Nightdive’s remake masterfully brings most of the aspects that haven’t aged as well into the present day, with excellent new graphics and nearly all the modern gameplay conveniences you could want. Tweaking the technical workings of Citadel space station to come out on top and foil SHODAN’s machinations is just as compelling as it ever was, making the original System Shock one of gaming’s classics for a very good reason.
Kayla Kent cracks me up! I’ve been a long time subscriber of her channel and she is a seriously impressive guitarist who NAILS Pantera Dimebag solos…but as she shows in this off the cuff Metallica jam, that she has a lot more skills too. Check out her channel if you dig metal guitar covers. 🤘
Side Adventure – Returning to the Wing Commander series now. While I appreciated Wing Commander III Heart of the Tiger a lot, I had heard Wing Commander IV The Price of Freedom was even better. Spoiler alert: it is.
Wing Commander IV: The Price of Freedom was an exceptional game that left a lasting impact on the gaming community for several reasons. Released in 1996, this space combat simulation game, developed by Origin Systems, boasted impressive graphics and a captivating storyline. It featured an engaging narrative, where players assumed the role of Colonel Christopher Blair, portrayed by Mark Hamill, and found themselves immersed in a gripping intergalactic conflict. The game’s outstanding production values, including live-action cutscenes with Hollywood-grade acting, further elevated the immersive experience. Moreover, the intuitive flight controls and strategic gameplay elements provided a satisfying challenge for both seasoned players and newcomers alike. The emotional depth of the characters, combined with the branching storyline, allowed players to make meaningful choices that affected the game’s outcome, enhancing its replayability. All these elements came together to create an unforgettable gaming experience, solidifying Wing Commander IV as a landmark title in the space simulation genre.
I review the new AT-ST & Chewbacca vehicle set. This is a part of The Vintage Collection line of toys, and the 40th anniversary set for Return of the Jedi. The Star Wars AT-ST (All Terrain Scout Transport) vehicle is a bipedal, heavily armed and armored military vehicle used by the Galactic Empire in the Star Wars universe. It is similar in design to the larger AT-AT (All Terrain Armored Transport) vehicle, but is smaller and more agile, making it ideal for scouting and patrol duties. The AT-ST is equipped with a variety of weapons, including a chin-mounted laser cannon, concussion grenade launchers, and a blaster cannon mounted on the top of its head. It first appeared in the 1983 film “Return of the Jedi” and has since become an iconic vehicle in the Star Wars franchise, appearing in numerous films, TV shows, and other media.
The 8-track was a magnetic tape cartridge format used for music playback that was popular in the United States from the mid-1960s to the early 1980s. It was developed by a group of companies led by Lear Jet Corporation, and was initially marketed as a way to listen to music in cars. The format was widely adopted due to its portability and the ability to play pre-recorded tapes. However, its popularity declined in the late 1970s with the rise of cassette tapes, which offered better sound quality, smaller size, and longer playing times. By the early 1980s, 8-tracks had largely been replaced by cassettes and were no longer being produced. Today, the 8-track is remembered as a curious and somewhat quaint piece of music history.
The Attack of the Killer Tomatoes franchise is a humorous horror-comedy series that began with the 1978 film “Attack of the Killer Tomatoes” and includes multiple sequels, a TV series, and other spin-off media. The premise of the franchise is that tomatoes have become sentient and are attacking and killing humans, often with comedic and absurd results. The franchise is known for its campy humor, satire of B-movies, and its use of practical effects to bring the killer tomatoes to life.
In the mid-1980s, Domino’s Pizza introduced a quirky new mascot known as The Noid, created by the same company behind “The California Raisins”. This mischievous character quickly became a cultural phenomenon and the face of the pizza chain’s advertising campaigns.
