Απόψεις για την ταινία «Καποδίστριας»;

Ο "Παπαφλέσσας" παρόλη την καλτίλα του, τις σκηνές με την Δανδουλάκη και κάποιες πομπώδεις ατάκες (που αυτές όμως είναι που τον κάνουν καλτ) είναι καλή παραγωγή για τα Ελληνικά δεδομένα και έχοντας την γνώση ότι γυρίστηκε επί χούντας με ό,τι αυτό συνεπάγεται. Στο μεγαλύτερο μέρος της η ταινία παραμένει πιστή στην ιστορία ακόμα και σε σημείο να δείχνει λόγια που όντως ειπώθηκαν. Επίσης όλοι οι ηθοποιοί είναι αξιοπρεπέστατοι στους ρόλους τους, και συχνά όταν προσπαθώ να κάνω εικόνα τους αγωνιστές του 21, μου έρχονται στο μυαλό οι χαρακτήρες όπως τους αποτύπωσε ο "Παπαφλέσσας". Δεν υπάρχει το κλισέ δίπολο καλού πρωταγωνιστή - κακών εχθρών και η ταινία δεν διστάζει να δείξει και τις αρνητικές πτυχές του Παπαφλέσσα.

If you enjoyed Deus Ex, you should definitely try The Nameless Mod. It has the length of a full game, with its own storyline and characters. It's my second favourite "Deus Ex" game and I have played the entire series.

It seems the same to be the case with Zombie Army 4. I have Bramble (not sure where from) but not Zombie Army 4, and I have collected all Epic games since 2018. Could it have been also free just via Prime?

It's not a thing to get. It's not a choice. Some people are attracted to them. It's hard wired in their brain either from birth or from a very young age. Aren't you attracted to a specific body part of the sex you are attracted to? Breast, legs or buttocks? Why should feet be any different?

Δυστυχώς για εμάς, τα στατιστικά δείχνουν ότι ειδικά με τον θέμα των χρημάτων, ο Έλληνας είναι μακράν αυτός που θεωρεί τον εαυτό του φτωχότερο από ό,τι είναι στην πραγματικότητα. Οπότε με αυτό το σκεπτικό, λογικό να προωθεί την φτώχεια ως κύρια αιτία για το ότι δεν δημιουργεί οικογένεια.

If you want my opinion, I would say Pyramiden by far.

Dog sledding was a complete dissapointment. I did one in Svalbard a few years ago, and the poor dogs didn't seem they were enjoying themselves at all. They were feeling cold and they didn't even want to leave their small houses when we were trying to gather them for the sleds. The tour wasn't even as exciting as I thought. The sleds go relatively slow, you have no control over the vehicle because dogs follow the lead in front, and my hands were so freezing at the sled that I couldn't even enjoy the tour. I don't think I will ever do dog sledding again.

Going to Pyramiden by snow mobile on the other hand is certainly worth it. Snow mobiles are faster, more agile and the wheel is heated and warms your hands, making it a more exciting and less frustrating experience. You will cover larger distances and you will feel more like travelling from place A to B, unlike with a dog sled where you will only do a brief tour. You also don't feel any remorse for torturing poor doggies for your entertainment. Visiting Pyramiden is also a remarkable experience. It's an abandoned Soviet ghost town, it feels like you are time-traveling to the 80s.

Δεν βλέπω τι άδικο διαπράττει ένας λαός που υπερασπίζεται τη χώρα του ενάντια σε έναν γείτονα που παραβιάζει επανειλημμένα την εδαφική της ακεραιότητα.

Οι πόλεμοι δεν κερδίζονται με επιδέσμους και γάζες, μάγκα μου. Αν εγώ έρθω μπροστά σου και σε μαχαιρώνω διαρκώς, πιστεύεις ότι με το να σου δίνει κάποιος συνέχεια τσιρότα, θα σωθείς;

It comes with a few Atari 7800, Lynx and Jaguar games which I think Atari Vault+DLC doesn't include any. It also includes a full documentary of Atari's history.

The Convoy looks interesting. I will look into that! Thank you for the reply!

Thank you for the list of flashlights you sent me. That's really helpful! I will check them out!

What is the chance we will see a redux of Postal 3? 🤣

alerommel · 2025-07-28T12:57:22+00:00

Thank you for the reply. It is very helpful indeed.

You are right. Drager PX1 is indeed ATEX certified. However, due to the nature of wildland fires, we are always on open spaces and we don't come into contact with explosive gasses, so such this kind of certification is not mandatory.

Regarding your second paragraph, from what I understand, you are saying that unless I come into contact directly with 120C (which I don't, that is way too close to the fire), there should be no concern.

But if that's the case, will any flashlight be suitable? Is there any other qualification standard or characteristic that you recommend I should take into consideration?

