It's a pile of shit, mostly.

 Tue Jul 02 13:10:44 +0000 2013

I like certain things about it. Art isn't it though.

 Tue Jul 02 13:13:44 +0000 2013

Well, Oliver Somethinggerman is responsible for it & he explained that it was mostly done on the side without LEC hovering over it.

 Tue Jul 02 13:15:15 +0000 2013

Nothing, everything is worse, BUT the technical aspects of it are very interesting.

 Tue Jul 02 13:15:57 +0000 2013

I actually wanna do it in a video. Even though it has been around for years now. It buried my favorite interface gag even deeper

 Tue Jul 02 13:20:42 +0000 2013

Second one is an improvement. But it's missing the intro & iMUSE is broken! :(

 Tue Jul 02 13:25:06 +0000 2013

Well, considering that I can barely handle Monkey256, let alone MonkeyCD, it might get emotional.

 Tue Jul 02 13:27:59 +0000 2013

CD music is very nice, BUT it replaced the interface with the one from Monkey 2!

 Tue Jul 02 13:33:25 +0000 2013

Thank you. The first one is a bit chaotic. I barely let @AveTory speak at all.

 Tue Jul 02 13:37:01 +0000 2013

What does TT have to do with it? Plus it turns it into MonkeyCD, a version I also don't like

 Tue Jul 02 13:37:55 +0000 2013

Yep. So it killed the interface gag in the mansion. And melting cups.

 Tue Jul 02 13:40:18 +0000 2013

Remake buried those bits completely by not having the interface or inventory on screen at all.

 Tue Jul 02 13:43:28 +0000 2013

It replaced the interface with the one from Monkey 2, thus killing a couple of awesome jokes.

 Tue Jul 02 13:51:08 +0000 2013

The original Monkey has the most amazing use of EGA ever! I fucking adore it

You should have kept up with the doc.

 Wed Jul 03 00:23:00 +0000 2013

It's not gonna be released in halves. Half the game will be released first to get more potential customers in attempt to get money

 Wed Jul 03 00:24:10 +0000 2013

People who paid already will get the while thing. First half is like a demo to attract more people.

 Wed Jul 03 00:40:47 +0000 2013

Possibly. Obviously Tim doesn't want to compromise this time & scale down a game. However, he gives a very good reason in the doc

 Wed Jul 03 00:42:56 +0000 2013

Not mine. He'll lose my trust only if the game isn't good. Psychonauts took forever. And it was cut in half. Still good though.

It's fucking amazing. Keep in mind that it was all done for the same budget as Black Books.

 Fri Jul 05 13:49:46 +0000 2013

Yeah, I have all of them now. There was really no need for this, but I backed it for the sake of the franchise ressurection.

He ran the show on that. And it didn't turn out well, just like all his other games of the last decade.

 Tue Jul 09 13:37:34 +0000 2013

And The Baconing and the Penny Arcade games. The Cave also has that problem.

 Tue Jul 09 13:41:53 +0000 2013

So played a bit of the Shadow Warrior last night & mostly concentrated on the two expansions that I've never tried before.

 Tue Jul 09 13:59:02 +0000 2013

So far really enjoying Wanton Destruction, although the first enemy is now ridiculously annoying. To the point where I might mod it myself.

 Tue Jul 09 14:00:37 +0000 2013

I give Ron mad props for SCUMM & Humongous. It's all downhill from there.

 Tue Jul 09 14:02:49 +0000 2013

Twin Dragon is meh, at least the first couple of levels. Probably due to it being scrapped in the first place.

 Tue Jul 09 14:04:24 +0000 2013

Hulabee could have been Humongous 2 if... Well, if it wasn't for what happened...

 Tue Jul 09 14:06:43 +0000 2013

And he buried Cavedog because he bit off more than he could chew. Total Annihilation is great though.

How can you fabricate a 3 mil loan?

If you're being serious, I'm gonna slap you!

 Tue Jul 09 14:17:11 +0000 2013

Someone else wanna take that? I'm at work & I'm way too shocked by this to know where 2 start

 Tue Jul 09 14:21:23 +0000 2013

Why? They already made a game for Disney at that point.

 Tue Jul 09 14:23:34 +0000 2013

Schafer did one of them. I think Freddy Fish 3. Not credited on MobyGames.

