Cannon films, who made this, were infamously sketchy and responsible for some of the most baffling and terrible films of the 80s, with He-Man and Superman 4 being their most high profile flops. They were one of the driving forces in the 80s exploitation films with series like Death Wish (the sequels) which were filled with gratuitous sex and violence (and sexual violence).

Founded by Israeli brothers their modus operandi was to promise whatever it took to investors to get a film funded, without actually having anything behind the promises. Once they got the money they would bang together a script and film in the quickest, cheapest way possible.

Despite all this they are responsible for some of my favourite films of my childhood. They launched Van Damme’s career and made the cult classic Bloodsport. They popularised ninja films in the west with Enter the Ninja and the American Ninja series, and made Sho Kusugi a household name (ok, maybe just amongst martial arts obsessed teenage boys).

The documentary Electric Boogaloo: The Wild, Untold Story of Cannon Films is really great, I highly recommend it to anyone who grew up in the 80s or has an interest in cult films.

Multiplayer: Quake.

Single Player: Half Life.

Absolutely unhinged take.

Perhaps I’m missing something but this seemed like a very long, overblown discussion that doesn’t actually bring up anything new at all?

What do you mean by DRM here? Are you saying you need to be able to pirate it?

As a 6’4 insomniac, I fucking hate flying.

It’s brought up in the comments but I think the book The Sabres of Paradise is much more central to Herbert’s influences on Dune. This is a good article on it:

Starcraft pros about to get their Ender’s Game moment.

ICO.

I had the same experience, “flat” is the right word for it. There’s a lack of precision to it all, zombies just come from anywhere and the actual combat is somehow unsatisfying, something to do with the time to kill and weapon feel maybe? Kind of hard to pinpoint why but it just doesn’t feel anything like L4D.

Spend your money, travel, get outside your comfort zone and challenge yourself. Or get professional help.

I know, they just didn’t provide any details about how or where in that comment, though they followed it up with a link after I complained.

Why?

This is much more useful, much appreciated.

Very fucking helpful, thanks.

Is it even possible to play Tribes anymore? Are there any active servers, for any version?

This has to end.

Spoiler alert: it isn’t going to end.

You’ll formalise your knowledge in college, for now just work on whatever you enjoy most without worrying too much about what its teaching you.

My 14 year old niece’s favourite band is The Cure and I couldn’t be prouder.

Sure, just keep in mind that most of the answers you got are completely wrong :]
