The movie isn't even made, and most likely I won't even see it because I gave up on both Alien and Terminator a long time ago & haven't seen several of the most recent entries, but a large outcry just because the director said he's gonna show corporate execs is fucking stupid.

I feel like anyone going into a Hollywood action film expecting a deep political discussion going to be disappointed, even if the film in question is, let's say, RoboCop. Nobody argues that the message in Alien(s) is deep and nuanced because it is, in fact, the contrary.

I wasn't talking about an IBM PC, but just a personal computer. In the UK a ZX Spectrum was affordable at roughly 100+ pounds, as well as an Amiga/Atari ST for richer folks. So while computers were a luxury everywhere, a monthly salary wasn't equal to <$10 in a lot of places.

I wasn't particularly crazy about it. I guess in the end I enjoyed it as much as I did H2O. Both have some real cool stuff as well as plenty of meh moments. Halloween is a franchise that consists mainly of shit films, so anything above mediocre is a win by default.

Yes, that's why I said *I'd* watch 10 reviews of X-Wing, and not you. Imo stuff like that generates additional interest in the topic. Since my whole thing is about facilitating more discussions of DOS games, I welcome it. Compare with the amount of reviews for console titles.

Wow. That was *almost* a normal game level. AND it featured first very deliberate map design decision in the entire game so far - they very specifically made you repeat a section of the level THREE times to progress to the exit. So yeah, bravo and go fuck yourselves!

So now that I finished Capstone's Zorro I might rethink the whole "worse than TekWar" thing. Sure, it's a barely controllable barely game with levels designed by a random number generator and someone's 5 year old nephew, BUT if u commit to its awfulness you can finish it in 2 hrs

Mon Jul 19 01:55:26 +0000 2021Replying to @dosnostalgic
So yeah, it took me 25 years, but I did it. I first encountered this game on a pirate CD compilation, and instantly realized how terrible it was. I only knew it was possible to play after finally finishing two levels a couple of years ago.
Mon Jul 19 01:57:32 +0000 2021Replying to @dosnostalgic
I'd like to say that the first level is definitely the WORST in the entire game. But it certainly prepares you well for what's to come.
Mon Jul 19 01:58:31 +0000 2021Replying to @dosnostalgic
As usual Capstone's credits are full of obvious lies. Nobody *coordinated* any of these maps. It definitely didn't take more than one 5 year old making them. And there was certainly no QA department either.

As someone who had seen a bunch of homeless shelters, group homes, and such first hand in suburban America I can attest that those places are anything, but "homes". They are hellholes of concentrated depression. And that's why they don't work.

True Romance feels like exactly the kind of film I would outgrow at some point, but I haven't. Yes, it's pure power fantasy - wish fulfillment bullshit, but something about its style comes across as incredibly honest and super positive, which just makes me love it.
