    Bud Spencer & Terence Hill - Slaps And Beans

    A river city ransom like beat 'em up as a tribute to the Bud Spencer & Terence Hill action comedy movies. If you're not into those movies you properly won't enjoy this much. It is relatively short, and it doesn't never cover all movies. But I had a lot of fun anyway. The game lacks proper fighting controls, there aren't any combo's you can actually perform. The racing minigame is almost unplayable with a controller. etc. A whole bunch of minor flaws. But it has a lot of references to the movies, and some of the original songs.

    Max Payne 3, the airport. I think it's the second encounter in the baggage claim area where you have to climb up while being attacked. Enemies keep respawning until you push through enough. So you cannot take your time to kill off everybody with the short supply of ammo you have.

    Well, instead of posting your highscore here and timing the thing you can simply do it all in-game.

     

    With the physics changes quite a few tables are slightly different. I noticed this really in Skyrim, hitting the skillshot is much more difficult now.

    Hey all, help! End of the month is my annual 24 hour nerd-a-thon some friends and i have been throwing for 25 years, and I need movie recommendations.

     

    Preferred parameters:

    Newish (or newly found/released (Samurai Cop was a fun hit when it was resurrected))

    Remarkable/Unusual/Terrible/Disturbing/Weird! Ultra violence is A-Ok, salacious torture and/or sexual violence is not! 

    Ideally not streaming on common services (but this is an older rule and obviously getting harder to abide)

     

    Previous hits: Hard to Be a God, Upstream Color, Turkish Star Wars, Neil Breen's Double Down, Hard Ticket to Hawii, The Visitor, The Raid

     

    I've slacked a bit this year, so far I only have Neil Breen's latest: Pass-Thru

    There's a completely different comic style of the US vs Europe, there European comics have way deeper lore and leave much more to the readers imagination due to the fact that there's maybe a story once a year and not every two weeks.

    I'm sure that certain person has a big backstory in the comics. Just like the

    mercenary squad

    Well I liked the movie, so you are both wrong.

    I never read any of the comics, but after seeing the movie it's really clear that the series was a big influence on Besson when he wrote Fifth Element. For the Fifth Element Besson was able to construct the whole world and characters from scratch. But for this movie he had to write a story for a well established world, and to make it work try to introduce viewers to this world within a short time.

    The Fifth Element is really compacted as a world for just what is needed for the movie, as there does not exist anything outside of the movie. A sequel to Fifth Element makes little sense. Another Valerian movie will make sense, because they can have a butt load of other adventures in that world. I would really like another movie in 5 years or so.

    Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition :tup:

    This is basically a re-release of the original with GWFL replaced with Steam. Just like the first release it is still a fun game. Over the top action where at every kill you feel like a real bad ass, combined with over the top (dumb) dialogues. It's simply great. And the game still looks cool, except for the lip sync... that looks really dated. The large detailed and colorful scenery is still a really refreshing sight in FPS games.

    Because this version is now released by Gearbox they added a option to play as Duke Nukem instead. This is a basically a model and VO swap for the main character. Nothing really changes, except that the work on Duke Nukem is quite bad. It's best to play it with the original character.

    Stories Untold :tup:

    Holy crap this game is good. If you look at the media it looks similar to that Stranger Things TV series. It sort of is. I can't tell much more, it would spoil too much.

    Maybe The Stanley Parable but as 80s horror would be the best description?

    The Interactive Adventures of Dog Mendonça & Pizzaboy :tmeh:

    A graphical adventure game. It's ok. There are some annoying standard adventure game mistakes in it, like lack of quickly exiting a scene and a lot of going back and forth between scenes. Also had to do a lot of pixel hunting to find things which I needed to complete the various puzzles (only later found out there's a `show hotspot` thing with the right mouse button). So a lot of wandering around trying to figure out what do to. You could say it's like those classic adventure games from the mid 90s. (Not as overly complex as them though).

    The game contains a lot of references to movies/games/... from the 80s and 90s. Sadly, in only a few cases you can look at them. Generally only plot elements are interactive. This might be to save cost on voice over work, but I wouldn't have minded just a text only description for minor stuff.
