I don't feel qualified to give that song a rating, but I give the visualization a 10/10. It really helps you understand the structure of the music. There should be something like that for every song ever written. Seven Minute Mind by The Bad Plus: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKJnDT6IaK0

I saw Assault on Precinct 13 the other day. The 1976 John Carpenter version, not the 2005 remake. Pretty fun. It has just about everything you could ask for in a low budget 70s action flick. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assault_on_Precinct_13_%281976_film%29

I saw The Fallen Idol, from 1948. It was directed by Carol Reed and written by Graham Greene - the same team that made the classic The Third Man. It's an interesting movie, and not at all what I expected. I didn't like it as much as The Third Man, but on the other hand I give it a lot of...

You know, I've never heard any Estonian folk metal before, but I didn't hate that. In fact I rather liked it. I think it would fit as the soundtrack to a certain kind of cRPG, actually. The lead singer could be an NPC. I give it...6/10. I'm a harsh critic though. Here's a song I've been...

Oh yeah, I forgot that everything in Fallout works the way it's supposed to.

RIP, Eli Wallach! Probably best known as Tuco from The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/25/movies/eli-wallach-multifaceted-actor-dies-at-98.html?_r=1 You're proving my point. Times have changed, significantly.

Fallout, but it's close. If Arcanum's combat wasn't screwed-up so badly, it might have the edge.

The Fly is great. It scared the crap out of me when I was a kid, and I liked it even better when I re-watched it a couple of years ago. I don't tihnk I've seen The Brood, I'll keep an eye out for that one. I think most of you guys are too young to remember, but there was actually a strong...

You're probably better off asking over at Iron Tower: http://www.irontowerstudio.com/ They have an active forum, so you should be able to get help there.

It's a mess for some people, while others have no trouble at all. It's a mystery.

I was having a discussion with a friend and for some reason this old gem Mazes and Monsters (1982) came up. It was Tom Hanks's first movie role. The movie is about how fantasy role-playing games are destructive, feed mental instability, and cause more vulnerable players to go insane. So...

I would say a good trackball is superior to a conventional mouse in every way, including for gaming. Once you start using one full-time you'll never want to go back. It's worth spending more money to get a good one with a big ball, though. Like I said earlier, I've been using a Kensington for...

As a long-time trackball user, I don't think I'd like that setup. A comfortable position for my trackball is several inches away from the keyboard and slightly angled, and I move it slightly whenever I change my sitting position. Having it jammed right up on the numeric keypad and...

Yes, I think we may have played different games. Are you sure it's NWN you're thinking of? :smile: The great thing about playing Gagne's modules is seeing a guy who gets more and more sophisticated with his storytelling as he gets better and better with the toolset. His very first series...

I never got that from the original. I just assumed when she would say "I'm not a girl" she meant "I'm a really old vampire." You could be right though. In any case, the girl from the original (Lina Leandersson) makes a much creepier vampire than Chloe Grace Moretz from the U.S. version...

Yeah, the reviews there are highly inflated. Personally I throw out all 5-star and 1-star reviews and only read the ones with 2-4 stars. Those are usually a lot more informative.

I've never played these, but I see there's a Commandos + Desperado bundle on sale on GOG.com right this moment. Looks like Commados 1 2 3 and Desperados 1 2 for just over $6. Only good for the next 15 hours or so.

I had a strange experience last night. I watched the original version of Let The Right One In, but with English voiceovers. At first that really bothered me, but I have to admit they're pretty well done, so once I got over the initial jarring reaction it wasn't too bad. I prefer subtitles...

I have to agree. It's terrible, especially the stock campaign, which is quite possibly the worst campaign I've ever seen in any game. The saving grace for Neverwinter Nights is all the user-made modules you can get. Some of them are really good despite the poor game engine. Skip the...

The action of going to see the movie is caused by the wanting. Just because I didn't tell you what caused the wanting doesn't mean nothing caused it. It could be anything from exceptionally good source material or a director I like to hot girl-on-girl action. It's not caused by reviews...