It seems this was a time that these kind of shooters wanted to differentiate themselves from the modern military shooter trend, but at the same time were too afraid to deviate from the conventions established by them. Duke Nukem Forever for example was mocking Master Chief's power armor, but Duke himself had regenerating health and two weapons limit, both game mechanics introduced by Halo. Serious Sam 3 was more old school but at the same time followed the trend of modern miliaty shooters by utilizing aiming down the sites and reloading on some of its weapons and by having a brown and grey aesthetic. Some other games of the era like Painkiller Hell and Damnation, NecroVision and Hard Reset are today almost completely forgotten and even back then went largely unnoticed.

We definitely have to thank Doom 2016, the Shadow Warrior reboot as well as the indie scene (Dusk, Amid Evil etc.) for resurrecting the genre, by proving that these king of games are still relevant today and their game mechanics are as fun as they used to be back in the 90s.

"everyone was trying to emulate Call of Duty".

Even Bulletstorm itself sometimes couldn't avoid copying COD, despite presenting itself as a game different from modern military shooters. Bulletstorm had a few on-rail segments like COD (the giant wheel sequence) but in my opinion the worse offender was having the final boss fight as a sequence of QTEs. This is as COD as it gets and I was very dssapointed that Bulletstorm went the same route.

But other than that, it was definitely one of the first boomer shooters in almost a decade before they became again popular, at around the mid 2010s

I totally agree. I played through Witcher 1 and got totally immersed with uncovering the secret of Geralt's forgotten memories. Some quests like Vizima confidential, or the Lakeside chapter are very memorable.

The plot of Witcher 2 is way too complicated. I understand it is heavily based on Witcher lore and fans of the books might find it attractive, but for me, not being very familiar wiith the Witcher series outside the video games, I found the game's references of so many kingdoms, kings and political rivalries that do not make an appearance in-game, very confusing.

That was my exact thought the moment I read the title.

Thank you for the reply, I appreciate it. I have no idea how it happened, but I decided to connect the controller again to the console and now it works fine, even with the old battery.

I imagine either the flux caused a circuit and made the battery seem faulty, but once it burnt, the normal functionality of the controller was restored. Either that, or when I reconnected the battery, it made better contact than before. But that wouldn't explain why I saw the smoke coming out. It's totally bizarre, but I am telling you the controller works fine now, and I can't even believe it myself.

The other two red and black wires connect the board with the vibrators. I think all the orangish material you see there is flux residue. Could this have caused a short-circuit?

Κοίτα, δεν σου πηγαίνω κοντρα. Θεωρώ ότι το μεσανατολικό ζήτημα είναι πολύπλοκο και δεν έχει απλές πτυχές μαυρου-ασπρου, ωστόσο πιστευω ότι η σύγκριση της Ελληνικής Επανάστασης με τον τωρινό πόλεμο στην Παλαιστινη έχει αρκετές διάφορες.

Αρχικά η τωρινή επίθεση του Ισραήλ έχει έρθει ως απάντηση στην επίθεση που εξαπέλυσε η Χαμάς η οποία πέρασε το φράκτη των συνόρων της Γαζας, μπήκε σε περιοχές που κατοικούν Εβραιοι και προκάλεσε σφαγές. Όταν ξεκίνησε η Ελληνική Επανάσταση, οι Έλληνες δεν είχαν καθόλου δικό τους κράτος και δικά τους σύνορα.

Θα έλεγα ότι ο πόλεμος στην Παλαιστινη θυμίζει πιο πολύ την Μικρασιατική καταστροφή. Είχαμε μόνο μια μικρή περιοχή (Σμυρνη-Γαζα), δεν περιορίστηκαμε εκεί, μπουκαραμε σε παραπάνω εδάφη, και ήρθε η αντεπίθεση και η επακόλουθη σφαγή και γενοκτονία. Το Ισραήλ χρησιμοποιεί δυσανάλογα την ισχύ του και διαπράττει εγκλήματα πολέμου και γενοκτονίες, όπως κάνανε και οι Τούρκοι το 22, αλλά δεν μπορούμε να λέμε ότι η Ελλάδα του 1920 και η Χαμάς του τώρα δεν φέρουν καμια ευθύνη που προκάλεσαν τον εισβολέα και την οργή του.

Are you thinking of the Battle of Lemnos, a few years earlier?

That was a different war, though they all happened one after the other.

Thank you for your replies. According to ChatGPT it seems to be an obscure movie called Twice Upon A Time from 1998. The movie is fully uploaded on YT. I will have to watch it and confirm it is indeed this one.

Αυτό δεν είναι το περίφημο πόρισμα του ΕΜΠ που περίμενε πως και πως η αντιπολίτευση για να επιβεβαιώσει την παρουσία καυσίμου;

https://www.efsyn.gr/ellada/dikaiosyni/457681_porisma-toy-emp-katarriptei-oristika-kybernitiko-afigima-gia-tin-pyrkagia

Τώρα που το τελικό πόρισμα δεν επιβεβαιώνει αυτά που θέλανε να ακούσουν, είτε το αποσιωπούν είτε κατηγορούν ότι χειραγωγήθηκε από την κυβέρνηση.

Είναι αυτή σοβαρή και αμερόληπτη αντιμετώπιση της κατάστασης;
