Haven't seen the movie, but it seems like it was pretty well received. Even with the inherenet problem of people still fucking with dinosaurs after hundreds have gotten eaten.


Man that was a good time.

STOP SHITTING ON MY MOTHER'S HEADSTONE
Previously my main exposure to Tomb Raider has been through the "Legend" trilogy of games, which I thought were great but with some flaws.

So I decided to go and play the original Tomb Raider from 1996, since I got it from the last Humble Bundle.

The controls are taking some getting used to. This is from before everybody figured out analog sticks, so the controls are digital and clunky. More than anything else, it controls like the original Prince of Persia game, but in 3D. Same emphasis on deliberate animations and careful platforming, similar types of actions (run by default, hold a button to walk, press a button to grab a ledge as you fall, etc.) but it doesn't work quite as well in 3D space. I haven't quite gotten used to the combat either. First impression is that it's garbage, but it's really only there to break up the exploration a bit, to make things feel dangerous.

I think I like it.

Let me get this right. So there's a group of Star Wars fans, many who famously said George Lucas raped my childhood and were ecstatic that he sold off Lucasfilm to Disney, petitioning to have George Lucas return to write and produce more Star Wars movies?


Something in the water does not compute.

These fretful people are fickle, forgetful, and foolish. Forget them for your own sanity.

People talking about the raping of their childhoods aren't going to be rational.

I cannot express the degree to which the game is literally Prince of Persia. Just got to the first real vertical platforming section, and it's exactly the same, down to the collapsing floors you have to run across. I have to check, but it might even be using the same sound effect.

I will say that the game at least gives you the tools to be precise, even if it doesn't actually feel fun to move around.

People always want to point out the outdated character models of the original Tomb Raider games but truth be told they had some of platforming and level designs of their time. Although less fluid the gameplay is right up there with Super Mario 64 imo.
Been meaning to pick up the original trilogy on psn but I keep missing the sales.

This might be more for Numb and other anime BCTers: so the rumored new Gurren Lagann project that people were getting excited by turned out to be a pachinko machine!?

Pachinko has taken too much from the world. Too much.
It's no longer surprising but still sad

I image the Hunger Games situation was a hell of an education. Wish it happened to someone that deserves it like Stacy, Raven, or Dougie E Doug

Hell, Raven /dresses/ like she's from the Capitol in the Hunger Games, most of the time now.

Also: Poor Doug E. Doug. I wonder if him and Sinbad ever go to Jamba Juice, kick back a few smoothies, and reminisce about the good ol days.

I am imagining you saying "I am not trying to be funny and I don't mean no harm" before typing that

I watched the Sinbad realty show where they talked about how broke he is now.
