@ Psyburn - Last life in the universe was a fantastic film, glad someone else put it on their list

I'd have Intacto right up there too, Spanish, very good. Directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo (2001)

also Solaris, Tarkovsky, 72 (Russian)

Alphaville, Jean Luc Goddard, 65 (French)

As for the rest can't really think right now.

Edit:

Navrat Idiota (Czech), Sasa Gedeon, 99

I used to play all these with my father, mainly Wolfenstein and Doom. The best thing about both of them though was the difficulty selection and the health indicator, those type of things are etched into my mind.

When you have a bow and arrow does 'Ultima Underworld: The Stygian Abyss' count as an fps because that was epic. I remember that thing had like 12 floppy disks for installation.

The tone of it and the transparency of some of his arguments makes me think its supposed to be a satirical piece. Then again it could easily be not. If it isn't a satire its really kind of terrifying, not just in the way its putting such tremendous spin on things but showing the extent that people are willing to lap it up.

It's not surprising but at the same time it can still be a little off putting for some people. I'm guessing thats why they wrap up some fruit and veg in a hundred layers of plastic. We do not need it, but i guess we're all a little picky about what we eat these days. Saying that, rodent filth and grit is a selling point of peanut butter in my country, we're not too bothered, we have it written on the label.

Obama is awesome.

seconded.

I'm not sure exactly what he meant about the government potentially using hip-hop as an educational tool though. He probably just meant that it should be recognized, but i guess you could interpret everything in different ways.

I wonder what Clinton would say if she was asked the same question?

Winback (Known as "Operation: Winback" in Australia) is a video game developed by Koei for the Nintendo 64 in 1999 and PlayStation 2 in 2001.

I don't know if its little known or not, I haven't seen anybody talk about it before, but ring of red was great. Without adding spoilers you took control of a rogue group of Mech pilots and had to accomplish various missions. The crew customization was a really nice feature and the fights were awesome (at the time). Really good concept and nicely developed characters too. A bit of an unforgiving save structure but generally it was a fantastic game.

Only the intro was on youtube, couldn't find game play except on game-spot (link at bottom):

Sometimes i can really taste or smell something without it being there, but i seem to have no control over when it happens. There are some people who associate numbers or letters very strongly with a particular colour, taste or smell, its similar to a pavlovian response but not quite. To be able to do that at will is something i haven't really heard of though. I wonder if its something you can train yourself to do?

I'm reading sandman at the moment, your time shall not be wasted.

In terms of watching, just old comfort food really: Macross Plus, Diebuster, FLCL, and odd episodes of Hajime no Ippo.
I'm still getting the new stuff as it comes but as of yet don't feel the desire to watch any of it. Even Geass, which i'm kind
of surprised about.

This may be of some interest to people (If you haven't seen it) Yahtzee does a quick review of 'a RE5 trailer' back in 15 Aug 2007? wtf?

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/1-Heavenly-Sword-and-Other-Stuff
It's after he talks about the heavenly sword demo about 3 minutes in.

Anyway like I said before this game would probably go over better if it starred an African lead.

I would have really liked to have seen this happen, I wonder how Capcom would have handled though?
