It's always kind of nice when something turns out exactly as you expect it would.

Example - I figured the Robocop remake would be a steaming pile of shit, and a profound embarrassment next to the original.
And I was right. -laughs-

Good morning, everyone! *morning hugs*

I hope you are all doing dwell today?


Today's little quote of irrelevance:

“Out of the unreal shadows of the night comes back the real life that we had known. We have to resume it where we had left off, and there steals over us a terrible sense of the necessity for the continuance of energy in the same wearisome round of stereotyped habits, or a wild longing, it may be, that our eyelids might open some morning upon a world that had been refashioned anew in the darkness for our pleasure, a world in which things would have fresh shapes and colours, and be changed, or have other secrets, a world in which the past would have little or no place, or survive, at any rate, in no conscious form of obligation or regret, the remembrance even of joy having its bitterness and the memories of pleasure their pain.” ~ Oscar Wilde.


Good morning, Crow!

I'm not really a big movie watcher anymore, I have only ever seen the original movies (even the terrible third one), but I can imagine how bad the new one is, given what I hear about remakes these days.

Somehow I get the feeling you really like shitty games and movies if I follow this thread ;-P

Robocop remake? They never made one. There is only the Verhoeven 1987 version featuring Peter Weller. They never made a remake. Doesn't exist.

*good morning hug* The quote is quite interesting. A fresh world after waking from sleep does not sound too bad ;-)

I just think he likes the pleasure self-torturing himself brings. You know how strange these American are. :-)

*hello hug*

You are probably right :D
But I can't shake the feeling that it is such a waste of time to make your way through all this shitty stuff ;-)

It's a quote from The Picture of Dorian Gray. The book is not one of my favourites, but it does have some insightful elements to it.

I agree, but he seems to avoid good games and movies like the plague. Short of someone taking all those horrible games and movies away from him, I don't see him changing. :-)

Good morning, dear GOGers fellows ! :-)
How are you doing ?
**Hugs and coffee for anyone who want some**

Good morning *return hug* I'll take the hugs.

\o/ Yesssss !!!! \o/
How are you doing Moonshine ?

Good morning. =)

It's really, really bad, to put it mildly.

Compared to the original, it's a pathetic joke. Chock full of squandered talent, a lead with less charisma than my left flip-flop, next to no action and what action there is? Completely spineless.

Within the last few days I've rewatched the original, and in the last two days I watched John Wick, a recent action movie that actually delivers. Those combined factors make its assorted shortcomings that much more apparent.

Agent would, obviously ;-p

Honestly? I'm not a huge fan of either, and movies even less so than games.
I have no patience for it and I have a backlog that's going to take months upon months to clear.

Of the movies I'm going to see, none of them are ones I'd call awful beforehand.
If I wanted to do that, I'd load up Mystery Science Theater 3000 instead. At least they try to make garbage more interesting.

For games, it's typically either a matter of wanting certain infamous items for posterity, their sheer shittiness making them worth having in a collection, or old business, some piece of crap or another that I feel compelled to complete.
My head won't shut up until I do so and wipe them out, and so I torture myself clearing them.

Soulstorm was like that.