 Tue Jul 09 14:26:35 +0000 2013

Pajama Sam & Freddy Fish games are awesome. Full of content & randomization 4 repeated plays

 Tue Jul 09 14:27:30 +0000 2013

Early Humongous titles such as Putt-Putt & Fatty Bear are for DOS, so there's an excuse

 Tue Jul 09 14:29:22 +0000 2013

Well, she bought a 1.5 mil $ house, that's why the whole thing started in the 1st place

 Tue Jul 09 14:31:41 +0000 2013

I could have told you that

 Tue Jul 09 14:40:09 +0000 2013

True, Humongous quickly adapted SCUMM for Windows

 Tue Jul 09 14:47:30 +0000 2013

I was taking about them a lot when TellTale released Bone & I was very critical of it

 Tue Jul 09 14:52:54 +0000 2013

People were like "but it's for kids!" & I was like "Humongous is how you make a kids game!"

 Tue Jul 09 14:56:17 +0000 2013

TellTale games are meh, my biggest problem with Bone was $14.99 for half hour of game!

 Tue Jul 09 15:06:31 +0000 2013

Ugghh. I actually bought that one boxed. And regretted it.

Oh shit. I feel some of geometry coming back to me.

But that's why I don't fuck with 3D. I can barely handle math in 2D to begin with.

 Tue Jul 09 17:15:13 +0000 2013

It is indeed. That's what I needed. I'm a bit overwhelmed with responses. I'm also surprised no one bitched me out.

Of course, I live in America where a lot of people can't do math or spell in the first place, so I really shouldn't be embarrassed.

Blood is here to stay, but there's no reason that another game can't take the concepts & do it again. I'd welcome it.

No. It's better to pretend that it doesn't exist

Yeah, but come on, it's video games. There are plenty of good sequel.

 Tue Jul 09 19:42:42 +0000 2013

We really haven't seen many of those resurrections just yet, it's a new thing. Everything is possible.

Like I think it's possible to kickstart an fps that would be classical in style with no need for mass appeal. Keep it simple.

 Tue Jul 09 19:59:16 +0000 2013

Freeware games like WGREALMS2 prove that games like that are still fun to play. Put some $$$ into it and BAM - winner!

Studio movies are shit, studio-backed studio movies are mostly shit too. Most real indie flicks can't find distribution anymore. Sad time.

Ronny Yu did a great job on both (three?) horror franchises he worked on, despite not liking horror as a genre :)

 Tue Jul 09 21:41:15 +0000 2013

It's a shame that Mancini is burying his own franchise. Also a rarity that the creator stayed involved with the franchise 4 so long

 Tue Jul 09 21:42:54 +0000 2013

Actually if you watch Never Sleep Again doc he says he didn't. Jeff Katz was his personal "consultant" of sorts on FvsJ

 Tue Jul 09 21:51:42 +0000 2013

Katz was a fan since he was a kid & regularly wrote to New Line. Rachel Talalay still has pictures he drew as a kid.

 Tue Jul 09 22:02:43 +0000 2013

He was eventually hired by New Line and got to work on developing the FvsJ project that's been going on for forever.

 Tue Jul 09 22:03:42 +0000 2013

During the production he was Yu's "consultant" because he was the fan of both franchises and also a producer on the film.

 Tue Jul 09 22:04:23 +0000 2013

Talalay worked on every Freddy movie but one! 80

six IS the best. It doesn't take itself seriously and has the most awesome opening scene & titles.

That's Dutch movies by Paul Verhoeven, none of which I've seen before. Most are starring Rutger Hauer, which is a nice bonus.

 Thu Jul 11 22:02:28 +0000 2013

Fucking awesome movie. Has it finally been properly restored? The "restored" Soviet version cut out a lot from what I understand.

Verhoeven's The Fourth Man is actually a very cool flick. It's interesting how overt symbolism of the plot hides symbolism of the theme.

 Fri Jul 12 00:25:10 +0000 2013

I'm pretty sure this is the first Dutch movie I've seen.

 Fri Jul 12 00:25:43 +0000 2013

Verhoeven has great style. His movies are extremely easy to digest, yet somehow always have multiple layers you keep discovering.

 Fri Jul 12 00:28:53 +0000 2013

Duh! It's about propaganda. AND it's shot like a propaganda movie which makes it hilarious. It's a joke and a serious theme.

 Fri Jul 12 00:31:56 +0000 2013

I haven't read any research, but I think it's really clever. AND it's big budget popcorn flick too! The best of both worlds!

I personally think Robocop is one of the best movies to ever come out of Hollywood. I love Basic Instinct to death too.

yep

 Sat Jul 13 20:04:54 +0000 2013

I'll take 50%!

