okay so i was thinking about post-game fo4, especially nukaworld because i know for a fact after completing the gauntlet and getting the fuck out of dodge Sawyer wouldn't want to touch all that with a twenty foot pole.
My cowriter and I said he'd probably pawn it off to his more chaotic husband, Baron but honestly knowing Baron I think Sawyer would hold back on that because nuka world is Special so I was trying to think of who he would maybe put in as the overboss in place of him and
hear me out but i really want to read a fanfic about Ronnie Shaw taking over Nukaworld and having to work with Gage. i just think it would be funny
March 18th 1992 saw Pat Clinton become the sixth Scot to hold a world boxing title when he took the WBO flyweight Belt.
In an emotional evening in Glasgow's Kelvin Hall, Pat Clinton, made Dad Billy Clinton's dream come true for 12 months between when Pat outpointed defending WBO champion Isadore Perez from Mexico over 12 torrid rounds.
This famous ring victory prompted Clinton's manager and promoter, Tommy Gilmour, when asked post-fight if he would grant beaten Perez a rematch into the unforgettable reply: "No. The Mexicans didn't grant a rematch at the Alamo!"
Pat was born on April 4th 1964 at Croy, to Billy and Sadie.
Boxing was in his blood, his dad won the Scottish pro flyweight title in Perth in 1940, his uncle Jim fought and won two British A.B.A. boxing titles in 1944 and 1947.
Pat had aspirations to be a jockey but a fatal heart attack, which killed his dad Billy, in 1980, made Pat determined, instead, to realise his late dad's boxing dream of becoming a bona fide world boxing champion. In a 1990s interview Pat he said
"I owe my father Billy Clinton everything regarding boxing. He taught me everything - how to move, how to counterpunch, not to mix matters in the ring unless desperate, how to box for all my openings."
Pat was a member of Croy Miners Amateur Boxing Club. Clinton represented Britain as a Flyweight at the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, losing only to the eventual silver medallist. Clinton turned professional in 1985 and won his first 11 fights.
In February 1989, Clinton faced Eyüp Can for the vacant European title, losing a unanimous decision. He made successful defences of his British title against Danny Porter and David Afan Jones before getting a second shot at the European title in August 1990; Clinton took a majority decision against Salvatore Fanni in Cagliari to take the vacant European title.
And so to the Kelvin Hall on 18th March 1992, Pat recalls that he had little memory of the build up and entrance to the ring, saying
"When I was walking to the ring there was an incredible atmosphere and it hit me like a sucker punch, I don't remember Ronnie Browne of the Corries singing Flower of Scotland or the fight even starting. In fact, it felt like I was going through the motions to begin with. “ he added "It was only when he landed with a jab that I thought to myself, 'My God this has started, I better get my finger out.'
It wasn't easy that emotion-filled night in the Kelvin Hall. Bringing dreams to fruition never is. After the halfway stage, veteran of 57 bouts Perez forced Pat, who had suffered the old Jackie Paterson curse of weightmaking problems, to fight out of his skin. Helped by a picture of his dad Billy Clinton, which was shown between rounds in his ring corner, Pat battled to a points win after 12 rounds.
It was a world title victory that provoked such emotional scenes of post-fight joy that even today promoter and manager Tommy Gilmour claims that this Clinton world flyweight win is still his most cherished boxing memory.
Still, weight problems continued to dog Pat as they had dogged other Scottish flyweight greats. As a result, Pat looked very unimpressive in beating Englishman Danny Porter in a WBO title defence at Glasgow's SECC Arena on points over 12 rounds in September 1992 - a poor performance stressed by the fact that Clinton had already previously stopped Porter inside five rounds at Watford in a British title defence in October 1989.
Eight months later and Pat, still plagued by weight and hand injury problems, lost his title to South African Jake Matlala, with Pat being stopped in Glasgow inside eight rounds.
