i don't think he's really gotten good again. maybe people are saying that because of bad lieutenant but i didn't like that movie. he's good in the way that he is still clearly absolutely nuts but the movies he is in aren't worth watching. i might watch the wicker man though because it looks like he was let loose in that movie. vampire's kiss is a good early nic cage film.

i haven't seen the the nicholas cage one, but the original is great, and i have a hard time believing the remake could be even half as awesome. so what i am saying is watch the original one.

You show those old gamepros what's what. :fogetcool:

i cannot explain how much i love reading old gamepros.  it's so great.  it's like a fuckin time machine.  the best part is how EXCITING the future of games seemed.  things were just starting to get really exciting at this point in gaming history and everything was all 3D VR headsets and pure magic.  nowadays when i think of the future of games i just sort of think "oh boy we'll get another call of duty soon i guess".  it's less magical because i guess we're sort of locked into what technical advances we have right now???  like we know that even if we have the kinect, it won't read your body properly ALL the time and also there's no guarantee that anybody's going to develop for it.  even if we have a game with voice technology, we know that you can't just say ANYTHING, you have to use certain keywords and have to say them clearly.  you have to do hand gestures just right.  back then though it felt like "as long as we wait a bit all of this will be possible AND MORE" but idk i get the feeling nowadays that we aren't thinking that far ahead and it's less exciting

i mean like with the nintendo satellite thing, it felt like that was going to be THE THING to do.  and it was!  it just wasn't YET.  nowadays we have widespread internet access and all the game consoles connect to the internet and you can download games from your couch.  nintendo was doing this sort of thing on the snes!  it's unbelievable, we ALREADY HAD THAT back then (well we didn't but japan did).  the fact that they had that idea back then was fantastic.  when i read these old gamepros sometimes it feels like they are accurately predicting the future and then sometimes i read other things and they are way off but more often than not they were dead right.  how did they know that almost 20 years down the line games were going to be sent into homes that way?  it's great.

*You open your eyes you look down you see your hoofs. look up and in your mind you say OH then you do a double take. As you realized your a cow....but not any cow you happen to be a cow being mounted by a bull that is ramming his genitals in your rear... who said they needed any aim skills to get the job done.*

I wonder if you can find one of those virtual vision headsets on ebay. I mean they exist somewhere right?? or did they all get thrown out/broken

lol STD

I'm spying on a guy in front of me in the library and he's looking at FUTURE SOLDIERS pictures I guess that's like the Counter-Strike nerd version of old Gamepros

also I'm a douchebag but I directly correlate feeling of no specutacular sort of future on the horizon between 9/11 and games not really advancing very much since then, like compared to SNES/genesis ---> playstation/n64 it hasn't. I mean since 2001 it has felt like TIME FREEZE to me on some level

there were these well-preserved boxes for like SHAVERS from the 60's/70's and they look like really strange/alien designs like even more future than future in the 90's seemed and not like cheesy 1950's version of the future either. Just like why would you make it look like this. Shit I can't find it but it wasn't lolol future is so cheesy (everybody wears rings like on futurama) it was weird and cold like an Autechre cover but yeah they were also like in mint condition so it didn't have that past-y faded look it looked like the future of yesterday right now and the old future looked more future. I'm increasingly worried that we've run out of future. But I was actually sort of self-critical when I was like 9 I think I was saying stuff like KILLER INSTINCT seemed like really naive and bad to me even back then but now I can just laugh at it. But yeah it's kind of like that save the environment episode of Roundhouse (remember that show) where it was the year 2000 and it was like "everyone's fine the earth didn't melt yet" but now it's 2010 and we're like now what depressed that the future wasn't apocalyptic

also lol

this is more or less what i feel man, there doesn't feel like there's a sense of future in video games right now.  at all.  if you ask me what games are going to be like in even 5 years i'd just shrug and say "gears of war 5 probably"

also those headsets idk!  try to see if you can find them.  there was some sort of VR headset in another gamepro i have that i looked up and it never came out.  but this seems like it was already on the market when they did this article.  so who knows???

This reminds me of a game I made up once; Close your eyes and say "Final Fantasy 1" out loud. Then say "Final Fantasy 2", "Final Fantasy 3", moving up incrementally until you become too depressed to continue. I can make it to Final Fantasy 21 before my neck goes completely limp

agh why did those terrify me at first and now they're goofy as fuck

like the covers I assume they traced over the turtles picture over different backgrounds but it made it look like they were progressively melting







is this like some unsanctioned pirate comic or what halfway through I realized there's no dialogue it's just random unrelated violence plots that have nothing to do with tmnt. And some possible plagarism I saw a Guile ripoff I think. Oh yeah PREDATOR too and batman

I just got online via my new super-fast wifi connection  and the first thing that caught my eye was this.   -_-
That poor woman. . . This is an outrage! :argh:

And Ragnar, apparently the site is a picture gallery from a series of books, suggesting that there IS dialogue but not shown here.