Are you sure it actually wasn't one of the Humongous Entertainment games?

 Sun Jul 14 11:20:03 +0000 2013

Pacific Rim was great! Del Toro basically made Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla X 5! Summer spectacle makers (Snyder, Bay) need to learn from him

There are much worse Christian games out there.

So what about me liking him now?

 Sun Jul 14 13:40:23 +0000 2013

Who knows. It used that TruVision engine or one of the cheap 3D ones at the time. Maybe Genesis3D. Certainly didn't help.

 Sun Jul 14 13:40:58 +0000 2013

I actually know people who were excited to see it. I no longer talk to them. I'm serious.

 Sun Jul 14 13:43:01 +0000 2013

I'm not surprised people go see this movie. I'm surprised they come out & go "WELL, THAT WAS GREAT!" D:<

I'm surprised how much useless shit I remember, to be honest...

 Sun Jul 14 13:44:46 +0000 2013

Zoo Race is hands down the most fun Christian-themed game. Not counting Super Noah's Ark 3D of course.

 Sun Jul 14 17:52:04 +0000 2013

That didn't happen to me, but as far as Hollywood summer action flicks go, it was one of the best in recent years.

 Sun Jul 14 18:08:04 +0000 2013

Indeed. And then some wonder why the movies have gotten so shitty over the last decade.

 Sun Jul 14 18:11:00 +0000 2013

Watched GTA5 trailer. The graphics are amazing. That's about it. I really have no interest in it beyond that.

 Sun Jul 14 18:14:50 +0000 2013

How much would something like that cost though?

 Sun Jul 14 18:15:27 +0000 2013

I really haven't cared for GTA since Vice City. 4 took it in the wrong direction by not rewarding you for just fucking around.

 Sun Jul 14 18:26:42 +0000 2013

Well, games now cost more than $100 mil, so they are heading in the same direction as movies, an industry games tried 2 imitate for years.

 Sun Jul 14 18:27:57 +0000 2013

Basically next gen consoles will only bring bland games that you have already played a million times. Just like all the movies are shit now.

 Sun Jul 14 18:29:30 +0000 2013

Indie distributing platforms will only feature to choices & publisher-backed projects, just like movies. Big indie releases aren't indie.

 Sun Jul 14 18:30:50 +0000 2013

It's budgeted at $137 mil currently

Indeed. Arguably the best indie game. And it was independent in every sense of the word.

 Sun Jul 14 18:34:54 +0000 2013

Yes and yes

 Sun Jul 14 18:36:37 +0000 2013

I played Proteus today for the first time. More like that, please. No commercial appeal, original idea, focus on a player's experience.

 Sun Jul 14 18:38:09 +0000 2013

Liked Amnesia for the most part.

 Sun Jul 14 18:38:46 +0000 2013

RT @domcom360: @dosnostalgic I want the "American History X" of video games.

 Sun Jul 14 18:55:25 +0000 2013

I payed $17.50 to see Pacific Rim, a film that was described by the studio as "risky". A movie about giant things hitting each other.

 Sun Jul 14 19:01:02 +0000 2013

I was entertained by Pacific Rim, but two weeks ago I payed $17.50 to see Man of Steel. It wasn't worth it.

 Sun Jul 14 19:04:25 +0000 2013

New Thief... It's half Dishonored, half Uncharted... Get the fuck out!

 Sun Jul 14 19:08:00 +0000 2013

I can BARELY justify paying almost 18 bucks for a movie that's entertaining, but I can't justify $40-$50 for a game I probably won't finish.

 Sun Jul 14 19:20:42 +0000 2013

Why am I saying all this? I don't know! Because that damn GTA trailer pissed me off! Because I'm paying 4 way too many shitty movies lately.

 Sun Jul 14 19:22:25 +0000 2013

Do yourselves a favor people: Try to remember the era when game companies still cared for innovation & experience and play some DOS games.

Fuck, now I need some Tacos. #emergency

 Sun Jul 14 19:37:04 +0000 2013

On the more positive side - got enough spare cash to buy a Criterion blu of The Game. No more of that awful non-anamorphic single layer dvd.

I remember playing Leisure Suit Larry 6 & staying up till 2 am to finish it. I don't think something like that would ever happen again.

 Sun Jul 14 21:41:17 +0000 2013

I played through Hotline Miami in almost one sitting. That was fun.

