    Rubber! We had a viewing party for that one. Used to do a thing called Bad Movie Night, and that one went over like gangbusters.

    Is this it for Farsight / Pinball Arcade?

    Yes. If they bought it not in game, but from PSN or Xbox, and it was still on the console hard drive, you shouldn’t have an issue. If it was purchased in game through FarSight, you would always need to log in and use the person you bought it off of’s user ID. If you wanted to buy it for PC, I...

    I'm more than happy to ignore T3 and Genisys, I actually enjoyed Salvation. Dark Fate is serviceable, but unfortunately I don't think it added any new ideas, and none of the big action sequences stuck with me. Arnold seemed lost, Linda was great. James Cameron is my favorite filmmaker, I thought...

    Pinball machines track data also to help operators optimize settings for making the most profit. You’re trying to make this into a conspiracy or something, that Zen has nefarious plans. Your phone tracks more data about you than any game, as do web browsers and social media accounts, and those...

    I came for the Williams, I stayed for the others

    Read the user agreement of any game you play, purchased outright or not. I’d bet there’s something in their granting them the ability to mine your usage patterns for their own internal purposes. Wanna go online for multiplayer that uses a game server? Same thing. Don’t fool yourself into...

    Glad I had it mostly right! I was only 14 or 15 when that all went down, was pretty obsessed with entertainment news, so I’m quite impressed with myself for even remembering all these years later.

    Brosnan didn’t turn it down, the studio wouldn’t release him from his contract. Show was on the bubble for getting picked up the next season, soon as they heard he might become Bond they figured they had a hot commodity and green kit the next season. If memory serves, that season got canceled...

    This is it, the end of my 21 film Bond binge. Whew! Fortunately the four Brosnan era films were actually rather enjoyable to sit through, and I wasn’t nearly jotting down as many snarky notes as I did for the others, often finding myself sitting back and enjoying entire sequences before...

    I'm working on my final write-up, but for me Tomorrow Never Dies is probably my fave of all the Bond movies, as it strikes just the right balance and has no dull moments. Plus Michelle Yeoh is pure awesome as we finally get a real martial artist in a Bond film. As for Denise Richards, she might...

    Once Zen adds Williams physics as an option for all the Zen originals, I think people are going to come to love a lot of there past efforts. Wait for Steam sales, they'll often deep discount table packs 66-75% off. They used to do Humble Bundle sales too, which gives you a Steam code, so keep...

    I’ve started watching HBO’s Watchmen, I was waiting for all this seasons Better Call Saul to finish so I could binge that, and once done with Bond I might switch over to the Mission Impossible films.

    If you are getting sick of seeing my posts about my Bond binge, think how I’m feeling actually watching them! I am officially done with all the various Bond actors other than Brosnan. Remember, Daniel Craig’s Bond films are not part of this binge since they were unavailable to me. More things...

    I don’t have any of the Craig Bonds available to me so I’ll be stopping with Brosnan. They are indeed longer films. Casino Royale is I think the best Bond movie, period. Quantum of Solace is ruined by terrible photography and editing as a response to the Bourne films. Skyfall starts great, has a...

    I’m over half way done with my Bond Binge! Good thing cuz these 3 films I just watched were rough. This also marks the point at which I only saw these on TV, if at all, versus seeing them in the theater first. Some new trends emerged, starting with Bond not smoking at all. Also the end credits...

    I really like Immortals, and yes the original 300 was good. Those others in that video? Not so much. I'd sooner watch the Clash of the Titans remake. I really hope Sony eventually makes a God of War movie, as it is more violent than 300, more fantastical than Clash, steeped in Greek mythos...

    I toyed with the idea of rewatching all the ST:TNG movies, and then realized I just didn't care. I jot down notes while watching the Bond films, just quick little reminders for what I thought in the moment. The ones I just took for Moonraker last night were not kind.

    I remember really liking Outland as a kid. Saturn 3 used to play all the time on local channel that would play movies every Saturday. Seemed like it and Logan's Run were on heavy rotation. Saturn 3 though scared the hell out of me as a kid, the whole nature of not being able to run away because...

    I've been posting my summaries on Facebook, maybe you guys will enjoy them here... DR NO (1962) First things first, what is up with that title sequence? Clearly not the model for future Bond films, and the jarring music shift from Bond theme to 60's vibe groove to 3 Blind Mice had me puzzled...

    People often say Connery is the best Bond, but why? What is it about his Bond that is so much better? Because at the moment, I can say it's not the quality of the movies! Here's my observations on Connery Bond v Moore Bond... First off, Moore Bond only smokes cigars now. He also has no...
