This is all very, very strange. I'm not really one to spectulate, but I've not been a fan of Tam and Lucy on content so, sadly, Giant Bomb won't be for me anymore. This is very upsetting because I have been watching for years. I hope everyone is okay and has a good time.
Hey it's, eleven years later, and I still badly want to re-create this look through purchase or effect. But ideally, in real time, not post editing. Today this reminded me to play around with Glitch Studio on my iphone, and, it's never going to be as good as the mimicked raw bad video the game represents. I always felt like it was not just a cheap camera, but a live streaming one over a bad connection with an old codec.. Lots going on.
But I bet after this many years if I still think about this despite the gameplay, some others probably still are too..
Quite - The slow down during explosions in the game wouldn't be achievable unless there was some serious shock to the camera (Think like a CD skipping). This would probably only be possible with some more analog formats, almost certainly not with modern HD cameras saved to an SD card. I've dropped a C100 before and that kept on trucking.
It's not a realtime effect, but there's an iOS app called DU-VFX that will also do a bit of this. Otherwise, the only way I've managed to do stuff like this was with After Effects and various templates. Here's a good start.
Oh dear. I don't really come to the website or watch / listen to the content because I'm not really into the content anymore, but this is very disppointing to see paying subscribers getting this.
Anytime I feel like I should give Dark Souls a go, because people rave enough about it to make me think there's something there. But I get a couple hours in and realise I'm just not having fun.
Destiny, and Destiny 2, both had the same one for me. I'm pretty much a solo player, and both gaves have a point where if you aren't doing the three things that increase your light level, then you are wasting your time - and those things are raids, nightfalls or some extreme crucible challenge, none of which I'm ever going to do.
I thought I had a pretty good handle on survival horror games from the early days of CD Rom Gaming. I was quite upset when Parasite Eve didn't come out in the UK. So I was very surprised when I was browsing some old game magazine posts on the internet and found this Resident Evil-alike that was made by Sega, and I'd never heard of it before. In fact, at first I thought it was related to Cold Fear.
Then again, I was a PlayStation kid and played the Saturn maybe once in my life, so maybe it's not surprising. So, I did a naughty and found a 'way' of playing Deep Fear.
And it's not bad! It's full of cutscenes. They are everywhere. Compared to, say, Resident Evil 1 or 2, which had a brief handful, Deep Fear was cramming their discs with dramatic deaths, explosions, and maybe the worst looking digital dog I've ever seen.
I was compelled to make a little video on it, too. I was very surprised with the whole thing and it's a shame they never made another one.
Fender and Squier you can get usually quite cheap and they are generally all pretty good. I've got two Fender guitars, two Fender basses, and a Squier J Mascis Jazzmaster is my main guitar at the moment (Because the rest are in Drop Q for some reason), and they all very reliable. You had a pound sign in one of your posts, so naturally I'm going to assume you're in the UK - If you live in range of a GuitarGuitar, PMT or Andertons, they are stocked full of things for you to try out.
Additionally, Yamaha Pacifica's ALWAYS get a good write up, but I've never played one myself. I was never impressed with the more 'budget' Epiphone range, but I found I prefer my guitars to have a bit more of a smoother neck than the gloss finish they tend to have. I find Ibanez / more 'metal' guitars like ESP and the like don't seem to have much resell value either, whereas a half decent Fender will probably do alright.
Oh, and also ask your shop if they offer 0% Finance. I've managed to get gear that's a little out of my price range because I can get that cost over 9 monthly payments rather than losing all my money for the month. It's a great system in the UK, and the last few major bits of gear I got have all been through that.
I thought there were elements of the plot that were good - There was a bit too much of "Well how are the duke boys gonna get out of this one" and then, he proceeds to get out of that one. And yes, the references were a little too much. But somehow, I didn't hate it.
