but Ghostbusters was not all that funny. One good laugh and a few amusing
chuckles at best. 

your opinion, man.

No, it wasn't a side splitting movie. I still liked it, and so did a lot of people. 

ghost vaccum cleaner on the roof of the car ftw.
(plus marshmellow man ruining the city every single time with me having absolutely no idea how to stop him and finish the game... :|) 

I didn't see it until the 90's and in my twenties. Maybe, if I saw it as a kid my memories of the movie would be more nostalgic. 

...and that doesn't look all that horrible to me. Hell, we haven't really seen much in the way of gameplay, just "ooh, look at shit break apart and fly around; ain't it cool?!"

Although the simulated-real-people thing always creeps me out a little for some reason, and is very wrong.

What looks so awful to you, other than that?

The gameplay shot shows almost no gameplay other than some kind of man-lifting mechanic involving showing off effects and physics and their twisty beam thing. Oh, and the roadie run lifted from Gears.

The art direction looks like they either wish they were making Gears, or they want to make the Ghostbusters "cooler" for the "hip" crowd by putting them in the future and making them look like the platoon from Aliens. Most of the Ghostbusters chic wasn't just that they shot at ghosts, it was the overall style of 80's Manhattan + functional and blue-collar looking equipment/firehouse/etc + kind of silly gremlinesque ghosts. If you remove the (horrid) logo from the video and the side of the (shameful) car there is nothing left in any of this footage besides the (creepy) Bill Murray that resembles GB in any way. It looks like the point of the game is that you're on some navy seal team that lifts people with a swirly white tractor beam and blows parts of buildings up in a futuristic West Palm Beach, Florida.

When they give the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man a do-rag and gold chains, don't say I didn't warn anyone! 

We don't really have anything to go on re: gameplay, but I see what you mean.

The art direction does have that sorta generic-cool pseudo-military look going on. And yeah, no silliness to be seen, which was sort of the point... 

So, everything appears to be good now. Thanks to SleepwalkR for providing the server and assisting me in the move. 

didn't even noticed a single thing, gj on the move and this server is nice and fast! 

it's probably about to get faster. We are thinking about moving to a better machine (faster, more ram). The current one is a five years old Celeron with 256MB of ram. It really sucks. 

Did you ever finish For Those Who Weep? 

I was working on that in Hammer, and could not convert the file format over to GtK radiant when I switched to that, and so I may have deleted the files. In any case, I don't know where it's at. 

and I'll wiffle & weep for ever... 

The loss of For Those Who Weep will eat into his gut and stir his soul until that day he uses that pain to create the greatest Quake single player map ever, but until that day he will never know joy, or happiness, or even the soundful sleep of the just. 

I cant use the "view all threads" function, it look to be broken. 

interesting, it's broken in IE, but not firefox. And only when logged in. 

 

For the first time ever in the whole history of the world, his brother and the rest of mankind; I can now access View All Threads and get to News Archive.

Finally brethren after a while the battle will soon be over and we like those who went before shall lay down our swords in the sands of time and shall study war no more. I'm gonna lay down my sword and shield... 

metl, i see there's rss on the news now - would it be much work to implement rss for individual threads, too? 

that was there for months; i just added an icon :)

And, additional feeds for threads and stuff is something on my to-do list. 

Did you hear me? I said Half Life 2 Fucking Wiimote Mod.

(anyone recognize the song in the first video btw? or even the genre? because I'm strangely attracted to it.) 

It's "Get Down on the Floor" by Porksword Sausage Factory 

thx 

I just got a bluetooth dongle to try out Doom 3 with the wii remote, this looks very interesting though.
