Delayed Links

Here's What Protects Shipwrecks From Looters and Hacks. Cool article on Shipwrecks and what the federal government has done over the last few years to keep salvage teams from damaging them. Or maybe it was just cool to me because I've read WAY to many Clive Cussler books.

‘X-Men: Dark Phoenix’ Pushed to 2019; ‘New Mutants’ Delayed Again. Well, this isn't good. New Mutants was originally supposed to come out this april now it's been pushed all the way back to August 2019? It's crazy, that movie was done filming and everything. Word is they're doing a bunch of reshoots even going so far as to add a new main character. I don't really know anything about the details of Disney buying Fox and how that would impact these two movies but maybe there's something there? I don't know, I'm just a guy hoping New Mutants doesn't turn into the "Terry Gilliam's The Man Who Killed Don Quixote" of superhero movies.

THE LAST SCAN: Inside the desperate fight to keep old TVs alive. I subscribe to the retrogaming subreddit and it's funny whenever you see people super excited they found an old Sony Trinatron. Old CRTs are in a really weird spot right now, they're either completely useless and no one will take them or they're highly sought after and people will pay "top" dollar for them. What a time to be alive.

Far Cry 5 review: Five steps back. This is disappointing to hear. I was actually thinking about finally getting in on this series. Steam had a bunch of the older titles on sale last week and I was "this close" to pulling the trigger. Instead I installed Borderlands 2 and started replaying that game. Man what a great game. Easily one of my favorite FPS from the last 10 years.

Watch The Titanic Sink in Real Time

I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that whoever is reading this right now doesn't have 2 and a half hours to watch a CGI Titanic sink in real time. Or maybe you do, this is a no-judge zone.

The other day my wife laughed at me when I told her I've seen Titanic at least 10 times (5 times in the theater). I don't know what it is about the story of the Titanic but I've been fascinated by it ever since I did a report of Robert Ballard's discover of the wreck way back in 6th grade. If there's a NatGeo or Discover Channel special on it you better believe I'm watching it. It probably has something to do with reading too much Clive Cussler and Peter Benchley as a kid.

There's your lesson kids, don't read too much. If you do you might end up accidentally listening to way too much Celine Dion.
