It's no secret that copyright is a big topic on these boards, so I thought it'd be fun to make a thread devoted to things that are public domain and are free to use, distribute and basically screw around with.

Post anything and everything that's currently public domain; especially if it's cool or interesting

The catch is you need to make sure that the media you are posting IS public domain. Places like Archive.org normally have the licenses of the media clearly labeled on their page

This is an excellent example

  I'll start things off of "Night of the Living Dead"

The company who distributed this movie accidentally cut out/covered the copyright label before releasing the film, which made the original distribution public domain (this was before the new copyright laws took place).

Hey, just wondering what people feel about the Ico trilogy? (and the new game coming out hopefully soon)

I personally adore the series and consider it one of the games that when i think "Games are so shallow" I can go play and feel good about myself.

One thing i have to say though that a lot of people disagree with, is that i think Shadow Of The Colossus is incredibly inferior to Ico.

When i think of Ico i think of the word "Complete". You never felt like you were in a game in the usual sense. No levels, no chapters, no seams, it one beautifully knitted scarf that has it's different colors but you never see the block ends. Feels like one cohesive experience. The perfect word is that it's a journey. When i said it has it's different colors, what i mean is that it has it's different areas and moods, styles etc. From the front of the castle to the mill, to the waterway etc. A prime example is when you actually end up at the beginning of the game at the end and you are completely blown away at how you found yourself there. It's an actual building that you could most likely make a model of and have most of the places you visit inside working as one. Another example is when you will be going through a long series of rooms etc and find yourself on top of the place you were before.

What can i say about the music? Incredible, i love the more electronic/ambient sounds of this game to the more orchestral sound of SOTC.

The Characters... Wow, I've never felt such protection or bond of one character through such little dialog as i do Yorda. At first you just think "Oh my god, this is just a huge escort mission" but you grow more and more attached to her the more you hold her hand and her through puzzles trying to escape.

Theres the word that separates my love for Ico and SOTC, Ico was more puzzle based and i LOVE puzzle games. Don't get me wrong, taking down one of those mighty behemoths was a puzzle in itself but it wasn't as calm (i know it's not meant to be) but still.

Another complaint about SOTC is that you feel like you are doing levels, defeat the Colossus, move on to the next. Rinse, repeat.

never saw torch wood. from the looks of this I never will, I liked the 9th doctor he had his funny moments, but tennant was pretty good as well . Also I had also heard of another spin off called the Sara Jane Chronicles.

hey. I loved battlestar. But I dosed how that is pretty much the exact opposite of what dr who should be.

Also that version of the doctor sounds absolutely awful. I mean I like tennant, but if u take away that part of his character and it's not doctor who, it's "watch David tennant he funny and sexy"

So the L4D 2 Demo is out and the new game is coming out this November. There is of course (or has been) some outrage about L4D 1 not getting updates (though it is still meant to) amongst L4D2 needing to be a DLC. Being one whom has played the demo, I must say it's all you love in L4D and more. Since I already spent money on it, I'd say it's worth the time.

Anyways, I was curious as to if anyone else has played/wants it otherwise? Cmon guise, chocolate helicopters!

Portal universe is the same as Half-Life actually, I am not sure they would 'connect' every game together. As far as I know, Left4Dead was their crack at the horror-genre.

Though they did do the Bill's Hat promo for TF2.. maybe they will do 'Gordon's Glasses' next.. that'd be cool eh?

I'm not saying that I expect anyone to try this, but I can say it was at least a bit more fun getting to try out the new bosses.

http://www.l4dmods.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=282:play-as-infected-with-the-left-4-dead-2-demo&catid=2:news&Itemid=13

The link above gives you a plugin that, after entering the lines in the console to enable team swapping/spawning, allows you to play as the boss infected. You have all the skills of all the bosses, though I haven't played as the tank in the demo. There is a quick respawn, but most of the areas to climb buildings are invisible to you, so you need to find them by trial and error. Also, as a final note, you CAN play through most of the two levels as infected. The survivors can path by themselves and will complete the levels without humans. However, the final run, where you open the door and run the gauntlet, they will not do. They stand in the trailer and shoot out the windows, so be prepared to restart/camp them to death.

Hope someone find enjoyment,
Cheers.

What I would like to see is a mod that lets you play as TF2 characters in L4D

So, anyone else get this?

I got this for PC, and sorta regretting my choice. The console versions is so much better for online Co-Op, which is the main point of Borderlands.

If you don't have access to your router (College kids mainly), you can't open the right ports to host online games.

Despite having a keyboard, mic is always open, meaning any background noise can be heard.

Those are my only two grips about PC, but the online being horribly bad, makes me sad. (Since most of my friends are in college, thus don't have access to their routers, thus can't host a game).

The last boss is quite the disappointment, but I guess not so much that it wasn't backbreakingly hard, but the drops from it were absolute crap.

However, to counter this, I've heard that the second playthrough is much more fun than the first, and have started playing around to test it. So far, aside from doing everything again, the increase in difficulty (somewhat) is entertaining at least.

Also, I found a nice shotgun with 150 damage, 2 shots per clip, a 2.5x scope, and 50% extra accuracy. Sweet gun.

No Hiro, you must submit yourself to obscure indy technology that is touted as super-duper-awesome and efficient despite having archaic ways of doing things that results in more time and space wasted by the program than by just getting a regular movie file that can play in WMP. Otherwise you're a slave to the man.

Hey hey, I used to say the same thing till i decided to associate every movie file with VLC/WMP Classic. Not really that bad if you don't mind having one more program hog your 'pooter.

Does anyone watch The Clone Wars? And if you do, are you as irked as I am? Because I'm getting a little ticked off by the shitty, shitty plotlines, most notably the Cad Bane arc. What's really pissing me off is that Cad Bane's victories aren't because he's that good, it's because the Jedi are that DUMB. In the Holocron episode, when Obi-Wan and Anakin pass by the Holocron vault that's had the door blown open, they don't even question that it's been blown open, much less why someone might get into the most secure area in the temple. Nooooooo, they think the intruder is still heading to communications, which, btw, was still manned by Masters Yoda and Windu! And it was pretty much a downhill slide from there.

I believe that after today, GeoCities sites will all go down, and the only place they'll be available is on archival sites. I can't be sure, but that's my belief.

All "free" GeoCities websites and the data they contain are being deleted; the Internet Archive had been leading an effort since the closure was announced to archive as many sites as possible. GeoCities Plus sites (which require a paid Yahoo membership) are being migrated to a new plan and will be unaffected. GeoCities e-mail addresses will also remain unaffected for those who use them.

(All this stuff is in their closure FAQ, I was bored the other day)

Comes out today, 11/3.

I'm picking it up for the PC, got the collectors edition too since PC games are usually 10 bucks cheaper.. so I spent the extra 10, as if I was buying a 360 game.

The PC version has been getting WAY better reviews than the 360/PS3 version. Mainly cause it was built like the Baldur's Gate series for the PC, then stripped down to work on the consoles.

You also got the MODS for PC!
Bioware is releasing a modding item for the PC fans, sooooo.. let the sexy armor, naked times, and different races come forth! :P

I hope someone releases a mod soon that makes the blood spattered facial and armor textures look less goofy.
