If only Bethesda would put this much thought and effort into anything

I like to think that his current, uncommentated videos bring him joy to make, as opposed to the commentated ones which were apparently unenjoyable to make at best and elaborate acts of self-harm at worst. I certainly hope that he enjoys making them as much as I enjoy watching them.

Legit question about fo76 in the fo76 thread: does cripple affect the sb and sbq wings?

It's supposed to, but the big revision patch a few weeks back broke the effect. Also if they can't find a place to land they won't.

Also also the aforementioned patch broke how the SB Queen scales per player so she doesn't just get DR buffs for everyone actively fighting her, she gets it for everyone on the server making her potentially incapable of taking damage. So nukes are kinda useless outside of Glowing One farming.

The general hype and public sentiment about that movie was loving insane. People were gushing about it, mind-boggling amounts of people went to see it, then it all just loving vanished and now no one gives a flying gently caress about it.

It's like one of those mass hallucinations gripped the country and we all just shrugged and pretended it never happened. Gonna guess some James Cameron contract with the devil poo poo kicked in? Hell, I thought it was dumb as gently caress before and after watching it, but I still went with my friends to go see it in theaters. Crazy times.

I have come to the conclusion that this is just James Cameron now. The same thing is happening with Alita right now. No one will remember that movie in five years but fuckin EVERYONE I know is going to see it, whether they seem genuinely interested or not.

Alita was projected to bomb but it's well on it's way to half a billion dollars. People forget it's actually a Robert Rodriguez film, they see Cameron's name and just turn up

It’s a really good remake of Ferngully.

Edit: except it’s not as good as Ferngully and doesn’t have a lizard voiced by Tone Loc.

I would say it's Ferngully mixed with Dances with Wolves, but yeah it was a supremely weak script that I honestly felt a bit embarrassed for Cameron when he said in interviews he'd been working on it for a decade.

He wrote it over a weekend then spent a decade working on the tech/vfx.

It definitely shows, he should have at least looked over it again before they started rolling and realized how generic it was, but the movie kind of fell into the same trap as the star wars prequels where the technical aspects were more important than the story they were telling.

Cameron's entire body of work has been stitching together different source material and slathering it in fantastic FX / audio design / sharp editing.

Terminator is based on an episode of the outer limits (Cameron admitted it), aliens is entirely scene for scene derivative of Galaxy of Terror, a film he did FX work on in 1981. Not knocking the man, but he hasn't had an original idea in his life. His execution is exceptional.

i thought terminator was from a fever nightmare he had while lying on the couch?

(i heard he imagined a skeleton robot reaching a bony hand through flames trying to get to him)Maybe it was bullshit now i think of it.

Terminator was based on a short story written by Harlan Ellison called "Soldier of Tomorrow". Ellison adapted it to tv for The Outer Limits and successfully settled out of court with Cameron for plagiarism. The credits of Terminator had to cite Ellison, as part of the settlement.

Watch Avatar (in proper 3D if you can) if you want to see a significant step forward in the technology of filmmaking, which is what Cameron excels at, not for anything else.

On topic, I tried playing my Steam copy of New Vegas and it crashed so hard my computer shut down. Fallout sucks.
