Peter Pan, Alice in wonderland, and The Iron Man were also all written by UK authors. Although I haven't read The Iron Man for a very long time so I can't remember how closely the Iron Giant movie uses the source material.
Been running only Linux for 3 years and the only time I couldn't get a game to work was trying to play some 15 year old RTS games cross platform with friends.
A lot of modern games definitely don't do story well. The amount of times I download a game for 10 mins of exposition before starting or not getting to play while the game tells rather than shows is outrageous.
The perfect game for me would start immediately and have any exposition happen via audio while being able to play the game.
Well, I think it comes down to a fundamental belief on consciousness. If you're non religious, you probably think that consciousness is a purely biological and understandable process. This is complete understandable and should be replicable. Therefore, artificial intelligence. But it's hard as dong to do well.
Fall of house Usher episode 1: Conversation between 2 people about a man we don't know is in a strange house. Next shot we have focused on a car pulling up and a slow reveal of someone leaving the car. But it's the same person as previous scene.
Just why? Why slow reveal the person in the scene just seconds before? We pull up to the house and don't focus on his face for his reaction OR the house itself for our own reaction. Instead we get the end of a car advertisment and some shoes.
The only one I tried was so slow and pathetic that it's completely put me off the idea. Was it just a bad example?
