It's a neat concept, in theory. Fairly easily implemented in a portal/sector type engine like this. Duke Nukem 3D had a somewhat well known non-euclidean level. I believe a modern game Antichamber is built around a similar concept, but I haven't played it myself.

He was always a tech guy, and was only ever involved in two FPS games, both of which launched the same year. A lot of experimental protects he developed in the 90s didn't really go anywhere, and we'll probably never know the extent of his partnership with Interplay.

But from what I remember, he still had a tech company of some kind that he started in late 2000s. He's still around, just not in gamedev.

Triangles are NOT used for sprires in Flashback. Take it from someone who has seen the game's resources. Once again, Flashback is NOT a vector based game. Sprites and backgrounds are BITMAP.

I guess I should make an addendum here: the game itself isn't vector. It's 14 cutscenes are, except not in the the CD version. But no matter what version you play the actual game part is all bitmap graphics.

Mon Jun 25 19:27:05 +0000 2018To this day it's slightly weird that in the original floppy release everyone refers to SHODAN as "he". The text is the same in the CD version, but the v.o has been changed (often significantly) and the text is off by default. https://x.com/vectorpoem/status/1011329693423886336

Weird thing about me: I have no problem with Shodan's gender (I guess? She's not really a human being) being flipped, but yet I don't feel so great about the same being done to Chaos from LOOM™.
Mon Jun 25 19:32:43 +0000 2018Replying to @dosnostalgic
Probably has a lot to do with SHODAN and her voice becoming so iconic, and my general dislike of the VGA version of LOOM™.
Mon Jun 25 19:37:01 +0000 2018Did the Mac version of System Shock have dynamic music? Because the reason I was most excited about a proper source port of System Shock is the fact that Enhanced Edition's music support was broken. It would be a bummer if Shockolate didn't have the music.

If you set your music to GM for an MT-32 game, ScummVM will automatically map appropriate instruments to GM. No need for Munt.
Tue Jun 26 21:11:18 +0000 2018Replying to @KGOrphanides
You might be confusing things a little. Munt doesn't have anything to do with GM cards at all.
Tue Jun 26 21:16:48 +0000 2018Replying to @KGOrphanides
It's weird that setting the music to GM in the first place didn't work for you in the first place, because I'm sure that's what ended up happening in the end when Munt crapped out.
Tue Jun 26 21:22:25 +0000 2018Replying to @KGOrphanides
That's not what I was implying, just pointing it out that I've been using many generations of ScummVM in combination with different sound devices to see what the results turn out to be for years. ;)
Tue Jun 26 21:25:08 +0000 2018Replying to @KGOrphanides
That's probably what it is. ScummVM sending out regular GM, and SC-55 expecting MT-32 mappings would surely mess the instruments up.

Myst 3 is the best Myst because it's not made by the same people, and therefore contains significantly less bullshit than the rest. And, of course, there's Brad Dourif.

Sat Jun 30 23:56:54 +0000 2018Wait. "It Came From the Desert" movie actually came out?

Excuse me, what is this? Remember how the original game is a throwback to cheesy 50s B-flicks? What's with this music, motorcycles, flipping cars and all the kissing teenagers? https://youtu.be/vG-Ir5KTmbY
Sun Jul 01 01:18:26 +0000 2018Tonight's entertainment: Italian cut of Dawn of the Dead restored in 4K

It's out on VOD at this very moment.

Very Italian

4K restoration or not, Dawn of the Dead still mostly looks a total mess. Even in its best staged moments it looks like a semi-decent tv movie at most. It's just the movie itself is so good, everyone is forgiving it its cheapness.

All library music is gone, and the entire film is scored by Goblin, but sometimes their music isn't used in the same scenes as it was in Romero's final cut. Some quiet moments are taken out and replaced with more zombie action instead.

Yeah, but compare it with the total collapse and despair of the next two much darker, yet also much better looking films.

The only one.

I would agree that it's an inferior movie, but it's interesting to check out the differences. Essentially in moments when the scenes weren't changed at all, yet feel completely different because of the music.

Ew

Man, it's just so weird to watch Argento's version of Dawn of the Dead. A lot of scenes have a completely different feel to them, even the scenes that weren't changed all that much.

Original format for this is 35mm film. Mitch better fidelity than we can currently reproduce in digital.
