Yeah they were frustratingly bad systems. I was a huge bo3 fan and it made me really sad that I couldn't use any of the cool new guns because I had bad luck on the slot machines :(

IMO Advanced warfare was worse because it locked some guns behind the crates, and also locked a ton of "variants" behind crates that were objectively better than the base gun

Advanced warfare set the precedent. Black ops 3 made it slightly less of a slot machine, but it was still garbage.

Gecko is open source. They were saying it would be good to have a new FOSS browser engine that isn't Chromium or Gecko to add some competition to the mix

The EMP greatly impacted Godzilla's atomic breath. It's why it was so much weaker in the first movie compared to the sequels. Probably a retcon, but I think it fits.

It's a "free smiley". I think you can find an archive of them somewhere

Yeah I don't see why not. The story from 1/2 has almost no impact on the plot apart from a couple throwaway references

Season 1 and 2 are total garbage. I quite enjoyed season 3 but YMMV. Season 3 is definitely worth a watch to form your own opinion

They're saying not to wash out your mouth for 10 minutes after brushing. It's worded ambiguously.
