My review of ASSASSINS CREED: ORIGINS.

Mostly very positive.

You've posted that before. Glitch in the program?

 

Lovecraftian jokes, like Lovecraftian horrors, exist beyond human concepts of linear space and time. I have always posted it before, just like it is always the first time I post it.

(Also, good memory. That was over two years ago, it was posted in 'The Lit Forum Social Thread, v2.0.15')

 

Also it has my favorite fictional character in it, the King in Yellow!

And at the risk of reposting something that I may or may not have first seen here:

But actually I came here to report the following relevant dialogue:

ME: We should start calling them earth diapers or something. You know, like they have space diapers in Star Wars.
HER (holding up the coffee pack): Ground coffee.

 

Then this might be of interest

 

I wrote two Cthulhu themed books actually. Love Lovecraft so much.

So Tarantino apparently has an idea for a Star Trek movie. If anything comes of this it's either going to be the best Star Trek movie or the worst.

Do anybody know what dialect the voiceover has?

 

I can't wait for Tarantino Trek. It will at least be something different, something all these increasingly-homogenized, studio-mandated genre blockbusters desperately need.

After all, his DNA is in the origins of Casino Royale, one of if not the best of the Bond films.

 

If it wants to be the best Trek movie, it will have to beat out Wrath of Khan, Undiscovered Country, and Galaxy Quest, in that order.

 

Having finished AC: Origins and having some time until Resident Evil 7's "Not a Hero" I'm torn what to play next of my games:

* Life is Strange: Before the Storm
* Murdered: Soul Suspect
* Dex (Symphony of the Night meets Deus Ex)
* Perfect Dark 2

 

LEGO Lord of the Ring

 

Speaking of new approaches to Star Trek:

 

to return to cyberpunk

Spoiler

 

What is this I don't even

 

Funnily enough, the guy who plays the captain here (Jesse Plemons) auditioned for Kylo Ren early in the casting process for TFA.

 

I'll take that as a compliment that you think I can wirte and draw as good as Aaron Williams. But I would like to point out that he has some issues with some movies that I like (f.ex. Lucas' later works). Also if I was him would I not also promote PS238, Nodwick, Use sword on monster, or other of his works.

 

I thought Plemons was up for the role of Finn.

 

You Assassin's Creed fans might find this interesting http://www.medievalists.net/2016/12/orientalism-assassins-creed/

 

And like most things, it's a lot more fun with this.

 

Guys, I really have to recommend the video game "Dex - The Enhanced Edition" which available for download on Xbox and PS systems. It's an indie game which was created by Kickstarter but manages to transcend its origins to be something really special. The best way I can describe it is the game manages to combine Symphony of the Night and Deus Ex. There's some rough edges, which is to be expected with a budget of 60,000 Euros but it's easily more enjoyment than I've gotten out of a lot of triple A games.

The premise is the blue haired cyberpunk Dex wakes up in her apartment one day to find a bunch of corporate goons are going to murder her. She manages to escape only to end up in the dirty cyberpunk dystopia of New Harbor City. Dex has to figure out who is after her and why then stop them but it's the sidequests were the game really shows itself off. There are lots of really good writing moments in this game. The voice acting is great in the game as well. It's not perfect nor could it be for being an indie game but I really endorse the purchase.

Here's another review which largely agrees with me.

Warning some minor adult subject matter discussed.

 

Do anybody have any suggestions on books/comics/film that deals with the warrior culture of any of the indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast? Fiction or scholarly is just as good

 

Car I parked next to on campus today had "TK-007" as its license plate.
