Re: Hamster People Movie Place
Shanghai Knights (2003) 7/10 A very strange Jackie Chan film and the sequel to Shanghai Noon. The premise of the original film was that Chan was in a western, with Owen Wilson as his idiotic sidekick. The premise of this one is that now they're in England...because Jackie, or I should say Chon Wang'...

House (1977) 9/10 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tcSn1iGt0U A bizarre and psychedelic Japanese haunted house film. Seven Japanese schoolgirls go to one of their aunt's mansion, who turns out to be a witch. Describing the film's plot is quite easy, but describing what happens is a bit harder. Call...

The Beyond (1981) 5/10 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sC2q23WFDEQ Another movie I'm really just seeing because there's a game based off it. Only, the adaptation of it is an unlicensed text adventure. I'm not really a gore hound, though I did like Black Cat. This is Lucio Fulci's attempt at making ...

Dylan Dog: Dead of Night (2010) 4/10 "Adaptation" of the classic Italian comic book. "Adaptation", since the only thing it has in common with the series is the name of the main character, that he uses a revolver, has a sidekick and there are zombies. Well, what I've read of the ...

Sweet Home (1989) 6/10 In preparation for playing the game Sweet Home, I decided to try out the film it was based off of. Well, kind of based off of. Apparently that's some sort of point of contention. Anyway, this is one of the few movies with a video game adaptation better known than it. The plot...

Dawn of the Dead (1978) 10/10 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4Xw_7BUXic Romero's iconic film about 4 people trying to survive in the face of a zombie apocalypse. Very good film, worthy of all the praise it gets. Compared to films that came out in its wake, Dawn does an excellent job of explaining...

Re: Hamster People Movie Place
Titus, huh? Not necessarily against *that*, I like the films of Meiko Kaji, but the supposed brutality of it makes me a bit squeamish. That said, I do seem to be accidentally only watching Shakespeare films starring Olivier, since I also saw his Richard III some years ago. Have been meaning to try t...

Henry V (1944) 8/10 The classic Shakespeare directed by and starring Laurence Olivier. Produced as propaganda during WWII, this version of the play cuts out a lot of the morally ambiguous nature of the figure and lionizes him. Somehow it works despite being attempt to hype up Britain's defense again...

Floating Weeds (1959) 8/10 Ozu's film about a wandering actor troupe who return to a small town where the leader had a child out of wedlock. Personal conflict ensues when the leader's current girlfriend finds out about this. Its not that grand of a film, just about a few humans trying to find their...

Re: Hamster People Movie Place
I like a lot of movies, but right now I'm on a western and noir kick. Best in recent memory was Key Largo, starring Humphrey Bogart, Edward G. Robinson and Lauren Bacall. Its a lot more interesting than a simple film set in a Florida hotel might sound. These gangsters are staying in the hotel becaus...

Re: book club
I've been slowly going through Will Durant's The Story of Civilization, which was intended to be an all-encompassing book on human history as it was known at that time. Not as thorough as a dedicated book would be, but Durant's writing style is nice, makes what would be a very dense book a lot less ...

Re: Non RPG OHR Games
That's not even the finished version of Star Dartle there, there's a finished version in the compilation it was made for:
https://willyelektrix.itch.io/1999megallennium
And the rest of the compilation fits the non-RPG bill.
Ad Mortem also fits:

Re: New OHRRPGCE scripting features in Ichorescent
Clarifying because I don't use slices a lot. Does this mean that slices effectively have a ton of variables? If so that's quite convenient for me, because I put a game on a backburner because part of the basic gameplay would have required thousands of global variables before even going past anything...

Re: NSFW Conerns and the Slime Salad Gamelist!
Couldn't people just label any NSFW games they've made as NSFW somewhere in the description? And for people who aren't around or if there's something else a moderator could add it to the description. Yes, its the honor system, but then again most of the internet revolves around that for adult conten...

Re: Is there a guide for first-persons and point-and-click adventures?
Every first-person RPG done in the style of Lands of Lore and Dungeon Master is doing so as a matter of illusion. The tile-based first-person view is slightly more difficult in OHR than it is in other engines. I say slightly, because the real difficulty is in changing the engine's default controls. ...
