If they do a third Dune film it will I imagine incorporate a lot of Dune Messiah, which should mean that Face Dancers will be heavily featured. Looking forward to that! The SyFy channel production did a nice job with them, imo.

I'm somewhat gratified and a bit amused that for decades I've proposed Christopher Walken should play Count Fenrig, and now instead he plays Fenrig's childhood friend, the Emperor. Funny enough, in his conversations with his daughter there is in my mind some of the vibe of the conversations...

The latest patch really boosted performance, and smoothed out the rougher aspects of gameplay. I had several hours of mindless fun playing under it.

I'm pretty sure that it's what my former canvassing partner for the Sanders 2016 campaign uses, a lot. I started giving her my nVidia cards as I upgraded, starting with a GTX 970, and with the RTX 2080 she had a revelation, lol, and started streaming her and her group's Final Fantasy game play...

I received the game as a bonus for buying a nVidia card, and I have to say that in a way all the negativity towards the game lowered my expectations. Maybe that had something to do with my ability to appreciate the parts of it I like, and to enjoy the time I spent playing it so far. It's been...

Oh, well that shoots my theory down. Thanks for the heads-up. Though if they end Season Two on a cliff-hanger, with the story of the bad alternate time line still going, then that could work to end the series with a bang in the third season. Taking a cue from The Lord of the Rings finale, they...

I think Star Trek: Picard might be setting itself up to finish the series off with a bang this season. It would make sense to make sure the show didn't end on a whimper, as a great finish would keep the show in demand for future rentals. The whole alternate time line stuff is being taken to the...

Mushkin: I bought two 480 GB Striker SSD in May of 2015 from them, one after the other, and one failed close to a year later. I guess my being able to switch between the two helped support realize that the dud was a dud, but either way they shipped out a replacement very quickly. Off topic but...

Headey was excellent, but Summer Glau also had lots of amazing moments that can stand with anything from the films. Like the time she forgot she was a Terminator and was compelled to see a shrink, and while in therapy suddenly recalled a burning desire to put the head of John Connor on a pike...

Sniper Elite 4, and just now Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy. Funny enough now that I think about it, there's a good contrast between the two, one focusing on delivering a great story and atmosphere, the other on delivering great game play.

Well this is funny, at the beginning of the game it's winter; we can check a PC and read the news, and a blizzard is expected. I live on the north east coast of the USA, and we're expecting the first big one of the winter within 24 hours. Lol, that really helps with making the game feel even...

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order also on Prime Gaming. They gave me an Origin code which the Origin app for Windows accepted, and added the game to my library. Indigo Prophecy Remastered has been downloading by way of the Amazon app for Windows. Ha, I just checked and Steam is offering Fahrenheit...

Amazon's Prime Gaming lists Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy Remastered. https://www.aspyr.com/games/fahrenheit-indigo-prophecy-remastered

Lol, that cartoon is how I feel about the BSG reboot, it was too bad that it got cancelled before they could have their final season, there were so many questions to be answered! I had a hunch that Lucy Lawless might make a return. Maybe they could do a series of graphic novels? ;) lol All...