 Sun Jul 14 21:42:18 +0000 2013

I think I finished first Portal in one sitting as well. And Half-Life two before that. But I don't think I've ever stayed up past 12.

 Sun Jul 14 21:45:14 +0000 2013

I'll forever remember that day because I played through the whole thing & then it crashed on the final screen. DOS4GW...

 Sun Jul 14 21:46:39 +0000 2013

Are you informing me of that?

 Sun Jul 14 21:47:06 +0000 2013

My machine is completely unfit to play anything that came out in the last 5 years, yet Portal still runs.

 Sun Jul 14 22:00:04 +0000 2013

 Sun Jul 14 22:34:18 +0000 2013

Jack Of All Trades is a great show. It's extremely corny and full of innuendo & slapstick. Also it was made specifically for Bruce Campbell.

 Sun Jul 14 22:48:31 +0000 2013

Hated by everyone when it was on, the show was canceled half way through the second season. Now it's pretty much forgotten.

 Sun Jul 14 22:49:23 +0000 2013

That one is not that great :)

 Sun Jul 14 22:50:24 +0000 2013

 Mon Jul 15 14:39:06 +0000 2013

I know the 1999 Canadian release has finally surfaced a couple of years ago, but I refuse to believe that it didn't come out anywhere else.

 Mon Jul 15 14:40:30 +0000 2013

The reason for it being that Russian company Doka released an adapted version of it as "On The Hills Of Manchuria" in 1997.

 Mon Jul 15 14:43:25 +0000 2013

I have the CD

 Mon Jul 15 14:46:48 +0000 2013

It was a cute little Windows game. The Russian version was changed A LOT. I'm interested in the original.

 Mon Jul 15 14:50:22 +0000 2013

Doka worked with Midas (Noch at the time). They also published a Russian version of Clash, a DOS strategy game they also put out.

 Mon Jul 15 14:54:07 +0000 2013

Plus, you know, the fact that it was heavily changed & came out TWO YEARS before anywhere else in the world.

 Mon Jul 15 14:55:48 +0000 2013

Meh. I'm not a fan of Pendulo.

 Mon Jul 15 14:59:23 +0000 2013

I haven't payed it in a while, but I always liked the changed plot. KGB, Beria in the intro, passwords, Chinese agents & all that.

 Mon Jul 15 15:01:04 +0000 2013

Are you on Adventure Legends?

 Mon Jul 15 15:05:30 +0000 2013

It's the ONLY link. That's the 1999 budget Canadian release.

 Mon Jul 15 15:11:02 +0000 2013

And btw, Noch Software is credited in the Doka version.

 Mon Jul 15 15:13:21 +0000 2013

Yeah, you can clearly see where the burning ended if you look at the CD surface. It's quite small.

Not always. Some managed to direct will into 70s.

 Mon Jul 15 21:44:50 +0000 2013

Gaidai, man. Perfect editing. The Diamond Arm is very well shot (in scope as well!), although I'd kill the makeup department.

 Mon Jul 15 21:49:22 +0000 2013

AND, I know you're gonna hate me, but Tarkovsky. <3 Ivan's Childhood.

 Mon Jul 15 21:49:46 +0000 2013

I love Stalker. Solaris is extremely slow, but amazingly good looking. Just got the new blu-ray for it. Holy shit!

 Mon Jul 15 21:54:19 +0000 2013

I recommend Ivan's Childhood for visuals alone. The film is also great.

 Mon Jul 15 21:54:36 +0000 2013

Not the case with Stalker, though. And it shows.

 Mon Jul 15 21:58:26 +0000 2013

You said you don't like "The Mirror" before, right?

 Mon Jul 15 22:00:08 +0000 2013

No, no! They shot the first half and then the lab ruined all the negatives! Then they didn't give him additional funds.

 Mon Jul 15 22:02:29 +0000 2013

He then rewrote everything because he "didn't want to make the same thing twice" & to accommodate for smaller budget.

 Mon Jul 15 22:03:33 +0000 2013

What? The Mirror is beautiful... Rublev is a gooddamn masterpiece, BUT IT'S SO FUCKING LONG!

@AveTory This is to possibly sell you on Ivan's Childhood.

That's not what I read & heard in the interviews.

It's not like I learned about Tarkovsky in the west.

 Mon Jul 15 22:16:27 +0000 2013

I've heard enough interviews with people who went to VGIK with him, so I get the picture. Still, I really like a lot of his films.

I really like the original version of Police Quest. So there.

