Hopefully the Nintendo part will be good, also wonder what there will be about the new WWE game. And I do like the looks of Bethesda's DisHonered though.

Important question- is the 140cm sq extender allowed?

And other AI components, such as the SnapperII, Bear Claw and Samurai Sword.
Yeah, I will allow them, just got to put it up in the rules.

Off-Topic Discussion / RIP Eduard Khil aka Trololol Guy
« on: June 04, 2012, 04:58:08 PM »




Quote from: From KYM
On May 28th, 2012, the world news site Radio Free Europe Radio Liberty reported that Eduard Khil had been hospitalized after suffering a stroke. The following day, the Russian entertainment news site RT  published an article titled “Trololo man in critical health condition”, stating that Khil had suffered irreversible brain damage and was in a coma. The article went on to report that Khil may survive if he underwent immediate surgery, but doctors could not guarantee recovery. On June 4th, Khil died at a hospital in St. Petersburg, Russia, one week after suffering from the stroke. The death was subsequently covered by various news sites including The Washington Post, Ria Novosti and The Huffington Post. The same day, a Reddit post titled “Eduard Khil (‘Trololo Guy’) dies in St. Petersburg, aged 77” reached the front page, accumulating over 18,000 up votes in 11 hours.

And likewise, they've got one on the 3DS coming out, soon. If it's as good as the PC versions, I'm definitely going to get it.
It got the date moved back again to September.  :frown:

TP. Cassius replaced with Steel Avenger, I spent to much time trying to get its AI to work and I have had absolutely no luck at all.

Will do the filming tomorrow.

Wait this is Stock?! I ignored the thread at first because I thought RIW was a DSL Tournament Series. Only realized when I saw Gauche Suede's post in his Stock Showcase about it.

Totally in.
First 3 seasons were DSL. I will be doing Stock for seasons 4, 5 and 6

Been a bit behind on creation of the park, I will hopefully try to do a lot later today, I have quite a bit ready though that I did a while a go. Probably will do a bit after I try the new game that I just bought off Steam yesterday.

I have a notorious example: Mario

Yeah they mad an awful movie about it
all I can say about that film is  :SFTW   ant that smiley pretty much sums it up
                                                       
Ah, the Super Mario Bros movie? It was definitely bad, but not the worst VG movie I've heard of- more in the "So Bad It's Good" line than the "So Bad It's Bad".
You mean like those pile of crap video games movies by Uwe Boll (Postal, House of the Dead and Alone in the Dark)

DP. I might be replacing Cassius 2 with either Tractor or Steel Avenger, I still am unable to find the problem, I will give it one more try. If that try fails I will defiantly be switching it out...

Team Fortress (????)
A new reboot to Mortal Kombat (Warner Bros and New Line Cinemas)
Wonder how you'll make a movie plot around TF2? Also, I do think a new Mortal Kombat movie sounds quite good- hopefully we'll actually see Scorpion and Sub Zero fight in it.
Dunno, but from the sounds of it apparently Valve will be there to make sure that a bad plot for it and Half Life will not be made, so they probably will be calling the shots on the script by the sounds of it. No studio has been announced, something more might be said after the meet the pyro video gets released sometime this year.

Apparently for the Mortal Kombat movie they want to make it like the game, and they want it to be rated R so they can make it like the game, it was also confirmed for fall of 2013

Doing a short bump to update on what is coming soon.

It looks RCT is not the only video game getting a film:

These are the other games being made into films:

God of War (Warner Bros)
Mass Effect (Warner Bros and Legendary Pictures)
Uncharted (Columbia Pictures)
Assassin's Creed (Columbia Pictures)
World of Warcraft (Warner Bros and Legendary Pictures)
Dead Island (Lionsgate Studios and Twisted Pictures)
Deus Ex (Columbia Pictures)
Half Life (????)
Team Fortress (????)
A new reboot to Mortal Kombat (Warner Bros and New Line Cinemas)

There may be more, but these are the only ones I found out about.

it's a stock robot, it won't run in standard DSL.
No, that is not the problem, I can use the bot after I put it in the bot lab, but the AI will not work, and the AI code is the exact one that Sonny uses for Cassius 2, I will look into it this week, if I can't find the problem, I will try to look for a replacement bot for it.

« on: May 22, 2012, 10:45:58 PM »
Movies that I liked yet critics and people like to hate:

http://www.metacritic.com/movie/battleship
Battleship
I thought it was a very good movie and I believe because of movie critics this film will not gain a whole lot of money because of it, I believed that Taylor Kitsch, Liam Neeson and Rihanna did great jobs in the roles they played, and hopefully Universal will do a sequel so that the scene after the credits does not go un-explained.

http://www.metacritic.com/movie/john-carter
John  Carter
A Sci-fi soap opera that was somewhat similar to what you would seen in Star Wars and Star Trek, and also another movie that Taylor Kitsch was in, but why did this get a bad rating and not a whole lot of money? I thought that this movie was amazing, but sadly thanks to it grossing almost nothing it likely might not see a sequel.

http://www.metacritic.com/movie/saw-3d
SAW 3-D
It was great 3D and was way better than some of the other sequels too it, but why was this one particularly rated so bad, it had new traps, some changes an continued to give a background on the Jigsaw killer, I thought it was a good sequel to the SAW series.

http://www.metacritic.com/movie/transformers-dark-of-the-moon
Transformers Dark of the Moon
While defiantly better than Revenge of the Fallen, it was about as good as the first one, and also set the bar really high for future high budget sci-fi films with its over a billion dollar gross(10th film to do so), and was IMO a great way to end off the "original trilogy" of the transformers saga.

http://www.metacritic.com/movie/thor
Thor
It may have been put in theaters at a bad time with notable competition being Super 8, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, Hangover 2 and Green Lantern it was a quite well done superhero film that I think was overshadowed by the other films that were out, It was fun and was an overall good movie that once again was given a bad rating

http://www.metacritic.com/movie/scooby-doo-2-monsters-unleashed
Scooby Doo 2 Monsters Unleashed
The sequel to the 2002 live action film of Scooby Doo. I found that this movie was a lot more interesting and funny than its first film and still provides very good laughs, it is a shame they did not make a 3rd Scooby Doo film and instead made lame and crappy direct to video prequels which were horrible.

http://www.metacritic.com/movie/spider-man-3
Spider-Man 3
The third spiderman film. It was a really well done film that, I don't no why so many people hated it, I thought that the acting was strong and the villains(Venom, New Green Goblin and Sandman) were pretty awesome, I hope that Amazing Spiderman will be as good.

http://www.metacritic.com/movie/a-nightmare-on-elm-street
Nightmare on Elm Street(2010 Remake)
A lot of people dislike this because Robert Englund was not in the film as Freddy Krueger but instead they got a darker more sinister Freddy with 
Jackie Earle Haley as the main role, IMO I thought he did the role quite well. Another reasons for it being disliked were that they got rid of the comedic bits of the series(I thought this was a good decision for the remake).

 
I think that is it...

As for dislikes:

I thought that Hugo was boring and was horrible
http://www.metacritic.com/movie/hugo

Finally, a lot of people like Paranormal Activity and say it is scary, I have seen it and actually find it really bland and not scary

DP. I might have to remove Cassius, I still after almost a year cannot find the problem with it, I even asked Sonny about it and he could not find the problem either.

Not sure what will replace it yet though if I do remove it...
