That's awesome

(EDITED TYPO)

Yeah was a great experience to be part of, although there is not a single brush placed by me in the mod. It was originally supposed to be constituted of 3 levels (three different environments/missions), I was supposed to work on the second while Germano was on the first. He wisely decided to downsize the mod to ensure it would actually ship, so I then started working on the second map of the first level... and we quickly realised there were some noticeable artistic differences in the execution (I guess we were not mature enough to think of creating a style guide/building blocks to facilitate that), so I stopped mapping. He reused my paper designs though, the second map is based on my design, as well some bits of the third map. I ended up in charge of doing all the QA and managed the creation of the trailer.

I went through American Rust very quickly. I think everything Jeff Daniels touches is great, but I see lots of negative reviews (although many based on the first episode, lamenting the slow pace). I actually went in it without knowing anything, watching trailers etc.

Also Wrath of Man is a great revenge-heist film to watch when you don’t want to think much. It’s a Guy Ritchie-Jason Statham reunion as well.

~ I’m going through The Loudest Voice very quickly too ?

Edit: also finished Loudest Voice. Russel Crowe does the creep too well. Had no idea all this harassment happened, it feels this thing should have blown up like Weinstein.

Talking about this, you make me want to look into remaking The Long Night, an add-on my friend released for HL1, before we worked on Riot Act.

Don’t see why, they seem very proud of their engine, which looked very good to everyone. When they teased the partnership it sounded more a matter of publishing agreement/relationship with epic dumping money and being very hands off.

We’ll find out soon enough tho.

Everything this guy says about this game is #confirmationbias for me.

This is pretty much the most awesome Tech demo one could think of. ?

If you’re old enough, this will remind you of those demos/games bundled with the 3D accelerators. Lots of graphics, minimum interactivity. Almost 30 years and things have not changed.

Ja, but haven’t played HL2 mods since 2015-2016 I think. I remember that when I got my gaming laptop in 2014 I started catching up with all the great add-one like Mission Improbable, some maps from RTSL competitions (I was trying to participate as well). I think the last one I played was probably Downfall.

How good is the pad with the game? Did you play at easier setting?

I’d be up for it, problem is I can never be arsed to connect the PC to the tv, despite its a laptop, still a chore. I only do to play coop games with my partner.

Have you spotted the coffee thermos? Achievement unlocked.

Are they gonna leave something for the cinema goers?

Also

I couldn’t be arsed to wait for it to come on, plus there’s so much wasted time in between. I normally wait for the recording to be available and skip like hell all the talking heads.

BMBS is amazing

Link or it doesn’t exist.

I started to play Black Mesa almost a year ago now, and I just stopped after a few maps, last I remember I was in the office complex and going through the cafeteria, then I just had to prioritise other stuff when I was on the PC, or just preferred the ease of slumping on the couch with the pad.

That would look good in a fishing map/mode

Pretty disappointed by Spiral - from the book of Saw.

I was hoping in a return to the first Saw, but it’s incredibly cliche in every plot development. I wasn’t completely sure but I had pointed my finger at the new Jigsaw killer no later than halfway through the film saying “they’re on it for sure”.

It’s in every horror collection/event/sale. It’s very gory that’s for sure, I think to remember the reviews saying it was good in terms of thriller.

I have it but still haven’t played it.

I know, but the video from a month ago I posted ? don’t signal to me that the experience is much different from the announcement.

Sorry the skepticism devs that worked on it, but I can’t believe those reviews considering the footage had been released previously.

Must confess it makes me want to try it just to see for myself. Haven’t played any Halo tho.

Noclip is doing the documentary. Funny I’m reading the book about this!

Of course, what I mean is that Valve eventually released something, the actual being the scenes of cancelled games came out, etc… now it’s even worse than it used to be, I’m not really following the scene but it doesn’t seem there’s even much movement in the modding scene, which he also covered a bit. (Not a coincidence he changed the channel name, started branching out to other content)
