    Listened to you's guys podcast on the way into work this morning. I haven't played any of the Star Fox games but I enjoyed listening to the podcast regardless and look forward to the next one.

    Looks like I'm getting a loan of a RED camera again next week. A EPIC this time and not the RED ONE.

    Anything retro I should record in 5k?
    I've already done the candy cab and a few other bits in 4k with the RED ONE before xmas.

    I'm getting the Red pro prime set of lense as well so I can test them out as I only had a 35mm last time.
    So anyone ever want some retro gameplay or anything recorded in 5k?


    p_epic.png

    I only got about 25mins of footage per 128GB memory cart on the RED ONE so I'm expecting about 15-20mins per 128GB on the EPIC at 5k so the videos cant be very long as I only have the one cart unfortunately.

    Looks like that new boards URL filterer doesn't like that link.

    There's another one in another cancelled cop show where the good guys chase the bad guy in an MMO as if the characters catching up to one another would even mean anything.

    Don't think so. But she's playing along just using her hands while the other guy is playing, that's how he spots that she must be REALLY good!

    There a "Level 10" in PoP?

    The worst game in a show was the appearance of a Second Life type game in the truly awful Ghost Whisperer, now thankfully cancelled.

    American TV, you just gotta love it.
    My girlfriend hates watching CSI with me. Whenever anything technical comes on I just go mental with how wrong they are.

    I mean who types emails in size 120 fonts, come on.

    Ghost Whisperer did at least have two good things going for it.

    Oh man, Hacking. As someone who used to "test" system vulnerabilities a long time ago it really makes me laugh when they show someone hacking or getting hacked in shows.
    Flashy flashy, green terminal screen in size 50 font, multiple windows opening and closing, the source html from some website scrolling etc etc etc. dude I just hacked you.

    ridiculous depections of videogames (and related, like what is mentioned above) in film and television

    We all look forward to it.:D

    The real question is, has there ever been a good representation of games on screen?

    The original Tron perhaps...

    The obvious answer is Gamecentre CX :)

    My other vote goes to the wing commander movie.

    I was flicking through Netflix last night and saw "The Wizard" listed. I'm tempted to watch it...

    Adam Sandler plays Shadow of the Colossus in "Reign Over Me."

    In general the games are played pretty normally in The Wizard if I remember correctly... well... except that it makes it look like the Power Glove is actually of some use.

    It's an exploitative piece of ****. But it worked. It made me think that the powerglove was amazing and made me excited about Mario Bros 3 when I had a commodore at the time.

    I'm not sure about that, the girl in the film had psychic powers since she knew where the warp whistle was in a game that had yet to be released.
