Hidden Machine

Last year, I had the opportunity to interview Ed Logg, the programmer behind games like Asteroids, Centipede, Gauntlet, and many more. That interview was originally intended to be part of a straightforward career retrospective. However, over the proceeding months...

@L1nko64 I was coming home from work to play this on my lunch breaks because I was hooked.

I forgot the 'yeah Doom 2016' post yesterday so yeah Doom 2016!

@yasharoskoui @aHeartOfGould Idk. I’ve been loving movies since my first 13” black and white TV. Remasters are fun, but I can enjoy a movie just as much in a different format. I’ll probably live long enough to see this loop around to a discussion on 8K remasters, I don’t see an end to this fidelity quest.

@MachineHidden @aHeartOfGould At a 4k remastered film

Someone has to keep Fincher away from the 4K remasters of his films. The new FIGHT CLUB UHD is almost heartbreakingly antiseptic and bright. Gone is the grit, the inkblank blood and shadows. The final scene by the window now looks like it was shot at 4:45 PM on a bright gray day.

@tapemachines Somebody should have had some sort of “ass guy” gimmick

Months before the "Austin 3:16" promo in 1996, "ass" had already become the hot new word in the WWF and WCW. Michaels, Flair, Savage, Diesel. Everyone was saying it. "Ass" this and "ass" that.

@SeanMBurns My band plays Strokin at many of our shows ever since I heard it in Killer Joe. People love it!

RIP to the great Clarence Carter. Here’s what William Friedkin told me at the Harvard Film Archive in 2014 when I asked him about ending KILLER JOE with “Strokin’.”

@kitworldz You have to wait and post when all 5k are online at the exact same time

it’s crazy that you can have 5k followers and have tweets that get 1 like. accursed hellsite.

@sonyxperia Is this bait

The new AI Camera Assistant* with Xperia Intelligence brings stories to life. Using subject, scene and weather, it suggests expressive options with adjustments of colour, exposure, bokeh, and lens for breathtaking photos*. sony.co.jp/en/xperia-1m8/… #SonyXperia #Xperia1VIII

@HalfSheardSheep It was a weird time, but it seems like the actual human narrator is back on the job (or the AI got a lot better)

@MachineHidden This was the first thing that came up when I searched for whether or not the channel used AI. Relieving to see that other people thought the same

There is a controversy on YouTube right now, people are trying to figure out if one the former voiceover persons for the Weird History Food channel (Tom Blank) has been replaced with an AI voice made to sound like him. I’d love to get to the bottom of this one!

@RealDanSpivey Gone too soon. That character was great

Introducing the #WWE audience to Waylon Mercy in 1995. Just a man in search of peace... You know what I mean

@LucasFerrero83 @RenzoAdler Thanks! I forgot about Veitch doing all of those print on demand books, I have a lot to catch up on

@MachineHidden @RenzoAdler Boy maximortal and the True man the maximortal.

I shoulda read this ages ago! Veitch's Brat Pack is ugly, delirious, and apocalyptic. It also made me think of the insidious nature of nostalgia as something that both corrupts and can be corrupted.

@LucasFerrero83 @RenzoAdler What is the new series?

@RenzoAdler Are you reading the new series?

@sarcophagus_v lol I tried, it's not playing anywhere near me

@MachineHidden fandango.com

took me too long to realize I was watching a cam bootleg of Hokum, the people in the audience would not stop talking and I thought the movie was just doing something very strange with its sound design

@artmeetscience_ Definitely better than the bootlegs I used to get where the guy couldn't hold the camera steady

@MachineHidden The image quality has jumped that much as to be passable for the raw picture? Wow Last time I watched one of those was years and years ago when Wreck It Ralph was screening and we didn’t have money to go to theaters

@nWo4lifeWCW @Sting Fond memories of picking this issue up on the way out of town on a camping trip

The Man, The Myth, The Legend THE ICON @Sting

@FKATGB110822 @nWo4lifeWCW @Sting Yes!

@nWo4lifeWCW @Sting Is this a real magazine?

@heyphilsummers @HagensAlley Great colors here!

Illustration I put together for @HagensAlley's Metroidvania Chronicles book a few years ago. I've always loved Kinu Nishimura's work, especially her old Capcom collages, so I thought bringing together all of these characters from the genre in a collage would be a fun approach.

I thought that the new Faces of Death film was great. A clever sort of meta remake that makes a statement while still being an entertaining horror thriller. Makes me want to reassess 2018’s Cam, which was worked on by the same writer/director duo.
