I was looking forward to watching this tonight, but it seems I am not able to.
I tried Amazon, but they refused my credit card as my address is outside the US.
I tried signing up for Vudu, but that's only for US citizens.
I don't have a Playstation, but I have an Xbox 360 which is offline.
I don't have Steam and I don't want to install Itunes, so that leaves me with Google Play. But there I only see an Add To Wishlist option.  ???

May I just PayPal gift 10 dollars to someone and you provide me with a download link?  :oops:

I just found out that I don't need an Xbox for the Xbox video option, but it refuses to accept a credit card outside the US. And my PayPal account.
Has anyone in Europe been able to purchase this? I can't believe that it must be so difficult to buy a movie. :evil: :evil:

Can you sell it on Vimeo? I purchased a movie there last week, and I had no problems at all.

It looks like they added a new option for purchasing the movie: VHX (https://manvssnakethelongandtwistedtaleofnibbler.vhx.tv/)

And it works!  :spaceace:

nice, so its better than the video craze (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2312464/), that was... well, not so good.

Post by: slowcade on June 25, 2016, 06:22:57 PM
Haha, you can't compare it to that. :lol: Wasn't that the one we watched in Eurocade? I'd rather compare it to King of Kong, if anything. I laughed and I cried. It's very good.

Hmm, I watched King of Kong ( was it that movie with Billy Mitchell (( which I dont like anymore ))   ) ?
Maybe ill purchase it and support more movies like that.
The trailer looks nice so far.

BM is not such an asshole in real life, KOK needed a villain, and he fitted the bill from the creators...., much about KOK was setup...

It was, and i still regret it that we screened that one..

But we did not know how it was, otherwise it would not have been screened there i think.

Does the VHX thing let you download it completely, or only streaming like steam ?

Ok after I spent 10 hours working for my small game room, I decided to buy that movie on steam.

It is really a great documentation if you are into arcade games and there was never the point watching the time.
10|10 points from my side!

Yes, it lets you download it completely, in HD. And also the bonus material, which is almost equally interesting.

One of the few things I regret about co-organizing RGE.....the trailer was promising enough....

I haven't watched this one yet. Is it really THAT BAD? haven't heard a single good thing about it ...
What makes it that bad?

Maybe my expectations were too high, but I don't think so. It felt like a collection of random YouTube videos which were put together. They aren't put in any logical order, and there is no story or progress in the movie. It also didn't tell me anything new that I hadn't heard about before. I have forgotten most of it, but at least that is the impression that I had back then.

OMG......did you _REALLY_ have to dig that up ? .....my mind clearly had erased those parts of the "movie" to protect myself.....

The first time that came up I almost froze in my chair.....thought...this can't be real......I felt SO embarrassed to all the other people there.....

The whole thing is that people who can buy an HD camera think they are suddenly a director/movie maker....just like the tens of thousands of people who buy a DSLR camera and suddenly think they are a photographer.....

That camera thing is so true and annoying indeed

I like to go to the zoo in Rotterdam but there are only people with these enormous cameras there nowadays

GTFO

The DVD or Blu-ray will be available soon. I had the access to the digital version last week end because I'm a backer  :)

OK, I have to admit that there were two parts in the movie, that I really liked:

* guess what....the Journey episode with former (and again) Journey drummer Steve Smith
* the lady saying that removing all the scratches, bumbs and writings on the cab removes their history

Tha PacMan cutscenes were....well......don't fell too bad, André...it has not been THAT bad :)

Is your memory that good, or did you watch it recently?  :o  ;D

I only saw it once at Eurocade (complete, I saw the part with the Journey cab again a few months ago) but I really liked those parts so I'm remembering them ;)

That was the only part of the movie worth watching IYAM.

I am now halfway into Man vs Snake, and its indeed not comparable with that turt.

I rented the movie a little bit to late last night, watched the whole thing and all extras and went to bed 4 hours before work  :lol:

Google play, psn, amazon... nothing worked so I tried VHX, work perfectly...

The movie was awesome, I enjoyed it big time and got an urge to play nibbler, but ofc I dont have it  :-[

for those that didn't see it yet, like me, I just noticed that it is also available on Netflix.
