It came out great, well done sir! The party scene was particularly riveting

And no major plot holes, which is more than can be said about BJ2

Well done though, another fine addition to the Melt the Combine Harverster series.

Most amusing video, thanks!
And nice to put a face to a (nick) name, bici!

Hello.

I am back in England now with Magintz, after an extra week spent between Florence and Venice. Italy has been one of my favourite places to visit so far!

Thanks to Matt for traveling and socialising with me, CJ for the occasional driving, new Mitteneers Cat, Jen, Kim, and Francesco (who I echo as an excellent host in Milan and a great guy in general!) for coming along, great meeting you all

Big big thanks to Snarky for organising this year's meet.

Highlights for me were the adventure getting from Arezzo and to the villa, having more involvement in the BJ movie, the views to and from Lucignano, Cortona, gelato, being held hostage by rain and watching Italian dubbed Futurama in Siena, and of course Blue Jesus :o

Also fun but not exactly Mitteney was hanging out with Cat the day after in Florence

I have probably a hundred relevant photos, but will likely not have them up for a while yet as I won't be back home home for another 10 days yet.

Chrille · Sat 14/08/2010 11:02:36

That's fantastic, Francisco. Good job, everyone involved!

Creed Malay · Sat 14/08/2010 12:08:48

Oh man, Cisco, that is just awesome. It all came out wonderfully, I just wish we'd got some footage of the cat-prison. Thanks for letting me star!

Behind the scenes bonus factoid - after we'd filmed the scenes in the sunflower field, Cisco and me suddenly realised that each and every one of those flowers were *crawling* with bees. We exited the field very gingerly. So, that's my thoery to where all the bees are going. Italy.

DeviantGent · Sat 14/08/2010 14:05:50

A most funksome film. For some reason, I kept wanting to reach into the screen and stroke Creed's beard. Take from that what you will.

SeventhBard · Sat 14/08/2010 15:11:49

Here there be pictures-- of Mittens!

Yeah okay so I'm too lazy to do more than link to my photostream but c'mon, all the Italy stuff is in front.

Good times, good times.

Officially DL'd the program now so I can work on the forthcoming game (and thanks to everyone who encouraged me to try it).

Awesome episode of Melt the Limit!
Great work Grundislav

Although it's hard to beat the profound Bergmanesque existentialism of "Proper things"...

Shane 'ProgZmax' Stevens · Sun 15/08/2010 10:58:38

Another Magical Melt the Limit!

Pumaman · Sun 15/08/2010 14:38:22

A feast for the eyes, indeed!

Seems like this film's going to create quite a buzz.

Yesterday we had some pasta and the Chianti from Mittens. The wine was great, but we could not find the website where you should enter the code from the bottle. Perhaps there is no website and Andrea was also only "pretending to know it"?

bicilotti · Wed 18/08/2010 12:30:37

Or else!

Does that work (this site seems only to cover chianti classico)?

cat · Wed 18/08/2010 12:37:50

Mille grazie!

bicilotti · Wed 18/08/2010 12:46:19

Prego!

Take a screengrab of the result of the query! I'm curious

You people are so lucky thatyou drink wine, my mum tasted the red liquid the other day and she told me it was great, and it wasn't even the â,¬23 bottle, only the "cheaper" 13 euro one. If only I'd like the taste of wine I would have enjoyed that myself!

m0ds · Sat 21/08/2010 02:30:04

One rough edit later and I tell you - the "Mr Jordan" drinking game is bloody brilliant! For those eager for a taster of, as Francesco would say - Ben Yordan, here aers 2 sneaky snippets

Minimal spoilers too! Plenty of continuity errors though..

Nice place, Mr Hollywood

Leave? You can't leave!

peace

Oh, and a special Gunnar soundbite for your ring tone

OMG!!! m0ds, when that movie is out I'll watch it 5-6 times at least!!

Snarky · Sat 21/08/2010 21:38:09

I've received an email asking me to fill out a survey about our stay at the villa. In this survey, I'm supposed to rate from 0 (worst) to 100 (best):

Value
Location
Cleanness
Service
Comfort

There might also be a field for other comments.

Anyone have any input?

I'd personally give 'em good m~~0ds~~arks. I would tell them that it would be nicer if the trash were taken care of by the maid.

Pffff, 100s all round.
