, sure enough, mine has cracks.  Lots of them.  Oh well... better cracks than dead pixels, I guess.

I prefer wheat to white, but I'd prefer oat bread to wheat bread, or even better, multi-grain bread.  It's moot since I almost never have sandwiches.
