Not a gun, but a paycheck. Acting will always be a buyer's market, that's why collective bargaining is needed.

I think we are at odds here because we are not seeing eye to eye on what "success" means in that context. If you mean commercial success, I guess it always was obvious to everyone involved that indie games were not and are not the goose laying the golden eggs, but there really are few of those...

It makes sense that screaming all day should come with some strenuous/hazardous work bonus. I wonder if it's something you can train to muscle/reinforce to prevent injuries. I assume professional singers do such things, but I wonder if voice actors do too.

There was a wave on indies in the '80s that would make small run of games on tapes that were sold in consignment in electronic stores in their neighborhood. The 2nd wave of indies though, the one that started in the early 2k with games like Uplink, that predates Steam or indie focused efforts...

I convinced myself it's photochopped because the shadows on the plane don't have the same direction than those on the ground. And I don't care if I am wrong!

The norm for emissions are also different and more stringent in the US. Partly for ecological reasons and partly for thinly veiled protectionism reasons. Apparently, to take a Euro compatible diesel car and make it US compatible, you really need to redesign the engine and that's a very costly...

Don't.

There are games that try to very closely emulate the aesthetic of historic machines, but this game is not one of them! If anything, it looks like an early flash game.

When you think of it... isn't it surprising that competitors didn't figure it out almost immediately? Or do car manufacturers don't analyse in depth the products of their competitors?

Is it me or with this mop Pitt looks like Redford?

Q: Did you play Robert Yang's Rinse & Repeat?

Are you colorblind?

Shower with your dad is a disappointment because the game itself is really lame. Seeing the trailer I thought it would be something over the top crazy likeMuscle March on the Wii, but nope.

It would be funny to be a fly on the walls of the legal department at VW right now. If they were not consulted on the legality of this trick, they must be really really pissed off, and if they were consulted and green lighted it, they must be very very scared.

Not today, but yesterday. Watching TV, I stumbled upon a subject about the psychiatric section in the local prison and one of the mentally ill prisoners they interviewed was a former middle school classmate of mine. That was weird.

That's the part where I want to recommendThe Summit of the Godsand wonder why there is only a partial english language release in the UK.

I had to screen grab this for the 12 year old in all of us. No photochop.

Well... I was looking forward to see what the resident experts on rugby had to say about the surprise win of Japan over South Africa... only to realize there is no Rugby World Cup threadSo now there is one! And, yeah... Rugby World Cup in England. It started Friday and will last until the end...

Yeah, they are looking for the "freshest" ball to help the serve. Depending on the conditions of play, the balls can get fluffy rather fast. In damp conditions, they also absorb moisture, even more so when they end up rolling on the wet covers that are folded at the back of the court or land in...

This managed to be even more frustrating than the Wimbledon final. Djokovic started the match very well and with a mind set that was way more aggressive than in his previous matches of the tournament. Federer, on the other hand, had a nervous start. Maybe feeling the pressure of the moment...

Day 12: And only two were left standing. DJOKOVIC[1] played a decent, solid match, but Cilic [9] certainly did not. Bothered by his swollen ankle and missing a lot, the defending champion meekly sent the World N?1 to the final. vs FEDERER[2] looked at first like he had a tough day at the...

Well... Vinci has a career Grand Slam in double and has been ranked 11 at her best, so she can play tennis. I thought her lack of power would be a deal breaker but... apparently not. I just saw two highlight points (constructions followed to the net for drop volley winners), so I am not sure...

Day 10: We have our semi finals. DJOKOVIC[1] started his quarter final match against Lopez [18] in a frenzy. In less than 20 minutes, he was leading 5-0, putting in play meaningful return after meaningful return in play, alternatively finding the baseline, the feet of the serving and...

Day 8: We have our quarter finals! DJOKOVIC[1] was a bit passive against Bautista Agut [23]. Not the greatest of idea against a guy that barely misses a ball from the back of the court and who is very able to built offensive patterns with his no non-sense brand of tennis. As the spaniard was...

A trailer for Mushroom 11 since we got a double dose of Below:

Day 6: 3 down, 4 to go! SEEDICIDE: Ferrer[7] got overpowered by a surprisingly consistent Chardy [27]. Nadal[8] was leading Fognini [32] by two sets and a break. At that point I suspect many people went to bed as it was already pretty late. I almost did, and it was a good idea that I...

Day 4: Round 2 is done and dusted! SEEDICIDE: In a match I did not see, the 17th seed Dimitrov found himself two sets to love down against the underrated Kukushkin. The bulgarian forced a fifth set, but lost it 6-4, continuing to eat the long shit sandwich that is 2015 for him...

Well... better nate than lever. After 2 hot and humid days (that played a part in a sad record of 10 retirements), the first round is complete. SEEDICIDE: Last year finalist and N?4 seed Nishikori had the misfortune of an early exit. It was already a bit unlucky to draw unpredictable...

Isn't there a NPC you can summon near by? I don't remember having that much trouble with him.

There were some great great things in MGS3, but I mostly remember it for having a ridiculously long timer for things to go back to normal after being noticed. It was so stupid that whenever possible I just ran to the next check point and died to quickly respawn a check point further and with no...

In case you missed it, the Sherlock Holmes movies came well after he married Madonna.

Well... I guess the format of the thread pushes me toward this pretty artificial 'blurby' style, it's true that I turn it a bit into a writing exercise! And no, I have never been paid to write blurbs before. I have been paid to write reviews though, but not of books. I also sorta worked in...

US OPEN AROUND THE CORNER What happened since Wimbledon: Nadal won a tournament! Hambourg, a 500 on clay... and then, while playing decent tennis, he lost to Nishikori in Canada and to a very inspired Lopez in Cinci. Djokovic, World N?1 and Wimbledon Champion, played some topsy turvy matches...

Huh? Is it me you are asking? Paid to do what?

I saw it in a festival a couple months ago. A fun little film that avoids the temptation of just being a joke and manages to have a solid story structure the whole way through. The girl's character is very funny.

Just readThe Windup Girl, a neo-noir thriller set in a dystopian future of global warming and terrible energetic woes as fossil fuel are going the way of the dodo and genetic plagues of multiple nature decimated people, crops and animals. The book follows a number of flawed characters in the hot...

Also, in the "think of the children!" social bullshit catalog, Putin's party, after fighting "gay propaganda" is now trying to ban naturism...

If I have a single complaint to formulate is that the number of unwanted pregnancies from deadbeat fathers is more than a little hard to swallow, even with the touching letter from the hard working latino mother. Also Spallone is a bit of a caricature, but it could very well be true to life...

Soooo.... Xbox Half?

There is a lot of neo-classic synthwave in there, so let me ad a bit of post-modern (as in: omg wtf is going on!):
