Thanks to Blind Sally's gifstorm I do remember seeing CLIPS of the movie but only very little, someday I will have to watch the whole thing because I love John Carpenter. tlarn posted:Also: oh my god it's beautiful

Big Trouble in Little China is a perfect movie and folks who haven't seen it yet should go watch it now. James Hong goes full ham in it, it's beautiful.

Marker madness is probably getting to Norton, sure, but exactly is it making him see? When he glances at Booblie's ellies, does he hallucinate Isaac's face leering back at him?

My biggest disappointment with DS3 is that they didn't use any of my favourite suits from DS2. I loved the Advanced Suit, and I preferred the suit health bar as it was in DS2 as well. I mean, it makes sense - everything in the planet is OLD. The EVA suit looks way, way more modern than any of the other suits. Ah well, at least I have the N7 Security Suit

Blind Sally posted:Proof that Dead Space and Big Trouble In Little China exist in the same universe: This explains everything! It really strayed from it's original vision though. Serious note how many writers did like all the dead space stuff go through? Every time there's a new dead space game it seems like it's a new writer with a new take on the universe. Explains why there's the consistencies or lack there of between the games.

The movies, the books, and the games all have different writing teams and so continuity between them can sometimes be sparse. The games mostly had the same writing staff until the transition between 2 and 3 in which EA was like "hey Visceral do you like being totally hosed over by us? oh well sorry to hear that lol". Though one of the head writers for the first game did leave Visceral after it was over to work on Binary Domain. He had this to say about 3: quote:Johnston then added that Dead Space 3’s focus on action is “a necessary evil in order to broaden the fan base,” admitting that “it’s a very difficult balancing act to pull off." Which I think is kinda funny. By the way, what I said in the episode about sales can be backed up by EA's Labels president Frank Gibeau: quote:"In general we're thinking about how we make this a more broadly appealing franchise, because ultimately you need to get to audience sizes of around five million to really continue to invest in an IP like Dead Space. The game sold about 600k in its first month which EA said was disappointing to them, so it didn't exactly meet their standards despite having a pretty goddamn big opening sales rush! In fact it was the highest-selling AAA video game in the month it came out. That said, Visceral has stated that there is probably more Dead Space coming so who knows! Maybe we'll get lucky and it won't be bad! CJacobs fucked around with this message at 06:49 on Mar 4, 2015 |

I knew EA was in the habit of screwing over its game designers, especially at that time as Mass Effect 3 showed, but it is nice to get an idea on just how bad it was.

Holy crap, a revolver shotgun actually exists. Unfortunately it's a revolver shotgun in that order, and not a shotgun revolver as Dead Space imagines it, but drat that's cool/stupid! I want to use one in Dead Space 4! Just make it fire, like, plasma energy slugs or something and you're all set! CJacobs fucked around with this message at 11:09 on Mar 5, 2015 |

Taurus Judge is an actual revolver shotgun, even if it uses the tiniest shotgun shell and looks really off.

Atomikus posted:Taurus Judge is an actual revolver shotgun, even if it uses the tiniest shotgun shell and looks really off. By most standards the Judge is kinda crap for many purposes. It's a decent choice for immediate point blank defense (like carjackings), but .410 shotshells don't hit very hard even with the best buckshot available and .410 caliber slugs don't go very fast (and just plain don't load birdshot, it won't work). With .45 LC cartridges....it's just another .45 revolver. The absolute biggest problem is the rifling. Bullets need spiral grooves in the barrel that grip and spin them to provide gyroscopic stability as they fly through the air, giving them the accuracy that they have today. But buckshot or birdshot fired through a rifled barrel spins itself into a doughnut shape and most of the pellets will miss the target at medium range. A bigger problem is that making it totally smoothbore for shotshells would make it legally classified as a Short-Barreled Shotgun (illegal in some states and requiring a $200 tax stamp and lots of red tape where it's legal) or an Any Other Weapon at best (requiring a $5 tax stamp and a little less red tape than an NFA item where legal). So they tried to fudge it by making really thin rifling that barely stabilizes bullets but still provides a little spin and spread to a shot cloud. The end result is that the gun not only doesn't hit very hard, but it has mediocre at best accuracy. Doesn't stop people from wanking over it because they think a "shotgun revolver" should blow people in half.

It doesn't help that when it's used in media, such as in the Max Payne movie, it's treated as this badass weapon despite it shooting 410.

It was surprisingly effective, but like if you thought shotguns had a short range (Which is REALLY exaggerated in videogames) this actually does have a short range if you use the buck shot. I feel like the judge is kind of for the really short range shot to gently caress someone's day up. Otherwise there's other pistols and shotguns which are way better.

Like at point blank range (a few feet), it'll gently caress up your day about as well as having someone with a Walther PPK or other little .32 or .380 pistol plug you with a magazine's worth of bullets. But that's about the maximum of its effectiveness. Shotguns tend to get their killing power exaggerated by media.

Like when my brother let me use it at the range it felt really powerful, but man at any range it was pathetic as hell. Sometimes it's about the fun and design of a gun than practicality.

The Unitologist Church is just amazing. Visceral nailed the 'we're a crazy church that has entirely too much money, time and crazyness on our hands!' Sort of sad you didn't look at the little model they had on the table before you blew it out the window. It was sort of a prelude to come for the opening of Dead Space 3. Also if you wonder why every Unitologist is crazy despite being human beings that should know better? The room where CJacobs noted the marker relief on the window has three Indoctrination Cubicles in it. Rising in the ranks of the Unitologist churches literally requires being brainwashed

Yep, it's pretty great! I didn't read the log on the table in that room but here's what it says:quote:Indoctrination Test Phase 1 And there's also this right next to the entrance with the Clarke Sextuplets body pile: quote:Attention: Tour guide staff. Please remember to keep all visitors in your sight at all times. The indoctrination centers are strictly off limits to the casual public. Remember, be the light in the room for those who walk in darkness! So yeah, not only are the indoctrination cubicles real and used to brainwash people into joining the church, they're also public knowledge!

I know you've already done the full run through of DS2, but do you ever use the altfire on the javelin gun? The best part about it was making things explode with electricity after shoving a giant spike into it face/limb/body. The final upgrade on it it just made it even better. edit: literally beaten to the answer five seconds later into the video. Such a beautiful sight.

You don't just take away someone's CEC Engineering license, its a way of life, and unlife, like Unitology. Remember that necromorph from the first maintenance tunnel set-piece, hes also a CEC engineer, was just checking up on Issac to make sure his good buddy and professional colleague remembered how to use the shafts. All the necromorphs jumping out of vents, they are just members of Dead Space's version of ASHRAE, the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air-conditioning Engineers. I should know, I'm an engineer and I joined the Engineering Cult for Engineers when graduating from college. Sure sure, they say the "Order of the Engineer" is just hearkening back to the times of professional fraternities, but that poo poo is a cult, got an oath, these stainless steel rings we wear and everything.
