Every year on or right before 9/11, we show this video to our students. It’s not only powerful story-telling, it’s a reminder to a younger generation about how life altering 9/11 was for those of us who lived it. It’s only 10 min #themanintheredbandana
Every year, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.
They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.
France also gave us this land as American soil. #MemorialDayWeekend
My goodness…
I don’t ever want these to end. This is unbelievable. Please, for the love of all that is holy, take 11 minutes to watch this. Can’t believe it. I love this damn team so much.
Nonstop goosebumps & tears in my eyes.
God bless you @Eagles
20 years ago we released Grand Theft Auto - San Andreas.
The original plan was for the 3 cities to be on separate maps. The player would travel between the cities using trains and planes.
(Gta 1 and 2 also had three cities on separate maps)
Memory was very tight on the ps2 and with separate maps, the other cities’ skyline models wouldn’t have to be in memory.
It would also make it easier to have different police/ambulance/firetrucks for each city. Different pickups, weather types etc.
It would also be easier to contain the player until it was time for the next city.
It would also make it easier to organize the models on the DVD city-by-city which would help the streaming.
Just before the artists started working on the three maps, we had a final meeting at R* North in which we changed our minds and decided to go for a big map after all.
We still ended up doing city-specific pickups, police cars and weather.
Happy birthday San Andreas. You turned out all right.
.@TheAtlantic actually published an article saying that calling attention to artificial colorings in children’s food that are linked to ADHD and banned in nearly every other country makes Froot Loops “boring.”
I hope you find peace Elaine.
