  1. european gamer afraid of cooties?

    I love Nausicaa. She rules all. I haven't seen the movie yet, though. The comics have more in them, apparently, and were done first.
  2. Tra la la, what a beautiful day!

    Nice one. I hadn't heard of that. Sounds like a cool course.
  3. Death to the digital canvas

    I agree almost completely. It's a big thing for me in music too. Valve guitar amps, I could rant for ages, Vinyl ladeeda. But the phrase _digital art_ for me connotates things that can only be done with a computer. There is artistry in making an interactive game, not only in the art direction and stuff, but in the actual interactive mechanics. It's totally true about the sword of damocles involved in making something with your hands compared to the comfortable womb of temporal control in a digital medium such as photshop or flash. This relates to the ubiquitous too-easy interface that reduces the general quality of output by allowing people who don't really understand their medium to create within it, and the resultant diffusion of the the concept of Art (capital A important) that inevitably comes.
  4. Question for Americans

    Don't worry, it's amusing video of my friend singing an amusing song about paedophilia while inebriated. all you see is his silly haircut and a guitar. Edit: Oh, so it wasn't health reasons. I never really thought about it much. 'Twas probably unneccessary. It's never caused me any of the aforementioned (that's a pun, that is) sex/discomfort problems, but I definitely prefer looser pants.
  5. Question for Americans

    the other option, of course, is sweet sweet paedo pussy. http://www.iol.ie/~pippen33/mackiesong.mpg this is a mate of mine and he'd kill me if he knew I was putting this here, but he doesn't, so harharhar. A quote from the maestro himself: On topic: health reasons when I was 12 or so, probably cause of my hygeine, but it's not like you get an instruction book for the thing. I reckon this dream that I brought up in an old thread was directly related to the event: http://forums.idlethumbs.net/showpost.php?p=21911&postcount=12
  6. A Scanner Darkly

    let's not forget Eraserhead. The choice of a new generation.
  7. Hitchhikers Guide - new trailer

    Actually, what about Eddie Izzard? He always seems like he knows what's going on.
  8. Games everyone likes (but really suck)

    most sports games. I presume you don't mean everyone on this forum, but everyone on the planet. DIE!
  9. San Andreas

    You might see it as a bad thing, I thought that was cool. After all the flak rockstar got about killing haitians and stuff, in SA you see gang warfare more realistically - a horrible morass of territory-grabbing death and pain that should be left behind because it makes friends and family betray each other. And stuff. windows move maker sucks a lot of ass. try increasing you paging file in your control panel->system->advanced settings.
  10. Cult band heroes: Sublime

    time to broadenify this thread a bit http://www.turnmeondeadman.net/Zep/Originals.html Zep, one of the most successful rock bands ever, covered shitloads of songs w/o crediting, but they still kick ass. Moral? ripping off people is what Music is all about.
  11. You know you've played too much [A] when [B].

    I have a big wodge of money today. mwehehe. You know you've played too much Eternal Darkness when you divide up people's bodies into glowing limbs for to hack off.
  12. Halo, what a waste of time?

    I've got a cube and a ps2 and a pc, so is there anything else worth getting an xbox for? I can't think of anything right now.
  13. Halo, what a waste of time?

    I'm not gonna get an xbox. If the only game currently on in worth getting is an average FPS, it's pointless. The technique of leaving a lot to the player's imagination is done particularly well in half-life 1&2. Although the graphics are top-notch, the whole story and setting is there in the background waiting for your imagination to fill it in. I just hope PC psychonauts' interface is properly polished for the mouse&keyboard, cause it could work really well. I was gonna write a more enthusiastic response here, but i read the Hunter S. Thompson story first. goddamn it.
  14. Hitchhikers Guide - new trailer

    i thought the bit where they all get smacked in the face with the shovels was great. and then there were no shovels.
  15. dude.

    dude.
  16. dude.

    are you insinuating that Tim is a finnĂșla? heretic!
  17. Willy Wanka & The Chocolate Factory

    it's best to be doing something else while watching that movie.
  18. Hitchhikers Guide - new trailer

    capital! good news! it should be made a capital crime.
  19. IGDA anounces GDCA nominees

    I voted for half-life2 and gish, and sanandreas for technical innovation. Seamless driving a round a whole state is difficult to implement. Even if the flying looks crap.
  20. Willy Wanka & The Chocolate Factory

    Mars Attacks and let's not forget Nightmare before Christmas I think yufo alludes to this, but I look forward to a Charlie &the Great Glass Elevator movie. it suits movieification more than the first one.
  21. He has the eye of the tiger...

    well it's a southpark joke so I obviously don't think americans are stupid. especially not them. team america is great.
  22. Resident Evil: Dead Aim

  23. He has the eye of the tiger...

    Stupid American. What do you call an American with a PhD in astrophysics and a master's degree in brain surgery? Stupid American! ahahahahahahaaaaaa.
