But you know how I like to make you suffer for wholesome scenes the Pizza scene was one of my favorites.
It was fun, but yeah, it's some work.

I had something else planned (Alex being Alex), but gave up on that after 2 days working without anything close to good.
But I still have that idea and it would be funny, so... we'll see ;)

You can never have too many wholesome, sweet scenes, preferably without chopped off heads.
Pizza, cuddling infront of the TV, playing with the pets, head scritches, allowing your kid to paint your nails pink, teasing Alex....

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say MC - who is wealthy and builds free operating systems in his spare time is the one with the most unplayed games on Steam.
There's no way in hell if I worked on something as complex as Windows, Mac, or Linux that I'd be a gamer.

Steve Jobs wasn't a gamer and there's even that story about how he tricked Steve Wozniak into helping develop Breakout when they all worked for Atari.

Bill Gates likes games but isn't hardcore about it per multiple interviews, he enjoys stuff like Tetris.

Linus Torvalds isn't much of a gamer either.

To bring this back on topic (sorry mods)...I imagine Alex would own all the Call of Duty games. I wonder if we could get a gaming night scene. :unsure:

was it the whole Alex tossing the dough / pizza and it landing in Isa's face or something like that you told me once. Or something you haven't told me about

I thought about that, but it would be more fun as a player vs. player.

a. I'm not rendering any possible playing a shooter scene, so there's the question if I can use screenshots or a few seconds gameplay video from a real game.
I doubt it.
b. Where do we get 3 (at least ) gaming PCs and more important where to put them.
Well, could always be a shop.

Exactly that, Alex "give me the dough, I want to try that!"

Using screenshots from real games would probably have Steam blowing a gasket.
Basement?

Yeah not sure how that would work . Years ago I heard something about Free use for up to 15 seconds. Don't know how true any of that is or if it even applies to screenshots. Especially when you sell it on steam. If you weren't selling it on Steam id think you be okay. Ive seen games with images hell even seen a game that has Sex scenes that made from Cyberpunk and Witcher

Yeah, that's no fair use or commentary, so it is a copyright problem.
And I'm not animating a few 5 second FPS scenes for an animation on a screen :rolleyes:

Maybe, but since leaving the company he's had nothing but time and money so even if he just considered being a gamer for a weekend he would have spent a lot.

But do we really need to see the screens or the game. Viewing the players and reading their comments (taunts, jokes, Argh!, etc) could be just as effective. Let the players, us that is, fill in the blanks.

If you really want the gaming scene, there are a few AVNs that have combat scenes and the Devs probably wouldn't mind. I'm not sure the scene would add much, or tell us anything about the characters that we don't already know but if you want it, it can probably be done.

Might not be a bad idea.

If you want a gaming scene you don't even need to show footage, just slap some controllers in hands, or show someone at the pc. The scene will be about the bonding more than whatever the game is anyway. Also have Isa be some kind of prodigy. :ROFLMAO:

Haha, I had the same idea about Isa. Stone cold, methodical, accurate sniper while Alex keep getting killed because she has no patience and her plans aren't the best

I imagine Isa being on of those camper play styles and getting bored while waiting for some to kill she starts to paint her nails and gets killed in the process. Then Alex ends up getting mad and carrying the team lol
