3 weeks 6 days ago
From the Adafruit blog: Greg Technology (aka Greg Sadetsky) on YouTube demonstrates a version of Chocolate Doom where opponent characters can be cut, copied, and pasted at will to add a bit more fun to the game.

That haul makes it "the year's second-largest opening day so far and a win for Marvel and Disney about a year after they announced a reduction in film and TV show quantity to focus on quality." The roughly $57 million "Fantastic Four: First Steps" generated at the domestic box office Friday fell narrowly short of the opening day for "A Minecraft Movie" ($57.11 million) and just topped opening day for DC Comics rival "Superman" ($56.1 million), according to Variety. The film has netted about $106 million globally after securing $49.2 million overseas, setting itself up for an opening weekend of around $125 million, the same figure achieved by "Superman" earlier this month. Fantastic Four: First Steps is receiving praise from critics and fans alike, boasting an 88% on Rotten Tomatoes and a 7.6/10 on IMDb... With its opening weekend alone, "Fantastic Four: First Steps" out-earned the entire domestic run of "Fantastic Four" (2015), an adaptation of the heroes that flopped hard at the domestic box office ($56.1 million) and received poor ratings... Marvel's next movie is slated to release almost a full year from now, with Spider-Man: Brand New Day hitting theaters next summer before Avengers: Doomsday in December.
