Black Bag was almost perfectly targeted at me and yes I loved it

Four frames from: SIEGE (1985)

CLOSE-UP (1999)

Forgot how much the tate mechanic in PS2 Shinobi rules. Twists your perspective on encounter design to look at it as a puzzle - how do I approach this encounter to get the perfect chain vs how do I survive. So good, but let down by the lock-on system. I’d looove to see a remaster.

If you’re building a cart in the last few hours of that Criterion sale, highly recommend CROSSING DELANCEY. 1980s Manhattan, fall, and Peter Riegert as the most charming pickle seller you’ll ever meet. A sleeper romance picture that’ll hopefully get much more attention thanks to Criterion’s new 4k.

This still holds true for another three hours for me (going to find a unique longsword behind a waterfall guaranteed)

This was a real case of the box promising a completely different movie than the one you end up getting. Looks like a big city procedural thriller, ends up being a Hardy Boys-y cabin… mystery, I guess?

I’m building a lil’ CRT gaming setup and bought a beautiful used JP Panzer Dragoon the other day (s/o @pinkgorillagames.com!) without realizing it’s the 30th anniversary today! So, here, enjoy my (very temporary) setup. I swear it’ll get nicer!

Having intrusive thoughts (about buying a copy of SIREN PS2)

This is a real banger from an “art direction > ‘graphics’” perspective. Almost 30 years old and this still looks great!

I watched La Chimera on a plane, so does it really count? Is the air a kind of no man’s land for film viewing? Who’s to say

One of my favorite titles from that era that I nonetheless always forget about until a post like this comes up. I was absolutely terrible at it, but the process of wobbling through these extremely 3D levels with a joystick, first carefully and then in a panic, was always great. All-timer ❤️

You’d be surprised how many people will compliment you on a sick Myst hat

Today’s physical media pickups - I’m rebuilding a PS2 collection brick by brick, keeping only the hits. … okay I also love trash and adventure games so The Davinci Code is in there too. I’m curious, so sue me

Started off strong but ended kind of… ehhh. Nonetheless: watch Double Door! It rules! Gays, you will *love* Victoria Van Brett, honest.

Avowed is very good, as it turns out

don’t talk to me or my son ever again

A lot of people have been asking questions about THE DEVICE, in which I’m a major investor. It’s simple! You just type in your query, hit enter, and wait! Between one and ten human souls are sacrificed to Kzyrgul, Demon-Prince of Deceit, and he gives you an answer that’s about 40% true!

Realizing that too much of my personality is based on Return to Zork.

Watching THE 8 DIAGRAM POLE FIGHTER and in retrospect, having a whole scene where you discuss how the temple’s style of pole fighting is used to break the fangs of wolves… was definitely foreshadowing. SO MANY teeth getting knocked out of mouths

Fully torn between fond nostalgia and “holy shit that’s ugly” rn

Someone else liked Land of Bad! I’m choosing to take this as evidence that I’m not completely brain-rotted from years of 90s thrillers
