  • Haha I think of that look more often than is probably needed, like an elementary school kid mocking someone. Which for the movie was great and at the time fit well for that time. Nowadays who’d ever to think of doing similar on tv? Except maybe someone without shame.

    I don’t know Emo Philips at all but him just willing to do that bit and the good Christian joke flood bit that I’ve read and made me think he was cool. Like what God cares if we do one tiny bit differently? Mean maybe murder but that’s not up for debate…well a few examples stick out unless he’s a real hardass about it. Hah I’d love to defend that line if there were a pearly gates.



  • Lol that’s exactly how I saw it as well. Recursive gets those nesting dolls look in my head, loops are the same size but repeated, even if infinite. Yes even if the code is almost the same since you can write a loop recursively anyways (okay haven’t tested but seems like it’d work mostly fine but not always as clean).

    I think the beauty of it is that the joke can be amusing in multiple ways. Those are the best jokes to me, cause I can think of different ways the next time I see them.


  • I do see what you’re saying but how I see it, and thinking of all the awful movie tie in games from NES era, ET felt better than average in theme. He had to find the phone pieces and avoid the government agents while wandering in the woods. Not too too different from the movie theme in overall thinking.

    Now I’m not saying gameplay was good or anything but think of all the cheesy tie in movie games of the NES era, they’re all some random platformer which sometimes alluded to they had a movie name. Of course there were good ones but best ones I can think of were Duck Tales and Rescue Rangers, not tied to a specific movie or episode. Then you get your Back to the Future has little to do with the actual movie.





  • I’ve rewritten much of my code as needs changed, I call myself an idiot a lot since I’ve worked on this program nearly a decade and was my first professional software so often change old code I wrote. Though it was more additional at first since I used a lot of code the lead programmer did. Though he duplicated everything as needed for a tiny change ugh. Least I know how not to do it.


  • I always thought it was Raiden too to the point I didn’t realize there was a Rayden spelling. Sounds like a fabric or non stick coating. Mean I didn’t play a ton of Mortal Kombat but knew, what I think was Scorpions finisher (?) in MK1 on Genesis, Start up up? Probably forgetting but that’s the only one I could remember enough to use back in it’s time…in the early 90s it was nothing short of fantastic to see them, even without the blood code for Genesis.




  • Last time I read about it I was curious who he’d play, I was just listening to Dune before seeing this and finally realized that was the only real role (unless it was a recast one, but that seemed unlikely) that’d be worthwhile for a more well known actor…I guess it could have been the guild navigator, I forgot about him.

    Mean there are a few minor roles that they could expand on but why would they focus on irrelevant items when there’s so much story to cover? Oh…

    I say that as enjoying Dune as a cinematic movie but they really didn’t do the story justice. So much great intrigue story with it barely discussed. I only did watch them once so maybe missed some finer points





  • The part that killed it for me when it came out was it was called the next Star Wars (heck it may have been one article but I grew up in the middle of nowhere, kinda like Luke heh, but it was closer to Hoth than Tatooine), like I can enjoy it fine, actually a favourite, but nowhere near the enjoyment I get out of the original trilogy. Okay I’ll admit the original trilogy has a huge nostalgia factor but you don’t think of that when you’re like 16.

    I do think it’s a really fun movie overall, super green.
