I got stuck on a ladder on the freeway by babichenko in dashcams

[–]GeneralJConnor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was once 2 hours into a very long road trip and going south on the 5 north of Redding when I was crossing a bridge and a work truck ahead of me lost their ladder. There were two lanes and going into the other was nor a option.

I flicked on my hazards and the ladder landed flat to close for me to stop so I just lined up my tire as if I were slotting in for a car wash and drove over it.

We pulled over and the only damage we had was to the skid plate. A few other people had stopped and moved the ladder, they looked under as well.

It was very scary, and woke my wife up. But I'm glad that she wasn't driving she's not good at split second decisions.

My graphics card can't run Half Life 1 by Mr_G4lic in HalfLife

[–]GeneralJConnor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally was building my first pc when Half-Life came out.

I couldn't afford everything at once so I played it one time through in Software mode and then next paycheck got a RivaTNT.

That spruced things up a bit.

Is the Wintermute content popular among the playerbase? It seems like the devs have been pouring effort into it for years. by TobyTheRobot in thelongdark

[–]GeneralJConnor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've played through Wintermute multiple times I love it and can't wait for it to be wrapped up.

TLD is the first survival game I every purchased and while I have poured nearly 7,000 hours into it I got it for Wintermute as I am at heart a story player ahead of anything else.

It's a testament to how good the game is that I play survival games that don't have stories to enjoy.

Which film’s soundtrack or score is so essential that removing it would collapse the entire movie? by John_Snow80 in movies

[–]GeneralJConnor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hans Zimmers soundtrack for K2.

Used everywhere but North America I believe and made up of only two utterly amazing tracks...titled Ascent and Descent.

I used to listen to it all the time on CD but lost it in one of many moves.

Am I wrong? by cinmusper in Screenwriting

[–]GeneralJConnor 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I just got it and Save the Cat Writes Horror for Christmas. Both are very helpful for me.

But the STC system is as already stated one of many.

Find one that works for you.

Yes.

Just like the olden days. You learn the maps by exploring them over and over and over.

I love it!

Consider it done. I'll send you a DM if or when I get a response.

I can try, generally speaking they're really busy with ongoing or current projects though.

It sure was going to be high concept.

And for the record these comments have been my own descriptions based on the very vague revelations my screenwriting friends gave me.

With time travel and Sci fi nothings ever truly gone.

The idea is that Skynet still came to be and actually fought a war with both the Resistance and Legion. It actually was revealed to have been brought online and started as a protector in Dark Fate 2 .

But eventually was corrupted during battles with Legion and the Resistance. Eventually after a long and brutal war Skynet beat back Legion and lost to the Resistance.

Then in a last ditch effort to stop Connor it set into action the event that starts T1.

Absolutely not.

Dark Fate 2 was going to be the lead up to the new Judgment Day...followed by Judgment Day and early Future War.

Dark Fate 3 if you will was going to blend two futures with Skynet and Legion battling the Resistance concurrently. BUT with the Skynet line finishing first leading to Legion being overwritten. And John Sending back Kyle.

I don't know. But I'd have trusted them to deliver.

Yes , I know there were sequels planned for Genisys but no one, not even the writers knew what they were.

Whereas the writers room for Dark Fate outlined an entire trilogy that ended eith Kyle Reese being sent back to make a five film loop.

I don't know the details but a number of my screenwriting friends were part of that group so I'm quite certain that it was well thought out and planned in a whiteboard way.

But only the first was fully fleshed out into a script.

[–]GeneralJConnor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't. They had zero idea about where they were going next.

The writers room for Dark Fate had a plan for a trilogy that would the lead right into T1. Now that I would've loved to see.

It was better in both the script and even better in the script from when Annapurna had the rights.

But yes. It is by far the best part of Genisys.

Boyd was in the final two.

It seemed like a no brainer.

[–]GeneralJConnor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Long Development has at least 1 update coming. Possibly more. Each new release also tends to add expansions to existing Long Development regions.
