  1. Yeah I'm somewhat eager to use Filmmaker myself.
  2. I've watched them all at least once, and it's been a while since I last re-watched any of them.
  3. The Demon Power - Joe Hisaishi, Princess Mononoke soundtrack. Out of the whole score, I like The Legend of Ashitaka the most.
  4. Well Merle Dandride, the actor who did Alyx's voice, was also the basis for the character model.
  5. Assuming we could all have a relatively satisfactory ping. The best I've ever gotten is 200 for a South Korean server, and Australian ones don't fare all that much better. But it wouldn't stop me from trying. http://steamcommunity.com/id/anarchemitis I'm in Vancouver, what's everybody else's whereabouts?
  6. The Canadian Social Science Research Council declared in the publication "Media Piracy in Emerging Economies" that one of the major reasons Piracy is so rampant in less developed or less economically strong countries (such as Brazil, India, Bolivia) because Video Games up front are so darned expensive, thus it's hard for companies to compete with rates like "Cheap as free".
  7. All games that come close to being my favorite fall short in a few aspects, that usually render a bunch of games I like a lot into this bubble-like entity of games whose experiences I value, but none of them are my favorite. Half Life 2 and successors had me at "Rise and Shine", but ever since I watched Speedruns as well as took some levels apart in SourceSDK, I've never had the same level of awe in Source based games- that is, until Portal 2 does amazing things with the newest version. Paper Mario & The Thousand Year Door was very fun and had all sorts of interesting design choices and clever characters, but many elements of the story were markedly childish, which slightly hampered my ability to make it an ideal game. That, and some elements of grind or otherwise sluggishness of a game. Although it never stopped me from getting 100% completion. Team Fortress 2 for all its faults is objectively a fantastic game. I only wish there was some kind of story-mode single player that was all about platforming or some other kind of interesting twist of gameplay apart from the gamemodes supplemental to "Kill other players". Ace Combat Zero, being part of the Ace Combat series has one of the most well developed storylines and backstories of any video game, bordering on the level of detail like that of J.R.R. Tolkien at times, and I've always loved aircraft combat video games. But something always felt missing from many of the missions, and I have yet to discover what it is.
  8. Don't forget Ray Bradbury.
  9. I haven't seen much of Red Vs. Blue since whatever episodes there were when Church was still a glowy ball in a Desert. What season was that?
  10. Ooh, are you going to also have the Medo-Persians and/or Alexander the Great?

    Speedruns

    I would call it a massive waste of time and resources. Wasting time and resources on Video Games being played with unparalleled skill in efficiency and speed, compared to simply wasting time and resources on just Video Games. What a wonderful juxtaposition.
  12. Research & Development probably is up there for me.
  13. I have yet to make it all the way through the level about the man who is neither Man nor Milk.

    Speedruns

    From what I understand, many people who do Speedruns do so out of a discipline for how they find their fun, like skateboarders or parkour, in which practice and intense training (or research if applicable) are the differences between a second gained or a second lost.
  15. What was it? How did it make you feel? Could you do it again? Would you do it again? One day comes to mind when I ask myself that question, the time I went Skydiving. The experience was sort of hampered when later that day I was getting a jug of milk from the grocery store and crashed on my bike, and the injury that resulted caused me to have a cast on my left wrist for over a week and a half. However it was kind of cool that people would ask "Oh, look at your hand! What did you do?" and I would state a rather-off-topic reply of "I went skydiving."
  16. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee*KRTCH**
  17. The engine isn't new, just newer iterations of the same Engine. They've also stated that Episode 3 will probably be their last game on Source. Source Engine was great in its time, and even today its highly malleable and adaptable as well as well-written, but some of their features compared to nowandays, are showing their wrinkles.
  18. Jeremy Irons has been a villain in many movies for a very long time. You might remember his voice distinctly as Scar in the Lion King. Or maybe as a Jesuit Martyr in The Mission. With a bit of hair dye he'd be pretty good as Breen, I imagine.
  19. Cucumbers are great in salad. Mmmmm, salad.
  20. Blue

    Speedruns

    I'm still jealous of those who can backwards bunny-hop in HLE2 and Portal.
  21. The Revolver has a remarkable charm to it.. especially when you edit the sound effect to give it a bigger kick.
  22. I want to make Fan fictions of NASA's history in the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s. That doesn't qualify as Science Fiction apparently
  23. Flidding with Maya, making a Spaceplane based off of the Arkbird from Ace Combat 5.
  24. I'm the only member of my family that hasn't broken a bone. (However I have broken two of my maxilliary incisors, which were replaced with enamel caps when I was 14. The two middle teeth at the top of your mouth.)
  25. Actually MESSENGER made three transits of Mercury, two of Venus and one of Earth in a highly complicated interplanetary route in order to settle into a stable Mercurian orbit while using a minimum amount of fuel, and only settled into that orbit last week. It'll finish initialization procedures some time next week and will start showing us all sorts of tasty data on that turbulent little planet, the first we've had of the stuff since Mariner 10 in 1975. It was launched in 2003 and has long been sending us pictures, but pictures only. It has on board all sorts of Spectrometry and Magnetotronic equipment for orbital surface analysis.
