James Gunn is one of his best. Watch "Super". A superb cross-genre picture. (Not horror though.)

 Wed Aug 01 04:01:52 +0000 2012

Why? James Gunn wrote Tromeo & Juliet and is in like 5 Troma flicks. Hardly a surprise.

 Wed Aug 01 13:37:36 +0000 2012

@AveTory Plus, you don't have to be a Troma alumni to have Kaufman in your flick. Just look at Neveldine/Taylor's Crank 2 or Gamer.

 Wed Aug 01 13:38:43 +0000 2012

@AveTory Lloyd does a lot of cameos in independent movies. He was even a French flick with Dominique Pinon once.

 Wed Aug 01 13:39:34 +0000 2012

It wasn't. Troma just distributes it. South Park was originally Tromaville though.

 Wed Aug 01 13:44:17 +0000 2012

If you're a starving young actor/editor/whatever and live in NY, you pretty much have nowhere else to go.

@AveTory Every time they are casting for something I contemplate going to an audition. Might happen one day...

 Wed Aug 01 13:48:14 +0000 2012

They have casting for months, to make sure you're ready for the grueling process they're going to put you through.

 Wed Aug 01 13:54:16 +0000 2012

Gunn is an American. Could be of an Irish descent, but I don't really know. A really cool, honest & funny dude.

 Wed Aug 01 13:55:19 +0000 2012

What is your issue with Troma? Some of their flicks are a lot of fun.

And now it's time to relax, have a cocktail and re-watch The King of Kong. (Only seen it once four years ago and loved it.)

 Thu Aug 02 20:22:32 +0000 2012

What I loved is Walter Day's letters that were published in Retro Gamer saying the doc shows Mitchell is a wrong light :D

 Thu Aug 02 20:33:56 +0000 2012

Just like in the doc, Twin Galaxies and the co. are always on sand-by to kiss Mitchell's ass.

It works well for the Slender Man obsessed teens. :)

 Thu Aug 02 21:48:32 +0000 2012

The King of Kong is how one should make a documentary. One of the most entertaining docs in recent years.

If you've never seen it please correct this mistake as soon as possible. #thekingofkong

It has its moments, but it's too easy to figure out how to "trick" it in my opinion.

I think I'm gonna make it a documentary night. Hmmm. "Best Worst Movie" or "Hearts of Darkness"? Or maybe the 1 that got an Oscar last year?

And yes, I want to hear what Carmack has to say, I just don't want to listen to it live.

 Thu Aug 02 21:55:37 +0000 2012

Besides an 86% score & an Editor's Choice, ur review was also selling it as a return of classic adventure. It's not.

 Fri Aug 03 01:56:20 +0000 2012

The review made me wait for the US release patiently (didn't happen for a while) & go to a store & actually buy it.

 Fri Aug 03 01:57:32 +0000 2012

I will forever hold it against you since I almost never buy new releases. :)

Good morning internet! Who wants to talk about mods, total conversions and the like? What are you favorites? (for dos games) #MorningDosTalk

 Fri Aug 03 13:08:37 +0000 2012

One of my personal favorites has always been Platoon for Duke 3D. It was turned into a pretty awesome stand alone game NAM too.

 Fri Aug 03 13:17:10 +0000 2012

I'm with you. Despite all of its shortcomings, NAM is a very fun game. Great multiplayer too. I love it.

 Fri Aug 03 14:58:29 +0000 2012

The whole Chick-Fil-A ordeal proves once again that American is a country full of hateful people who'll die before they let others be happy.

It is. Unfortunately it's also true.

 Fri Aug 03 19:31:31 +0000 2012

Chic-Fil-A gets record numbers from supporters of traditional marriage. I wish more pressing issues had this much support.

 Fri Aug 03 19:42:45 +0000 2012

Yes it is. That's why I made my original statement and I stand by it. America is full of hate. I'm not really sure why.

Oh well. I tried.

 Sat Aug 04 01:03:45 +0000 2012

Again, not gonna get into it. I really like it. Seen it three times now. Gets better every time. It entertains me a lot.

 Sat Aug 04 01:12:46 +0000 2012

I actually like the look. And the soundtrack. And the accent. And the ridiculous monsters. It's a lot of fun for me.

 Sat Aug 04 01:14:15 +0000 2012

Lol. Feast. That guy just did a Piranha sequel & it BLEW.

