    Looks quite interesting. Has wonderful art direction, and the gameplay concept sounds novel if perhaps a little limited in how far it can go — but then that applies to most indie games. I can't help but want to see the next Zelda game use such a style rather than the uninspiring approach Nintendo's gone for.

    That would be awesome.

    Quote from Thrik

    Being all too familiar with the kind of negative reactions you always get after a game's been hyped up the arse I'm not getting too into the quality of the game as I want to try it before doing so, but this just isn't cool:

    The fuck were they on while making this game? Hopefully this was 3D Realms' idea of humour and not Gearbox's.

    I looked up the level to see what all the fuse way about. Its really tame, not half as bad as what he mentions in that quote. What a pussy. He should stick to writing Christian novels.

    The level looks like dark 'ass' though.

  • What have you watched recently?

    Super 8

    It was very underwhelming. The story about the kids filming a zombie movie was more interesting than the main plot. The main plot felt out of place and just overly generic. Oh well.

    And to sum it all up to why it completely falls apart:

    Quote

    This movie starts out promising but then falls apart completely by the end. The main problem with the movie is that the monster has no purpose what-so-ever in the story and the film would have been great if it was just about the father son trying to find peace after the death of the mother in addition to the son coming of age with the girl and his friends by shooting a super 8 movie. That part of the movie is good, then the monster appears and not only destroys half of the town, but it goes one step further and destroys the film too. The monster is just stupid; it's not interesting and there's really nothing in the storyline of the monster that hasn't been done before. It's basically bits and pieces of other - better - movies that have already been released. The movie falls apart because for almost 3/4 of the film the monster is just background noise between the scene of the boy and girl, and his friends, all of which are interesting. Then at the end of the film these stories are abandoned completely and the monster's story - which sucks - is wrapped up in to a cgi blastoff which ends the film. Let's recap: Father and Son grieving after loss of the mother, the father is distant from his son. Climax: Father and Son hug at the end of the film. No talking about all of the previous stuff, just a hug. Son & Girl(friend) awkward relationship that blossoms in to... Climax: nothing... Monster & Military - The monster is captured, tortured and then escapes but not after killing innocent people and then being helped to escape by the kids who are scared to death of it the entire film, but then suddenly decide to help it. Which escapes in a space ship which it builds out of regular everyday items from 1979 which some how selectively magnetize themselves to the watertower (never explained, it sounds ridiculous writing this out) and then can summons thousands of miniature cubes in to a ship which just suddenly appears for no reason. There is never an explanation as to how the monster suddenly fixes his ship at the end. T Super 8 Movie - The kids are shooting this zombie film the entire god damn movie and it just becomes irrelevant at the end. Group of friends: The entire movie the son is running around with his four friends but at the end each of these friends gets cut from the ending, there is no closure on any of their stories.
