I pretty sure I've seen every Balabanov movie except for 1 or 2, so I known it's not his worst.

Replying to @AveTory

It's true. But I like that openly admits that it was a commercial project. He calls it his "genre" film, I guess he means a comedy.

Oh, it's absolutely Richie inspired, down to ripping off Snatch in parts. :) That's why I think it's funny that he openly admits it

Well, Brat was made honestly. For no money. A real film depicting the period. After that he got famous & that ruined everything.

Replying to @AveTory

I totally understand. Again, I think it's part of Balabanov's style to be overly glum & exploitative. But when it works, it works

@AveTory Holy shit! I completely forgot that in the end they are government people in 2005! And you were saying. :)

But it's fucking hilarious! "Where's the country going, if people like you drive with sirens?" & "Life is hard nowadays". XD
 Sat Sep 29 02:04:00 +0000 2012


@AveTory I was exposed to early Balabanov's films a lot because he was friends with Butusov & my mom's friends were into Russian rock.
 Sat Sep 29 02:06:34 +0000 2012


@AveTory His shorts were pretty cool. I remember "Yegor & Nastya" pretty well or his Kafka movie. I like his visual choices a lot.
 Sat Sep 29 02:07:32 +0000 2012


@AveTory It's a shame that when I became old enough to really appreciate his work, his output really started going downhill.
 Sat Sep 29 02:08:22 +0000 2012


Replying to @AveTory

Oh absolutely. Long takes. Let's the actors play. And he imposes same old restrictions in his modern films. Kind of ironic.

Replying to @AveTory

is it the one that he just made? Because I just saw the one from last year and it was BAD.
 Sat Sep 29 02:28:53 +0000 2012


Replying to @AveTory

I think it just played at festivals or something. Last year's Kochegar was awful though. Freight 200 had more redeeming value.
 Sat Sep 29 02:38:38 +0000 2012


@AveTory And that's another thing. I sort of guess Freight 200 was supposed to be the 1st post-Perestroika exploitation, but it fails so bad
 Sat Sep 29 02:40:08 +0000 2012


@AveTory The "road movie" idea sounds interesting. Haven't read about it yet. But then again, I don't like his all out artsy flicks either.
 Sat Sep 29 02:41:48 +0000 2012


@AveTory What do you think of "The Castle" or "Of Freaks and Men"? I don't think we ever talked about it?

This week @richardcobbett rips into one of my favorite Russian games - GAG: The Impotent Mystery http://www.pcgamer.com/2012/09/29/saturday-crapshoot-gag/
 Sat Sep 29 10:32:25 +0000 2012


Replying to @richardcobbett

There's no actual graphical differences between the English version & the Russian version. No extra nudity in the original.
 Sat Sep 29 10:33:57 +0000 2012


@richardcobbett What did exist is an "add-on" called "Gary's Vacation" where you just walk around the apartment looking at nudie clips. #GAG
 Sat Sep 29 10:35:32 +0000 2012


@richardcobbett I love GAG. I think it's so incredibly zany it becomes hilarious. Can't believe you didn't mention the gator flight minigame

Good morning people! Any Elite fans in the house? Who wants to talk about the pc releases & sequels? #MorningDOSTalk
 Sat Sep 29 12:14:11 +0000 2012


Which one have you played first and which one is you favorite? Elite? Elite Plus? Frontier? First Encounters? #MorningDOSTalk
 Sat Sep 29 12:15:24 +0000 2012


Today #DosGameScreenADay features me attempting to dock in space in Elite Plus. https://x.com/dosnostalgic/status/252020725710471168/photo/1
 Sat Sep 29 12:23:18 +0000 2012


I've actually played a bunch of Elite on my ZX Spectrum knock off when I was a kid. I loved it, but I was terrible at it.
 Sat Sep 29 12:24:25 +0000 2012


The original DOS release just looked ugly to me. Nothing against CGA, but it just didn't fit. Elite Plus was awesome though.
 Sat Sep 29 12:25:21 +0000 2012


I got back into Elite when Russia finally got some Internet going. Only then I found out that there were sequels, so I played both.
 Sat Sep 29 12:26:38 +0000 2012


I usually really like early open world 3D games, but there wasn't much to do in Frontier most of the time. A game for space enthusiasts.
 Sat Sep 29 12:27:48 +0000 2012


Don't remember much of First Encounters, but it felt just like an upgraded Frontier, so I never really invested much time in it.
 Sat Sep 29 12:29:06 +0000 2012


So tell me your Elite stories! And if you ever actually got to the Elite rank honestly, know that you're my personal hero. #MorningDOSTalk

Conversion experts, here's a question: Is the MS-DOS version of Golden Axe identical to the Genesis one?

Just bumped into a teenage girl who I knew from work a year ago. That's how long it took to turn from a beauty queen into a junkie. Sad.

And if you can tell me what game the screen in the last tweet comes from, you can add another point to your geek-o-meeter.
 Sun Sep 30 20:53:02 +0000 2012


AND if you can also tell me what gaming franchise that game was incorporated into, you need to go and seek professional help immediately.
