I saw a clip of this being passed around on Twitter and someone kindly shared me the whole video. It's a McDonald's training film from the sixties I believe and it's pretty good actually. It's funny! One particular part is... It's so weird, though, with the teen doing the old WC Fields bit to a kid after spotting Colonel Sanders(!?) in the corner. I was so tired last night and the clip on Twitter had desynced the audio, and it made the whole clip just so dreamlike and strange.
What I found interesting was how many people commented that it's SCARY. They're seeing something I'm super not. I don't understand!
This is one of those rare movie tie in games that's not just good but actually ranks up there as a great game. Released in 2004 to near universal acclaim the game was made by Starbreeze a Swedish outfit made up of ex demo scene people (all Swedish game devs are ex Demo scene people lol). The engine is an in-house engine back when studios didn't just make yet another bland looking Unreal Engine game. For performance reason the game actually uses really low-resolution textures then hides it with normal maps. I played this on the OG Xbox upon release and I remember there where a few bugs where in certain situations you could see the game with no normal maps, and it looked like Quake in software mode.
