    Elite Squad rules... but I've just seen Elite Squad 2 and it manages to be 100% better. Check it out if you can

    wuut..

    Im gonna hunt you down and kill you if you're making a joke

    Just compare the IMDB reviews

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0861739/

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1555149/

    It was released just a month ago in Brazil. I believe it's going to take a while for the international version to be released. But yeah, definitely one of my favorite movies ever. Everyone in the theater cheered when Nascimento beat the shit out of a politician

    Nascimento is the brazilian Dirty Harry.... just a lil more badass...

    My problem with Minecraft is that the world feels lifeless and secure. Sure, there are some moronic zombies at night but they are only a problem during the first night really.

    I really wish the game had random events and encounters, such as changes in weather, merchants passing by or natural disasters a-la Sim City. It would rule to see a tornado coming in the distance and destroying your lil realm while you sit back and enjoy the beauty of the scene :derp:

    I once again cite Animal Crossing as an example of what I mean. That game rules so much because of the random events that make each game feel unique. It owns to start the game in the morning and see that everyone in your village is a little depressed because the weather is rainy or meet some random NPC who's passing by that day.

    Sounds like you need to explore more. You won't find a wandering merchant or a tornado, but you will find massive procedurally generated caves full of danger, different environments thanks to biomes, and the resources to mount an expedition into the Nether, a hell dimension that lets you, at risk, fast travel at an 8:1 ratio by traveling across it and then constructing an exit gate back to the real world.

    The biomes didn't do much to me because they don't change the gameplay much. The joy of finding massive caves soon wears out when you start your 3rd or 4th world too.

    I had some fun with the multiplayer but it's barely playable at this moment. A shame really but acceptable because the game is still in alpha stage.

    I can't wait to find some mods that subvert the games' rules and create interesting situations though!

    I think with Minecraft you need to think of a project to work on: water lift, house, castle, mine cart system, dungeon raids, etc. If you've no real objective in mind it'll be really boring real quick. I really liked the last update because I'm using a netherportal hidden in my house (though not very well because is constantly screams) that leads to a set of stairs and another netherportal that pops out on the floating death island. Well, that's the goal anyway; I've purposely only installed this at work so I can only do 1-2 hours a day.

    Minecraft is way too addictive, and such an impressive game in so many ways. It's always nice to see someone do what they want, completely uncompromisingly, and do so incredibly well. Though I've managed to start a perpetual forest fire in my heavily wooded biome (I'm trying to justify it by building a floating death island out of hell tiles with lava streaming over the sides).Also been playing Deadly Premonition, which I brought figuring it would be "so bad it's good," but I'm actually having a lot of fun with it. And I'm playing the new Deathsmiles Mega Black Label version 1.1 patch (of course).

    I hate to admit it but i got worn-out of Minecraft really fast. There isn't much to do in the game and the last update was a huge disappointment. It didn't add any substantial features that would justify getting back to it.

    I really hope Notch stops twitting about his office and get back to work. Or else he's gonna feel 4Chan's fury again

    [email protected], i quite liked the old batman movies and I liked the new ones. I feel for all of you that didnt think it was awesome, because thinking something awesome is awesome is an awesome feeling

    I didn't say I hate the movies. I just think they are overrated. The Dark Knight ranked #2 on IMDB's top 250 when it released. [Blocked Image: https://migrationtest.mapcore.org/public/style_emoticons/default/mapcore_smilies/emot_shakehead.gif]

    The good thing of working in a dying studio is that you can do all you ever wanted. Just like if the world ended tomorrow, you would be free to do anything. In this pic: cigarettes and whisky with the boss. A truly epic day.

    The Dark Knight is a clusterfuck imo. I don't like how they tried to force depth and meaning into the story. It's supposed to be a popcorn flick god damnit.

    That's my grudge with Christopher Nolan. While I enjoyed Inception I thought the plot was too convoluted and fuck, it's just a popcorn movie [Blocked Image: https://migrationtest.mapcore.org/public/style_emoticons/default/mapcore_smilies/emot_shakehead.gif] .

    I think he could learn a thing or two with District 9! Sorry to derail the thread but that's my definition of a fun movie: it's funny, it's clever and best of all, it's not pretentious.

    Awesome stuff Pogo!!!

    I'd darken the bright window frames of the building in the left. They create some sort of ugly high frequency noise due to the lack of texture filtering.

    Come move to Toronto Mino, and join our team!It's piss easy to get a visa to come to canada, ubi sorts out and these canadian type folk are really friendly to work with.

    I did apply to Toronto but they are only hiring senior people now. Our studio's HR manager did his best to relocate everyone but out of all people who applied, only one got a job so far (a senior programmer, he's starting in Toronto in December or January).

    What really spoiled my chances was that I had to rush to get my portfolio sent on time. I'll contact the recruiter soon when I have my portfolio updated.

    HP: I just got a little worried now for having dropped out of college when I came to Sao Paulo. I should have started another diploma but it's so damn expensive here that I'd rather go back to my hometown and finish the one I started. But then that would take another 2.5 years of my life

    It would also be nice if Dorothy shared her immigration experiences in this thread
