morestuff posted:Spielberg's TinTin movie is already the best new Indiana Jones we're ever going to get That'd be a shame if true. Because I found it as hollow, convoluted and characterless as Crystal Skull. And Mutt Williams 100x less obnoxious than Captain Haddock. Sad thing is, I'm holding out hope for the new Duck Tales to be a rad Jones-esque adventure series. Probably with 4 Short Rounds. After all, it inspired Raiders. If not, well, I've still got Tales of the Gold Monkey to watch I guess.

NIN (or maybe "just" Trent Reznor) did the soundtrack for the original Quake back in 97ish, I knew a goth girl who had no interest in playing videogames but carried a copy of it in her cd case because it would play the soundtrack if you put it in a normal cd player.

I was so ready to be like, "dam mami lemme describe the mechanics of this sci fi rts/rpg hybrid to you at length gurl." thinking this would impress her but then she and her dirtbag friends started crushing up altoids and snorting them, which was my cue to leave. I remember hearing a lot of screams of pain as I walked away. I don't remember if I ever spoke to her again.

I just really liked that games like Omnikron would feel (to a teenager at least) like experimental art pieces. See also Dreams To Reality. e: oh poo poo, Sacrifice too. And Messiah. Games now have just congealed into this bland sameness, afraid to even change a controller layout.

I prefer lighter roasts, and take mine with some sugar. I probably need to cut back because supposedly caffeine is bad for you when you're trying to lose weight (messes with metabolism is what I read), but it's basically the only thing that keeps me going when I'm in my office all day.

Games are doing more weird stuff than ever these days if your willing to look. The main difference is if you wanted to make a weird game before you had to go begging from company to company until someone would back you and get you in stores and now you can just make it. Acting like the 90s and early 2000s was a more creative and better time for games is always really bizarre to me.

I had an art teacher once dare a student to snort the powder at the bottom of his tin of altoids. Unsurprisingly he was fired for not having a degree.

I want a movie about his years in the early 1990s where he's a lecherous old man in a rest home with one eye who bores his grandkids with stories about his weirdly educational childhood with historical figures instead of his rad nazi-killing years. Why would a 12-year-old care about the time you met Pancho Villa? At least tell him how you got your chin scar, and whip, and hat all in the same afternoon.

But, once again, that was more because there was almost no other place for those games to get released outside of the mainstream because that's basically all there was. Like the same type if stuff is being done but there's no longer any need to try and convince a company that only cares about the bottom line to fund your weirdo project. It's not so much that weird games left the mainstream as much as it is that games divided into new ways of getting made. Also, in the end, who cares if something is in what's defined as the mainstream?
