On that note, do any of y'all have other global, general orientation questions that you use? I have asked what 2+2 is because while a math question, its so basic, it shouldn't actually activate the computational section of the brain unless they are like 6 years old.

I watched most of it a few months ago after powering through a pretty rough Park Chan-Wook (lady vengeance) and needed something pleasant and familiar. Just kept watching more and more scenes in it. That list is in ranked order so it's really weird they dropped the ball on that specific movie.

Dune II was the original RTS and getting to play it when it came out was absolutely revelatory. My friend and I still quote it occasionally. "WORMSIGN." "HARKONNEN UNIT... HAPPROACHING". etc. It was basically remastered with Dune 2000, which you can still play on a modern system I believe, and it's worth an hour or five for a solid hit of nostalgia now and again. AOE2 was really really good too. Somehow I never had or played the command and conquer games. I was poor when they came out and I think I was playing a shitload of Civ and just never went in on it.

C&C Remastered is on Steam and it's an awesome way to relive the past. The pack comes with OG C&C and Red Alert plus their expansions. It's only 20 bucks!

Back in that era I was visiting Hong Kong yearly and buying tons and tons of bootleg game CD's and I remember this one RTS I've never been able to find anything out about, I suspect the game was never released. There were 4 factions, kinda starcraft style gameplay, one of which were fully plant units and another that were these weird salamandar monk looking guys with psionic powers. Game was really neat but would inevitably crash after like 20 minutes. I probably enjoyed Total Annihilation the most out of RTS's. Just building gigantic defense networks and watching the AI throw endless numbers of enemies at it. Just fun to watch. Terribly balanced and so many utterly useless units, but man they were cool, no matter how long it took them to setup, start launching the slowest, inaccurate projectiles imaginable. trevorreznik posted:It's a lot of fun.

Man, I love Sympathy for Lady Vengeance. The scene with the parents and the videos is one of the most intense scenes I've sat through in any movie

I acknowledge that AOE2 is a much better game, but I'll always have a soft spot for AOE1. I was a Nintendo Kid, and that and Myst were the first two PC games that I played that really stuck in my young brain as "wow you could never do this on a console".

Then have them do simple commands. Point to the ceiling with your right hand and floor with left. Then standard orienting stuff otherwise. I find command stuff is good because on folks who may not otherwise present confused will manifest it there.

Fond memories of telling my mom not to pick up the phone as I played Warcraft 1 against my friend down the street over TCP/IP on my 25 mhz computer. Our strategy was sit around until you can summon 4 demons or water elementals, then attack. It is probably not the preferred meta now. There were like 5 Mac games back then, so everyone with a Mac had a similar library.

Grozz Nuy posted:That's the one I'm talking about, it's just weird calling it 'The Batman'. I appreciated that they actually made the effort of showing Batman doing detective poo poo. The Nolan movies more felt like he was just making action movies that happened to have Batman in them, Reeves feels like he understands the nature of those characters better while still finding a way to translate them into a more realistic setting. Cosmonaut Variety Hour recently did a two video series on all the Batman movies on his Youtube channel, and something he pointed out about the Nolan movies that I very much agree with is that starting with TDK is that Nolan really seems to have resented the fact that he was making superhero movies (and even if that wasn't true for TDK, it was for Rises)

Bird in a Blender posted:I did the same thing. I thought Christopher Reeves and then I thought he was talking about the 60's Batman movie because I conflated Christopher Reeves with Adam West. To be fair, the 60's Batman movie rocks so I totally believe someone thinking that's the best one. George Reeves. Christopher Reeve. One day, people will get this right.

The sequence of Bruce running the computations to match the bullet fragments is, like, 40 seconds.

Also, just finished watching justice League and it deserves the hate it gets. They tried to cram way too much into two hours and it feels rushed, and the CG is bad, especially for Cyborg.

It is the rare disaster of a movie that I have zero desire to ever re-watch, because it isn't even fascinatingly terrible (like, say, the Raul Julia Street Fighter movie, the Stallone Judge Dredd, things of that ilk). It's just bad.

I'm friends with a guy who was in the core design group on Total Annihilation and then was the lead for the sequels and anytime anything remotely related to RTS games comes up he mentions his work on Total Annihilation, lol. There's a new game in the works that will combine traditional RTS with Factorio style resource production but I don't know if there's any slated release date yet.
