Chat - Misc / 80's cult movies remakes
Last post by Mortimer Macmire - November 15, 2025, 10:42:01 PM
Don't know if there are any other fans of 80's cult movies here. But lately there has been a couple of great (and not so great) remakes of those movies.

In the last two months Red Sonja (not good) and Toxic Avenger (good) got their remake/reboot released and last week the LEGENDARY Deathstalker franchise got a new entry released (Really good).

If you haven't seen any of the original movies I can also highly recommend those in all of their glorious cheesiness  ;D !

Cool, didn't know this poll existed. Although I'm not as good as the guys on television, I weekly play darts in a local competition. So I follow it quit closely. I even played a couple of the players mentioned (Van Gerwen, Anderson) many years ago.

But for now I have to go for the most sensible answer which obviously is Littler. Although due to his long career without a World Championship and his recent resurgence I also hope Wade will make it far this tournament.

I hope both Lukes will fail this time.

Albeit I intended to take a hiatus for the whole season, I raced in January 2024 just to make it round: 120 tracks, that are exactly 10 years. 8)

Wow, I had never thought about it, but yes: in my mind one does not miss a ZakStunts race 🤣 At the minimum, I always drive a relaxed lap to have a look at the track. Then I think: oh, what about that other car? could I drive that part differently? And there you have it, a more or less competitive replay ready to upload.

Again, thanks for digging this numbers out, @alanrotoi!

pipsqueaks sorted by consecutive races! Their best bunch of races without missing any of them. I probably missed few pipsqueaks with more than 20 consecutive races. Persistence is very important, but undervalued. Congratulations to those who achieve it!

You cannot view this attachment.

@Frieshansen , @Erik Barros , @Mark Nailwood, @Zapper, @Mortimer Macmire and @Spoonboy never missed a race! And @stan286xt only raced those 62 tracks period but his last race was in January 2024.
@Shoegazing Leo and @Duplode shares the same tracks! They don't miss a race since January 2015.
@dreadnaut leads the list. He doesn't miss a race since October 2012 :o

PS: This is my 6000th post :D

I didn't understand. Any explanation? What I do know is that programming in BASIC is a very different experience from programming in BASIC:

Quotealthough almost all home computers came with BASIC interpreters, they were also different, so a program written in BASIC for one computer would generally not function without modifications on another computer.

Next:

Quotewhat I try to achieve with my programs is some portability (through time, more than from platform to platform, but both are good). [...] SDL does not solve this.

Yes it does. All you have to do is make your graphical and sound functions work with all 3 versions of SDL, which is what I did.

QuoteI just find that SDL is in itself like a language and programming for it in C is a very different experience from just making a C program (or C++).

name a third-party library (with non trivial api and multi-domain and multi-platform) for C that does not give you these vibes :)

as soon as you would try to write a multi-platform wrapper (capable as SDL2-3) around input,output,sound,etc. you would see that the SDL api is really small for what its helping/keeping from you - you're just not used to it - thats all

Very nice fact-based list - I belong in Class B, though, because I've never won a ZakStunts race.
