Hi there, I'm Mr. Sunabouzu. You may remember me from mods/games such as Elevator: Source, Half Life 2 Episode 3 Jaykin Bacon Source, Infra, and The Stanley Parable: Hd Remix. I'm here today to bring you the latest silly game thing we've made: Cinema.


Description
Cinema is a mod for Garry's Mod 13. Remember sitting down on a lazy afternoon with your friends, drinking a cup of hot cocoa and watching a movie? pixelTail Games does. It's a magical bonding experience between people, a timeless ritual that not many are able to do with some of their friends. After all, you've got one friend all the way over in Canada, another stuck in the middle of Belgium, heck even that guy from Swaziland. How on earth will you get them all together to watch your favorite episode of Sonic X? That would cost a lot a king's ransom! And you're hardly Viscount of Saline now are you? You might not even qualify for the title of Minister of Equine Destruction.


Well stop cryin, ya big baby! We've got you covered. With Cinema you can watch internet videos with your friends from the comfort of a virtual theater! How ace is that? Settle down to watch the latest action flick, catch up on the latest adventure time together, challenge each other to get through your favorite horror show! First one to leave the room is a chicken!


Now you might be asking "Wow where do I sign up?" well please re-button your lapels, it's as easy as downloading a free thing on the internet, BECAUSE IT'S FREE! All you need is the base game of Garry's Mod and you are good to go! No other games required. Not even Half-Life 2: Episode 2 is required to play. Only GMod. Neat, huh?

- Intuitive video request system

Also, enjoy this wonderfully crafted short film, which shows how this gamemode may help defeat the struggle in modern day society of watching videos with loved ones.

A comparison from how it looked in Elevator Source:

Seriously, this mod is really slick and offers much more than just a virtual synchtube.

Not to mention how great it is for live streams. Yes, that totally works.

This is indeed pretty slick. Two things that immediately jumped out at me though; having some way to close ads on the video would be nice, and a "currently playing" section of the queue would be handy for up/downvoting the current video. It doesn't make much sense to me to only be able to do that with videos in the queue when you may not have seen them before.

Please remind me what my fitness log goal is, because apparently I forgot.

Do your cinemas support 3D?

Really cool idea, btw. Might re-install Gary's Mod because of it... but only if someone plays the cutscenes of Lego Lord of The Rings!

Fight or flight? Some ponies would pick just one. I'm not that kind of pony.

Go time.


All my friends think this is dumb. I need new friends.

Edit: How do I change player models?

Fucking magnets, how do they work?

What does it say about me if this was the application that made me feel that I needed an Oculus Rift in my life?

This looks really cool, but I can't help but think of an Onion article: 'Warcraft' Sequel Lets Gamers Play A Character Playing 'Warcraft'.

This isn't just watching movies. It's an experience.

Now that I have all the animes, I can finally
become Emperor of Japan!


It would be great if you could add popcorn and Praise The Sun Bars as SWEPs. Otherwise this is fantastic and somehow works better than Synchtube.

edit: also the ability to add playlists or at least multiple videos without closing the interface.

So is there a goon server up yet?

this is my destiny


I was gonna host a goon server to watch the Playstation announcement tonight, but I can't get Twitch streams to work using the Workshop build nor the latest Github build. The request button doesn't light up.

Is this a known issue or am I doing something wrong?

Twitch streams work, dunno what happened there.

You can copy/paste urls into the chat directly and that also works, there's also a console command to request a video. Its Cinema_something, dunno the exact command.

The only weird thing about twitch streams is you can't adjust the volume. Other than that they work pretty well.

I just joined a random server and had like 20 players watching a System Shock 2 let's play. This is fantastic.
