If you play the Apocalypto trailer, go to the spot where you see the screaming monkey face at ~75%, then use the left arrow to step back a few seconds. Amid the horrible images of desperate conflict, you will see this:
Heh. (Via.)
TitleWhat’s Inside Skinner’s Box?
What is a skinner box, how does it interact with neurotransmitters, and what does it have to do with shooting people in the face for rare loot?
The Death of Half-Life
Valve still hasn't admitted it, but the Half-Life franchise is dead. So what made these games so popular anyway?
Deus Ex and The Treachery of Labels
Deus Ex Mankind Divided was a clumsy, tone-deaf allegory that thought it was clever, and it managed to annoy people of all political stripes.
Crysis 2
Crysis 2 has basically the same plot as Half-Life 2. So why is one a classic and the other simply obnoxious and tiresome?
Borderlands Series
A look at the main Borderlands games. What works, what doesn't, and where the series can go from here.
Just because I can… FIRST! :D
That’s the most awesome thing. Ever.
No… way… O_o;;
First the Where’s Waldo scene in the pile of corpses, and now this? Was Mel even trying when he made this?
If you flip back and forth a bit, notice how their facial expressions changes when Mel is on camera and when he’s off camera. Also, one of those guys is getting butt-sex.
So, is it just me or does the beard kinda make Mel look a little (read: a LOT) like Saddam H? Only with a more maniacal outlook…
PS. Before accusations start pouring in, I have been a big fan of Mel’s work, including the Lethal Weapon series AND The Passion. I am a Christian and was moved when I watched The Passion. Admittedly, I had to actively focus on the worship aspects of the film and ignore the hype, but these are the days we live in.
funny.
Wow, step buttons! Never noticed those before.
Cool. I was just pausing like a fiend and hit it just right.
And I’ll be posting to LJ about this later. :) (Linking back here.)
Remember this device being used on Fight Club?
Several scenes before Brad Pitt’s character is introduced, while Edward Norton is still lamenting and explaining his existence to us, single frames are imposed with Brad Pitt leaning on a character here, or standing in the background elsewhere (the only scene I can think of now is the men’s cancer group scene… methinks).
