THIS WEEK ON .ORG
Two week bumper edition due to unfortunate downtime


GAMING AND GAME MAKING


Alexis Hiemis' game Sanadorae; a dark winter tale looks like it might be a good play. It's in Project Discussion at the moment, but there's a load of screenshots up and a lot of custom artwork.

Similarly, I'd check out TheBrownLinx's Infinite Universe, a Sci-Fi game. Stunning screenshots so far.

CREATIVITY AND ART


This week, ArcherRin's concept artwork really stood out to me. It's in Visual Art Analysis. There's a few other threads in there you might want to check out too - VAA is always a This Week favourite it seems.

An old friend popped in to drop off some resources from the unreleased game Sandfall. While in Frankenstine's Lab, it just goes to show that not every great piece of art has to be made from scratch!

Symposium

Firgof made a thread that I would very much like Hybrida to read. Why? This is what real science looks like, honeykins.

Web and Tech

RPGfanatic asks, is Vista worth it? Considering Windows 7 is about to be released, is it still ok to be stuck with XP, or older!?

Apologies for any duplicates here, it's been a long two weeks


Why weren't we here last week?

Brew posted an explanation in Announcements; but basically all you need to know is:

- It was out of our control
- It is hopefully now fixed
- Nothing was lost at all
- We're now in a better situation hosting wise

 

[Firgof Umbra]

Hybrida in an actual science discussion?
I look forward to it. :box:

 

[Guest]

;D

 

[Twirly]

I had a good laugh, thanks.

 

[mawk]

he'd probably bring up the potential of accessible uranium-238 on the moon or something

 

[mawk]

also that obligatory brit looks like he's a fan of My Chemical Romance

 

[mawk]

actually come to think of it it'd be cool if people weaponized the moon

conceptually, I mean. aside from the concept it'd look ugly and the politics would be awkward and I'd feel threatened and angry every time I look at the night sky

I appreciate the night sky thank you

and just imagine how all the werewolves witches and vampires would react

 

[Ellie]

fffffff it's stephen fry

 

[mawk]

I know who stephen fry is but I'm just saying, that hair flip does not do wonders for basically anyone

I think stephen fry and hugh laurie are the only two predominantly england-based actors that most north americans are guaranteed to know about

I mean there was jeeves and wooster which was awesome but now there's also House and the myriad movie roles Fry plays

 

[Ellie]

~ fair enough

Just don't mention V for Vendetta... the bastards...

 

[mawk]

I thought he was quite good in that movie. who are you, Alan Moore?

 

[Ellie]

I mean they beat him up some

 

[Guest]

;D

 

[mawk]

it really is. I have a bunch of old vhs tapes of some episodes, no idea where we got them.

 

[KuidonNZ]

Man, Jeeves and Wooster is really fucking good, I should buy a box-set.

Ive never seen it.
But I have seen the first three seasons of 'A Bit Of Fry And Laurie' which was fucking awesome.

Anyways, awsome twodo, and awesome two weeks here.

 

[dadevvtsvre]

no terrorist attacks matter unless they are on the united states. duh.

The July 2005 London Bombings

LOL :P

 

[Lazer Kirby]

LOL July 2005 London Bombings instead of September 11th

 

[Incognitus]

I mean they beat him up some

That was the moment in which the film became Serious Business: You don't beat up Stephen Fry.

Frankly his performance as a left-wing satirical closeted comedian under a repressive homophobic right-wing government was one of the few things in the film that had conviction. I don't know why. :wink:

[mtgmaster]

I was just about to ask why it's important for americans and not brits. Then I realised it was just September 11th. Hurrr Durrrrrr.
