Programming AdLib/Sound Blaster FM: http://www.shipbrook.net/jeff/sb.html

All that means that a programmer created a MIDI to FM approximation table. There is no way to do it by default.

I know, but with GM you just send the instrument number + parameter. Can't do that with OPL. There are no instruments.

 Wed Aug 06 16:49:14 +0000 2014

so a programmer had to find FM variations that would replace standard GM instruments

We don't have to agree, but try playing DOOM midi files through any other OPL supporting player. Win 3.1 for example.

Kind of difficult to translate "Grim Fandango". Pulp Fiction is "Crime Fiction" & Reservoir Dogs are "Rabid Dogs" in Russian.

Russians also translated LSL 1, SQ 4 & 5 in a way other translators couldn't even dream about.

 Thu Aug 07 15:36:57 +0000 2014

Exactly, plus I'm not a fan of LSL7 because it tried to keep original jokes. "А у вас холодильник на ножках?"

Don't let anyone tell you that KQ 8 is the worst in the series

You should play 8. Just a bit, until you get tired of it. It's hardly the worst game ever.

 Sun Aug 10 15:17:30 +0000 2014

Yeah, pretty much the worst part of the game, but the opening is nice.

 Sun Aug 10 15:20:40 +0000 2014

Animation Magic! (Mother Russia!).

 Sun Aug 10 15:21:12 +0000 2014

6 is the best in the series. 5 can be forgiven, as we tend to do with KQ games a lot

 Sun Aug 10 15:21:56 +0000 2014

Cutscene animation is pretty absurd

 Sun Aug 10 15:22:31 +0000 2014

I think it's more of a case of consistent narrative, not so much the puzzle design.

heh. I never thought of that.

 Sun Aug 10 17:44:54 +0000 2014

Very cheap. Most people are dubbed by the same 2 actors & they fucked up the day-for-night effect & put a disclaimer on the box

 Sun Aug 10 17:50:03 +0000 2014

I appreciate it for being the only Russian comedy that's 99% narration & dialogue. Until they made the inferior sequels of course.

 Sun Aug 10 17:55:21 +0000 2014

there's still more cinematic things happening in those. DMB has nothing to offer film-wise, it's all the writing.

 Sun Aug 10 17:58:48 +0000 2014

The "screenplay" is just 40 pages of narration & dialogue. Reading it is just as funny.

 Sun Aug 10 17:59:54 +0000 2014

Yeah, it's written like a short story. With all these "said so & so" that really have no place in a film script.

It looks like a business dinner is happening tonight. Great, more drinking.

"It is a fully “reimagined” take on the original series, according to Activision." Best example of a studio talk ever.

 Tue Aug 12 14:12:24 +0000 2014

"The studio intends to capture the same combination of difficult puzzles and engaging narrative as the originals."

 Tue Aug 12 14:14:05 +0000 2014

I'm gonna call bullshit on that right now

 Tue Aug 12 14:14:20 +0000 2014

So is it a "reimagined" new take on the series, or an old school combination of difficult puzzles & narrative?

King's Quest!

 Tue Aug 12 14:17:10 +0000 2014

I'm betting on a casual game. King's Quest in name only.

 Tue Aug 12 14:20:51 +0000 2014

Should have been watching a Robin Williams movie like the rest of the world

 Tue Aug 12 14:21:17 +0000 2014

it does if it's King's Quest. Develop an original property instead.

 Tue Aug 12 14:24:39 +0000 2014

oh remember the time when Magna Cum Laude didn't look too bad either?

Hey, remember Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude? Now try to remember its marketing campaign.

 Tue Aug 12 14:31:40 +0000 2014

This whole thing smells of a studio cash grab & I don't like it one bit. I'll gladly eat my own hat if the opposite happens.

 Tue Aug 12 14:33:05 +0000 2014

they got you covered, eh?

 Tue Aug 12 14:34:17 +0000 2014

Save it for your next year. It's a fine film. You liked Big Trouble, so it sounds like Carpenter is your thing.
