Book of Patterns it absolutely non essential. It's just cool fluff to find in a box. You get everything you need from the game.

It can certainly help, just like the audio introduction, but essential it is not.

It looks like RGB because that's what the standard for PCs was. IBM PCs weren't big on composite, or god forbid, RF. The only standard composite output was on a first CGA implementation, and even that disappeared very shortly after.

One of the reviews of the time did get the movie (while still being a negative one) and it explicitly questioned if the actors were aware that they were cast as a joke of sorts.

Yes, but it was also because the means of distribution were so limited, and with no centralisation. Mass physical sharing was encouraged because not that many people had modems. More shareware copies in the wild = more potential customers willing to pay $40-$50 for x3 the content

As with most things when new and exciting technology arrives, it was probably a bit of both. One thing for sure: faceless corporations didn't choose this distribution method. It small companies, or dev teams with less than dozen, or often just one or two, members.

The only crappy thing about Max Payne is that it automatically adjusts enemy reaction time/accuracy based on how well you're doing, meaning you'll eventually get to the point where the later enemies can just one shot your ass as soon as you turn the corner. But it is still fun.

Evil Dead 2 happens to include a several minute long recap of the first film that is completely reshot, before the events of the sequel kick in right after the reenactment of of the original's ending, and it throws so many people off for some reason.

Max Payne 2 is a helluva lot easier to, thanks to you picking up speed with every kill. Sometimes you can chain enough kills to begin moving normally while corpses still hang in the air. 😄

I *do* have something to add to the Patty Jenkins discourse though. The same thing I always say about directors that haven't done much yet. They have to make *more* films before we declare them as good directors. Jenkins had a fantastic debut with Monster.

It's a 3 hour long romcom made for tv, so it's not exactly the pinnacle of cinema, and certain bits didn't age gracefully, but overall it's pretty good for a holiday tv movie.

Thu Dec 31 16:46:08 +0000 2020I really didn't play many games this year, and the only new one was Eric Chahi's Paper Beast, which was very delightful.

Oh wait, that's not true. I also played Half-Life: Alyx! Gosh, that feels like it's been like five years since then. It was really good, but also really fucking scary at times.

There are a few games that feature Gorbachev, and there are many humorous political games, like that Bernie SMB clone, but where's my game where Gorby fights for things that all end up backfiring spectacularly?

Thu Dec 31 20:45:19 +0000 2020Replying to @GeekySwede
Bethesda owns the Keen ip as well as the name "Commander Keen". However, Keen Dreams was owned by Softdisk, eventually ending up at Flat Rock Software, where Javier bought it from. Not licensed, but actually bought with crowdfunded money ($3 grand.) So now he owns it outright.
Thu Dec 31 20:57:33 +0000 2020Replying to @GeekySwede
They still can prohibit him from using the "Commander Keen" in his listings, thus possibly taking away some of the game's recognition. 🤷
