Just played Journey and all I can say is wow. Not played a game for awhile but fancied something so figured it would be a quick blast. I don't want to say a single thing about it as it can spoil the impact it has but seriously everyone should give it a go.

Turn the lights off, sit in an empty room for 2 hours and enjoy.

Yep, No one understands gaming like he does.

He will then get pissed and leave again and cycle repeat

Cause we all know he's the only one that does that.

Thing you have to realize is that the animatronics in Jurassic Park, specifically the T-Rex, were breaking down CONSTANTLY. Wasting valuable time for everyone involved. CGI at the time was the simple solution to the pain in the ass work days on the set, never having to worry about whether something looked too fake or broke down. It made alot of people's visions realized (T-1000 in Terminator 2, which was an idea Cameron wanted in the first movie but couldn't do it).

That being said, practical effects have their place. I was on set for the AVGN Movie and I can tell you they were doing alot of practical effect stuff cause James Rolfe loves them too. Hell, i'd love to use robots and things like that too. There's at least one project i'm doing that DEMANDS a real physical little robot to be puppeteered by someone behind the camera. But i'm aware of the limitations of the technology. You can't just have a big puppet organic creature with limited mobility and expect it to look convincing. That's where CG comes in. But even with CG, people tend to overanimate them and risk them looking really fake.

It's not a surprise if your expecting it.

Being prepared and expecting something are two completely different notions, fool.
Whatever. I fucking hate you. This place turned shit (or stayed shit depending on how you look at it) when they let you back here. I was expecting I would not mind you now, but your the same and you'll always look the same. The way you look tells people how you really are.

Your what I hate about the internet. Whatever to what you say back. What the fuck ever QWERTY.

Not at all. You're fine. I've really enjoyed seeing a pile of ex-Dojo members come back, and the trickle of new ones, as well.

And Spokane is good in my book too.

What do you expect when you bump your own topics. Not the first time you have done it either. Dont wanna get burned, dont light the fire.

There's no question of what made me well up with emotion, Grave of the Fireflies

That whole movie is just dark and depressing but specifically, what brought me the most close to tears was when he was placing his sister in the makeshift coffin, putting her belongings in there and then he pauses just for one moment to get one last look at her before he closes the lid.

That is, to this day, the saddest moment I think I have ever seen.

Use this thread to post random thoughts through out your day!

Simple tidbits are what this thread is for, not general conversation. Taken straight from the TOS:

New topics deserve new threads. For example, if you have something excruciatingly short to say, it could and should be posted in the random thoughts thread. If it is anything of value, no matter how small, create a topic. Many conversations have went overlooked because they are crammed inside pages of other conversation. This also helps boost forum activity and order.

With that, post away!

Wouldn't you be if you had your hands on one of the most lucrative franchises of all time?

With Abrams at the helm, I'm only expecting unexplained macguffins and lens flares.

And maybe a shitty, underwhelming ending.

Yeah I'm pretty fucking good you absolute bellend.

Got you an updated avatar, QWERTY.

I won't go as far to say I enjoy anything you post though because every post reeks of banality

There seems to be something about these old MIDI tunes that I like. Nostalgia for the PS1 probably plays a part (and IMO there was a "magical" quality to some of the 8/16 bit soundtracks too), but I think a part of it is how basic the composition sounds, able to spot exactly when a layer or whatever is added. I like progressive tunes for that reason, hearing the tune come together in nice easy basic steps...

Well, there is, but I think a picture of a sagging blue scrotum is against the rules.

bit of an unprovoked insult against ryudo there

They just want to try to force people to buy xbox live every year.


But none say you need Gold just a connection. The articles say its to stop 2nd hand sales but MS don't seem to care about that like others in past interviews on the subject.
It could just be like what the PS4 will do installing updates and so on.

Black sands is a great album and has some amazing individual songs but North Borders on a whole is better in my opinion. Give it a listen anyways there's no way you'll regret it.

Those are strong words coming from someone who owns a Dreamcast tissue box.

This topic has been hilarious, thank you Margaret Thatcher.

Anyone remember rotten.com?

I quickly stopped looking at shit like that though. I do sometimes give in to morbid curiosity, but usually pretty happy to just not watch shocking stuff. So I probably could be, but when it comes to forums and shocking comments anyway, we've probably seen it all.

I'm gonna hijack this thread with pictures of drugs and food in all shapes and sizes.

Excellent. It gets especially good towards the end when they mix that part from the initial previews with Pharrell's vocals.

Amazon, you bell end.

'Nuff people complaining about this being "too soft" or "derivative". Epic mongs. It's a disco record for fuck sake, OF COURSE it's gonna have a standard song structure! Stop being all mue 26 and finding flaws that don't exist.

Nah XBox music with free 30 day trial = unlimited music for the month which will do till the album comes out

It's going to be tough when your friends are drinking and you're not.
Good luck to you mate. You can do it.

I was just thinking about the fourth Chiyou Men leader, you might not have to fight him/her, he/her could be the master mind of the whole thing, the puppet master, one of those who use their minds instead of fists.

But there's pleanty of room for him/her as a boss. So far each game has had a sub-boss, and a main boss.

Shenmue1: Chai in You Arcade, and then Chai in the harbour(not counting the 70 men battle)
Shenmue2:Baihu, then DouNiu.
So my guess is; Shenmue3: Niao Sun(since half of her body was revealed in the 4CM picture) Then Lan Di. or Ziming.
Shenmue4: Lan Di or Ziming, then the fourth Chiyou Men leader, or even maybe... the Chiyou monster itself....

Well, first of all, the bandage on Ryo's face is just part of the image of the character.
I had a theory that Ryo would take-off the bandage to reveal that he has a scar like Lan Di, and will use this to disguise himself as Lan Di to infiltrait the Chiyou Men's headquarters. I think it would be very cool to run around dressed up as Lan Di.

I think a portion of the game would take place in Guilin, then Ryu would most probobly goto a more populated area, and even a possibility of going to the Chiyou Men's HQ. I remember in Shenmue2, on disk4, in Shenhua's house, when you look at one of the pictures on the wall, Shenhua tells you name of the place(Can't remember it) And she mensioned that anyone who went there, never returned, could be the Chiyou Men HQ or another organization.

As for the jobs, When talking to Shenhua in Shenmue2, they talk about what Ryo's job was, he tells her he was lifting crates, then Shenhua say's something like ''There is a similer job in my village, a man has some Cows--'' then Ryo inturupts. So the job would probobly involve Cows.
