Having a heated discussion with an Amiga fan over on Facebook. Great guy, but one of those super devoted Amiga people who's a bit delusional

 Sun Dec 04 03:30:02 +0000 2016

I said this before, Amiga was an amazing machine, with tech miles ahead of anything else in 85, but let's not assign magical properties 2 it

 Sun Dec 04 03:36:04 +0000 2016

Ah, fuck! It looks like the guy (or maybe Facebook crapped out) deleted the thread before I could screenshot a response that he posted!

 Sun Dec 04 03:36:58 +0000 2016

Fucking hell. It was great. Paraphrasing: "Amiga could have 15 channels per each of 4 channels, and had 48 khz sampling - I know, I owned 1"

 Sun Dec 04 03:38:21 +0000 2016

When I brought up Gravis UltraSound he said 32 channels were nothing because even after I explained those weren't synth channels, he refused

 Sun Dec 04 03:39:22 +0000 2016

But see, when I say "delusional", I mean it. It's cool to be a fan, but there's no reason to cross over into pure fantasy.

 Sun Dec 04 03:40:25 +0000 2016

My memories of it are good, but I remember certain things feeling weird. Not sure what that was all about.

 Thu Dec 08 03:17:48 +0000 2016

My goodness, 1998 was a great year for FPS games. Half-Life, Thief, Rainbow Six, Delta Force, Tribes, SiN, Unreal.... And Trespasser!

 Thu Dec 08 03:19:43 +0000 2016

Unreal doesn't really hold up anymore. To be honest I didn't really like it even back then. #ControvercialOpinions

 Thu Dec 08 03:21:09 +0000 2016

My biggest issue with Unreal even back then was that it's fucking boring. Then Half-Life came out & showed everyone how to be NOT boring.

 Thu Dec 08 03:22:55 +0000 2016

The game

 Thu Dec 08 03:23:36 +0000 2016

Great tech & mod music. And idea of a world. But fighting against 2-3 bulletsponges over and over got boring fast.

 Thu Dec 08 03:24:29 +0000 2016

A few years later Doom 3 would take the throne of a groundbreaking tech demo that got really old after an hour.

 Thu Dec 08 03:25:22 +0000 2016

And I still remember my first few sessions of Half-Life. At that moment in time I haven't felt like that since Another World.

 Thu Dec 08 03:26:41 +0000 2016

To this day I maintain that there's quite a lot of similarities in how both Another World & Half-Life build on top of an established genre.

 Thu Dec 08 03:27:21 +0000 2016

And Trespasser really deserves a lot more recognition. I remember at the time that game getting horrible shit from just about everyone.

 Thu Dec 08 03:29:08 +0000 2016

Also 1998 gave us NAM. And fuck you, I like it!

 Thu Dec 08 03:30:39 +0000 2016

Yes, but they both deviate from the formula in a similar way as well. By making the game story heavy & action chunks intense.

Just remembered that a British tv adaptation of Mikhail Bulgalov's A Young Doctor's Notebook exists. Might as well check it out.

 Sun Dec 11 03:32:07 +0000 2016

Not only it's a book, but it's also semi-autobiographical.

 Sun Dec 11 03:39:26 +0000 2016

Watching now. I'm a pretty hardcore Bulgakov fan, so I'm gonna be harsh in my judgement.

 Sun Dec 11 03:41:43 +0000 2016

Do they ever cover the drug addiction part? That was a part of the book that was especially dark, and not as funny as the rest

 Sun Dec 11 03:45:42 +0000 2016

There's a Russian adaptation of just that part. And it's probably one of the darkest things ever committed to the celluloid.

 Sun Dec 11 03:47:25 +0000 2016

I'm enjoying it so far. I get where they were going. While it might not be an accurate depiction, amplifying comedy works.

 Sun Dec 11 03:51:01 +0000 2016

And I think the Russian adaptation is a failure because it took out all the comedy, so the British one is better so far.

Just out of interest click around this to see how grim this is https://youtu.be/UBAJelcF9cY

 Sun Dec 11 03:54:56 +0000 2016

Also the book was semi-autobiographical, and Bulgakov was a really funny guy. Fucked up, but funny.

 Sun Dec 11 03:55:51 +0000 2016

Oh yes, Bulgakov's work is like that. Most of it is flat out hilarious in the most fucked up way. The guy was a genius.

