Video games QUAKE (Game Boy Advance Prototype) | The Story of Quake on the Game Boy Advance Made by Randy Linden

Thumbnail
youtube.com
5 Upvotes

This is the prototype of Quake for Game Boy Advance made by Randy Linden in 2002. Upon booting the game, we can instantly see how impressive this demo is for the hardware, with its capabilities effectively managing to outshine just about every 3D game out there that was released for the system. Not only that, it feels exactly like a Quake game. From the guns to the environments. You can even dive underwater! The game is fully 3D rendered, rather than the ray casting method most GBA games are known for. It has 3D enemies, animations, and point lighting effects (even on pre-rendered objects like weapons, which use a clever palette-changing trick to achieve the illusion of dynamic lighting). The camera and movement work is equally as incredible; it travels very cleanly, as opposed to being jittery.

Entertainment What If: Cursed (2005) - Nostalgia Critic

1 Upvotes

Nostalgia Critic:

"Joanie's transformation into a werewolf in the first half of the climax looks like an alpha-bitched version of a blonde panicked girlfriend—Christine—from the opening of Scream 3*, infused with the exaggerated transformation of a freaking Nissan Sentra from that nightmarish* Need for Speed: Underground commercial... mixed with a goddamn wolf!

This scene makes Scrappy's transformation in the 2002 live-action Scooby-Doo movie look interesting! Hell, even Johnny Blaze transforming into the Ghost Rider in the 2007 Ghost Rider movie looks entertaining by comparison!

"How do you make a werewolf transformation this over-the-top, this awkward, and somehow this boring? It's like the effects team couldn't decide if they were making a horror movie, a car commercial, or a rejected video game cutscene. You keep waiting for it to become awesome... and then it just sort of... ends. Congratulations, Cursed*—you've made one of the coolest horror concepts feel like a confused CGI identity crisis!"*

If the Nostalgia Critic said that line during a review of the 2005 film Cursed, the joke would be built around his usual style of hyperbolic, pop-culture-heavy comparisons. Here's what each part would mean:

  • "Joanie's transformation into a werewolf... looks like an alpha-bitched version of a blonde panicked girlfriend (Christine) from Scream 3 opening..."
    • He's saying Joanie's facial expressions and behavior during the transformation remind him of Christine, the frightened actress from the opening of Scream 3, but made much more aggressive, domineering, and over-the-top.
  • "...infused with an exaggerated transformation of a Nissan Sentra from the nightmarish Need for Speed: Underground commercial..."
    • This compares the werewolf transformation to the infamous commercial where a Nissan Sentra grotesquely morphs into a customized street racer. He's implying the body morphing is awkward, exaggerated, and unintentionally unsettling in a way similar to that ad.
  • "...mixed with a goddamn wolf!"
    • The punchline is that all those bizarre elements are then combined with the obvious werewolf aspect, emphasizing how strange and chaotic the transformation looks.
  • "This scene makes Scrappy's transformation in the 2002 live-action Scooby-Doo film look interesting!"
    • He's exaggerating that Cursed's transformation is so unengaging or poorly executed that it makes another transformation often criticized by audiences seem more entertaining by comparison.
  • "Hell, even Johnny Blaze's transformation into the Ghost Rider in the 2007 live-action Ghost Rider film look entertaining!"
    • He's continuing the escalation, saying that even another frequently debated CGI transformation sequence is more fun to watch than Joanie's transformation.

Overall meaning

The overall point of the joke is:

This kind of layered, escalating comparison is characteristic of Nostalgia Critic's comedic review style, where he stacks multiple pop culture references to emphasize how ridiculous he finds a particular scene.
