Yes, admit it. I'm a complete snob when it comes to the quality of home video releases.
Robocop is one of my all time favorite movies & with the exception of one video release (Criterion) they all have been fucked up.
Replying to @demodulated
What's more important, it looks like they've got the original color timing right & didn't fuck with the contrast. Or filters.
Replying to @NRasool
it's old. And non-anamorphic. But yeah, Criterion got it right (as usual).
Replying to @ArtfulGamer and @demodulated
The latest dvd/blu-ray release pissed me off so much. It was obvious that master wasn't checked after filters.
Replying to @ArtfulGamer and @demodulated
A lot of people are assholes. If you're going to pay decent money for a release, it better be in best psbl quality
Replying to @ArtfulGamer and @demodulated
Especially infuriating when they fuck up a major film. Prime example: Terminator 2. Most awful transfer.
Replying to @TorbenFrost

Replying to @TorbenFrost
it's not about the grain. The colors/contrast on the se are so wrong. It's cropped/zoomed in. Extended scenes... ugh...

Replying to @TorbenFrost
However, I know that with enough money & a good company miracles are apparently possible. New Aliens transfer is a proof.
Replying to @TorbenFrost
most offensive Robo se mistake: during the shootout at warehouse white balance shifts in 1 shot & stays like that till the end

The only two decent Lsl games are 7 & 1. And a bit of 6, if you don't mind the sadistic attitude.
Replying to @darthhelmet86 and @demodulated
7 is hands down best in the series (by far) in overall design and puzzles.
Replying to @darthhelmet86 and @demodulated
well, I disagree, sir. And obviously my opinion is the only right one on the internet.
Replying to @darthhelmet86 and @demodulated
Nice Veil of Darkness avatar btw
Replying to @demodulated
I enjoy Dizzy games, but that doesn't make them any better designed. Lsl 3 is an awful ass backwards game.
Replying to @darthhelmet86, @demodulated and @Resulka
I need to play through it again. I only gave it 20 minutes a few weeks ago, and now I want more.
Replying to @Resulka, @darthhelmet86 and @demodulated
The same. Possibly the first adventure game I played.
Replying to @darthhelmet86, @Resulka, @demodulated and @richardcobbett
Yes
Replying to @darthhelmet86, @demodulated and @Resulka
Fuck yeah. I love it. Terribly underrated.
Happy Monday! Here's an hour of DOS games from 1993 to start your week right: http://youtu.be/vLzFE-rxuJA Lots of adventure games.
Here are both 1993 video links: http://youtu.be/vLzFE-rxuJA and http://youtu.be/vLzFE-rxuJA Two hours, SIXTY ms-dos games!
Replying to @demodulated
Thanks, man! There's a lot more great games in this one.
Replying to @demodulated
I weren't. Trust me. Not with one week to play them all. :)
Replying to @demodulated
Yes. I ffmpeg'ed it to 1280x960 with "nearest" filter & it looks great. Youtube still kills a lot of it though.
Replying to @demodulated
Nah. My final video is 1280x720. 30 fps. It's just YouTube. That's how it'll always be.
Replying to @demodulated
YouTube changes everything to 30 fps. So it's better if your source video has the same rate. It looks fine.
Replying to @demodulated
DosBox captures at variable rate. The same as it's being drawn on screen. So if your game is at 70, that's what u'll have
Replying to @demodulated
Not that many fast paced action games in the early 90s.
Replying to @demodulated
Not in DosBox it doesn't. It just dumps every frame into a file. Which is why I prefer to used it.
RT @TheDOSPlace: LOL!!!! (MS-DOS 5 upgrade PIC) :P What the hell! LMAO
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwrlNwOQ9wA
^AB http://fb.me/27LZMCwpr
Replying to @demodulated
It's DosBox that slows down, not the capturing. The video is going to be at full speed if you have your core set right.
Replying to @demodulated
You might wanna check your config. My machines are ancient & they can run stuff like that with no issues.
Replying to @demodulated
It depends on what you want to go. If I run games I just use auto & max settings. For capturing I go static sometimes
So if you use the YouTube phone app to edit a video, it cuts off the description. I see...

