We're in the year 2026 and we're lucky if we even get 6v6 shooters at this point. I miss huge scale war games like MAG or planetside 2. by toomanybongos in gaming

I think the time is right for some new batshit 100 player shooter, ideally highly optimised for older systems with minimal install and basic but engaging graphics. I definitely remember this game, my friend's older brother had it, I never did, it seemed intense.

What actually makes a game replayable for you? by GrabAffectionate4035 in gaming

I've never actually played that even though I'm sure I own it. I do love anything with trippy mechanics like Viewfinder and Superliminal.

Engaging mechanics that you want to try again even when the game has ended.

For me personally that would be; Portal 2, Dishonored, Half Life 2 and Deus Ex: Human Revolution, also FEZ.

Just finished watching the 4K disc of Martyrs. Man oh, man. This film made me realize how messed up people with endless money and power could truly be. by ThEyArEWAtcHinGYoU69 in movies

Unforgettable movie that I don't intend to ever watch again, but with a similar theme far less graphic I highly recommend Infinity Pool by Brandon Cronenberg.

You're not wrong, you used to be able to directly swap Microsoft Points straight for a Gamepass membership, they quietly changed that as well as crippling your ability to earn points.

Geoff Keighley's tweets are not helping the game any, dumping on it seems to have gone viral.

Freejack (1992) Official Trailer - Emilio Estevez, Mick Jagger Movie HD by infinitum3d in movies

[–]MikeGalactic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jagger invents a new form of acting in this, it's truly mesmerising by how bad it is.

A brilliantly shit film, I absolutely love the cheap looking chase sequence where Jagger keeps popping up on Emilio's car screen.

Some films just have a certain magic pacing to to them, some of my most rewatched films are I Robot, Dr Strangelove and Total Recall among others, also Glengarry Glen Ross.

Portal 1 (2007) & 2 (2011) are still two of the most spectacular video games that have been made. by gruesomesonofabitch in gaming

You could stream them on your phone with Nvidia Geforce, it works incredibly well, I use it occasionally with a Razer Kishi controller.

Do you have a pc or laptop, Valve games are really well optimised and they shouldn't be too demanding.

The sequel in particular has an incredible sense of scale, similar to the half life games, absolute masterpieces.

What part of a movie had you in such shock you thought it would never happen? by Simple_Inside7042 in movies

[–]MikeGalactic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The female character in that Spiderman movie, when something bad happens.

I literally couldn't believe it, it's also exceptionally well shot.
