It fucking hurts me so much that Phantasmagoria 1 is so fondly remembered as a classic despite falling in pretty much every aspect, and Phanta 2 is remembered as a bad game despite the fact that it actually tried so hard to hour repeat any of the mistakes of the first game.

Watching the new blu-ray of Soviet "War & Peace", and while it looks so much better than any version available before, I can't not mourn the loss of the original 70mm negatives, and the fact that we'll *never* see this amazing film as originally intended.

How the fuck do you lose/destroy so many priceless materials over the years, Mosfilm?!

That's not what happened. In most cases with Mosfilm the negatives were simply stored improperly.

It would be more hardcore if the doors were locked after the film(s) began, and only unlocked after it was over.

I don't care for hype, and I don't watch a lot of tv, but I genuinely love Stranger Things (not so much the second season). Things don't have to be perfect for me to enjoy them. In fact, most things aren't.

 Sun Jul 14 06:11:45 +0000 2019

However, it loses what the first movie had - effortless comedy. Jokes on the first film weren't laugh out funny, they were just consistent, and everyone looked very relaxed. It just felt fun. You can clearly tell the 2nd film was a reaction to how much money the first one made.

This DOS game had what we'd call a day one DLC today. #DOSGaming

It's also a game that was incredibly CPU sensitive. And despite game updates (I have version 1.1) that never got fixed. So here's your day one DLC, and a game that wouldn't work properly on some machines. I assure you neither one of those things is a new phenomenon.

Mallrats is a terribly made mostly unfunny film, but I do understand why it's a cult classic. Many years ago, after I already saw and hated it, I watched it while I was high. And all of sudden it was HILARIOUS. That's when I understood what a stoner classic meant.

Well, Tetris Effect in VR is absolutely amazing! Now I just have to get really good at Tetris, because all of these levels that suddenly kick into speed 10 are kicking my ass.

 Tue Jul 23 15:41:07 +0000 2019

I guess I have to finally learn to rotate the figures both ways. Which essentially means I have re-learn how to play Tetris.

Yes.

So far made it through 3 worlds of the Journey mode, and I honestly can't think of a level I didn't like or pick out a favorite. So much amazing work was put into this.

Tetris Effect on PC doesn't do auto detecting. It has a default option to launch it in 2D mode, and two additional options: "Launch in Oculus" and "Launch in SteamVR". I think it's just one of those situations when it's being used to drum up hate for the store.

I think Tarantino doesn't get enough credit for being his own DP on Death Proof. The movie looks good, and considering that it also has a big action sequence, something that he doesn't usually do, everything worked out quite well.

 Fri Jul 26 04:33:39 +0000 2019

The dialogue sets up all the characters, and the fact that Zoe is immortal.

 Fri Jul 26 04:37:40 +0000 2019

@DavidXNewton Hey, look. Found an early version of Electro Body that came with a list of the songs that were sampled for the sound effects in the game!

 Sun Jul 28 00:43:54 +0000 2019

Finally! The mystery source of "We have to be careful, this is an emergency area" sample from the classic Polish platformer Electro Body (aka "Electroman", as published by Epic Mega Games) has been tracked down: https://youtu.be/vcacZnjX7HY

 Sun Jul 28 00:46:11 +0000 2019

It turned out that early releases of the game came with a readme that *proudly* presented the list of sampled songs right upfront! 😆

 Sun Jul 28 00:49:08 +0000 2019

I'm pretty sure the genre is called "Electro Body", at least that's what Front 242 were classified as

 Sun Jul 28 01:19:55 +0000 2019

I believe it was suggested that the original sample is from a BBC broadcast by Michael Burke.

They didn't make it. It was DreamForge (Veil of Darkness, Ravenloft, Sanitarium) who were the developers. Capstone was the publisher.
