I once met a man from Peru.
Did he have any Inca Cola on him?

What business do we still have in Afghanistan?
Excuse was there was some of them icies guys up in tharn hills. Real reason was probably to flex the military muscles at Kim/Assad, though.

In general I love the music of Megami Tensei games, but Poem of Everyone's Soul/Aria of the Soul/Velvet Room Theme has consistently been one of my favorite songs in the franchise and video game music overall. Also the final boss themes (possible spoilers): What's your favorite vidya music?

Gotta have faith in the Preds.
Leafs and Bruins will do something, but tbh I'm not really rooting for them.

Subsequent playthroughs are really boring, and that's a big problem for an RPG. It's too limited.
Gunplay is still pretty solid, the power armor much better, and how you search boxes was an excellent change.

I don't think anybody has tried to argue that Assad is a misunderstood guy, just that toppling the regime will work out about as well as Iraq. The question is how to remove him from power while maintaining a semblance of stability in the area.

Knack
unfortunately for flee, an esteemed chef-d'oeuvre like that would NEVER find itself on such an undignified gaming platform
What about Bloodborne?

Right, but film quality is dependent on the optics used and the film-grain. Many films shot before the digital revolution are very high resolution, typically higher than digital. You just wouldn't have been able to tell by watching a VHS copy because it wouldn't have to been able to fit on a cassette with cheap magnetic tape. It's like if you bought a game that had four discs, but you had the option to play a lower fidelity version on one disc.
i see
so what you're doing is really no different than what's basically already being done with other films, only with pre-SE star wars
If you're saying what I think you're saying, yes? I wouldn't splice Thomas the Tank Engine into a movie (besides Fight Club), and I wouldn't just throw him into a game either. I like everything to look uniform; if it doesn't look like it belongs in the game, it doesn't.

There's still film grain. They were captured on film, and film has an insane resolution (because not digital). VHS/Betamax/Laserdisc, however, don't have a great resolution. The transformation was to try and retain quality while stretching the tapes out to 1080p. I'd argue that it makes it closer to the theatrical release than the home release in terms of fidelity, but that's just an arguing point and not a legitimate consideration. that would be difficult to argue, given that HD resolutions weren't around in the 70s

Yeah. When I watch the Original Trilogy, I typically watch the Despecialized Editions. Not only are scenes cut/changed to better align it to the theatrical versions, but the team painstakingly transforming the VHS/Betamax/Laserdisc film to hi-definition video and making sure scene colors/transitions were consistent.
Those are typically the only kind of mods I download, anyway: increasing texture quality and restoring cut content.
in the case of film, i always like it when a movie captures the era it was created in
film grain is one of those inseparable elements--removing it would only make other imperfections all the more visible
i can sort of get behind adding cut content, but things tend to be cut for good reasons (unless it's executive meddling)

And a lot of content gets cut due to executive meddling, both in film and games (even more so games). The entire reason fans can restore that content is because entire assets (models, voiced dialogue, code) are left in the game, just in an unused state.

In related news...
The House voted Wednesday to restrict the kind of scientific studies and data that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) can use to justify new regulations. There are only so many ways I can express my disappointment without sounding redundant.

Another dick argument thread.
Sep7agon has found that dick threads are nearly as popular as Roman threads.

There was something off about Tarkin's eyes. Not for lack of effort, just the technology being 100% perfect yet. I remember reading that the Leia CGI was more convincing because she had fewer facial details; I'd agree. Recreating the face of an older man, wrinkles and all, while making it look perfect is an enormous task. They did an astronomically good job, as is the usual for IL&M.

There was supposed to be a "not" in there, I promise.
