Seriously though, this movie is freaking CRAZY. Watch it.

@Gamrok I watch it almost every year, even though I don't think it's that great of a movie. 😅

@kai Ok, Vidocq is *much* both more fun and more crazy than Battlefield Earth.

I wanted to put this up during the spooky season, but the Internet Archive was in read-only mode then.
The MKV is just a direct stream copy of video, audio (English & French) & subtitle (English & Spanish) tracks, no re-encoding. Grab that if you don't want to deal with an ISO.

Vidocq (2001) is the 1st major feature film that was shot entirely on HD digital video. A French film directed by special effects guru Pitof (Catwoman) & designed by Marc Caro (The City of Lost Children,) it is a fascinating blend of fantasy horror and visual excess. It is also not very good.
One of my all time guilty pleasures. This is its only US release - a single layer DVD that surprisingly includes an English dub:

@damianogerli The UI could definitely use some work. But seems like an interesting historical adventure game, at least for the little while that I've played of it.

I am a very cautious and safe Tetris player. My body *rejects* all attempts of trying to create a set-up for a t-spin triple. 😭😭😭

Jungle life
I'm far away from nowhere
On my own like MIDI boy
Hide and seek
I play alone while rushing cross the forest
Monkey business on a sunny afternoon

Your reminder that you could be playing any old Microsoft Flight Simulator for DOS *right now* instead of waiting to log into MSFS2024. 🤷♂️

@wbpeckham Asked around and apparently these days people are building from this, which is based on the 2017 code

@Gamrok Just by looking it up right now learned that Jamestown apparently supports one mouse per local player. That's a 4 player game.

@Gamrok You might be surprised to learn that two people can play split screen multiplayer in Serious Sam 3 with two keyboards and two mice. It is still very much possible, and occasionally still happens.

@Hexa I most certainly have.

@SevenStack Unfortunately I am not a cat yet. 😢

@root42 Once I'm a cat I plan on expanding my horizons. 🤷

Them: where do you see yourself in the future?

@mcc I feel like these are the kind of answers I can only get on Mastodon.
