"know what medium you use" - i don't care if it'd make a great film noir, it's freaking color movie and it looks like some cheap brit-tv production (full brightness, sharp shadows, overlayed with a too blue white balance don't make you flat look like 4 o'clock in the morning)... i know there's a lot of stuff in the picture aesthetics related to the emotions of the characters, but it doesn't really work.

also the character development is really little. they don't evolve, they just switch states... they don't react logical to what's happening around them and keep in mind what happened, but they only react to what's within theyr current scene which is totally weird. When they talk at that pool table after the ceremony Tom Cruise should be totally full of hate at that guy but he's more or less cry-baby and doesn't seem to care too much.

maybe i just need to watch the movie a few times to fully get it, but first impression was very meh (apart from the ceremony)

that scene looks totally wrong lit (much too bright, much too vivid colors for the mood of the scene and the persons involved)

edit2: come to think of it: that looks like raw-footage (as shot) without any color balancing or pp)...

eyes wide shut aired yesterday night... was zapping through and it was on a channel i didn't even know about before... i'm a bit disappointed. most of the scenes were shot with totally bland light set up and the plot is just fuckin' nuts... looks like the only really decent scene is that ritual posted and the rest of the movie is more or less only fill material...

set up a meeting with warby and folks and we will do super nerdy crowd-skyping in the bar...

the wolfenstein monster looks kind of weird and it's "funny" to see somethings didn't change from when I worked on this (at least no updates shown) that look not-so-great (in comparsion) and other things that worked perfectly fine (like the old det-pack) have been reworked over and over again.

awesome effect:

ask furyo if he can take you as carry-on baggage. you might want to lose some weight though (only 20 kg for co allowed)

use ClicknBuy - works like a charm and is set up in less than 10 minutes.

yes, michael and i were discussing this just the other evening. i'd say we go for something simmilar to last time? good drinks and food first and then check out some smaller pubs for the fun? and we should ask at polycount again as well.

I'd be all in for the hq's-tour as well.

There are translations of shakespeare and some of them are very good. http://%7boption%7d is an except from the translation and it shows how good that works (although the original version is still the "true" one. Schlegel - the translator, lived only a good 150 years later than shakespeare (little compared to our 400 years timespan) and captured the feelings very nice (it might be also helpful that his brother friedrich is one of the founders of the german romantic and brother in law to Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy (who wrote the overtoure of the hebrids - fingal's cave). So he had a very good insight into what makes good german language and what made good english language.

and the rhein-main-neckar area (Frankfurt to Mainz to Heidelberg and the Odenwald) - Three completely different cities each with a huge historical background next to each other and the Odenwald is one of the most beautiful areas to discover here.

i doubt english to have the largest vocabulary.

trying to read books in theyr original version as it most probably shows most of what the author wanted to say. what i wonder the most is how people can read Goethe, Buechner and Schiller and stuff like this in a translated version?

the vertigo at around 0:15 is amazing O_o

if you like miranda you should watch chuck (tv series)

i think the art style is pretty spot on. although there are little objects of that size in the actual maps (only containers) i think it fits pretty good. you might want to do a wood version maybe as well (like the cow you can place in the skybox) with just a good render for the texture.

the thing is that there's a special german version, so maybe that's why this screws up. try sending a support ticket.

these avatar forums tend to become a new internet phenomenem

for sake of the awesomeness of that place:

use mapcore but don't dare to ever make a bad game with it!

i beat it first try in about 10 minutes. it has some nice idea about narration but you can easily screw it (jump right at the begining doesn't affect you at all and stuff).

thumbs up for experimentation and presentation

thumbs down for implentation

needs more riot cop zombies (seems like you're going L4D1 though?)

yeah it looks like you took photos of the cinque terre there and combined them and then just threw the hand painted citadel on it. it looks cool for a mood picture though.
