VR has been affordable for years, and it's been powerful for longer, but sadly there isn't a lot to do with it as far as gaming goes because of problems inherent to the medium that don't look like they are going to be solved any time soon. I'm not saying it can't be fun though.

 Sun Dec 01 14:31:40 +0000 2019

There are some things I absolutely love in VR. A lot of them aren't games. Superhot VR is pretty damn amazing though.

Oh, trust me, the initial shock of technology actually working is gonna last for weeks. It's a lot of fun! Make sure you have lots of room to manoeuvre. I don't have a lot, but just barely enough. Actually walking in VR & using your hands is what *really* sells it.

 Sun Dec 01 20:14:15 +0000 2019

A lot of the best VR experiences actually require roomscale movement. I don't have a lot of room, like I said, but I was able to rearrange my area to accommodate the bare minimum. There's no movement or teleport controls in Superhot VR. You have to walk physically.

I don't agree, but I do love the presentation of the game a lot.

 Tue Dec 03 16:01:17 +0000 2019

Having incredibly boring repetitive gameplay disqualifies it from being a masterpiece in my book. But yeah, the graphics are very nice. Neverhood is a lot more interesting, artistically. Gameplay-wise it's pretty much Myst, but more cute and less annoying.

Glad I didn't see it in a theater though, because I don't know if I could handle seeing Eli Roth on a big screen again. 🤢 I can only stomach him in Inglorious Basterds, and that's it. The man is an awful director, and I have no idea why he's as famous as he is.

 Sat Dec 07 16:00:59 +0000 2019

Now, please note that I'm not advocating for that interpretation. I'm merely saying that the film was designed in a way to allow both. Paul Verhoeven himself points all of these moments out on the commentary track.

 Sat Dec 07 16:19:56 +0000 2019

What I was trying to argue last night is that neither of those interpretations actually hurts the movie. In essence that only affect the final outcome in a viewer's imagination.

 Sat Dec 07 16:21:39 +0000 2019

My roommate is a little on the spectrum (diagnosed), but he's also really good at arguing (he cheats). An unfortunate combination.

 Sat Dec 07 16:25:16 +0000 2019

Also Total Recall appears to be only American Paul Verhoeven movie that doesn't contain a dance sequence that is painfully awkward in some way.

There's no alternative story in Basic Instinct, hence the final shot. 😄 also..... Momento and Usual Suspects totally gives you all the info. I can understand if you said Lost Highway or something, but Momento and US tie everything up with a bow in their final scenes.

I can practically recite this movie.

 Mon Dec 09 04:34:29 +0000 2019

Rewatching the second Naked Gun movie. Russian kid me definitely didn't appreciate the San Francisco fires - Hindenburg - Titanic - Michael Dukakis joke.

 Mon Dec 09 06:48:18 +0000 2019

Man, I miss Leslie Nielsen. The man committed 100% to the silliest gags, and also managed to deliver the most ridiculous dialogue with the straightest face. What an actor.

 Mon Dec 09 07:05:40 +0000 2019

- Que sera, sera. You do speak French, don't you?
- Unfortunately no, but I do kiss that way.

 Mon Dec 09 07:07:37 +0000 2019

I need to give the show a rewatch. I remember the special guest credits gags more than the actual episodes.

 Mon Dec 09 07:10:01 +0000 2019

I just remember stuff like
- Who are you, and how did you get in?
- I'm a locksmith and... I'm a locksmith.

 Mon Dec 09 07:12:13 +0000 2019

Speaking of Leslie Nielsen, Pat Proft's "Wrongfully Accused" is extremely underrated.

Hey, that Ghostbusters teaser was cute.

 Mon Dec 09 16:10:17 +0000 2019

Mostly major props for not showing *anything*, but the setup of the story. No original cast members, not even a theme at the end. That's some restraint. 👍

 Mon Dec 09 16:15:26 +0000 2019

Plus I'm sure "kind of like Stranger Things starring the kid from Stranger Things" pitch sounds good to studios, especially after the whole IT business.

 Mon Dec 09 16:22:55 +0000 2019

I'm more willing to bet that it was a studio executive who did exactly that.

You know what, I almost wouldn't care if there weren't many jokes in the film. I already have the original for that. Give me a generational drama in the same universe, and I'm sold.