 Sat Aug 04 01:21:40 +0000 2012

Actually out of all recent studio-produced trash throwbacks I liked Piranha 3D the most. It's unfortunate that the sequel was shit.

 Sat Aug 04 01:28:45 +0000 2012

I'm not sure about Aja. Everything he does is just "ok" for me. But Piranha 3D was very entertaining. In 3d on a big screen.

 Sat Aug 04 01:35:12 +0000 2012

It was an honest throwback that wasn't too self aware like, let's say Machete. 3D tits, great practical effect, lots of stupid shit

 Sat Aug 04 01:36:07 +0000 2012

I know. I was just pointing out that Aja did well in the unusually silly setting. I've seen all Aja flicks. They don't do it 4 me.

 Sat Aug 04 01:41:18 +0000 2012

At least you've saved yourself from the atrocity that is Halloween 2. Boy was that movie bad. Just plain horrible. Ughh.

 Sat Aug 04 01:48:12 +0000 2012

I actually liked The Devil's Rejects quite a lot.

 Sat Aug 04 01:52:36 +0000 2012

It was well made though. Especially comparing to A House of 1000 Corpses. Bill Mosley is great.

 Sat Aug 04 01:58:10 +0000 2012

Also having seen most of Zombie's music videos I can admire the man's passion of classic horror & cult films.

 Sat Aug 04 01:59:05 +0000 2012

However, a good director he is not, but honestly he is improving. Both in visuals & learning how to restrain himself.

 Sat Aug 04 01:59:55 +0000 2012

Well, I guess it also played a lot better if you've seen the first movie. All of the improvements were obvious.

 Sat Aug 04 02:06:27 +0000 2012

Ahahahaha. "Living Dead Girl". Great video too. The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari!

 Sat Aug 04 02:07:36 +0000 2012

That was good too. Ronnie Yu did a great job on both Bride and Freddy vs. Jason as far as I'm concerned.

 Sat Aug 04 02:14:06 +0000 2012

Well, his American career is not that great. Kind of the same story with John Woo.

 Sat Aug 04 02:19:00 +0000 2012

Both of their non-Hollywood output is far superior to anything they did in the US. So that's a good thing.

 Sat Aug 04 02:26:00 +0000 2012

Face Off is great, but Hard Boiled, The Killer & A Better Tomorrow 1 & 2 are better. Woo made some spectacular action flicks.

 Sat Aug 04 02:34:51 +0000 2012

Don't remember that in the others, but Hard Boiled has a single shot action sequence. http://youtu.be/3bozxgVQ9m0

Yes, the trailer plays on the nostalgia with it's logos and music, but the rest just doesn't look too exciting.

 Sat Aug 04 17:02:36 +0000 2012

I put a lot of hours into ROTT back in the day, and I mean A LOT. But can you play it for more than an hour now? I doubt it.

 Sat Aug 04 17:03:39 +0000 2012

It's a horribly unbalanced game that really gets to you after a while. Yes, it has a lot of cool shit, but nothing feels like it belongs.

 Sat Aug 04 17:04:34 +0000 2012

It just feels like a bunch of cool stuff was thought of and then thrown in to make a game, but the elements never come together.

 Sat Aug 04 17:05:27 +0000 2012

Cool stuff is the game's biggest feature AND also its biggest drawback. And, of course, boring and repetitive gameplay.

 Sat Aug 04 17:07:21 +0000 2012

Yeah, dogmode is cool. So what? #ROTT

 Sat Aug 04 17:07:55 +0000 2012

I'm not gonna debate. Engine is not an issue. It's a fun game, but playing it now is like playing Wolf3D - just for nostalgia.

 Sat Aug 04 19:19:02 +0000 2012

And I love Wolf3D. Just recently blasted through 3 episodes on I'm Death Incarnate. Eventually it becomes too repetitive.

 Sat Aug 04 19:21:21 +0000 2012

My biggest issue with ROTT is the absence of balance. Weapons, enemies & traps are often there just for the fuck of it.

 Sat Aug 04 19:22:23 +0000 2012

I like the Notebook as well.

 Sat Aug 04 19:23:11 +0000 2012

But hey, who knows, maybe the new ROTT will be fun! We just have to wait and see. There is hope (and potential.)

I just hope it's not going to be another abysmal piece of shit like Duke Nukem Forever.

Quake 2? ZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz....

