  1. Movie/TV recommendations

    Do it, even if in the future people will think I was asshole-ishly dropping Ghostbusters2016-bashing non-sequiturs!
  2. See here for more crazy people thinking Crystal Skull was good. I'm surprised people are picking the raptor kitchen scene as an example of bad CG in JP. Can anyone highlight particular shots? As I remember it, it's mostly practical, and the few CG shots (like when the one raptor jumps up onto a surface, I think) blend in really well.
  3. Mr. Robutt

    [double-post due to thread-splitting]
  4. Film and TV Demasters

    Getting it from fan edit sites is insanely difficult, but cough if one were to look for it on torrent sites, they would probably have some luck. (And of course they should make sure they own the movies first, for ethical reasons.)
  5. Film and TV Demasters

    Great links, thanks both!
  6. Ha, that's great! Your animations are hella good. Though - and this is likely completely irrelevant for the final product - from this angle it took me a couple of watches to figure out he was getting the sword from the suit of armour...
  7. Switching Careers

    That someone was me! The Icicle engine is not available for general use yet afaik, but perhaps if coughlinjon were to contact Cheeseness (whose engine it is and who posted in my thread for that game, "Baboo!") he'd be happy to let him have a go. I'm not sure it's a good fit for coughlinjon, though. I mean, it's not far removed from writing Twine games. He's already made two amazing WizJam games in 3D with visuals.. Besides, it sounds like he wants advice for this bit particularly: (Sorry if I'm misrepresenting you, though, cghlnjn)
  8. A Decade Ago: The Games of 2007 Thread

    Uh oh, sounds like your experiment is getting feature-creep. You'll be buying Duke Nukem Forever before you know it.
  9. GTA V

    Did a forum search for GTA Online, found this:
  10. The Next President

    Wow, his executive orders are getting really bizarre.
  11. Other podcasts

    Yes, definitely! You'd probably still enjoy it a bit, but watching along is the optimum mode. If it helps, he only got towards the end of season 4, so it's not like you'll have to slog through the ever-diminishing returns. (edited previous post with link)
  12. Other podcasts

    It's been recommended previously but: The X-Files Files with one of the actors from Silicon Valley.
  13. I also posted it here on the 18th! I'm guessing that would be too late for my post to be where Nick (?) saw it though. I actually haven't listened to the last 20 minutes of the 'cast yet, which I guess is where the discussion of the new style occurs (I came to the thread early because I wanted to post about how Selina Kyle doesn't literally get brought back from the dead by the cats in Batman Returns), but assuming I've gathered accurately from this thread what the plan is, I'm all for it. Talk about whatever you like, some of that being video games sometimes. I will definitely continue to listen. (And as a Kickstarter backer, I appreciate you trying new things out to keep it fresh and sustainable.)
  14. Are those scores out of ten? How the hell is Clueless getting scored so low by either gender?!
  15. [RELEASE] Business Guys On Planes

    Is that the new voices or the old ones? Also: it takes loads of extra effort to build female characters? Give me a break, you misogynist dev!
  16. New forum: Movies & Television!

    Well, Jake was making incomprehensible threads about Grand Moff Tarkin...
  17. Best Films of 2016

    It is, but they also released it theatrically at its full runtime, apparently.
  18. The Next President

    Pfft, I listened to you lot when you said he wasn't going to get elected the first time.
  19. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

    Something I like about AOTC as a title is that it's a total mislead so when Yoda shows up leading the clones to help the heroes in the final battle, it's an effective surprise.
  20. The Next President

    Because it's going to be eight years.
  21. Ooh, new weapon, exciting! Also, I look forward to piecing together a story about clumsy builders.
  22. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

    I never understand people thinking Star Wars titles are cheesy/lame etc. Even Ewan McGregor ripped on the Attack Of The Clones title in the press. They're supposed to be cheesy! They're homaging the old Flash Gordon serials, as are the title rolls etc. As Roderick points out, they match the lame original titles perfectly!
  23. The Big FPS Playthrough MISSION COMPLETE

    Mmmm, but with fewer spreadsheets.
