Every time I see a screenshot of a 90s 3D mapping tool, I'm always horrified by their UI. People were constantly breaking new ground, but they certainly didn't make it easy for themselves.
There's going to be a bunch of cool or unique images in here that we don't know the significance of. We're excited to see what you find!

My theory: these people have driven themselves so mad that they are now so terrified of ethnic diversity that when he passes Brasserie Zedel and some tourists and two black people come out, what he sees are machete-wielding militiamen.

i really like animated shows where henchmen start blasting with no warning and try to kill protagonists. it feels more realistic than "hands up!"

I think the Rankin/Bass version of The Hobbit is likely going to be the best adaptation of Tolkien's novel that we're ever going to get. Its art design runs the gamut from rustic to creepy to lovely, and its assortment of songs lend it a fairy tale quality that really fits the story.
