The lost Cryo game based on childhood and life of the French singer Etienne Daho that was included on his 1996 album "Eden" and was recently rediscovered by @Oujevipo is now available as a CD image (data track only) on the Internet Archive: https://archive.org/details/EDENDAHOCD

How are you with DosBox?

 Wed May 01 15:43:36 +0000 2019

Well, for Mutant Penguins you need to at least know how to:
- Configure DosBox output settings appropriately for your system
- Mount a local directory as a virtual hard drive
- Mount a CD image as a CD drive
I suggest you look those things up.

It's really a bit of a shame because David Perry actually deserves another shot at a good game on a platform that's not gonna die before it's released.

On just gameplay mechanics thing alone you can find plenty of interviews where Doug claims that Skullmonkeys is a better game than EWJ, and that's already a good enough reason to not put him in charge of any action title ever.

Being first to do a thing, and being the first to popularize a thing are completely different things. Dune 2 isn't the first RTS, Ultima Online isn't the first graphical MMO, etc.

 Mon May 06 01:10:53 +0000 2019

Conventions are also important though. Like, while Dune 2 wasn't technically the first strategy game in real time, it had structure that pretty much 90% of all RTS games copied for the next decade.

 Tue May 07 06:18:45 +0000 2019

Yeah, this is such a giant disappointment. I think the effect is amplified because he portrays himself as a person who has a sense of self deprecation about himself, and he makes positive entertainment for people, and then you find out that it's totally opposite of what...

 Tue May 07 06:25:56 +0000 2019

... he really stands for, it's so much worse. I knew of his political stance and everything else, and it was already bad enough, but only just now I learned about all the stuff with his daughter, and now I'm just like... Jackie Chan is a fucking asshole. Shit.

 Tue May 07 06:27:10 +0000 2019

There's always that moment of extreme disappointment when you find out that one of your childhood heroes is a piece of shit in real life. But man, for some reason I really didn't expect to put Jackie Chan in the same category. Maybe I'm just naive.

 Tue May 07 06:34:41 +0000 2019

Yeah, exactly. And I'm of that generation that glorifies him. His films were in theaters AND on video, and were massive. TV stations aired many of his specials. He licensed his likeness to cartoons and videogames. When I grew up I recognized appreciation for the early cinema...

 Tue May 07 06:38:10 +0000 2019

... influences in his pictures. And I saw scenes in his film broken down at a technical level, and I saw him as a director, a creator. And he always played towards that image. So now that I learn that INTENTIONALLY did it, all of it seems so fake, it's fucking gross.

 Tue May 07 06:40:02 +0000 2019

Like, I'm not surprised that James Woods is a shitstain, for example. Who would be? But Jackie Chan... 😥

 Tue May 07 06:41:17 +0000 2019

Yeah, that's what goes through my head every single fucking time someone posts that speech from The Great Dictator on any social media. (Also, let's fucking face it, that speech is not *that* good. It's naive as fuck.)

 Tue May 07 06:44:32 +0000 2019

Haha. Well, thanks. But I'm sure a lot of people who know me in real life, and probably a healthy amount on here too, would disagree. But I'm trying, I'm really fucking trying to be. (also I'm drunk)

I don't know how it might play to younger audiences, but I have a feeling that despite being antiquated in a few ways, because it portrays the relationships so realistically, it might still apply even today.

 Tue May 07 07:09:42 +0000 2019

What I like about it is that the references aren't required to understand to move the plot along. They are worked in, most of the time. So if you miss some, it's absolutely fine. I, for example, had no reference for Grange Hill until this very year. Now those bits are funny 2 me.

Yeah, that one specific line is a bit 😨 in retrospect. I don't feel that this specific aspect of that character is mocked in the episode though. It's Tim's reaction that is definitely dismissive of NB people. Shame, cause so many of my favorite jokes are from that episode.

 Tue May 07 14:55:16 +0000 2019

VS something like *that* IT Crowd episode, which doesn't have an excuse of being written by people in their early 20s in the 90s, bases the entirety of the episode on that one specific aspect, and of course is given a lot more sad context in retrospect.

Blood is hard as nails, but it's a real test of skill. Very much a 90s games. It is *very* rewarding to play it on the default difficulty, which is pretty much as difficult as the hardest difficulty in any other fps of the time. It feels good to master it.

To me, Flashback really falls apart at around half way mark, when it gets annoyingly difficult, and also you need to do a ton of running back & fourth just because. And its cutscenes are super inconsistent. Honestly the older I get, the less I enjoy it.

AITD is one of my favorite games, but about the only thing I like about the sequels is the background art. Same for Jack in the Dark & Knight's Chase.

Ugh. It's too late and I'm too tired. Even in my head that's what played, but I must have been thinking of Bride of Chucky or something. And I own the soundtrack too. All three.

Decided to finally give What We Do In The Shadows show a whirl. Not bad so far. The premise is definitely a good fit for episodic format. Really good cast too.

 Sat May 11 04:42:58 +0000 2019

*But* when I was watching the original film 20 min in my roommate has to ask me if I was okay because I was laughing so hard. A show that's repeating a premise of something that already exists is unlikely to have the same effect.

I love the movie. Watching the show right now.

First five minutes of the movie are on YouTube. But the show's pilot is essentially a rehash of that part.

I'd watch that.

I just think Newsroom is being hated on somewhat unjustly. A lot of the criticism as the time was "that's not how any of this works," but... Did they think that The West Wing was authentic or something?

Terminator rights are super weird too. MGM owns the first one because they picked up Orion's assets, I guess. Lionsgate owns the home rights to the second one through Artisan through Carolco. Third one? I think that's Warner Bros? Don't know about the rest.

 Thu May 23 23:13:43 +0000 2019

Keep in mind, these are not the same rights as the ones that allow producing films. Like 20th Century Fox was the distributor for the original Star Wars movies, and Lucas and then Disney didn't have those rights. Until now, of course.

It's not enhanced EGA either. It's regular EGA. You can change standard CGA & EGA palettes on a VGA card.

"Enhanced EGA" usually refers to the 640x350 64 color palette EGA mode. It's been a while since I played either Les Manley or Alerted Destiny, but in my memory they are just pure EGA games.

My summary of all three hearings (no law background at all):
While some of Fred & Paul's statements were questioned, Brad made an ass out of himself twice. Judge declined his request to give him more time to regroup.

 Tue May 28 01:54:05 +0000 2019

My prediction (just guessing):
Brad knows he's losing, hence the settlement. Because of this will more likely be more favorable to Fred & Paul. So I'm guessing Brad is gonna be free to sell his game, while Fred & Paul will retain distribution of SC 1 & 2 and...

 Tue May 28 01:56:50 +0000 2019

I feel that in our current discussions of disappointments, entitlement, and their effect of commercial success nobody mentions that the best selling PC game of the 90s had an ending of just a guy going "Hey, it's you. Thanks. Now I've got writing to do. Don't bother me anymore."

 Thu May 30 16:05:29 +0000 2019

And then you even had to go quit the game the same way you normally do all by yourself.

Brb, starting a petition for Cyan to declare the ending to original Myst non-canon, and remake it. Preferably in 10k.

That's honestly not much different from the real ending.

It's funny that Iron Maiden *didn't* sue the publisher of the Build engine game that *was* actually cashing in on their property - a game that was originally known as "Ruins", and then eventually released as "Powerslave" in the US

 Thu May 30 18:37:00 +0000 2019

Yep, it's only "Powerslave" in the US, specifically to rip off Iron Maiden is my guess.