Well, Jason Reitman is a multiple Oscar nominee, but this is very much a studio movie, so idk.

 Mon Dec 09 19:15:09 +0000 2019

This trailer did turn me around from completely disinterested to somewhat optimistic, so to the very least it was a well made trailer.

 Mon Dec 09 19:22:33 +0000 2019

 Fri Dec 13 04:24:47 +0000 2019

Well, what can I say? Things are pretty System Shock-y. Waiting for more.

 Fri Dec 13 05:05:57 +0000 2019

It does very much feel like an older game with a brand new presentation. The mechanics now free of the excuse of 25 year old pixels and sound that used to go with them just feel incredibly basic.

 Fri Dec 13 05:08:21 +0000 2019

You get an email and a message.

 Fri Dec 13 05:08:56 +0000 2019

It's not necessarily a bad thing, I guess. It's just weird to play a game that is clearly new, yet so incredibly familiar.

 Fri Dec 13 05:10:12 +0000 2019

I don't get that feeling from, let's say, Black Mesa because even in familiar bits so many little things have been reworked.

 Fri Dec 13 05:11:10 +0000 2019

A new alpha demo is available for 48 hours. Less now.

 Fri Dec 13 05:12:30 +0000 2019

All the things that have evolved since then feel almost silly. Like, in System Shock 2, which btw happened TWENTY years ago stepping into a line of sight of a camera felt like a legitimate threat. In System Shock 1 and the remake it's... a number that goes down when you destroy 1

 Fri Dec 13 05:15:02 +0000 2019

Still an alpha.

 Fri Dec 13 05:15:42 +0000 2019

Again, not saying that's bad, because people clearly asked for an asset update of the original game, but I'm wondering if all of this is going to be felt by the new players who are going to be experiencing the game for the first time.

 Fri Dec 13 05:17:50 +0000 2019

 Fri Dec 13 09:47:11 +0000 2019

In my dream I was living in the same place I live now. Everything pretty much mached to to my life. My work, my friends, everything. So what happened is one day I came home from work to find that all it vintage machines have been replaced with amigas.

 Fri Dec 13 10:00:23 +0000 2019

I'm joking of course. Sorry, still trying to get over some of the trauma brought up by my subconscious.

 Fri Dec 13 10:01:16 +0000 2019

DOS covers A LOT of ground. From the large time span when it was *the* IBM PC gaming platform (1981 - 1997) to beyond that, when it became the platform for small freeware and shareware games, to now, when it has a vintage and retro appeal. Plus, you know, it's an open platform.

Rewatched "Mouse Hunt" on Amazon. It's a nice HD transfer for a mid-90s movie, but whoever handled it pushed blue waaay too hard. The scenes that don't take place in daytime are excessively blue, especially considering how shadowy this movie is to begin with.

Criterion used the exact same transfer Universal used for their own blu about a year or so earlier. They didn't do the mastering. I'm not sure how Arrow handled the transfer, but since their release is EU only, there's a possibility of a US 4k release from Universal domestically.

Heh. In HD the extended parts of Blues Brothers really stand out. Clearly a few generations removed from the source. They don't look bad exactly, but they are both blown out and crushed. Not a lot of detail. I actually wonder if that was sourced from 16mm.

 Wed Dec 18 03:30:47 +0000 2019

In which case they did a pretty good job restoring it, even if it meant filtering out all the grain to match the 35mm footage.

 Wed Dec 18 03:31:43 +0000 2019

I remember hearing Landis blaming Murphy for everything that was wrong with that movie. This definitely puts a different spin on things.

It came out 4 months later, and it was a retail store release, as opposed to shareware of Wolfenstein 3D. It is essentially just new maps, and there are only a handful of changes (a few new bosses, a new enemy, and a few textures.) The story is a prequel to Wolf 3D.

Speaking of how much Disney owns:
Remember that Fox fucked Richard O'Brien out of rights to anything Rocky Horror related, and then Disney swooped in and bought everything. The guy owns *nothing*.

That game itself was only rediscovered a couple of years ago, and he was likely the first person ever to play through the entire game publicly.

Btw, who owns the rights to the Russian-developed Flashback with dinosaurs "Bermuda Syndrome"? I think original publisher was BMG, which means it's Rockstar today, which means it's Take Two Interactive. Re-release Bermuda Syndrome, you cowards!
