Stay on target...

Upgraded:

I liked the Tex video. I hope they make it and I will pledge soon.

For Jane Jensen's Moebius, we've hit the goal but are trying for $400k as a stretch goal so she can make the game bigger, add more puzzles, etc. 4 days left. Come on by!

I remember seeing Puggo's avatar.

We'd all be Trekkies.

What gave away that poster was a spambot?

I wouldn't worry too much about the difference in tech, guys.

It's due to 30 years in advanced filmmaking technologies. In this day and age the envelope must be pushed to attract big audiences

The difference in technology within the films' universe(s) can be attributed to the differences between the vessels' purposes. The Nostromo was an old, battered towing ship. It didn't need a lot of advanced tech. The spacecraft in Prometheus is a top of the line scientific research vessel equipped with all the bells and whistles. It really does make enough sense so as to not be a distraction, at least to me.

^ I agree with the above. This is why I haven't invested myself into digital content. I stream music but don't buy any of it. I only really buy games digitally, and in those cases I always choose DRM-free when it's possible to backup the installers.

But the nature of the beast is that people have invested so much into digital libraries. Like I said above, if consumers have solid options to physically back up their digital movies without too much hassle or too many strings attached, it could satisfy most, if not all, consumers.

I'm torn. I've barely bought dvds or blu-rays in the past few years because of various reasons, but I am a person who prefers to have a physical copy when possible. In fact, most of my purchases have been Criterion Collection blu-rays during sales. I haven't opened many of them and almost view them as an investment in case they go out of print.

My biggest gripe with blu-ray would be all of Sony's proprietary bullshit. They are a pain in the ass with licensing the codecs. For example, if you buy a blu-ray drive for a computer you also need to buy a license for one of two or three pieces of software that can actually read blu-rays. It's not "open source" like DVD. This is one of the reasons I rooted for HD-DVD - not because HD-DVD was the better format, but because Sony is a horrible, horrible company.

On the other hand I don't see a market for something beyond blu-ray for anybody except the high level enthusiasts an technophiles. If we end up with three formats on the market at the same time, it could be overwhelming for some people.

My guess is BD is the last major disc format. DVDs still sell quite well and people just aren't ready for upgrades to their hardware and discs. Digital is just too easy for most people. I'd love if digital distribution incorporated a method of having a bit more ownership on your digital content. For example, maybe you download a movie you bought and store it on a blu-ray or hard drive. That file is encrypted such that it can be viewed only on devices you've registered with the digital distributor. This would cut down on piracy and at the same time give people a greater sense of ownership.

Oh, you must finish GK1! You can always check out a long play / let's play on Youtube to see how the game finishes.
