  • So are video games art?

    I think art has and will always have a very simple definition. If the person creating it says "this is art" than it is. It is no one's right but the artist to give or take that away.

    So when people who make or work on games deem their creation art, it sure is.

  • Matte, bored, Purgatory.

    Maybe I'm reading too far into it, but :

    What are you trying to say here?

    That this older man is interested in the other side? That perhaps the grass being greener on his side doesn't actually equate to livability. That he's actually bored and sometimes the bad and the good colliding is really what makes life worth living?

    Drawing these messages out a bit could be interesting.

    I get this feeling that a professional dev team could do one hundred times better looking stuff.

    was this a burn on ritual?

    i would like to second the, looks like a mod feeling that this bequethed me with.

  • Mapcore Mappack (i.e. Mapkorpak)

    That's worse actually. We want the people who can make art doing it for specific maps so each map is different and really solid. If they just create some shit, it will be the same shit as always like bricks and whatever.

    and the world does not need more bricks.

    mapper > artist > mapper type work flow.

  • Mapcore Mappack (i.e. Mapkorpak)

    Well I think the idea is not to have the maps actually finished on the deadline (although I do this this one is a tad close.) But to have everyone rough out their ideas into a playable level with a cool theme using pretty basic texture sets and model sets. Then we pick the best five and have most of mapcore concentrate their efforts (like textures and models) in improving the theme to be much stronger.

    We could have the polishing stage take another month if we wanted, and be sending out screenshots of finished areas to pimp it up during that time period.

  • James Bond?

    On her majesty's secret service is NOT considered one of the worst bond movie's of all time. It's awesome. Bond get's married and she gets killed and he goes all bibledy.

    The timothy dalton years could be considered the worst... come on, sledding on a CELLO???

    Quote from The Postman

    "YOU WANT ME? TAKE ME. TAAAAKE MEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!"I think stones about bad dialogue should remain pocketed until further notice

    Oh I'm sorry you tried to nullify my points by insulting my work. That's a really prick thing to do. As if to imply by one line that was misdelivered, by one of you friends no less, somehow makes me a bad writer whose opinion about any particular piece of dialogue is somehow moot.

    But hey, you're obviously right. You made a fairly innocent thread about a movie where we could share opinions; into a personal attack. Having now seen the light, King Kong was obviously great.

    Thanks Ted.

  • King Kong

    I pretty much despised it so greatly I went a bit limp halfway through. The characters seemed to be making choices (through UNBELIEVABLY BAD DIALOGUE) that resembled that of people in horror movies. AKA what's the most obvious way to get myself killed for the stupidest reason possible.

    Some examples:

    -What 18 year old kid in their right mind after seeing 20 FUCKING DINOSAURS GET IN A FIGHT AND DIE and many of his shipmates, whom he asummedly cares about, decides now is the time to prove himself? He gets so caught up in trying to convince his superiors that he can fight that it becomes ridiculous, even to the point of trying to prove himself to a man that's already dead. What? Also HE NEVER DOES. They capture Kong and it just peters out, he never appears again.

    -Naomi Watts constant decision making process of "what stupid stunt can I pull on the edge of a 1000 foot cliff or empire state building." She does a FLIP, I shit you not, onto ROCK to make King Kong laugh... like 7 inches from the edge of a cliff.

    In other words I pretty wrote off every character in the movie for motivations that don't make any sense at all. Including Kong himself. It's shown early in the movie what Kong does with all the barmaids that the disgusting raisin-faced islanders give him. He kills them.

    So lemme get this straight Naomi's Watt's annoying bad character... He's killed all the girls before you... he's killed half the crew you grew to love and dance with on the ship (which is made a big point early on.) He tried to kill your love interested Jack a NUMBER of times. He's kills hundreds if not thousands in New York. AND YOU STILL ARE LIKE OMG SRSLY DONT KILL HIM PLZ!

    You lady are retarded and deserve to die.
