Man. Just to cover these directors, my favourites include:Andrei Rublev Yojimbo Rashomon Seven Samurai Paths of Glory 2001: Space Odyssey Dr. Strangelove

... and the screen and the controller... but at least the rabbit will be dead. There ought to be a proper rabbitd smiley here. Until then...

Carmack is a big OpenGL whore, or did he go back on his open source voodoo and just go the DirectX route for the Doom 3 engine?

The sheer volume of these little ridiculous clips makes them hilarious. I also dig the little moustache and the beret that the French fireworking rabbid for some reason sports.

I thought that the youtube version lacked the medic and the pyro becuse it took the cameraman person a few minutes to get the camera rolling, but I guess they were just ignored.

http://technology.guardian.co.uk/weekly/story/0,,1851462,00.html Nothing overly interesting so far, I only read it half the way through.

Link to the Past in addition to being the best Zelda game* is one of the greatest games ever. EVER. Anyone who says otherwise is a communist, an anarchist and a terrorist. *) I haven't ventured far into the 3D Zeldas, but I have played the first two and some portable ones and am half-way through the Ocarina of Time.

I think all the shadows are cast by actual light sources this time around.

There is some Eurogamer speculation here, in the later part of the interview. No need for its own thread.

http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=69958 That one. The things that actually helped me are the patch, cracking the disc protection, the archaic codec (someone linked to an installer on one of the later pages of the thread), the user.cfg hack, and turning off the hyperthreading.

I don't know how it breaks down by seasons, but after the original mystery is solved, it gets kinda slow before they get to figure out a new mystery, or so people in the know tell me.

The problem of all properties that change hands incompetently, especially in this industry, is that the person that gets the development doesn't really understand--or never attempts to understand--what it is on a deeper level that makes the thing awesome to begin with. Look at the Escape from Monkey Island. It was a parody of itself. They failed to go to the source of Monkey Island, to what inspired Monkey Island, they failed to bring in much in terms of freshness, and looked solely on the earlier games for inspiration. Likewise, I dread thinking that then new Bethsoft Fallout team failed to watch A Boy and His Dog and read the right dystopian books. Having played Godfather, I know that these people failed gloriously to capture the spirit of the movies. Yes, sure, the super-saturated dark colour is there, and so is the quaint music and the superficial grittiness of film, but what made the films cool is misunderstood. Scarface! What if he lived in the end?! is no less sacrilegious. More and more, with every new property that is fucked up in the sequel, I think that to make a proper, quality postscript in someone else's universe, one needs to dissect and tear apart the original and recreate something completely new from the parts, paying homage to the most important theme, the spark of genius first, and superficial style elements second.

The only redeeming quality of Godfather is the relatively robust character creation system that allowed me to create Stephen Colbert. After that it's all downhill. GTA - fun + humbug = Godfather

Tomorrow is the first day of classes. This was a mind-numbingly wrong time to install this game.

Also a propos the SS3 -- there is Bioshock, the true SS3. Rejoice!

The first few paragraphs of that article made me want to suffer through installing the game. I've never played it when it was new, and last few times I tried to make it run, it didn't want to. After a good two hours, a few apps of dubious legality and some down and dirty BIOS hacks it works! Hot shit! Before I started messing with this, I put a ham in the oven. I just started the game proper and the ham is nearly ready.

Some people in the animation circles object to the fact that the billboards contain no drawings, just text, while they're advertizing a cartoon.

Noooooooooooooooooooo!

Actually, I am more fascinated by the idea of a goat bload sucking deamoan than a proper blood sucking one.

I am a big fan of Nick Cave's Murder Ballads. I get all warm and fuzzy when he goes :hitler:

That is because you're in the middle of Alberta and they don't send you many movies. They know that the novelty of moving pictures is enough for your backwards customers.

Little Miss Sunshine is fucking brilliant. Saw it just now. I laughed until my head started to hurt, then I laughed some more. It was quality laughter for the quality funnies.

I think I'll be finishing every paragraph with a mysterious "I" henceforth and hereafter. I

I really hate the dynamics of the relationship between the reatard and the grumpy girl. It is really cheap. It is like an extremely self-conscious and unfun Ren and Stimpy and Manny Calavera cartoon. Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends is really superior. I
