Yeah, I'll probably just contact them using the method the auto responce suggested tomorrow, if they haven't replied to my email proper by the time I get up.

...Now my mouse is back to normal...that was weird and annoying. lol
Anyways uploading two Bayonetta 2 videos tonight, first one is almost up...and the other will be up a couple of hours later. (they're both short, and one of them is a major boss battle)

Well I can't say that I expected much from Silent Hill: Revelation but wow, it's terrible. I don't think I've ever actively hated a movie before.

@GrizzlyArctos: There's a new Silent Hill movie?

@Tech Thanks for the heads up on Mercenaries Saga 2. I'm enjoying it. My thief keeps getting killed and I'm not finding secrets so I need to get that straight.

@Spoony_Tech: it was released in 2012, but I've only gotten around to watching it now. I regret watching it now...

Oh, Hollywood! Is there any videogame movie tie-in you can make that DOESN'T suck?

The first Silent Hill was so good though.

Yeah, I really liked the first movie... Even if it still got terrible ratings.

The second one... Eeeegh. It's like they wanted so bad to be the third game that they ignored the first movie completely, and even then it ended up terrible.

@MERG: This is a good place for us to talk lol. I won't feel like I'm hijacking any topics. Glad you're enjoying it. I haven't even started Persona Q yet but glad you brought it to my attention.

I just remembered something...the new amiibos arrive on the 31st...I'll be out of town then...excuse me, I have to go scream.

I really want to make an Online Multiplayer Turn Base Strategy game, does anybody know what engine I'd need inorder to make something like that?

For those wondering, it'd litteraly be not too much different from Pokemon Showdown! in terms of what it is I'm doing.

If it literally would be not too much different from Pokemon Showdown, I think you shouldn't make it. The best games are games with original ideas. Just my two cents, no hostility involved.

All these post-E3 news, rumors and whatnots... Ugh. I seriously feel like taking a break from the internet... well, at least, THIS SIDE of the internet... Sheesh.

Yeah. Sigh. Miss the time when I was younger...

Game mechanics wise, it would be exactly the same. However I'd introduce different formats, and the game would be managed a lot differently. (If you don't know smogon, the owners of showdown.. they're basically like CoD players meet pokemon. I wanted to make a better organized, and still child friendly simulator.)

Yeah, I'll admit that in stills the new Movies look pretty flat art-wise. They're much better to look at in motion. Even DBZ didn't look as good if you caught them in the middle of a moving scene like in that second shot: http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100217171459/dbp/images/...

So I've had some time to digest Silent Hill: Revelation after watching it yesterday, and I've come to the conclusion that I'm actually kind of offended with how it treated the franchise as a whole. While the first film may not have been the best thing I've ever seen, it did a great job of portraying Silent Hill visually, and at least it felt like it was trying to be a film. Revelation basically said 'you know that Silent Hill film? Well forget about that, lets just do Silent Hill 3 now.'

Though saying that, neither of the films tried to capture the true essence of Silent Hill. I'd like to see a film adaptation of SH2, or something similar focusing mostly on a character with a dark past being tormented and tested by the very town itself, eventually bringing that dark past to light, making the town of Silent Hill it's own character, rather than trying to add in needless sidekicks like Revelation. In terms of films that have done something similar, Room 1408 handled it really well. While having nothing to do with Silent Hill, it definitely had a 'Silent Hill' feel to it.

Well, that went on longer than I thought it would. Rant over, I guess?

@WaveBoy, Actually, most of the character animation in Resurrection F was done the old fashioned way with real tools, and then overlayed over the backgrounds which were digitally animated. (I believe this was even at the request of Toriyama himself)

I remember watching a behind the scenes look on NHK World earlier this year, where they shown that they had thousands of pages used up, just for one fight scene.

@WaveBoy: I like the way the new animation is. I didn't expect Faulconer to come back to do the music for DBS. I liked the skinny red-haired Goku. I like that Vegeta is over the top because that's who he is, I think.

I'm really excited to see Resurrection F in theaters in August. I can't wait to watch DBS in America. I might watch the Japanese version first if I'm impatient, but I love the voice cast for the English dub, personally.
