Just seen: Toy Story and Toy Story 2 / epsxe rant
In short both Toy Story and Toy Story 2 are worth seeing. Especially as a Debian fanboy. Isabel and I had some great fun watching it in English. To infinity and beyond...!
I expected the second part to fail, but it kept the fun up, although I still don't know what crack the Pixar people smoked when creating the screenplay.
Some memorable quotes:
Woody to Buzz: That wasn't flying! That was... falling with style!
Woody: Buzz, could you give me a hand here? [Buzz throws his broken arm at Woody]
Sid (the boy who destroys toys): I want to ride the pony.
Alien #1: A stranger. Alien #2: From the outside. All: Oooooooooooooooh.
Now of course that's all of Part One and out of context, but well, here you are.
In other "news" I like how portable some applications are. I was able to get Final Fantasy VII running on Isabel's Windows Tablet PC just like on my Linux notebook, with the same emulator (epsxe), the same memory cards and even the quick saves were working as expected. Wow.
A pity that its authors won't release the source code albeit the source of the plugins needed anyway actually is public. It's using some kind of Gtk 1.x linked in statically, so it's horrible usability wise. With source code that could have been improved.
