Not sure if it's the stupidest or coolest of ideas : linking 8 midi keyboards to a SNES so you can perform game music live using the actual sound hardware. Warning : the begining is a bit rough. I assume it's because using three channels to do a reverb effect is all well and good when you...

As mentioned before, I recommend the animated companion piece to this film called Seoul Station. If you are interested in more korean zombie films, I can think of two. The first is Rampant, which is a big budget costume action drama with zombies. Not a great movie but an interesting mix I guess...

Your theory is interesting @Fucker , but I don't find particularly surprising that an actress who did 3 movies a year when she was in her early 20s works at a slower pace in her late 20s (and is a millionaire). In 2019 she only was in a supporting part in Dark Phoenix, but also got married. She...

I feel it is worth watching as there are many good scenes and good ideas in the film, it's just that they do not coalesce properly and are used to poorly tell a dumb story.

It's a bit surprising that Parasite can be nominated in both the best film and the best foreign film categories... though I think it did happen before ? The title is Pain and Glory and, considering it's a Spanish film, your little tirade is a bit silly. I have not seen the film yet, but I know...

That Mushihimesama Futari run was absurdly tense by the end because he was running out of resources (lives and the bombs that come with them). Clutching it and the reciting a Bukowski poeme as celebration was pretty epic !

Favorite is a strong word, but a memorable opening is the one of Birth. A fascinating film that I am not sure to really like, but what a prologue !

@Sevens Not my favorite, but when it comes to long shot opening the classic reference is Touch of Evil :

It might be because you have the OP ( Pasteton ) on ignore.

Just saw Portrait of a Lady on Fire. It's a french film that was released around here 4 months ago and that will be released in the US in a month or so. The genius of the film is that anyone who saw its trailer or heard its pitch (18th century woman painter goes to a remote island where she has...

@Mist To reuse a comparison I made for the pretty flawed The Tree of Life : Perfectly jumping over a chair is less impressive than attempting to jump over the moon and almost making it. That said, I much prefer the Martian over Interstellar. And I also prefer The Tree of Life over both so my...

@Xadion that one chick is Claudia Gerini and she stars it a pretty bad italian erotic horror thriller titled Tulsa. I found this homage to giallo (a type of italian films mostly produced in the '70s based on the type of stories found in cheap paperback novels - giallo means yellow in italian and...

This movie is bad on many levels. The main offenders for me are: - Most characters are very poorly written. On one hand you have a bunch of uninteresting, unfunny caricatures, on the other you have that undefined mess that is Craig's character. - The core of the plot should have been the nurse...

Too tough. Even if I break things into categories, I can't decide. Is the best comedy The Death of Stalin, The Names of Love, Pee Mak or One Cut of the Dead ? Is the bloated pop-corn flick of the decade Baahubali, Battleship Island, The Taking of Tiger Mountain or Assassination ? Is the best...

I went to see it somewhat reluctantly because Norton's character seemed a bit silly, but I was pleasantly surprised. It's nothing very original for this type of story, but it works well and several key scenes are very well delivered (Baldwin for best supporting actor ?). Also we don't get to see...

@Caliane I have not played Edith Finch, but I can tell you Outer Wilds has almost nothing to do with Firewatch. Also, unless it somehow shows up as some twist in the end, there is no pretentious meta-narration of any kind. This game will be studied and replicated for things like content density...

@Dandai that's the part where I have to make sure you are talking about Outer Wilds (a game about exploring a strange solar system about to die that has very little randomness and no equipment or leveling of any sort other than knowledge - so not really a rogue-like ?) and not The Outer Worlds...

Just a bump and an update : we are not done yet (probably another couple Thursdays needed), but I feel it is a milestone game. A game that might not find the huge audience it deserves but will be played by just about every game developer worth their salt and influence their work.

Just played through Breath of Fire (US version on the Switch's official SNES emulator). I played the japanese version at the time of its release so... a little more than 26 years ago. Meh. I did not have clear memories of the game so I was curious to check it again in english to be able to have...

Played some Outer Wilds today. It's a single player space exploration game packed full of strange ideas, Many exploration games are a huge quantity of nothing with a little mysterious something sprinkled over it, and I guess it works ok in a semi-contemplative way. Here though, it's like the...

Aren't these just factorization exercises ? Like 72 / 4 = n * 9 is (9 * 4 * 2) / 4 = n * 9 so you can remove the 9s on both sides and remove the 4s on the left and you get 2 = n ?

Trolling in musical form by Aphex Twin back in the '90s. All together insufferable, insane and hilarious. Don't play it too loud headphone users!

Must play for me. Also it's translated by Tim Rogers, so I have to support that!

Why are we hating on Eisenberg exactly? Because he is good at portraying annoying people?

Looks like Burning Man for ugly people :(

Both have a fever dream kind of feel. It's not as extreme in Ad Astra as in Trier's movie, but there is a number of movies where it's cranked to 11. My Winnipeg, Hard to be a God, The Hourglass Sanatorium...

The problem is that the first film is about the innocent kids vs the corrupted adults and the entity that corrupt them (or feed on their corruption) and that ceases to work when you bring the characters back as adults. You get some children, but almost no other adults, so suddenly it becomes...

It's funny how some people are like "*sob* *sob* it's not the joker I know" when 87658765 authors wrote 87658765 versions of the Joker in comics.

People who published books in 1965 and were teenagers during WWII are likely to be dead in 2019. In the specific case of this author, he died almost 30 years ago.

The first thing that spring to mind is solving a clever puzzle in Snatcher. It's a japanese style text adventure game by Hideo Kojima which is a mix of Blade Runner, Terminator and Invasion of the Body Snatchers. The thing is I played it in japanese with very limited notion of the language and...

Going from memory here, but I think the theatrical cut of Lynch's Dune is with his name, but there is a shorter made for TV cut that is credited Alan Smithee? EDIT: wikipedia says this, so it MUST be true!

I know that Tarentino Mannix project is a joke, but it's very strange seeing that because no later than last week I mentioned Mannix to a friend and we were surprised it did not get turned into a movie given Hollywood's recycling tendencies.

Are there enough Super Mario Maker 2 players around here to make it worth creating a topic to share cool levels / makers / stuff we made?

YouTube recommendation algorithm works sometimes. The number of views makes me feel a bit guilty I did not know about it sooner but heh.

Played and beat Zelda 2 for the first time not long ago. I should have Simon's Quest somewhere and have not played it since... well... its release I guess :/

How do players eliminate opponents? Are we talking first person shooter type of actions? I never played PlanetSide, but you might want to check how it worked. It was a persistent game though, so I am not sure how the territory back and forth worked exactly. I am sure some people on the board...

How long is a game supposed to be and what do you have in mind for the capture of territory and push back of the opponents? Is it like, say, PlanetSide?

The Turbo Duo was one of the first CD Rom based console and it had an internal memory for the save files of CD games. It also played ROM based games (on a physical format called HuCards), one of which was Bomberman '94. As it was a 5 players game, I brought it to a gaming party at my PnP RPG...