 Mon Aug 06 21:06:32 +0000 2012

I loved Q3 because it felt more streamlined. Every weapon is useful, super fast player speed, visual design that was helpful, etc.

 Mon Aug 06 21:09:09 +0000 2012

UT offered more of everything & better bots if u were playing offline, but Q3 had everything where it was supposed to b & nothing mor

 Mon Aug 06 21:10:57 +0000 2012

So? It was also used in Daikatana. I won't forgive a game just for having a decent legacy. Kingpin was cool as well.

Good morning everyone! I would like to talk about ports. BUT, the pc to console ports. Especially the weird ones.

 Tue Aug 07 13:19:08 +0000 2012

Like King's Quest 5. Let's take this beautiful 256 color vga adventure game & port it to the NES! An obvious choice...

 Tue Aug 07 13:20:16 +0000 2012

Speaking of other adventure games on the NES, Maniac Mansion was really good. NES Deja Vu is probably my favorite version.

 Tue Aug 07 13:21:13 +0000 2012

But then there's that weird Japanese release of Maniac Mansion. A total WTF. #nesadventuregames

 Tue Aug 07 13:21:56 +0000 2012

N64 port of Duke3D. Pretty bad.

 Tue Aug 07 13:22:30 +0000 2012

Brazilian Genesis game that claimed to be Duke3D is pretty atrocious as well.

 Tue Aug 07 13:23:02 +0000 2012

DOOM 64 is pretty cool, although I don't really consider it a "port".

 Tue Aug 07 13:24:20 +0000 2012

Of course. It's cool. Not too fond of the levels, but I like the style, music, colored lighting and all that.

 Tue Aug 07 13:43:59 +0000 2012

Me too, but in D64 colored lighting is a big part of the original.

 Tue Aug 07 14:01:30 +0000 2012

Another World ports are a whole different story with each version somehow different for all others.

 Tue Aug 07 14:04:10 +0000 2012

3DO version of Another World started off strong until the hand drawn backgrounds started dramatically slipping in quality.

 Tue Aug 07 14:05:05 +0000 2012

Doom ports are also abundant, but they are mostly shit.

 Tue Aug 07 14:05:35 +0000 2012

Check out "Rare Imports". It's a Finnish horror movie about a Santa Claus monster. It's a comedy, but they play it straight.

 Tue Aug 07 14:21:06 +0000 2012

@AveTory Actually it's "Rare Exports". My bad.

 Tue Aug 07 14:42:36 +0000 2012

What adventure games were ported to PSOne? There were a few. Discworld 1 & 2, or was it just 2? Silverload (better than pc one), what else?

 Tue Aug 07 14:47:22 +0000 2012

I don't give two shits about it.

 Tue Aug 07 14:57:50 +0000 2012

Forgot about Max Payne on the GBA! That game was awesome! Easy as hell, but it pulled off quite a few things. All voices in cutscenes intact

 Tue Aug 07 15:01:11 +0000 2012

Of course it's not really a "port" in my opinion, but I had to mention it. And also "Driver" on the GBC.

 Tue Aug 07 15:02:08 +0000 2012

Or Resident Evil one. Pretty good as well.

 Tue Aug 07 15:21:09 +0000 2012

It's not really a comedy until the last 10 minutes. Played very seriously including a few dramatic moments.

 Tue Aug 07 17:16:20 +0000 2012

Jace Hall's intentions regarding the Blood update are still a mystery to me. He says it will take resources to do it. Ok...

 Tue Aug 07 17:21:39 +0000 2012

So why not give the source to fans who usually have enough determination & dedication to do almost anything? People have been waiting.

 Tue Aug 07 17:22:33 +0000 2012

Did the abundance of quality source ports not prove anything? EDuke32 is great. Why not hand over the source to the same team?

 Tue Aug 07 17:24:01 +0000 2012

He wants to add something specific? Well, Ken Silverman contributed the first 6DOF renderer for Build & that was still open source.

 Tue Aug 07 17:25:17 +0000 2012

Why announce to the community that you're doing an update if nothing is yet ready & you're not planning on using the community anyway?

 Tue Aug 07 17:27:49 +0000 2012

All that being said, I'd really like to see a proper Blood port for Windows. Please make it happen.

The funny part is that I ran out and bought the expansion when it came out too. And I didn't even like the game!

 Thu Aug 09 23:51:48 +0000 2012

MadSpace is a cool game. Not a good one per say. It's interesting. Z.A.R. gets very repetitive, but the gfx are nice.

