    The Games we play...

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iiDPT04f6rA Should be of interest to you consolites :P Like I said, the biggest problem is the cost of developing for it - it's free for PC and definitely not for consoles. I'm sure they could /make/ it work, they just aren't a big enough studio to do it...

    The Games we play...

    That's turned waaaaaay up for the demo, so you can see the feature, basically. The idea, of course, is for you to not be able to look at the monsters. Works a charm later on!

    Just be warned, it doesn't get any more pleasant and only gets more graphic and scary :P

    The Games we play...

    Aren't you a little young for Amnesia? It deals with some pretty mature themes and is by far the scariest game I've ever played by an Irish mile (and my third favourite because of this - I don't scare in games easily). I'm a big fan of Frictional Games' Penumbra series because they have a...

    The Games we play...

    I was impressed by how polished Wake was (probably due to how bloomin' delayed it was :P), but it didn't really have much more going for it than a good atmosphere and good worldbuilding (I liked the TV shows and so forth). The light mechanics were great and I loved them, but it started...

    2012 coaster for Paultons?

    It was edited by a user called Robgriffiths, who's only been editing the Paultons site. Strangely apt username, no?

    Oakwood's used to be "Oakwood: Coaster Country", until someone realised they only had 4 coasters.

    Oakwood

    Pembrokeshire is a big tourist destination, and the location Oakwood's in is pretty near to places like Tenby or Narberth or something. Hell, they built Bluestone right next door, and that's apparently a draw for people who like a slightly classier version of Center Parks. Caravanning is /so/...

    Oakwood

    Ever since a friend of mine started working there, I've had some interesting conversations with staff. Since Aspro took them over, they've been trimming costs everywhere: * Entrance price went up to £19.95, without anything new being added. * Staff no longer have cooked lunch, and have to...

    Freischütz - Maurer Söhne LSM for Bayern Park

    TPR are doing some coverage for IAPPA now, and whilst at the Maurer booth, they talked about new disco wheels just for this ride, which do something pretty cool (from 5:20) onwards: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMijgqI2eHk EDIT: Didn't see the IAPPA topic before posting this, whoops...

    "Now Showing"

    Ye gods, I've not posted in ages. I suppose this post ought to be excellent to make up for the lack of me :P So, recently I've been to see A Film About Owls (Legend of the Guarsafhdfasd etc) and Let Me In. I enjoyed Owls in a very selfish way. It wasn't a good film, but it did its dirty...

    X:NWO lights on for a week

    My first time on it was with the lights on. I'm ruined, I think it's actually quite a good ride. Like, at least a 6/10. Perhaps even a 6.5.

    PTR Random parks, Kirmes and DRAGONS!! (Tosselilla) finished

    I'm trying to comprehend that sideways bungee ball thing. What on earth... 0-200 in 3 seconds? That's 120mph! Who makes them, anyway?

    variation of opinion

    To go the cognitive bias route:it's a combination of these. 'Course, not all at once. It also probably depends on what the coaster is, who's riding it, and what the day is like.

    Are you a film buff?

    90 as of just now. After coming back from uni, I've basically trawled through the sky movies TV Listings, setting everything i'd like to watch to record. Tonight's film was Das Boot! Of what I've got recorded: Taxi Driver Touch of Evil Who's Afraid of the Virginia Woolf The Good, the Bad...

    "Now Showing"

    I believe that to be entirely deliberate, for reasons that resonate from the last shot backwards through the film - inconsistencies in the props, dialogue, characters and cutting.

    "Now Showing"

    Ben, The Orphanage is "Presented by" Del Toro, rather than produced by. He described the differences in an AICN interview: http://www.aintitcool.com/node/45341 Shame MGM stalled enough to knock him off The Hobbit. Very much looking forward to what he does about Saturn and the End of Days...
