XK posted:The ice cream I've never had, I mean. Risotto alla Milanese if you want to go all in on the saffron/rice goodness. Also requires decent parmesan cheese, so good luck with that if American.

The Titanic posted:You all lost me at the scrod thing. I don't know what a scrod is, and I thought I was kind of paying attention. "Scrod or schrod (/ˈskrɒd/) is any of various whitefish, such as young cod or haddock, that are prepared and eaten as food; often the preparation involves the whitefish being split and boned before cooking." Stimpire cuisine.

Scruffpuff posted:Even the motion capture they did years before they knew what kind of game they were making is just bits - it'll plug into everything else. No matter what they build, the motion-capture sequences they made will work around it. Motion-capture a guy climbing stairs, but in the final production there are no stairs there? That's not a problem at all because programming. Forgot to put atmospheric considerations in your space game? No issue at all because patch 3.0. Clearly you understand game development. Check out this whiny diatribe full of excuses about how animation actually 'works' made by a bunch of lazy amateurs who understand neither fidelity or motion capture: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1535515364/pathologic/posts/1912213 Can't believe I was dumb enough to back this. (I am so glad I backed this, it looks incredible - check out dancing madness lady!)

Kellanved posted:Holy poo poo, Pathologic remake? Completely missed that. Ice Pick Lodge makes some p good games. Dude. You are in for a treat. This was originally a Pathologic remake, then they got stupidly ambitious and decided to make something very different which may or may not ever come out (as is the way with Kickstarters), but went ahead and tidied up the old game to placate us weirdos who loved it anyway: http://store.steampowered.com/app/384110/Pathologic_Classic_HD/ Ice Pick Lodge are indeed glorious nutters.

BeigeJacket posted:Croberto has no vision. There's nothing in his wretched game that isn't a shabby knock-off of one or two sci-fi franchises from 40 years ago. Don't immediately dismiss this because it is, technically, fanfic. It is System Shock fanfic, and written by a guy who can actually write quite well (dude does the twenty sided nerd blog), and ticks every last one of your "future corporate hellholes with bionic implants and underdog hacker scum popping speed and contemplating their ennui" boxes perfectly. https://www.smashwords.com/extreader/read/124443/1/free-radical

Hav posted:I forgot to mention Scalzi. The Old Man's war series of books have turned out better than I hoped. You mean twice. After reading the followup "The Scar". China Mieville would take one look at stimpire.txt and say "meh - not nearly weird or disturbing enough" (also might have a thing or two to say about the grammar). Scalzi is loving great too, stupidly easy reading, but clever ideas.

Galarox posted:That film sucked. As a long time Judge Dredd fan the film completely, utterly and totaly lost me when, in the first few minutes of the film Judge Dredd took his helmet off... I mean. srsly? wtf?!? Yeah. Of course it did. There's another more recent (and way better) Dredd movie though. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1343727/?ref_=nv_sr_1 It's not fantastic, but it's as good as we're probably going to get, and Karl Urban is proper Dredd.

Duckaerobics posted:This seems extra stupid, because system shock is still a good game. Why did they think they needed to add a bunch of mechanics to the game? They could have just released the same game with updated graphics and everyone would have been happy. I think the last time everyone was happy about video games was somewhere around 1998, but I might be slightly off on that because I was mostly high back then. But if you want your modern System Shock hit, play the new(ish) Prey - goon thread here, it is cool and good, also probably cheap by now.
