Squiggly_P wrote:They showed off a teaser for FF7 a little while ago and the internet has collectively creamed in their pants at the prospect of playing a 20 year old game that looks pretty. But it's the most cynical, bullshit thing I can think of a game company doing. It will either be completely the same (but probably stripped down to the essential game mechanics without all the extra flavor bullshit, because can you imagine how much it would cost to actually make the ENTIRE game world of FF7 playable?), or it will be a different game with FF7 characters and plot tacked on in order to sell it. Either way, it's a shitty, cynical idea, and the reactions it's getting is just proof to me that no one who plays games anymore actually gives a shit about games. They just want to sit down and be happy about fun things for a couple of hours.
I love the idea of people taking old games you can't play on modern hardware, and making them available. I'd kill for a new version of Grandia (one that didn't crash like the Playstation version did), or Wizardry. While they've been porting all the other Final Fantasy games to iOS, FF7 has been held back. People just want to play it.

Amazon is now going to bankroll one of the most cursed movies ever, Terry Gilliam's Don Quixote. How many will die/go bankrupt in this endeavor?

So the animated segments are integrated well?
The final chapter of my latest book is being edited. I'm eager to see if readers love it or hate it. Either one will be interesting On Wednesday I'm taking my 11 year old niece to her first rock concert. We're seeing RUSH. I gave her a live album so she can "study", as she'd only heard one of their albums before, and apparently she's now super excited. Can't wait to see her do the first pump during 2112.
I didn't see Star Wars for months after it came out, catching it at a drive-in with my parents (paired with a movie that apparently didn't come out until '78). Ah, the joys of being a suburban kid with non-rich parents
I may force myself to watch those two movies. I just haven't wanted to do so while literally falling asleep from work.
The sad thing is, I just haven't been in the mood to go see an action movie. I'm going to end up watching this and Avengers on video.
Fun fact: if you search for Watchmen, this thread is the last thing that comes up.
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has seen the "Ultimate" version of the movie, the one that edits in the Tales of the Black Freighter. It's a choice between buying that for $25 on DVD, or the Uncut version on Blu Ray.
Not at all. I turned my monitor around and the picture looked fine.

You're looking at it backwards.
It was the first generation with home video, but I don't know if that had any effect. It did allow us to never have to give up our childhood. By comparison, my Father saw the Mickey Mouse Club when it first aired, but never saw an episode after it went off the air.
Include the first episode or two in the FIYH RSS feed. I'm sure most people haven't deleted it, and you'll start with an established audience.

He's been living this story so long I suspect, he knows every single inch of every edit by heart.
This is often a bad thing, naturally. A creator so in love with his creation he can no longer see the flaws. I usually get worried when I hear something has been a passion project for a decade. Luckily it worked this time. Usually we get something like the Barry Levinson movie TOYS, staring Robin Williams.
Once you introduce time travel, there's no reason to assume OUR timeline is the correct one.
Another idea. You are a time traveler who goes back to stop Stalin. Historically he built up the USSR's military and rolled over Europe with almost no opposition, with a disarmed Germany no obstacle. You decide the best option is to build up Germany, so the war doesn't even GET to your homeland France. You find a small, unimportant political party with a charismatic leader and provide them with some future hints and support. With a platform of making Germany a great nation again, this Hitler guy wins the election. You go home, the problem fixed.
So it didn't threaten your masculinity?
Just like with movies, different era's had different styles. Some hold up better than others. I haven't been able to get into older comics much myself, not coming in until the Alan Moore era. The Marvel comics just seem weird, the art drawn before the dialog is written, and DC titles that are writer oriented like Teen Titans fill half the panel with dialog. I like things a bit more subtle.

Buffalo '33 is a terrible prequel.
But the director doesn't hate his hometown
For some odd reason, they're filming scenes of the next Ninja Turtle movie here in Buffalo. The 33, also known as the Kensington, is being closed after 7PM for the next week so they can shoot. All I can figure out is they like the canyon effect. They built the stupid thing right through the center of existing neighborhoods, dropping it down twenty feet as if that would make it have less of an impact. So, there's lots of places where things can drop down on cars. Today the crew was putting up traffic signals. It's a limited access highway, so are they going to have CG intersections? Makes perfect sense.
Given my experience watching anime, my guess would be the subtitles are basically an English translation of the script provided by the studio, not a translation of what's actually said on screen. So, anything ad-libbed on the day won't be subtitled. A cheap way to release a foreign film.

Did they show the baby turtles at all?
I'd put on a pair of antennas and rub my hands together greedily.
I think PARANOIA is the only game suitable for this forum.
"The Computer is your friend!"
I do agree with those, however, who think the combat diminishes BioShock Infinite. You can't really reconcile what the story is trying to be and what you're actually doing. It tries to hang a lantern on it with your female companion getting pissed at you, but the next minute she's happily tossing you ammo.
