A middle-aged nerd from the UK. I like films and write about them, sometimes for Film Stories or my blog.

Have a great day.

  • Heretic + Hexen re-release - Launch Trailer | Nightdive Studios

    跳过

  • I remember getting hold of this game and the typing in the Doom cheat code for invulnerability. it kills you instantly! 😂

  • mfw I start self-diagnosing in middle age

    跳过

  • Yeah, both my kids are different levels of autistic but it wasn't until my wife pointed out that I was too, it all suddenly clicked into place.

    For reference, I would've been about 47 when this happened, a couple of years ago.

  • That 16-bit Terminator 2 throwback doesn't feature Arnie's likeness, but it did license the guy who played adult John Connor for 30 seconds in the film's intro

    跳过

  • If you want to know about crap licenses to movies, there was a 8bit game for Blade Runner, but the developers couldn't obtain the rights to do it. However, they were able to gain the rights to another part of the film.

    The box art for the Blade Runner game states in rather small text on the cover, "video game interpretation of the film score". Yes, they got the rights to the soundtrack!

  • Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time Remake Shows Signs Of Life With Small Update

    跳过

  • I had this on releas on my GameCube and really enjoyed it. Several years ago, I played through it again and it holds up really well. The combat gets a bit repetitive and the camera can sometimes get stuck in a strange position but apart from that, it was a lot of fun.

  • Resident Evil fans, meet your Victorian cousin

    跳过

  • I can't believe we thought that tank controls were good back then.

  • Steam Deck / Gaming News #19

    跳过

  • A lovely read for Saturday morning, thank you. I'm really surprised to learn that Cyberpunk is running sub HD on the Switch 2 and then being upscaled. Maybe I don't really understand it properly but I guess the filters and technology hide the jank?

  • 007 First Light - Announcement Trailer | PS5 Games

    跳过

  • Apparently, Bond is only 26 in this story. He's only just started out as a 00 or training to be one.

  • My first computer was a ZX81, but I think it was a custom build between my father, a carpenter, and my uncle, an electrician who fixed arcade games.

    It was housed in a wooden case with a proper keyboard. The 16K RAM pack had been soldered on inside, so there was no case of it ever crashing due to a bad connection.

    Simple black and white graphics with no sound. I loved it to bits.

  • James Bond Game From Hitman Dev Has a New Title, 007 First Light, Official Reveal This Week

    跳过

  • I had Nightfire, I think it was called, for my GameCube. My favourite level was driving the Aston Martin Vanquish through the small towns in the Alps.

  • James Bond Game From Hitman Dev Has a New Title, 007 First Light, Official Reveal This Week

    跳过

  • I wonder how it will differ from just being Hitman in a tuxedo? Will it follow the games of years gone by and feature driving sections? 😁

  • Alien Isolation VR is finally here with immersive motion controls and much more

    跳过

  • Nice idea... Never playing it. 😂 Playing it on television in the dark with headphones was bad enough!

  • GOG News for Gaming/Linux/Steam Deck

    跳过

  • Is it just me, or has Heroic Launcher broken some games with this update? Rebel Galaxy launches with a window to change graphics options. OK that and then the game starts.

    After the HL update, I close the graphics options window and then the game launches in a black screen but all the sounds are going? This is on SteamDeck by the way. All my other games still play fine.

  • Manga Issho - Europe’s first manga magazine

    跳过

  • So it's an English web page advertising a book that's only available in German, Spanish, Italian, and French. Damn, I was going to order one.

  • Who will be the next James Bond? Amazon's tough 007 decision

    跳过

  • Henry Cavill screen tested for Casino Royale back in 2006 as mentioned in the article, but he is too old now.

    And not just because these auditions were found on a VHS tape that was found in a dumpster last month 😁, at the same time, there were tests with Sam Worthington, Rupert Friend and Anthony Starr.

  • playing DVDs on Windows

    跳过

  • VLC is all you need for DVDs. You just need to download this file, unzip it, and put the DLL file into the same directory where VLC is installed.

    This file will enable VLC to access the DVD in such a way to bypass the protection methods.

  • What was the largest Lego set you've ever built and would you do it again?

    跳过

  • I can't remember the piece size of the top of my head, but physically, the Raiders of the Lost Ark temple is my biggest and would happily build it again.

    My only worry is that the rubber bands might perish at some point.

    I enjoyed building the ECTO1 but the stickers were really annoying. There's a large number of stickers representing rust and they're all identical.

    I was going to leave them off so the car would look pristine like the original film but I changed my mind.

  • What is one video game cheat code that will you will always remember?

    跳过

  • As others have already mentioned, IDKFA for Doom and didn't it work in Doom 2 as well?

    I only ask because when ID Software released Heretic, a swords and sorcery style Doom game, I remember typing in IDKFA, expecting the same results. It was the Doom engine after all. Except typing in the classic code kills you instantly!

    Another isn't strictly a cheat code. On the old 8bit computers the UK, you could enter some programming code to change the memory before loading in a game. (This is over simplified.)

    Because of the altered memory, it would effect the game in some way. E.g. infinity health or lives.

    I found a listing in a magazine which you could type in to help with the ZX Spectrum version of Batman: The Movie.

    In this platform game, with the cheat, when a bad guy tried to climb a ladder, they would freeze.

    This was very helpful and worked wonderfully all the way through the game. That was until you reached the very end whereupon the Joker was on a rope ladder attached to a helicopter.

    The code interfered with the end of game boss in a way it wasn't expecting and the game would crash.

    Thanks.

  • How did you hurt yourself in a very stupid way?

    跳过

  • I was carrying a hoover downstairs and slipped. The hoover fell down the stairs faster than me and stopped at the bottom obviously. The wire had partially unspooled and the very British three prong plug was sitting on the ground, pointing straight towards the sky.

    Guess where my arse landed once I had finished slipping down the carpeted stairs?

  • NSFW

  • I'll never forget this one. Never played the game though because it was famously riddled with bugs.
