OldMemes posted:Super 8 is notable for the point where it became apparent that Elle Fanning was a better actress than Dakota Fanning. I've just watched the first episode of Stranger Things, and it reminds me of James Rolfe's videos where he's talking about something nostaglic - that sweet and honest sentimentality and earnestness. What's wierd is that Doug rarely seems to pull that off, and talking about nostalgia is literally his own thing. It's also another reason why he doesn't do top fuckups, that would mean admitting to a poo poo ton of dirt that he and his fans happily ignore. EDIT: Anyone still defending NMS? I really would like to see a counter argument other than "you see they were forced to rush this title and were pressured into marketing their little game with false advertisement by the AAA publishing and hype machine." Seriously that ending, a slap in the face, some people got really pissed off that the hard sci fi and themes in Interstellar became Space Love Time Magic tm, now imagine instead of an ending, the movie just does a zoom out of the galaxy and just ends. You don't get resolution or closure, you don't get a handcrafted planet made with care, or new tech or autotranslate alien language or noneuclidian tier environments, just a zoom out cutscene.

rudecyrus posted:I wonder why so much stuff was cut. Was it really a case of being pressured to release? There's really no way to know. The cynical thing is that we got Peter Molyneux'd and straight up lied to, this is supported by the fact that they were saying really cagey things hinting at stuff like this weird pseudo-multiplayer system weeks before the original release date. Other things it seems like they should have the technology for (e.g. ships landing in odd places on the planets and not just at stations, or large brontosaurus-like animals, as showed in trailers), others were probably just too ambitious from the start like factions warring over territory or having no static NPCs at all just procedural characters. Others were likely balancing problems like the ship variety; there would literally be no reason to buy anything other than a hauler with a massive inventory, so why bother having different classes of ships? The biggest issue here is that Hello Games, and Sean Murray in specific, has always been extremely vague and dodges tons of questions. We literally cannot say what got cut and why, what was never attempted, or if he's just flat out lying to hype his game (or what mixture of all of that it is, I expect that even if he was lying, some of the stuff we saw really was intended to exist).

The fact that we have gone dangerously close to prophetic with "Are there Bad Good movies" scares me on a level I didn't know I could feel. Though since he hasn't made another editorial in a while maybe he learned to stop slightly less inane content. Todd made another music review https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMZmwkeB-I8

More to the point: Why does he still fail and let a few "fucks" get through? Is it a rating thing, like how PG 13 movies can get one f bomb?

Oh man, when Todd brought up that song by Calvin Harris, imagine being a merchandiser who had to check on about 15-20 displays a month and had to test out 4-6 headphones per display ensuring that not only they worked, but that the song properly looped so I had to listen through the demo entirely multiple times. That song, Safe and Sound from Capital Cities and for whatever reason Catch My Breath by Kelly Clarkson. Those songs are in my head permanently

So are there any sort of threats out in space? Nothing that you need to shoot, other than asteroids? I want to give Hello Games the benefit of the doubt here, considering how vague the promotional material for NMS is, and how bare the experience apparently is?

Spark That Bled posted:So are there any sort of threats out in space? Nothing that you need to shoot, other than asteroids? There are pirates that scan your ship and attack you, and space combat isn't really great. Some people flat out alt+f4 if they have to do space combat which is a massive overreaction from my point of view, it's not that awful IMO, but it pretty much amounts to "jousting". It is not a flight sim of any reasonable description, and you basically win if you have sufficiently upgraded shields and weapons, and/or have enough materials on hand to recharge your shields in combat (which takes going through like 3 menus which don't pause the game). It's made worse by the fact that you're usually attacked by 3-4 or more units at once (I've seen 18 in one rare instance involving warping into a group of freighters), and can't run away. Even if you can win mopping them all up is really tedious. The main problem at play here is that "ship upgrades" are strict numerical upgrades to shields or weapon damage, and take up inventory slots. There's no hint of any system where ships handle, shoot, or absorb damage any differently from each other. The only thing different (other than inventory size) is gun placement, which is known about mostly because the generator has made a handful of ships that shoot themselves because of bad gun placement.

Kim Justice has another excellent documentary up, this time on Psygnosis. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvYlxnHOY-Q I'm always impressed by the sheer amount of research that Kim puts into these videos. And to think she releases one just about every week. How does the bastard keep it up? The game I associate most with Psygnosis, other than Lemmings of course, is Ecstatica. Did you ever play that Kim?

Brad's at 97% funded for Jesus, Bro. Final push. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/jesus-bro-movie/ He added a new $75 reward tier with extra DVDs. I upgraded from $30 to that. I'd upgrade further if there was a slightly higher tier that included all the Stoned Gremlin DVDs.

Tracula posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jyi5FFUmE0w The camera in this is really bugging me. Like, that's a constructed set, right? Someone built that, you can see that it has a top, it's just a standing wall in a bigger room. poo poo, later in the review they actually show the bottom of it, and it's totally free-standing. So why is the camera lens so wide an angle that you've got pincushion distortion? Is there actually a wall right behind the camera? You're in a giant room, just move the wall back. Why is the camera so low that it's looking up his nose? How the gently caress do you get a giant drat studio space while still not knowing how to frame a basic shot?

Also, a quick Wikipedia wormhole reveals that Jason Derulo's birth name is actually Desrouleaux, which is the biggest waste of a awesome birth name in favor of a lame stage name since Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta and Aliaune Damala Bouga Time Bongo Puru Nacka Lu Lu Lu Badara Akon Thiam.
