    Does anyone know of a good forum/community to sell video gaming items?

    Just wondering if anyone here knows of any good, forums that they personally use (not ebay/amazon etc). Have tons of video game stuff, rare/mint games just sitting in storage for 10+ years. The site I was a member of has been closed so now i'm looking around the net for a new one(s).

    sound Abuse of stock sound effects hurting a project's identity(?)

    That's a really selfish and awful thing to do. First, profit off of others' work. Then, disregard people's well being that have unwittingly been pulled into their copyright infringement. This seems to happen a lot with stock imagery and perhaps videos also, unfortunately.

    movies What does indietalk things about Indian Cinema

    The Apu trilogy is great in my view. Beautiful B&W photography. Despite their technically lenthy runtimes. I didn't even notice while watching. They flew by for me. If i'm remembering correctly, these films were almost lost forever. I don't remember where I saw it, but there's a restoration...

    sound Abuse of stock sound effects hurting a project's identity(?)

    So it could be an episode of Supernatural or Charmed on TV or a big budget movie, and all of these shows keep recycling the same sound effects. I get using certain sounds such as audio sweeteners and thuds and such things for fight scenes and sound layering. Those tend to take a reasonable...

    news ‘Grease’ Prequel Series ‘Rise of the Pink Ladies’ Sets April Paramount+ Premiere — Watch Teaser

    Hah, I did the same thing. That's one of the last big series I watched. It is like one big movie. I found the complete series box set in mint condition at a thrift store at the time for only $6.00 and it was money well spent! Nate: you sir are hilarious in some of the thngs you say. Practically...

    news ‘Grease’ Prequel Series ‘Rise of the Pink Ladies’ Sets April Paramount+ Premiere — Watch Teaser

    I'm not much a fan of westerns. Clint Eastwood I like though. War movies tend to be propaganda over accuracy. The problem is today's characters seem hollow. There's very little to no character development or layers. They're just.. there. This film here for example...

    news ‘Grease’ Prequel Series ‘Rise of the Pink Ladies’ Sets April Paramount+ Premiere — Watch Teaser

    I'm generally not an advocate for remakes. Most I feel are unwarranted. But yes, one of the reasons for a remake is to make it modern. But older movies used to be more subtle and with subtext. Today's movies/shows are preachy and the story usually takes a backseat to agendas.

    directors Who is the best director of all time?

    Hahaha, yes. I can see in my mind the 'Spitter' venom burning Nedry's face off. I mean i'm not a gorehound, just that it would've seemed organic to the scene.

    The good ole' retro-fitted remakes. Take an existing IP and force current social events into it and away we go!

    news ‘Grease’ Prequel Series ‘Rise of the Pink Ladies’ Sets April Paramount+ Premiere — Watch Teaser

    Yeah, that's a great point. No series really seems to grab my attention anymore. If it did, I don't think i'd even notice the runtime.

    directors Who is the best director of all time?

    I think there is no best director, only possibly a pick of best directors for a given project. Give two directors the same or virtually the same project and you'll likely end up with two very different movies. Ex: The Cave vs. The Descent. For all of its technical achievements, the original...

    news ‘Grease’ Prequel Series ‘Rise of the Pink Ladies’ Sets April Paramount+ Premiere — Watch Teaser

    I've given up nearly on watching any/all series' by this point, regardless of technical or story quality. They suffer from Never-gonna-end syndrome. They've all become cliffhanger bait. Mini-series are fine, though. I mean get to the point already! Or perhaps better said, "Shit or get off the pot!"

    Montauk Point/selling calm

    This is looking good. Is this going to be a stand-alone game? I had the first covid, whatever it was called. Felt like being punched in the head by Mike Tyson lol. Hope you're better now. About time standing still scenes in movies - I think that The Terminator (1984) before the shootout has a...

    Narration Test - The Red Mansion

    I liked the narration overall, just sounds perhaps a little stiff but still good. For the cat being thirsty, like what if the sound design changes only when it needs water; the water sources being more amplified while walking past or near one? Cats sweat through their paw pads. What about...

    This is strange

    Hey James, I can remember all kinds of interested shops when I was little - thrift stores, candy stores, misc. "Mom & Pop" stores, and Halloween/effects-type shops like you mentioned. Now most of those things are gone and replaced with commercialism. I'll never forget those places though; the...

    An Outtake

    Thanks, Nate! Strange thing, 2160 and 1440p have no audio, but 1080 and 720p do. So I just downloaded both 2160 and 1080.

    An Outtake

    Nate, that's a beautiful video. Thanks for sharing. Is the music yours also? Cats are great, always had a strong connection with them personally. And it works as a nice music video on its own. Do you still have the original 4k file or a download option?

    This is strange

    There's some really slimy weasels out there. No self-respect, integrity or respect for others.. so many people walking around with corrupted moral codes. I couldn't do something like that. I'd feel guilt and certainly wouldn't feel as if i'd earned my place; people who do such things (like in...

    ..the horror stories 😵‍💫 I had some experimental ambience horror-themed tracks made years ago - not very good quality or mixing or anything, but still - my work. I thought they were gone forever after a HDD crash many years ago. I was a lot more careless then. I thought the tracks were gone...
