Well - the Wing Commander movie also exists. Although they have some modifications I don't like in it compared to the game

The talk is fine. I am worried that those two would show us one of their home flicks.

What about movies made using games technology?
Called
Machinima (Machine Animation), people use existing game engines, build sets, props, actors etc using appropriate editors and film a story from it.

I wonder if it wouldn't be more appropriate to call it computer technology, since its been a part of animation software techniques used in the commercial media long before processing speed on computers permitted its use in games.

I'd suggest it's the other way around. Most of the computerized effects in films were used there long before they showed up in games. So if anything, it's a case of games adapting the animation and special effects technology of films. Check out the films and especially the television commercials of the early 1990s. (Many of those commercials are archived at the Hammerstein Museum in NYC.) You'll see a lot more sophisticated computer stuff than ever on a PC until recently.

I do try to keep my gaming and porn separate, but when an alu-demon apparates on the prime material plane and is face to face with you, what's a guy to do except add a heavy bass line and lose the clothes.
As far as gaming films, they made Kull the Conqueror, loosely based on a fantasy/D&D realm. Since it is close to perfection, any gaming films in the future would be pale in comparison.
Just my two cents, pick 'em up and put 'em in your pocket; it isn't often such words of wisdom are tangible. Ummmmm....gotta go.
