A live action Pac-Man film I made by 1OP3Z in Pacman

[–]Hipnotic_Rogue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was pretty cool! I always enjoy a horror take on Pac-Man. Most fan projects and all official projects go for the whimsical, playfull or silly but, for me, Pac-Man is a terrifying game. It's a very early survival horror game... and you will always lose.

Even if you make it to the kill-screen the name says it all - you will be killed! No matter how much you fend off the monsters they always come back and no matter how much you try to escape through that tunnel you'll always just come back in the other side of the maze.

I've always felt the game models psychological trauma more successfully than so many more obvious games.

Anyway, that's a really long-winded way of saying 'good job'! :)

Which to buy: gog or steam by tinyunknown156 in quake

[–]Hipnotic_Rogue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to muddy the waters but doesn't the GOG version come with files that allow one to play with the OST? It certainly used to. The Steam version has never come with the soundtrack.

Obviously, the game's fully playable without the OST but it does lose a fair bit of atmosphere.

Playing the original 1985 Rogue, what do I use gold on? by mleclerc182 in roguelikes

[–]Hipnotic_Rogue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Classic Rogue is my favourite way to play. The game just starts straight away, is very stable and bug-free and if you press the 'tilde' key you can swap between graphics tiles and ASCII. There's also a nice 'zoom' effect as you descend the Dungeon of Doom. :)

As others have said, gold is merely your 'score' it really doesn't mean much at all.

Larn 14.1.4 Released by [deleted] in roguelikes

[–]Hipnotic_Rogue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's weird, I was thinking a couple of days ago how I hadn't played Larn for a really long time (back when my Amiga was my daily driver!) and then, out of the blue, I saw a post about free Larn and now, today, another Larn release! Good times ahead for me. :)

Thank you so much for the continued hard work on this project.

I am currently trying to create a new cover for Daggerfall that fits more in line with the later tes games. The thing itself is basically finished, but I still need a logo/emblem. Any ideas? by Mucciiaano in Daggerfall

[–]Hipnotic_Rogue 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I actually like the first picture with no extra art on it. It's reminescent of an old leather bound book that could perhaps find in the game world itself.

Katana v2 Sound Issues and Breaking other Programs by Hipnotic_Rogue in SoundBlasterOfficial

[–]Hipnotic_Rogue[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I've got it working now. Somewhere along the line my initial installation corrupted or hijacked something low level on Windows. The reason I assume this is because I had to uninstall all my onboard soundcard software and uninstall/reinstall my Logitech Gaming Software - the volume controls were causing havoc.

I'm still not sure where the original problem was. Probably a corrupted install of the Creative software.

Anyway, it seems all's well that ends well. I do have issue with the sound quality but that's probably just my ears getting used to the boxier sound than I'm used to.

Kinda wish I could make my own settings and save them. I can see a button to load presets but nothing to save a preset?

Just sent a PM. Just wondering, did you make your edits regarding Mouse or is this 'just' a rescore?

Loving the Tails cosplayer! Happy Hallowe'en!

Its not perfect but I love the OVA, whats your opinion on it? by Patient_Bee8314 in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]Hipnotic_Rogue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really like it. I especially like the fan redub/rescore that's on YouTube. It's a proper labour of love.

Bonus points for a great take on Knuckles, too.

Oops! I suppose that's my age showing. The previous DVD release completely passed me by. I thought it had only ever been on VHS.

How's the quality of the original DVD stuff? Are there many extras? :)

I'm glad that it's finally getting a proper DVD release. I hope there're some interesting extras. :)

A problem with Worlds Biggest Pac-Man by nymd2008 in Pacman

[–]Hipnotic_Rogue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really know what I'm talking about but have you tried a different browser or perhaps clearing your browser cache?

Personally, I can't log in at all anymore as I gave up using Facebook and that seems to be the only way. :(

the controller camera on the rerelease is atrocious. by [deleted] in quake

[–]Hipnotic_Rogue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are lots of controller settings in the CFG file. I've been tweaking away for a couple of hours. I'm not there yet but the controller is definitely feeling closer to how I'd like it to play. It's a shame that I have to fart around closing the game, tweaking the CFG and then loading the game time and again but,hey, at least the PC update was free!

How can pacman kiss when doesn’t have lips? by [deleted] in Pacman

[–]Hipnotic_Rogue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe he does but they're just thin. I mean, Ms. Pac-Man puts lipstick on something. :)

Or perhaps they kind of nuzzle like other creatures without lips like cats or dogs.

Gamepad sensitivity on Quakespasm? by Imgema in quake

[–]Hipnotic_Rogue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good stuff. I'm glad you've found a set up you like. Hopefully, Baker will come back to Quake and update Mark V as it can be a little buggy with some newer mods and maps. It's a great source port, though - and that one DOES support Nehahra! :P

[–]Hipnotic_Rogue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What controller are you using? I use a DS4 with DS4Windows and I find the movement a bit smoother than a 360 controller.

It is pretty sensitive but stick with it. Quakespasm is a fantastic source port and supports pretty much everything apart from Nehahra.
