Graphics aren't sooo bad. The game isn't really about graphics. It's more physics and mods than motion blur and damage effects.

Here is an AI race I set up using several different addon mods

The plot of Kick-Ass concerns a lonely teenage boy, Dave Lizewski (Aaron Johnson), who decides to become a real-life superhero after being inspired by the heroes of comic-books. He soon encounters a mysterious vigilante called Big-Daddy (Nicolas Cage), and his daughter Hit Girl (Chloë Moretz), who are working to bring down the drug baron, Frank D'Amico.

Looks like it should be fun :thumbup:

Julian Casablanca's Phrazes for the Young

2012 - WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE.......(from boredom)

D-Fence — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 14:05:21 GMT

So I watched 2012 yesterday.

Let's make this quick.

The effects are epic and the best I have ever seen. It's worth watching for them alone....the rest. Well. The story itself is easily told: Sun flare, earth boils, everyone dies, father tries to save family. The end. It is incredibly cheesy, and I mean, INCREDIBLY cheesy (see spoilers), and way too long on the cheesy bits. And the movie is really long (1/4 of this is actually stuff going boom, the rest, cheese).

Worth watching for the effects.

Spoiler Text: (Click here to toggle display)

Cheesiness:

- Father fighting to make his son love him who likes stepdad more
- little girl needing diapers because she is so insecure
- American president staying in DC and making white house a shelter, dies among his people
- Russian evil fat billionaire changing his mind and saving his children
- Dalai Lama (yeah yeah not him) banging the bell in Tibet while drowning
- Dad & Stepdad becoming friends, Stepdad needs to die, dies.
- Little girl not needing diapers at the end of movie
- World leaders growing a spine and helping the poor people
- That old guy calling his son & grandchild for the first time in 5 years, hearing them die
- That old man drowning Titanic style on the Cruise Ship
- The Indian family drowning

Stuff that I hated for making my tech-savvy brain hurt

- Starting an Antonov on ~200m of exploding runway
- Jet engines without fuel don't smoke or GLOW RED
- the whole "getaway in limo" part
- "THERE IS A PROBLEM IN THE HYDRAULICS" (kogs. Lot's of kogs. It's the gearbox)
- ZOMG HUGEST SOLAR FLARE EVER, NO MORE TELEPHONES! Luckily ALL satellites keep working.
- It's 2012. "LAS VEGAS AUTO SHOW CARS". Gallardo, Carrera GT, F360. "This is the new Bentley. Dad ordered one for next year" (2013 rite). *Continental GT Flying Spur*

A lot more there I don't want to list

Just watch it for the explosions. :P

I miss the old need for speed

camelfarmer — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 22:43:32 GMT

Do you remember the old ones I think it was nfs 2 where you'd race through beautiful Italian or french countryside in an slk or something and feel the cobblestone road though the controller and love it? Even hot pursuit 2 on ps2 I think it was, was awesome. I played all those including underground like 6 times.

You?

In CLASH OF THE TITANS, the ultimate struggle for power pits men against kings and kings against gods. But the war between the gods themselves could destroy the world. Born of a god but raised as a man, Perseus (Sam Worthington) is helpless to save his family from Hades (Ralph Fiennes), vengeful god of the underworld. With nothing left to lose, Perseus volunteers to lead a dangerous mission to defeat Hades before he can seize power from Zeus (Liam Neeson) and unleash hell on earth. Leading a daring band of warriors, Perseus sets off on a perilous journey deep into forbidden worlds. Battling unholy demons and fearsome beasts, he will only survive if he can accept his power as a god, defy his fate and create his own destiny.

Create new games from old ones

camelfarmer — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 17:40:56 GMT

So I was playing patapon 2 awhile ago, and was impressed with how much detail is in it for a psp game. For those who don't know patapon: it's basically a rhythm game, with a little bit of real time strategy. The impressive part is that there are several types of patapons and weapons which have strengths and weaknesses, such as fire, ice, knockback etc. So different aspects of the game need different armies.

So I was thinking how I'd love to try a patapon game that was purely rts, like red alert.

Your turn.

Tried searching, but V is not enough letters soooo....

Can't believe we don't have a thread for this show yet! Only reason to get excited about TV Tuesdays now, and it's a good one! Not quite FlashForward good, but we'll see where they take it from here.

Giant spaceships appear over 29 major cities of the world, and Anna, the beautiful and charismatic leader of the extra-terrestrial "Visitors," claims to come in peace. As a small number of humans begin to doubt the sincerity of the seemingly benevolent Visitors, FBI counter-terrorism agent Erica Evans discovers that the aliens have spent decades infiltrating human governments and businesses, and are now in the final stages of their plan to take over the world. Erica joins the resistance movement, which includes Ryan, a Visitor sleeper agent who wants to save humanity. However, the aliens have won favor among the people of Earth by curing a variety of diseases, and have recruited Earth's youth—including Erica's son—to serve them unknowingly as spies.

Firefly

Sevs753 — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 19:34:23 GMT

first off, i did a search and the last Firefly thread was last posted in 2005. so i think i'm justified in making a new thread.

I've heard nothing but good things about the series and from what i've seen its a good series.

besides, it doesn't help that the entire series is on sale at Best Buy for $13

who else here is a Firefly fan?

Quote:

A Viking teenager named Hiccup lives on the island of Berk, where fighting dragons is a way of life. The teen's smarts and offbeat sense of humor don't sit too well with his tribe or its chief... who just happens to be Hiccup's father. However, when Hiccup is included in Dragon Training with the other Viking teens, he sees his chance to prove he has what it takes to be a fighter. But when he encounters (and ultimately befriends) an injured dragon, his world is flipped upside down, and what started out as Hiccup's one shot to prove himself turns into an opportunity to set a new course for the future of the entire tribe.

Dastan (Jake Gyllenhaal) is a street urchin in 6th century Persia. After showing valor in battle, he is adopted by the king as his heir, so the king's two sons will not fight over the throne. He teams up with Princess Tamina (Gemma Arterton) to rescue the Sands of Time, a gift from the gods that controls time, from the hands of the villainous nobleman, Nizam (Ben Kingsley).

Metallica Awesomeness

_HighVoltage_ — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 03:54:26 GMT

I've seen it before, but today I watched it again...and again...and really enjoyed it.
It's the video for All Nightmare Long. It's very Resident Evil-ish, with lots of hints at the end of humanity and it's based on some historically accurate(hmm..) events.

Ideas Needed - Top Gear Forza 3 Livery.

SpecOpsBob — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 06:49:19 GMT

Righteo, on to something which I've been meaning to do since the wee days of Forza 2.

For most people in this section of the forums, chances are that you're familiar with Forza 3 and it's livery editor.

If you're not one of those people, there's this game called Forza 3 and it lets you paint stuff on cars.

Anyway...

I'll add a progress shot once I've got something down that's worth showing.

Does anybody else like public radio as much as I do?

BlaRo — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 05:05:51 GMT

Car Talk, All Things Considered, Wait Wait Don't Tell Me!, and This American Life are all the podcasts I suscribe to. I find nothing better to listen to on long road trips than the soothing voice of Robert Siegel or Carl Kasell going on about stuff I think will actually make me smarter. And during long night drives I love listening to jazz or blues.

Anybody else love NPR as much as I do?

It's in the vein of Blair Witch Project, but less violent camera moves, and tries to use the whole "is it real or isn't it" to scare viewers.
