We can has cherry blossoms and giant robots in videogames again?



(I never actually got to play any of them, but the series always came up as a "look at this cool thing they only get in Japan" gaming example).

Wow, T.C. always made it look so easy...

[F-ZeroOne]

Yeah, all those movies where the hero jumps in the aircraft and gets it going immediately like a car are kind of... exaggerating. It may just about have been possible with some early and World War II aircraft (when the FW190 was introduced, there was a slightly insane plan involving Ian Fleming - yes, that Ian Fleming - and Supermarine test pilot Jeffrey Quill to steal one from a Luftwaffe airfield), though I recall reading that the preflight checklist for a B-17 (a complex, four engined heavy bomber) took two people an hour to get through. Theres also a reason they call it type-qualified as well...

Sega does what Ninten-don't, sort of...

The latest Blender "Open Movie" - made with Blender, GIMP and Krita only - to demonstrate what the new 2.8 release can potentially do:

Too late, Mr Star Wars... way too late.

So basically the Megadrive didn't have a raster interrupt. How strange an oversight. There's a bunch of us VCS / VIC-20 coders laughing right now...

Seems almost like something out of a Gerry Anderson series to me...

Too late, Mr Star Wars... way too late.

I really loved Rogue One, and I thought Solo was actually pretty good. The mainline Star Wars films, though... Can they really not come up with something better for $0.5x10^9?

Over to Mr Plinkett for anal-sys:

Oh... kay. Well, we can agree on the Prodigy video, anyway.

Meanwhile, the Force is strong with this 'un:

[RedOktober]

Force Awakens what?

[kel]

sorry, first night off work, bit messy on beer.

Yeah, don't get me wrong, i love the originals ( especially IV & V ) but there's something about The Force Awakens.

Think i went into it expecting it to be total arse, thought id grown out of the whole star wars thing, but i loved it, great cast, well paced and looks stunning, i'm a sucker for jj's glossy visuals tho.
It had its faults, not a fan of the han solo section with those bally tentacle monsters, dunno, just seemed out of place, but overall i loved it, very silly, little cheesy at times, but a top space romp.

Fwiw, i struggled to stay awake during The Last Jedi, thought it dragged on a bit.