Good morning, people of the Internet! I still can't believe it's 2014 already. I'd like to spend this #MorningDOSTalk talking about 1994
Of course that was the year DOOM II was released. Aka the best game ever. #MorningDOSTalk
Another pretty big release that year was Jazz Jackrabbit. A Sonic-y platformer with some shooting. Beloved by many #MorningDOSTalk
Replying to @Terrorcell and @ben_304
Yes
Of course there was System Shock. A game that I still find very difficult to get into. I need to play through it asap #MorningDOSTalk

Little Big Adventure/Relentless hit the European market in 1994. Doesn't seem like that long ago #MorningDOSTalk
Rise of Triad: Dark War or, how I like to call it, what if Wolfenstein fucked an 8 bit platformer & had a confused child, also hit in 1994
Let's not forget that Tex Murphy got his first 3D outing in 1994 and that Under a Killing Moon is a great game #MorningDOSTalk
Come on, people! Give me some more DOS titles from 94! #MorningDOSTalk

Videodrome is my personal favorite. The Fly is amazing, but a lot more commercial that his usual work.

Of course I've discovered IBM PCs shortly after and Spectrum couldn't handle the competition, but I still have a soft spot for it.
Played wth a variety of Spectrum clones in the 90s & followed the emulation & homebrew scenes till early 2000s. Good times.

Woot! Congrats!
Do you have pictures of yourself playing computer games as kids?
Replying to @AveTory
I'm actually playing the 4th level of Supaplex
Replying to @AveTory
I just remember the moment this photo was taken. Look at me trying to be quicker in the game and using two hands!
Replying to @AveTory
Mom just came into the shot just for the photo. She didn't much care about what I was doing at the moment.
Man, I wasn't smart enough to play Supaplex then and now I don't have the patience to play it properly.
Replying to @ArtfulGamer
Oh, man, that's the episode where I keep talking A LOT and nothing makes sense. Thank god @AveTory didn't virtually slap me.
Replying to @ArtfulGamer
I tried to NOT do it in the subsequent episodes.
Replying to @ArtfulGamer and @AveTory
That's why I thought it's going to be interesting to some people. Quite a unique situation.
Replying to @ArtfulGamer and @AveTory
May I also recommend an episode of Space Quest Historian where I talk about game translations http://youtu.be/VBf_FAIKksY

I just captured a bunch of demos that are abundant on the internets for my review that never happened. :)

Wanna be on my pod? Find a topic you can talk about for an hour or so and we're good to go!
Replying to @richardcobbett
Oh come on! It's really doesn't.
Replying to @ArtfulGamer
Yes. I'm pretty sure it was a LaserJet.
Replying to @ArtfulGamer
Actually, scratch that. A DeskJet
Replying to @ArtfulGamer
I'm looking at pictures online and they don't match the looks, so I guess I can't really tell what it really was.
Replying to @ArtfulGamer
That photo was taken in my mother's office. The business could afford decent pcs and printers :)
Replying to @ArtfulGamer
Go! We'll have DRINKS!

Why? It's not like I'm some crazy nipple fetishist like some people on here...
Fuck this. Buying a new PC right after filing my tax return tonight. My old machines are about to DIE.
Man, this year is looking up. I can actually AFFORD to throw some money on an upgrade. Not much, but it counts.
I actually haven't bought anything in a long time. What's a good place to order a cheap desktop? Even better if it lets me pick parts.
Yes, I'm too lazy to build my own pc.

Fair warning: it's awful
Getting a flu shot. Wish me luck. I used to not react well to those.
Jesse Eisenberg is Lex Luthor and Jeremy Irons is Alfred in the Superman vs Batman flick? What???
Filed for my tax return. Now I need to register for free tickets to the Robocop remake...
Replying to @Errobc
Of course it'll be shit.
Replying to @ArtfulGamer
Peter Weller FTW!
Replying to @ArtfulGamer
I haven't seen it since the 90s. I'm a big Weller fan though.
Replying to @AveTory
I might as well see it for free, just so I can judge it objectively.
Replying to @ArtfulGamer
I should revisit it. Have you seen A Scanner Darkly?
Replying to @AveTory
I must. It's a remake of the movie I cherish, so I HAVE to see what they have done to it.
If you don't think that the original RoboCop is a great movie, you just don't appreciate good filmmaking. That's it.
Replying to @AveTory
And it has Peter Weller in it! You missed it in the 90s? I remember it being everywhere. You know, as "Крикуны" :)
Replying to @ArtfulGamer
Yeah, I've got a blu-ray. A very cool flick.
