Is the Borderlands movie tanking at the box office more suited news here or in the movie section? Also, hi, how is everyone?
Either forum is fine by me. This
honestly isn't news and everybody saw it coming. I'm doing okay, but I didn't have the best week last week.
What happened? Wanna talk about it? My own weekend got messed up a little because of squirrels or something getting into the vents of my house and waking me up in the middle of the night with woodpecker like clanging that continued well into noon.
Anyway, to no one's surprise, the Borderlands movie flops.

I do think people are surprised that despite low expectations, it still managed to fall below them.
‘Borderlands’ Bombs With $8.8 Million Weekend, A Fourth Place Debut
The Borderlands movie tried to split the difference between a PG-13 rating and original story appealing to a more general audience. But they were not interested

Car accident. A car behind me went too fast in the rain and his brakes were shit. Got rear ended and side swipped. Neither of us got injured at all. My car is counted as wrecked, so I have to get a new one. I'm just waiting on my insurance company. I have a rental for now.

Sorry to hear that but glad you at least didn't get hurt. In those circumstances it could have easily been way worse.
Outside of the dedicated fanbase, I think most people that even saw the trailer were like, “WTF is this and why are famous names even attached to it?”Anyway, to no one's surprise, the Borderlands movie flops.

This is why it is silent at the end...
At the end of the video I created a montage as you see and used the theme from Metal Gear Solid 2.
YouTube said I would be okay to use this song but revenue would be shared with the owners of it which I was more than happy to sacrifice for the video. They did not tell me this sometimes means the owners take all of it, so I was left in a pretty unfortunate situation. Do I keep the song in or do I take it out, I settled on taking it out because at the end of the day I do have to make a living but I am extremely furious and upset about this as YouTube themselves told me everything was okay and it would still be monitored, I feel they should have been more specific when it came to that regard.
I am extremely sorry if this effects your viewing experience luckily I had said everything important to the video by this point but heres what the final words were which I had to mute also.
"A story about one mans quest for something that by the end just doesn't seem worth it after all the sacrifice. An idea that sometimes selling the world just isn't worth it."
I decided to just mute the audio rather than cut it so if you really want to you can sync the song with the footage but I don't expect you to do that.
Once again I am extremely sorry that this had to happen but I hope you still enjoyed the video and now I know what to do if this situation ever happens again.

Yeah, this thing looks weird. Frank West really got Streisand effected; He's known as kind of an ugly guy, but he was never that ugly, just ugly by Japanese game standards. Now, he needs to look like the fugliest dude everytime. Instead of looking like a knucklehead in his late 20's, he now has to look like your alcoholic uncle in his late 40's.
And I already commented on Sphere's video, but why is current hair tech in games so flacid and wasted-out looking?
Depends on where your look or who's doing it. The Resident Evil, DMC 5, SF6, and Monster Hunter seem to have little issues with hair on the RE engine.

It just occurred to be that Skybilivion is a volunteer-based project, similiar to Days Before.
The difference is that these guys treat the volunteers better, and openly shares the WIP both with them and to the public.
Also I am betting whether this gets released first or ES6
That's a sucker's bet. If ES6 is anything more than a handful of models and a logo right now I'll be shocked. The entire company is likely dedicated to trying to pull Starfield out of the swamp.
