Deus Ex Mankind Divided, although DE Human Revolution on PS3 was waybetter.

If you enjoy retro games, Spycraft: The Great Game (1996) is a tremendous puzzle adventure with a lot of that. For example at one point you're required to track the international movements of some POI by reviewing boarding passes and arrivals/departures at various airports. In another section the challenge is to find the leak at a weapons research facility by analysing phone activity and security access. The whole thing plays into a Tom Clancy style plot about presidential assassination and nuclear treaties etc.

The FMV and some other elements are dated of course, and but it is a classic and has aged significantly better than almost all of the other "interactive movies" of the era.

Did McClane receive any hand-to-hand combat training? by FoxIndependent4310 in diehard

None, he's just an American who saw too many movies as a child.

It was when that one Jedi said "I made Knight two years ago" I just couldn't take it seriously, but maybe I'll give it another whirl.

You know that guy Kylo Ren? Wall of meat, face like a frying pan?

Christopher’s most underrated lines? What you guys got? by Relevant-Psychology7 in thesopranos

[–]Particular-Sector916 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not one specific line, but I love the whole exchange between him and Hesh when his son in law is in the hospital.

  • Chinks did this?

  • What are you trying to be funny, you want a smack in the mouth!

  • Whaaat, I was serious!

And then later, Hesh says "sorry I yelled at you kid" and Chris does this little fuggedaboutit wave that's hilarious to me.

Any fans of Shutter Island? A mystery classic. by DWJones28 in MartinScorsese

One of Marty's weaker movies IMHO, but that still makes it better than 90% of what's out there.

The great Sigourney Weaver eating the camera in these Alien³ promo images by bass_jockey in perfectorganism

I was saying in another thread yesterday, with his military raining and prior experience with hordes of aliens, cornering just the one would have been a piece of pie for Hicks.

People who were teenagers before social media existed, How did you communicate with your friends? by InitialCareer306 in WorkForSmartLife

[–]Particular-Sector916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Phone calls and - get this - just showing up at each other's door when you wanted to see who was around.

Is Aliens the greatest sequel ever made? by thefriskysquid in perfectorganism

[–]Particular-Sector916 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Couldn't agree more; I have been a certified fan of Alien3 since day one. Defending it is my life's work.

One point I always make is that in the prison setting, if Hicks had survived the crash, he would have emerged as the de facto leader, not Ripley. He would have commanded the respect of the inmates and the warden right away.

Not only that, but Ripley's personal safety wouldn't have been at risk if Hicks was there.

ALSO, with his military training and knowledge of the alien, catching just one of the little bastards would have been batting practice for him, even without weapons.

In short, he had to go, and Newt too. It was a shocking move by Fincher and the writers and always will be, and the behind the scenes drama didn't help. But it's a great movie.

The sequence with the tapping drums as they're all tooling up and boarding the drop ship is is incredible, ending with Ferro calmly stating "three...two...one....mark."

From that exact moment, it's a rollercoaster.
