EndreWhiteMane: A ninety dollar game on GOG. Color me shocked! :/
Ouch. No thanks.

Especially when you'll probably get it for £10 - £20 in 12 months time.

j0ekerr: The office remake is supposed to be good.

But the IT crowd is apparently shite.

IAmSinistar: Haven't really watched either, I can't bear American remakes of British comedies. American comedies are generally predictable and quite unfunny, and it's even worse to watch them butcher good source material in the process.

The dramas can fare better in translation, but still typically lack the depth and nuance of the originals. I stick with the British versions whenever feasible.
I wouldn't want to watch the remake of the Office. Finally managed to sit down and give the original series a serious watch, and that is such a character study of an obliviously loathsome person.
Watched it all in one shot beginning to end and thought, "Damn, that was really, really good."
It's interesting that you mention depth and nuance, since in the original Office the entirety of a joke could come down to no more than a raised eyebrow at the camera, and it worked perfectly.

Just saw that a minute ago.
My brain processed it as, "Hmm. I could wait for a sale, and if I'm lucky get 50 games at 80 percent off, or I could spend 90 dollars on that. I know which option I'm going for..."
Absolutely crazy pricing there. I wouldn't pay that for a console game, and I'm used to console games being wayyyyyyy more expensive than PC titles. So 90 for a PC game? No way in frigging hell.

Good morning. =)
Think I got about 4 hours or so, if my math's right.
Did you manage to get any decent sleep on your end?

Absolutely, truly thrilled that they're working on another one. Also, seeing stretch goals like totally revamping cyberware and the Matrix make me very happy since odds are really good that they'll be hit.
Going to leave the contemptible halfwitted douchebag personality concept behind, though. That guy's such an asshole, I want to kill him, and he's my character. -laughs-

If so, it's one I haven't managed to buy yet.
Sorry to hear that you weren't able to get some rest. It's bad enough when I can't, but knowing how much it sucks ass, I really don't like seeing other people have to deal with it.

tinyE: Well the cheesy monster movies sure, but I'm talking about the original Eye, Grudge, Ring (forgive me for not using the proper Japanese titles). I think the acting is fine in those.
avatar
IAmSinistar: Agreed, the Japanese originals are far superior. I didn't even bother with some of the American remakes (notably The Eye and One Missed Call).

avatar
j0ekerr: Yes and no. I'm thinking that if they ever make them, they'd be so changed as to be unrecognizable and have their own personality, not a shot by shot remake with local actors. After all, Brits get a lot of US TV so everybody in the UK has already seen friends, what interest do they have in watching the same thing again.
avatar
IAmSinistar: That's part of my point. I have no desire to watch the American originals of those shows, so a British version would be (hopefully) improved enough to be worth checking out.

NOT THE BEES!!!

The director's cut of the British original is a genuine classic alright. Just picked up the lush Blu-ray edition recently, along with the new definitive editions of some Clive Barker films.

It doesn't worry me anymore,I just nod off any old time.
Do you remember having a sleep and the next morning waking up and feeling on top of the world,after the best night's sleep ever? I don't but apparently some people have these things most nights....Unbelievable:-)

Honestly can't remember the last time I had that feeling when waking up. Usually it's more along the lines of groaning, slowly getting up, then heading for the nearest source of caffeine so I can at least be coherent while feeling like crap. -laughs-
