  Killing an artist at his gallery is totally normal Ross. It's called performance art

  An evil vampire being called Gareth is hilarious from a Welsh perspective. Gareth is like, the most mundane name ever here. It's like a vampire lord being called Bill or something.

  I have a physical copy of this game and the manual mentions you could have sent 6 photos of yourself to the developer along with $15 and they would send you back a floppy disc that allowed you to add yourself as one of the "playable" faces. There is literally no amount of money I would not pay to track down if anyone actually sent in for one of those floppies.

  This is why I love Ross. He starves me of content for months. And then just when Im about to die, he feeds me with two greats in a row. He&apos;s like the old testament God. Just testing my faith.

  Man this honestly doesn&apos;t seem too bad considering what I assume is a budget consisting of 5 dollars, an unbranded soda and a greenscreen.

  Note the excessive purple light on the actors’ long hair and sheer leggings. In these days, chroma was done with a green screen fabric lit by banks of Kino-Flo’s (fluorescent tubes) with green gels. If the foreground actor or object was too close to the fabric or the green Kino banks were too bright, green light spilled onto them, creating headaches during keying.<br><br>To counter this, a DP could set up Kinos with purple gels to fill the green spill. If done incorrectly, the actor or object would now have purple lighting on them instead of green. The object is to remove any green reflection, not replace it.<br><br>My experience was limited to smaller low budget shows, but I saw this remedy employed when the green screen wasn’t large enough (so the actor needed to get closer to it) cuz the green screen “stage” was simply the corner of a warehouse that also housed the sets. Or—and this last isn’t mutually exclusive—the crew were mooks. <br><br>The creators of Gothos, especially costuming, could’ve solved this problem beforehand by simply doing test shoots of the actors and costuming and finding that, for example, using sheer or light color leggings on the ladies of the night picked up the green Kino blaze, then changed the costume to darker nylons.<br><br>Small point but my eye keeps catching on it.

  So it looks like Ross DID win that complete collection of Microforum games from Maabus, and we&apos;re getting some videos on them.

  This really is like a VtM LARP except there’s no arguing about who contributed to the snack table or not.

  I can&apos;t stop laughing at how ridiculous the protagonist&apos;s lines are. It&apos;s like they&apos;re randomly grabbed from a large pool and parsed through a budget text-to-speech program.
