The original film is an absolute classic, one of Arnies best. I picked up the remake on Blu-ray in a charity shop for a couple of quid because it was a nice steel book. I hadn’t seen it in years, it’s a just a mediocre sci-fi adventure.

I remember back in the day, the film caused a bit of controversy in the news for being so violent. It was being compared to Die Hard 2 and which film had the most on screen deaths.

I remember reading an interview with Verhoeven at the time. He says that Arnie dies in the chair at Rekall at the end, it’s all in his head. That’s why the film fades to white at the end.

I used to use this app a lot but I found it started to work less and less. If you follow the right links, there is talk of a new version 3 of the app but I don’t know if that’s still being worked on.

I find that redlib is more reliable for Reddit browsing. It does stop working occasionally but only for a few hours usually.

I think I had to Google that one back in the day. The simple one that got me was when the commander guy says the codec for contacting that certain character is on the back of the case.

What case? I can’t see a case? I’m not carrying a case? God knows how long it was before I found out they meant on the back of the actual PS1 box the game comes in. I can’t remember if they ported that over to the GameCube version.

It’s there a GameCube in there somewhere? That would be pointless surely because of the Wii? In fact, why not included the WiiU instead? Three consoles in one! 😂

This is a fantastic film and even my wife who was not a Cruise fan really enjoyed it too. It looks like we’re getting very close to a sequel as well.

In terms of modern games, both of the Last of Us games and Alien: Isolation. I’m sure there’s loads of old games but my memory is awful.

Your comment has reminded me of Eternal Darkness on the GameCube. That did various things like lower the volume with a fake on screen TV display. That didn’t work for me because it was different to my own on screen TV graphics.

But when they faked that my memory card was corrupt and the save was gone, that one got me. 😂

I can help out by buying a decently feature laden packed 4K disc. 😁

I recently found this in a charity shop for £2, snapped it up straight way. Although I haven’t got around to watching it yet.

I had no idea about this, thank you.

That reminds me of that old first person shooter, The Operative: No One Lives Forever.

This is a game that had a following and people have asked for a remaster or even just a GOG release.

The problem is, no one actually knows who owns it today. It’s a bit of a legal mess.

See if you can get a feed that’s just the news section. Worth a try.

I follow a similar site, City On Fire, that has news of martial arts films. They only post once every so often, but occasionally one of them might be about gambling.

Nice review. I nearly pre-ordered the Arrow Video copy and then I realised I’ve never owned this film and I saw it in the cinema. If I didn’t buy it on DVD or Blu-ray since, I can’t of liked it that much. 😆

There’s something tricky about converting pdf to epub that I can never get to work properly. Maybe it’s too do with the way the pdf is put together?

I could highlight the text of the pdf and paste it into a document but it would come out different in places. I tried this experiment because the calibre conversion was doing the same thing.

I tried many online converters but none of them could do it either. In the end, I read the converted epub and just had to mentally correct the words that didn’t properly convert.

I know everyone is focused on Leto but bloody hell, the film news sites all seem to be jumping on the lets bash Tron bandwagon in the last few days.

I don’t remember Blue Burst but I remember setting up my Dreamcast to dial in to my ISP at the time, Demon Internet. Then loading up Phantasy Star Online. Probably the only MMO I really got into. I even purchased the official Dreamcast keyboard to use with it.

With everyone shitting on it, as a Tron fan, my expectations became quite low. But I was pleasantly surprised, it was a good, entertaining movie. I just thought the plot was a bit weak. Definitely picking up the 4K disc when it turns up.

EDIT: If you are interested, I just uploaded my long waffling review.

Released in 2012, the dropped the Armour of God heading and it’s just cause Chinese Zodiac
