I'm assuming you've turned of Hardware Acceleration in Flash? Not sure if related, but caused problems on a lot of sites for me until someone mentioned that as a fix.

Gotta say Shadow Complex. As others have said, it definitely raised the bar of what I thought was possible through XBLA.

So, stumbled across this today and thought that GB may enjoy. Someone used the player creation tool for WWE SmackDown vs RAW 2011 360 and made up most of the Street Fighter crew with each having about 4 outfits.

  
Here is the text from the video, so you don't have to click through:
 

 To download these, go to community creations (xbox 360 only) and enter the proper keyword to find them. There are 3 keywords allowed for each CAW. All of these CAWs will have the following two keywords: 1. "Street Fighter" & 2. "jim784m" The third keyword is the name of the character. Certain characters like Akuma & Cody will have different names due to SVR11's unnecessary online censorship.

Akuma's name will be A|(insert less than symbol here)uma & the keyword is xakumax
Cody's name will be C@dy & the keyword is xcodyx

These CAWs aren't editable.

Each Street Fighter CAW has 4 attires (some are color changes and others are brand new attires.) There's a glitch that won't let you keep an alternate hair/hair color online. This affects some of Blanka, Dee Jay, Vega, Guile, Rufus, T. Hawk & Akuma's alternate attires only when used online.

According to Joystiq, it appears some folks have gotten their hands on the retail version in Europe. Super slip-up or secret release?

Hollywood has a new high-flying hero to put on the bigscreen.

Eric Eisner's L+E Pictures has optioned the film rights to Avalanche Studios' videogame franchise "Just Cause," which it will develop with producer Adrian Askarieh, of Prime Universe Prods., before shopping it to the studios.

Michael Ross ("Turistas") will pen the script.

Property revolves around Rico Rodriguez, aka the Scorpion, a black ops agent who carries out deadly missions for the U.S. government that come in the form of creating chaos and destabilizing rogue nations from within and turning the bad guys against each other.

The character's calling card is his grappling hook and penchant for aerial stunts with his unique parachute, putting him in unusual action scenarios like hijacking fighter jets in midair.

The first installment of the game, published by Eidos Interactive in 2006, sold 1 million units. The sequel, released in March, through Eidos' new parent Square Enix, has already doubled that sales figure.

Askarieh already has a relationship with Eidos, having set up and produced a film version of its game franchise "Hitman" at Fox. A sequel is in the works. He is also producing the adaptation of Eidos actioner "Kane and Lynch" for Millennium Films and Lionsgate, with Bruce Willis and Jamie Foxx attached to star.

CAA worked with Askarieh to package "Just Cause" for independent financing rather than set it up at a studio first.

Gersh repped Ross in the deal. Ross has also been tapped by 2929 Prods. to develop a script for the political thriller "Cartagena," with Clive Owen attached to star, and has scripted remakes of "Jar City" for Overture and "Near Dark" for Platinum Dunes and Rogue Pictures.

Eisner, son of former Disney chief Michael Eisner, is also developing a biopic on Grateful Dead frontman Jerry Garcia that Amir Bar-Lev, director of docu "The Tillman Story," will helm; Topper Lilien is scripting. Eisner and Bona Fide partners Albert Berger and Ron Yerxa ("Little Miss Sunshine") will produce. Film is based on the Robert Greenfield book "Dark Star," an oral history of Garcia from family, friends and colleagues.

Eisner formed L+E Pictures in 2006. Through it, he produced "Hamlet 2," which was acquired at Sundance in 2008 by Focus Features for $10 million.



I was going to ask how you make jumping through helicopter blades realistic, but I don't think this one will be about realism...

I had a short addiction to the arcade version of Ridge Racer when I was in High School. It was the arcade version that you sat down in, etc. A few months later, a van was going down their small hill in winter and they lost their traction. They ended up about halfway into my lane with only a few seconds between me and them. I swear to this day that my driving in Ridge Racer flipped on automatically and I drove around them like it was nothing. I didn't kick the back end out or anything, but I don't remember "thinking" about what to do. I just did it and didn't realize I had until after the fact.

Supporting a great site. I listened to the membership podcast on the way to work and started the regular Bombcast up after that. Listened to a few minutes of it on the way to lunch. Was thinking about doing the $50 thing on the way back out the car and as I started back to the office, I about wrecked due to the whole bedbugs/DDT/wrestling comments. Realized that the Bombcast is the most entertaining thing I listen to as both a gamer and as someone with an hour commute and it wouldn't be fair for me to not support them for as much as they've given me.

@Hailinel: That is what the original quote was concerning. The fact that 30 years had past since 1980 equals the time that had passed since 1950 for people in 1980. Things were just "forgotten" enough to only put the basic concepts in place for the entire timeframe. The fact that the 50s seemed like Happy Days in the 80s and now the 80s seem like Miami Vice/Vice City.