 Tue Jul 16 12:03:24 +0000 2013

Yeah, I couldn't afford an MT-32 then, so when I recently heard it for the 1st time recently, I nearly shit myself

 Tue Jul 16 12:14:30 +0000 2013

I know of a certain @AgustinCordes who said he liked Blue Force

To me first two PQ games got the procedural angle right. U felt accomplished after you cuffed someone & didn't die

 Tue Jul 16 12:19:03 +0000 2013

I'm not. Give me a $15 tier that includes the game & then make me raise my pledge with updates. I'll happily do it.

 Tue Jul 16 12:27:14 +0000 2013

I always watch the pitch videos. I'm interested in the way the project is presented.

I know it's unrelated, but then there was Police Quest: SWAT... Ahahahahahaha!

I wanna make a no-CD, a trainer & a possible patch for a game. Haven't touched a debugger in almost 2 decades. Should I even bother?

I was just about to say that!

 Tue Jul 16 12:58:35 +0000 2013

I was just in a public bathroom & I'm pretty sure Tupac Shakur was in the stall next to mine...

 Tue Jul 16 13:48:41 +0000 2013

So far it looks like Yahtzee & Gabe are so bored by Normality they can't even be bothered to talk about what's going on in the game.

 Tue Jul 16 13:58:50 +0000 2013

I personally like Normality a bunch, despite questionable writing & irritating voices.

 Tue Jul 16 13:59:34 +0000 2013

Maybe I should finally give Loom in MT-32 mode a whirl after all these years then...

 Tue Jul 16 14:00:34 +0000 2013

I actually like the engine & the interface.

 Tue Jul 16 14:21:29 +0000 2013

Oh yeah, almost forgot to mention probably the most irritating thing abut Normality - the constant elevator music.

 Tue Jul 16 14:22:33 +0000 2013

I like the engine in Normality a bunch. It was very robust. And the improved version of it in Realms of the Haunting us even more awesome.

 Tue Jul 16 14:25:15 +0000 2013

Yes! I was recently toying with an idea of making a game in current tech, but sticking to the limitations of 2.5D.

 Tue Jul 16 14:30:09 +0000 2013

I wrote an engine for that almost 10 years ago.

 Tue Jul 16 14:30:42 +0000 2013

I recently played through this & it felt great! http://youtu.be/j7eCAX-ZM-Q

 Tue Jul 16 14:36:50 +0000 2013

I'm actually annoyed that ports if old games never bother to implement the "billboard" sprites.

 Tue Jul 16 14:39:17 +0000 2013

You didn't have sprites rendered as surfaces in early 3D unless you were playing a Bethesda game.

 Tue Jul 16 14:40:07 +0000 2013

It was bliss. Bliss & heaven.

 Tue Jul 16 14:40:45 +0000 2013

I just realized that I can use sprites from my unfinished prototype in my current one. Gonna be lots of owls in hats in the background!

 Tue Jul 16 14:43:55 +0000 2013

That's when sprites are just scaled bitmaps that airways face you despite your angle. Modern source ports

 Tue Jul 16 14:44:54 +0000 2013

take the easy way out by doing sprites with textured quads thus actually having them look like cardboard

 Tue Jul 16 14:45:40 +0000 2013

cutouts when you're above them.

 Tue Jul 16 14:46:03 +0000 2013

That's ambitious... Then again, Build is open source. Full authenticity!

 Tue Jul 16 15:09:00 +0000 2013

Yes

 Tue Jul 16 15:10:41 +0000 2013

Doom engine is usually referred to as "the Doom Engine". Same with Quake. It's unclear what id Tech 1 actually is.

 Tue Jul 16 15:14:25 +0000 2013

But with Quake 2 they started calling it "id Tech 2"

 Tue Jul 16 15:15:09 +0000 2013

Ok, you have a couple of months to brush up on things then

 Tue Jul 16 15:20:01 +0000 2013

No more of this 2.5D talk or I'll be tempted to start another prototype.

 Tue Jul 16 15:24:40 +0000 2013

I already see the gameplay in my head... That would make a cool game. Not really a shooter... Aaahhhhhh!

 Tue Jul 16 15:27:17 +0000 2013

Because there's international word "comrade" that originates from French, no need to barbarize a Russian one with Turkish origins

 Tue Jul 16 18:30:39 +0000 2013

Americans don't use it because they didn't have communism, which adapted "comrade" as its formal address. Citizen is "grazhdanin".