An ill-fated comeback at bantamweight eventually petered out but today Pat Clinton can look back with pride on a career that saw him win World, British, European and Scottish flyweight crowns as well as being the first Scot to win a European flyweight title in Italy…as well as fulfilling his father Billy's dream.
In his thirties, as a result of perforated eardrums suffered during his boxing career, Clinton suffered tinnitus and started to lose his hearing, and had to start wearing a hearing aid at the age of 33. He returned to his trade as a joiner before going on to work as a salesman for Scottish Gas.

The Profound Relevance of Pre-Cinematic Technologies (Ronnie Dinnel)

The Profound Relevance of Pre-Cinematic Technologies
Film has gone through over a century of technological transformations from individual moving pictures to 8K digital cinema cameras. The Lumieres, Melies, Edison, Dickinson, Porter, and Hepworth all played an important part in revolutionizing film technology into what it is today. Looking back at their work might seem underwhelming in this modern age, but it is important to acknowledge their contributions to understand how they changed cinema for the better. Edison’s invention and development of the kinetoscope contributed to the birth of projection technologies which are still used in movie theaters and homes around the world. The late 19th century and early 20th century was a golden age for early cinema, and the creative and inventive minds behind the technology of that era are key to modern-day filmmaking.
Thomas Edison and the Lumiere brothers both innovated filmmaking technology in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Edison’s kinetoscope was created with the intention of entertaining audiences visually in a similar way his phonograph provided audio entertainment for the world. He did this using a series of photographs placed on a single strip of film that was placed onto a motorized mechanism that moved the images at a specific speed (most likely 24-30fps which is what is still used today to replicate natural motion). A light source was necessary to illuminate the film strip and project the moving images onto a larger screen for larger audiences, while a peephole was used for individual viewing. As my peer Jack Muscatello wrote in his discussion this week on Von Erkki Huhtamo’s reading, the screen “can be tentatively defined as an ‘information surface’. This is deliberately vague. Although screens are two-dimensional surfaces, they often give us an impression of a three-dimensional reality somehow accessible through the screen” (Huhtamo, 34). This idea that a 2D screen can immerse us so heavily that it makes everything on it feel and appear real is profound, and I can easily relate to it nowadays with screens being capable of over 4K resolution. It must have been revolutionary when Edison created the kinetoscope due to it never being seen before.
Georges Méliès was a French illusionist and director who pioneered special effects as they are today. His most famous piece of work, A Trip to the Moon (1902), has some of the first examples of special effects ever seen on film. Many times, when looking back on films this old, the special effects and visuals do not hold up to today’s standards. While A Trip to the Moon is no Avatar (2008) in terms of immersion in special effects, the effects still remain convincing and immersive to this day. An unnamed peer wrote in their discussion post this week, “the most “spectacular” public performances of the period addressed not just the eye but the ear with sound, speech, and music, creating immersive, fully embodied, and shared experiences. These were audiovisual phantasmagoria, performances meant to generate thrills and perceptual disorientations by overwhelming a combination of the senses” (Spence 2). Georges Méliès was able to achieve just that. When people went to see A Trip to the Moon in 1902, they had no idea what they were looking at or whether it was even real or not. I believe this is where the “magic” of filmmaking comes from. When the audience is so disoriented and overwhelmed by a combination of senses, they have no choice but to be immersed in whatever is playing on screen. Thanks to Georges Méliès, special effects and visual effects are what immerse us in worlds outside of ours and allow us to escape our own reality for a moment.
In a scene from It (2017), the kids use a film projector to map out the sewers in their town in order to find Pennywise. In a visually extraordinary and horrifying scene, the projector begins turning on its own, flashing photos quicker and quicker until Pennywise can be seen repeatedly on the slides. The slides begin moving so fast that the images turn into a kinetoscope of sort since the images are rapidly moving at the framerate of video. Thanks to Edison’s invention, the writers and directors of this films were able to create an iconic horror scene, which funnily enough was most likely projected in movie theaters also using Edison’s technology to display the film itself.
