In the year 2000, the \”Second Impact\”, a global cataclysm, destroys most of Antarctica and leads to the deaths of half of all humanity. The impact, thought by the public to have been a high-speed meteorite impact, causes devastating tsunamis, changes in the Earth\’s axial tilt (leading to global climate change), and later geopolitical unrest (including general economic distress and nuclear war). In the following ten years, the research organization Gehirn and its benefactor, the mysterious Seele organization, achieve a number of impressive scientific and engineering goals, including the creation of giant humanoids known as Evangelions and the construction of Tokyo-3, a militarized civilian city located on one of the last dry sections of Japan, in preparation for the arrival of beings known as Angels.
Fifteen years later, 14-year-old Shinji Ikari is summoned to Tokyo-3 by his father Gendo Ikari, the Machiavellian commander of NERV (the paramilitary successor of Gehirn), and coerced into becoming the pilot of Evangelion Unit-01 on the eve of an Angel attack. Shinji begins living with Captain Misato Katsuragi and is soon joined in his mission to locate and destroy the Angels by Rei Ayanami (pilot of Unit-00) and Asuka Langley Soryu (pilot of Unit-02). However, the true nature of the Angels and the Evangelions is increasingly called into question by the conflicting conspiracies and agendas of both Seele and NERV, and their links to the mysterious Human Instrumentality Project.

(She-Ra Cosplay….)
She-Ra: Princess of Power is an American animated television series produced in 1985 by Filmation. It is a spinoff of Filmation\’s highly successful He-Man and the Masters of the Universe series, aimed primarily at a young girls\’ audience to counter-balance the latter show\’s popularity with boys. As was the case with its predecessor, the show was based on a toy line by Mattel (titled Princess of Power, itself a spin-off from Mattel\’s Masters of the Universe line) and was produced with financial backing from Mattel to promote the toys.
The show follows the adventures of She-Ra, He-Man\’s twin sister, who is leading a group of freedom fighters known as the Great Rebellion in the hope of freeing their homeworld of Etheria from the tyrannical rule of Hordak and the Evil Horde. She-Ra makes her début in He-Man and She-Ra: The Secret of the Sword, a full length animated movie that was created by compiling together the first five episodes of the-then forthcoming syndicated series: \”Into Etheria\”, \”Beast Island\”, \”She-Ra Unchained\”, \”Reunions\” and \”Battle For Bright Moon\”. The series premiered in 1985 and was cancelled in 1986, after 2 seasons and 93 episodes.

Ron Perlman Puts on the Hellboy Make-Up Again

\'\'

In the past three weeks, Spectral Motion has been honored to host two wonderful Make-A-Wish children, Caleb and Zachary. Zachary loved his visit for two very special reasons. It was Zachary\’s wish to meet Hellboy and also to become Hellboy. When the Make-A-Wish Foundation contacted Spectral Motion with this request, Mike thought it would be fantastic to have Ron Perlman reprise his role for the day. Ron loved the idea and donned the makeup once more (with the assistance of Lufeng Qu and Eden Elizalde) and also ordered a Hellboy sized meal of burgers, shakes, and fries for Zachary and his family and the entire Spectral crew to enjoy. Later in the day, Zachary was transformed into Hellboy with the assistance of makeup artists Lufeng Qu and Neil Winn. Both of the Make-A-Wish days were a complete thrill for the families of the children, as well as for the crew at Spectral Motion!

I don\’t miss the 80\’s — EZJTK9VXBJBQ

\"\"Do you miss the era of secret hidden codes in software manuals and books?  Where every sale was to an assumed software thief?
To prove that you paid for this software, please open to page 55, paragraph 3, word 5….  Flip, flip, flip, What the ???

And then he said EZJTK9VXBJBQ to the computer.

Sure, now there is other DRM devices, and workflows.  But that\’s one reason I use steam…  While it\’s not perfect, I know my software is safe, and I can install it as many times as I want/need to…
What\’s your opinion?  Has it changed since the 80\’s?  And if so, in a good way or bad way?
