Jason And The [chat]onauts

Bogart

Age has not wearied this wonderful movie. The best skeletons in movie history.

Check out Talos waking up. He doesn't look very happy. Also my God check out Nigel Green, plainly enjoying himself immensely as Hercules.

I love Ray Harryhausen and revere him only slightly less than Michelangelo.

Those skeletons are classic

Damn you, work!

No it's cool, really

In Monsters Inc the fancy restaurant was named Harryhausens as tribute

Modern cgi movies are all terrible and we should go back to stop-motion monsters like the skeletons and the hydra.

Discuss.

I waited the regulation ten minutes!

I am technically correct in posting the thread, which, as every good Centauri knows, is the best kind of correct.

ahahahaha god what a fucking disaster

I have a friend who I always sound super pretentious when talking about final fantasy to. He likes FFVII the best, and he doesn't like FFVI because he got to the world of ruin and there was no direction so he put it down.

And I'm all THAT'S THE POINT, YOU HAVE NO DIRECTION BECAUSE THE CHARACTERS DON'T! You have to make your own direction, choose your own goals, because the entire point of this part of the game is that even in desolation we can find things to strive for, and life is still worth living and if you will just pay attention to this theme-

and then I realize I sound like a crazy person so I stop.

No it's really okay

Work just got me and I didn't even see my notification until it was too late


anyway, I wasn't prepared

I would have probably done something weird like "Hypospadias [Chat]" or "Let's Watch this Animated Demonstration of SRS [Chat]"

If some of my good bros are to be believed, sparkling Rosé has been becoming the official drink of the gay dink professional class over the past year or so.

Clash of the Titans 81' was one of my favorite movies as a little kid. I've always been a creature feature lover and the monsters in that were just awesome.

Triple Triad > FF7

The rest of the game...

Evil Multifarious

I just read a summary of the Star Ocean storyline mentioned previously.

That sounds like it was almost a good idea sparked by hearing about the universe as a simulation.

I missed my opening for Hypospadias [Chat]

I was supposed to be here, but I was somewhere different

I'm really made a cock-up of that

I pissed away that opportunity

@Shazkar Shadowstorm This should be good. John Brown is pretty dope.

omg this is amazing *cries*

The main person got an operator to come on, who reported on how to stop the entry/exit tone, left, and then suddenly the main person went silent, and there was 5 minutes of awkward "can you hear me?" "Yes" ring around the rosie

This is absurd

As always, gay people are the vanguard and rosé sales are for sure on the way up

Straight girls will co-op it from gay dudes during this summer, one presumes

Our conference system just uses beeps for joiners. But it's a loud DOOOT. When someone leaves it's a DOOT doot. The end of conference calls sound like lemmings jumping off a cliff

I loved the world of ruin.

The WoR was great

I can actually, now that my friend has pointed it out, kind of see his complaint - it's an abrupt shift in a lot of things.

But I think that shift is what makes the game great. It could not delve into sorrow and loneliness and the struggle to find meaning in existence without it. If the entire game were in the style of the WoB, it'd be a serviceable RPG. But the WoR stuff, the character growth, the characters' personal victories, and the celebration of life, and love (to directly quote part of the conversation leading to the final battle) is what makes it interesting. I can easily see someone being disappointed if they are in the game for a video game-y plot where they save the world. But if you're in it for characters, for complex stories, then it needs that part of the game, and it does it amazingly. Everything about the world of ruin feels shitty, but at the end everyone separately finds something to live for. I think that's much more important than "WHOO WE SAVED THE PLANET GOOD WORK GUYS"
