Planet of the Apes, Linkin Park MP3s and other stuff

Sunday · 16 Mar 03 · 06:04 PM IST | Posted by Karthik | Category: Movies

On Friday night, I watched Tim Burton's 2001 version of Planet of the Apes on STAR Movies.  This movie was no doubt well made, the only problem was that I thought it was a bit draggy in the beginning.  Several changes have been made from the older 1968 movie version, and these changes made the story more complicated, I thought.  Anyway I did like the references to the older movie ("Damn them!  Damn them all to hell!" said by Charlton Heston), and the whole look of the actual ape planet.  The make-up effects were brilliant, which goes without saying...

On Friday, I also downloaded several MP3s from this page.  All of these are different versions (non-album) of Linkin Park songs, and the most interesting part to me was the set of demo songs.  It is like seeing an early screenshot of an "under construction" area in a Doom level, as compared to the final area!  These MP3s are of quite good quality too.

Other than these things I am of course attending my Group Discussion Practice classes at TIME regularly.  For some interesting statistics, I have participated in eleven GDs, and watched twenty more, till date!  On 18th, I am attending a mock interview over there.  The rest of my time has been completely occupied with Doom mapping, as I am currently working on more than one map...

Dark Fate 2 is a singleplayer level for Doom II, replacing MAP01.  It's a small-sized hellish level — and there's a walkthrough video as well.