 Sun Dec 11 03:56:36 +0000 2016

Yeah, it only uses the beginning of the book. The book was in two parts. First, A Young Doctor's Notebook, then part 2 was

 Sun Dec 11 03:58:12 +0000 2016

sort of a story about a drug addicted doctor, a friend of the guy who wrote the diary. It was much darker, and, of course, it

 Sun Dec 11 03:58:54 +0000 2016

was the sort of "asking for a friend" situation, where Bulgakov just didn't want to name himself as a substance abuser.

 Sun Dec 11 03:59:23 +0000 2016

The Master and Margarita is his most famous work, and had a lot of English translations over the years. They are okay.

 Sun Dec 11 04:00:11 +0000 2016

If you can find A Heart of a Dog, that's the one I'd recommend starting with.

 Sun Dec 11 04:00:32 +0000 2016

Yeah, they did that to keep some of the narration from the book. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

 Sun Dec 11 04:01:10 +0000 2016

Okay, so that's 1st episode of A Young Doctor's Notebook done. Overall, I think it's a good adaptation all things considered.

 Sun Dec 11 04:06:22 +0000 2016

I'm down with the idea of amplifying the comedy, because it works really well with the style they chose.

 Sun Dec 11 04:07:09 +0000 2016

Not sure about the older doctor character. They clearly did that to keep some of the narration, but I don't think it quite works.

I enjoyed it for the most part. It became pretty much unrelated to the source material in the 2nd season though.

The last 3 episodes were kind of meh tbh. Didn't care for Hamm's character much, but even with all of that I enjoyed it.

 Mon Dec 12 05:18:53 +0000 2016

Despite it deviating from the source significantly, I'd still say that it's the most successful adaptation, in a way.

 Mon Dec 12 05:19:26 +0000 2016

It's 4 episodes per each season. Weird.

 Mon Dec 12 05:21:02 +0000 2016

What I find funny is that every adaptation so far made "Morphine" its central story. It originally wasn't even a part of AYDN.

 Mon Dec 12 05:23:37 +0000 2016

The book is a collection of short stories that Bulgakov published in magazines in the 1920s, including medical ones.

 Mon Dec 12 05:27:31 +0000 2016

Morphine was written later & is very different stylistically. Eventually all these stories were grouped together.

 Mon Dec 12 05:28:30 +0000 2016

Bulgakov's notes indicate that he was intending to publish the stories as a book, as most of the story titles had a subtitle

 Mon Dec 12 05:29:39 +0000 2016

"A Young Doctor's Notebook" or "A Story from A Young Doctor" depending on each story. He died before he could do so.

 Mon Dec 12 05:30:32 +0000 2016

One of the stories was actually only rediscovered in 1981. Bulgakov's work wasn't known in the YEAR because he was very

I know I've said this before, but I personally find Flashback severely overrated.

 Mon Dec 12 18:32:10 +0000 2016

The game is super hard in its 2nd half because the level design gets really cruel, the animation is very inconsistent, etc.

 Mon Dec 12 18:33:05 +0000 2016

All the best bits are really in the beginning. Its all downhill from there.

 Mon Dec 12 18:33:31 +0000 2016

Oh, it's still worth trying out. It looks great, and plays fairly well as a Prince of Persia + Another World blend.

 Mon Dec 12 18:35:13 +0000 2016

It's just for a lot of people it's an undisputed pillar of the cinematic platformer genre, and I can't agree with that.

 Mon Dec 12 18:35:46 +0000 2016

I guess I should note that I don't think that Flashback is a *bad* game, I just think that it makes some serious mistakes.

 Mon Dec 12 18:37:09 +0000 2016

And it makes enough of these mistakes to not live up to its "classic" status that it has built up over the years. It doesn't hold up.

I think I can recite that monologue from memory :)

As interesting as DOOM Ressurected is, it still feels very much like those Hollywood EPK fluff "documentaries".

 Tue Dec 13 22:34:00 +0000 2016

Which is why I say that Double Fine Adventure documentary is an important and unique work. A real doc about people working on a game.

 Tue Dec 13 22:40:24 +0000 2016

That's mostly because we don't really get any behind the scenes coverage that isn't from a promo press kit. *Anything* is better than that. https://x.com/lazygamereviews/status/808804095482036224

It's fine as entertainment, but not representative of actual work that goes into a product. So it's not really a documentary.

Not sure if that package is different from GOG's, but something tells me it isn't. So it's more likely only one version of each game.

I knew that Alone in the Dark 2 was made by an entirely new team, but didnt know they only had 7 month to make it + Jack ITD. Explains a lot

Trying to figure out why I'm spending this much time attempting to make the MS-DOS Games in 1991 video in 60 fps

Yeah, fuck it. 30 fps it is.

I've been salivating since the day they showed in notebooks in the Double Fine Adventure documentary.
