The Wraith (1986)

download (1)

The wraith has some weird personal memories for me, see my brother loved this movie. I’ve seen it a million times. As a kid I ended up hating this movie. Its a good movie, I just saw it so many times and he loved it so much I ended up hating the damned thing. However I did feel it deserved a review for nostalgia reasons and because it actually is a really good and original movie, at least for what it was.

A group of motor head gang members pretty much run an area. They steal, they rob and everyone knows it, but nobody can prove it. They also have a love of racing and occasionally force people into racing for their cars, Enter a mysterious stranger. He also likes to race, but he races for an entirely different reason.

He starts challenging these guys to races and when he starts winning, he kills them. forces them off the road, pulls ahead spins and crashes into them head on. All sorts of ways. Then his car somehow comes back together unharmed and away he goes. This wraith has his reasons, and they are good. If you are a car guy or gal that likes sexy cars and death, check this one out. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Space Balls (1987)

download

There isn’t much to say about space balls, its a classic Mel Brooks movie. It is goofy, funny, blatantly mocks and parodys another more famous movie while slightly making fun of things in society. You also probably saw it as a kid and didn’t truly understand many of the jokes until you watch it again as an adult. One example that I always remember is when the are combing the desert with actual combs. As a kid I always laugh because obviously this isn’t what they meant. I never picked up on the not so subtle racial joke of the 2 black guys yelling “we ain’t found shit” while using a hair pick instead of the long hair comb you always see white greasers using in the 50’s.

The movie however is amazing, and like always never takes itself serious. It tells the story of Lone Star saving a princess while Lord Helmet and the evil empire tries to use her as ransom to steal air. Yes, air. Anyway any fan of the comedy genre need to see this one, best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Evolution (2001)

download (1)

What happens when a meteorite hits the ground and brings billions of 1 celled organism? You get some excited scientist. What happens when over night those 1 celled lil guys advanced millions of years? Things get very bad for a small town, but hilarious for the rest of us. Yes somehow this movie is a comedy. I have no idea who thought this should be a comedy, but I am so glad they did. David Duchovny, Julianne Moore and Orlando Jones are amazing and hilarious. Don’t get me wrong, the movie isn’t all that good. The plot is silly and makes very little sense, it is just funny as hell. If you like comedies and some how missed this one, check this one out.

Kerbal Space Program Enhanced Edition

download (2)

Any long time followers of the blog know I have a love hate relationship with this game. More on that here Kerbal Space Program. Hardest game for PS4? for the longest time the game was basically broken, and not even in a small way. The only way to really play it was to learn how to manipulate a system that didn’t much work, to the point the company de-listed the game and hired a completely new company to make it. You can see that here. Kerbal On Consoles Finally Fixed?

However, how does it stack up? This one will be a bit long if you want a quick is it fixed and good sort of deal, scroll down to the end. If you want the long version where I talk about the PC, the original console version and the enhanced version keep going.

First off, the PC version is the original version and is probably the best version in terms of content. It is further along in development by a bit and has all the mods you can dream of. The controls are nice, the graphics are beautiful and is the definitive version. It also isn’t exactly all that heavy on your computer specs.

The original console version, this thing looked nice but damn was it a broken pile of shit. It would randomly delete your entire game, and not just the one you were working on. All of your save data. The control nodes were kind of like trying to do upper level geometry while drinking whiskey and juggling. Somehow, the game was fun as hell. I played it from the day I bought it until the day the Enhanced version came out.

Kerbal Enhanced Version. I gotta be honest here, this version may be my favorite version. First, I do prefer console games. I love a controller in my hands, tho I do own the PC version. That being said, the enhanced version is far superior to the original. The maneuver nodes work amazing, the ability to switch controls on the fly (pun intended) between rocket and planes in amazing and as always success or failure is just a lot of fun. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Open House (2018)

download (3)

Open House is the story of a young man and his mother that move into a relatives house temporarily following the tragedy of their Husband/father being killed by a driver that has a heart attack and runs off the road and hits him. Yes already this seems a bit over the top. I won’t go to much further into the story, mostly because it would’t take much to spoil but on the drive there is when it starts to get weird.

The acting is actually pretty solid, and it should be noted the movie does contain some nudity so be aware of that if you intend to watch it with children present. The movie itself is pretty basic, not bad but not good. It is actually one of the worse Netflix originals I have seen. That isn’t to say it isn’t worth watching, casual fans of the genre will enjoy it, tho any of the more devout fans will probably be a bit bored. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

The Long Dark ( Xbox One)

download

A plane crash, a cold wasteland. The indomitable will to survive. The Long Dark. What possibly is the hardest survival game ever made. You see there is a sandbox mode with a fun little story mode, but the real fun is in the sandbox.

You will be dropped into the wilderness with some basic supplies and thats it. No tutorial, no hints no map telling you wear to go. Just you, the frozen land of Canada and the wilderness. You will need to quickly find wood for a fire and hopfully some shelter before the cold and exhaustion take hold. After that you will need to find warmth, food and any other supplies you can get your hands on.

There will also be a need to go exploring, since things like a rifle, hatchet and other better things aren’t going to be easy to find. You may need to hide out in a cave, or a small fishing shack, where fishing can also be an option. This is a game that is worth checking out, best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Definitely,Maybe (2008)

download (10).jpg

Definitely maybe is basically the short version of how I met your mother when it comes down to it. A daughter wants to know how her parents that are now going through a divorce met, and her father played my Ryan Reynolds is a bit less than enthusiastic to tell his young daughter the history of his dating life. Hey I can see why, who wants to tell their kids their dating history. The movie isn’t Ryans usual comedy, it is actually a sweet and yet at times sad story of a man that just can’t seem to get the timing down with the love of his life.

The movie does of course have a happy ending as it is above anything a love story, for fans of that the movie is actually great. The story is sweet, and well done. Many people however will be going into this expecting it to be a comedy and will be greatly disappointed. That being said, it is worth a watch. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Alien Contact:Outer Space (2017)

download

This is a movie only in the sense that it is as long as a movie and I found it on Netflix and it was in more than one section which also included the documentary section. It actually was pretty entertaining surprisingly enough. The documentary itself looks at reported evidence with varying degrees of merit and reliability about humanities attempts to contact alien life and a few signals that haven’t quite been explained as to what they are. That isn’t to say it attempts to actually answer the question of are we alone, it doesn’t. Hell if it did that shit would be all over the news I would think. Hell maybe not, either way if you are interested in that sort of thing its pretty cool. If not don’t waste your time. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Caddyshack (1980)

caddyshack

Oh caddyshack, you beautiful classic bastard. Its hard to believe this movie is going on 38 years old. The late Rodney Dangerfield is hilarious playing a brash new member of a very exclusive golf club as a very young Bill Murray plays an obsessed grounds keeper just trying to kill a gopher, and directed by the late great Harold Ramis, so at least he has that going for him. This movie is one of those classic 80’s movies that people today still quote and look at as an all time great and with good reason. People just loved this movie from the very beginning. Even today sitting down to watch it just brings a smile to my face. Any movie fan needs to watch this movie, even if its just for the history. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
