It would appear Hollywood executives are spending too much free time on Facebook. A film adaptation of the interactive Facebook game Mafia Wars is now in development. To be honest, I’m surprised it beat Farmville to the big screen.

If you have yet to “hide” the Mafia Wars game on your Facebook news feed, this should come as no surprise. The onslaught of ridiculous movie ideas has hit rock bottom at least 10 times in the last year alone, but this is another new low.

Of course, there is a built in fan base of 25.9 million Mafia Wars subscribers. An optimistic executive likely pitched the idea along with a “guaranteed” $259 million box office. But this is how the film industry thinks in 2010. It’s all about the money in this new age of cinema.

Pajiba reported the news with a certain level of disappointment that we share. The studio in charge of the project should be enough proof that this could be an epic failure: Radar Pictures, the same studio behind Swing Vote, The Invention of Lying, All About Steve, Everybody’s Fine, and The Box. Writers are currently being sought for the project.

More about it here.

Oh good gravy.
This is very, very bad.

Maybe the servers disconnect during the film, ending the film early due to the writers being lazy D:

Craig: We need to 'hit' someone, wanna' come with?
Don: No can do; and you can't, too.
Craig: Why not?
Don: We need 2 motorcycles, 3 machine guns and a puppy.
Craig: Damn, I better ask the godfather to send me some stamina while I ask around for some of those items we need.
Don: You go do that, here, an energy pack for you.
Craig: Thanks, man. But seriously a puppy?

Don: Damn straight.

How would this work? Mafia Wars has no plot.

This is where you are wrong people, mafia wars has a minor plot that you can read about as you finish the mission tiers if you don't just click the text boxes away:eek:

I think that SineCosines Idea would make a better movie:thup:

This is just a rumor, it seems.

Radar Pictures is denying it thus far, and it's not official on IMDB.

Don't freak out too early, guys.

well seeing how there is already a halo movie coming out, its not too surprising, and they haven't revealed much, meaning they can still cancel it relatively easily if that movie doesn't sell well

RGSIJOGRIJOGRGRJ MOVIE NOOBS!

The Halo movie was canceled long ago, but its resources was used to create District 9 (ever notice how the aliens in that movie look like the flying bug aliens in Halo?).

READ MY POSTS. This movie will NOT happen. It's a big ugly rumor.

:O. Thats a good point. But books explain where you are, it details the world that the author had imagined. Mafia wars doesnt do that

  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