 Thu Aug 09 23:56:12 +0000 2012

The expansion was stand-alone. Also, Z.A.R. was mostly popular for its multiplayer. And voxels. I guess I cared for voxels once.

 Thu Aug 09 23:57:33 +0000 2012

It's a bit weird to see a Russian game of that age recognized outside of Russia. I guess somebody bought it. :)

 Fri Aug 10 00:00:00 +0000 2012

Come to think of it, all 3 games that Auric Vision released were pretty unique. All the same year too :) Except for the expansion..

Did you actually play the game? It's freaking hilarious. One of my favorites, actually.

 Fri Aug 10 00:07:45 +0000 2012

Oh yeah! That one had surprisingly steep system requirements for gfx. That's probably why I didn't know anyone who bought it.

We should do a combined playthrough of the English version.

 Fri Aug 10 00:15:11 +0000 2012

Well, I always wanted to check out how well the translation worked, since the game was obviously developed with export in mind.

 Fri Aug 10 00:19:32 +0000 2012

Nah, that time we played the Russian one. I have the English one, but I never really played it.

Now it's a new screen! And Dizzy going back down & goes off the screen. Dum dedum dedum... Very annoying.

But my best Dizzy memory is seeing the NES version on sale a week before my birthday. I bought it on my bd & played it with my neighbor...

Black Christmas is decent. Predates Halloween on pretty much everything.

 Fri Aug 10 20:53:35 +0000 2012

Yeah, but BC must as well be the first "standard" slasher. Established most of the "rules" & is now largely forgotten because of H.

 Fri Aug 10 21:08:04 +0000 2012

Yeah, haven't seen it cause I couldn't be bothered. Halloween looses out a lot today because it has everything that became a cliche

 Fri Aug 10 21:19:01 +0000 2012

It still has a great deal of suspense, great Panavision cinematography courtesy of Dean Cundey and, of course, Carpenter's staging.

 Fri Aug 10 21:20:01 +0000 2012

But I think if I was young and watching it now for the 1st time I wouldn't understand what's so great about it.

 Fri Aug 10 21:20:33 +0000 2012

Yeah, but I think it's because you know the background. A lot of it plays just waay too familiar.

 Fri Aug 10 21:25:26 +0000 2012

Don't get me wrong, I love it & I enjoy it a lot, but I'd say a 15 year old who has seen a ton of new slashers prob wouldn't get it

 Fri Aug 10 21:26:31 +0000 2012

Trust me though, a 15 year old will gets scared shitless from Exorcist. I've checked. Now that's a tense movie that's forever.

 Fri Aug 10 21:30:41 +0000 2012

Yeah, but they all saw H2 and were very disappointed. Then they bought the director's cut dvd & were disappointed even more.

I actually didn't mind Zombie's Halloween so much because I though all the extra stuff was kind of fun.

Coppola's Dracula is very creative and entertaining, but a lot of its elements annoy me. The recent "restoration" killed it too.

I'm not going to though. It's a famous game, so I have to be somewhat careful, but I don't think anyone actually likes it anyway.

 Tue Aug 14 16:27:40 +0000 2012

You just assume the game is Russian when I say "it's bad"? It's not. it's a commercially successful adventure game. And it sucks.

Yeah, that's in the future. Indeed I'm still stuck with FMV. Then a few games with no common theme. Then Russian games.

Well, the idea was to be dark, violent and in 3D. Sort of like a puzzle platformer. Pushing people into meat grinders and etc.

There was also that truck game that I don't remember the name of. I was never into driving games, so I didn't care for it.

The only reason I even remember of its existence is because DosBox didn't support it until recently. People always used to bring it up.

I fucking adore early Dune, with Katin. And a couple of albums after he left were pretty good too, although more on the funny side

 Fri Aug 31 22:27:34 +0000 2012

Фирма, Блонда and Восток-Алтай. Awesome songs. Well and Страна Лимония of course, but that goes without saying.

 Fri Aug 31 22:28:44 +0000 2012

I knew every single Dune song by heart in 93. And I mean every single one. Фирма is one of my favorites to this day.

 Fri Aug 31 22:33:58 +0000 2012

That's so weird. I didn't think that at all. All my friends loved it too though. Music videos definitely helped.

Eventually ended up recording an album for kids though. That sucked. Early stuff by Katin is still the best. Гороскоп :D
