Sad story.
That’s enough money to have a good life and provide a good life to your loved ones. If he never finds it, he is a crazy man. If he finds it he is a smart man. A normal person can’t earn that much in a lifetime. Even a miniscule chance of finding it could drive someone to obsession.
For the sake of his sanity, and for a good story, I hope he finds it, but I doubt he will.
“unplugged nation” is certainly one way to describe what happened. The monkey very briefly became part of the electricity grid, is another.
It’s just a show. You should really just relax.
And from memory, the number of enemies scales with the number of players. It’s gets pretty hectic pretty fast.
There’s heaps of mods for classic games to turn them into co-op, including Doom (3), half life, quake, aliens vs predator, etc.
I’ve got a couple of 10TB HDDs. Is that enough?
What’s the file size on that?
I doubt car manufacturers offer the ability to jailbreak their car OS to independent repair shops.
You’re looking for a hacker, not a dude who changes oil.
I think Dead Reckoning is a good, and poignant, concept, but I think it suffers from weak writing.
It suffered a bit from the same issue as the video game Uncharted 3, where they wrote the action set pieces first, then wrote the story to fit them together. I’m not sure if that’s what happened in the writing of Dead Reckoning, but that’s how it felt.
Overall I still liked it, and look forward to the next one, but it isn’t as strong as the previous 3 films.
I liked MI2 better than MI:III
it’s been a while since I’ve seen them, so I can’t really remember why.
I doubt there would be any auto shops that can reliably deal with software side elements that aren’t the dealership, and the dealership would refuse.
This is framed like 80 generations is a small number, but that’s huge. Culture and civilization moves so quickly that even 3 generations ago life is barely recognisable. I can’t even imagine what life was like 40 generations ago.
They did exactly that, except they changed the name of the original subscription to “classic” and upgraded everyone to the more expensive plan without asking.
This is actually illegal in some countries, and I hope they get fined for it.
Flashback
I played it on the SNES. It’s a sci-fi platformer that I felt shared themes with movies like Total Recall, They Live, Blade Runner, Running Man.
You start as Conrad, who has crash landed on Titan, being chased by mysterious bad guys, and with no memory of why. All you have is a gun, and a video recording of yourself telling you where to go for the next clue.
They released it in such a state that Sony removed it from their store and offered full refunds.
Well, I’m not sure if it was good, but it committed to turning it up to 11.
Alien^3 insulted the ending of Aliens and felt like it was full of slightly lame choices.
Out of the first 4 movies, 3 was the worst.
There was actually a good Alien novel saga that explored a mysterious reappearance of Ellen Ripley that turned out to be an android recreation of the real Ripley. I can’t remember if it was set before or after Alien Resurrection
But I clapped because I recognised a thing!
I really enjoyed the second and third films, but I understand they didn’t perform as well.
I’ve heard there was scheduling conflicts with Channing Tatum which explains some of the disjointed character arcs. I guess they’d already advertised Tatum before the conflicts, so they tried to keep him in while replacing his characters story beats with Pedro Pascal.
I was really looking forward to a long running franchise that wasn’t afraid to go full tilt James Bond parody with over the top action.
