Lady Dimitrescu

After some delays, I'm finally playing Control on PC. I did start it on PS5 a while back, but I got sidetracked with other stuff. The first thing that stands out to me in Control is it feels almost like a third-person version of Half-Life with that similar sterile-industrial architecture, but this time less science-fictiony, and more surrealist horror. Especially with those Hiss voices chanting and muttering a load of unintelligible meandering. But what's really frustrating is how damn hard this game is. The combat is friggin brutal, where enemies take about five or six hits until they're beaten, but poor Jesse only needs to take two hits before she's dead. Unfair! So to ameliorate that, Remedy introduced an "invincibility" mode within its main menu options - an admission from the developers that their game was too damn hard if there ever was one. I'll replay Alan Wake II on PC as soon as I'm done with this. I just finished playing the first game and Alan Wake's American Nightmare. Those were fun, and the latter had some real babes in it, including that sexy astronomer sheila with the pommie accent. Shame we never got to see her again.

I liked Mission Impossible 8 the most. And Eddington is the best movie of the year.

The Last Run

I liked the chrome sheila.

I cracked the cartilage in my knee back in 2019, so I know how fucked up knees feel.

For the last time...

Nah I just put it in flack files so they look cool in Winamp.

Is that Dek's dad posting that?

And the giant dick monster in Beau is Afraid.

So we can talk about the reasons behind the Rum Rebellion in early 19th century Australia in the booze thread??

Not another lecture, Obi-Wan. At least not about the economics of politics.
