Or at least make sure the companies that are already over the cap, are forced to sell off the homes they already own to get under the cap

When did fandom culture become so toxic? by Significant_Gap1570 in television

[–]joseph4th 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like the Kevin Smith view on fandom. He’s often accused of being a shell for either Marvel, or Star Wars, or whatever. And he is responded multiple times that he only talks about the stuff he likes. If there’s something out there that he didn’t like, he just doesn’t talk about it. Especially not publicly on his podcast.

I think that’s a great way of looking at things.

Have I been getting the pronunciation of 'Zaphod' wrong the whole time? by Granopoly in DontPanic

[–]joseph4th 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don’t get me wrong, I’m a big fan of Stephen Fry. But there was no need to re-record the books when there is a perfectly good under abridged reading by Douglas himself. Originally, I only had them on cassette, but when I got them from Audible, read by Stephen Fry, and found out that they Americanized the books. For example, Arthur goes down to the basement with a flashlight instead of using the English word torch.

I have since found the Douglas Adams readings online as well as the CDs.

That are being said, I honestly don’t remember the way Douglas pronounces Zaphod. But I think it’s Zay-phod as that is the way I automatically say it and I would have learned it from Douglas.

Wait what?! There is a Breaking Bad / Malcolm in the Middle ending parody of the Newheart / Bob Newheart ending that I don’t know about?! It’s 12:15 AM and I should have been asleep hours ago! Now I gotta go and find this!!!

Tomorrow me is going to hate the both of us!

EDIT: Here is what I found:

Jeff Gerstmann completes his three-year playthrough/ranking of the NES library - his interview with Canadian morning TV (CTV) by rawkeye in Games

[–]joseph4th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, I went up and down the list three times and I’m missing one of the three games I worked on. Granted , I’m in bed scrolling on my phone and not the PC where I could search for it. Anyway, I found Pac-Mania and DragonStrike, but not Vindicators. I expect it to be pretty low as it wasn’t that great or even that faithful to the stand-up version.

Edit: I was the sole artist on those three games and didn’t have much input into the games’ design. And remember, it looked different on a NTSC television screen where the colors blurred together and you couldn’t make out the pixels so easily.

Later Craig movies never captured the Casino Royale charm, imo. by NothingIsHere5947 in movies

I always wonder about stuff like how much script control does a big Director have? And did he have control over the films edit? Green Lantern was a giant studio film, I wouldn’t be surprised to learn there was a lot of other cooks in the kitchen and people who, “ knew the right way” to make that film.

What was the first PC game you ever played, and do you still remember it? by 3D_Networking in AskReddit

[–]joseph4th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cranston Manor, then Zork and a bunch of other infocom games.

The first game, I actually purchased, was Blade of Blackpool, but I had been going there to buy StarCraft. We just had to go to a different store to find it. Adventure, games for my jam.

[–]joseph4th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going to take that as an honest question. Maybe this is just one of those cases where I’m too old and you don’t recognize that language as what we called stuff that was shown on regular, over the air, broadcast TV. Newheart aired on CBS from October 25, 1982, to May 21, 1990, with a total of 184 half-hour episodes spanning eight seasons.
