    Day 839 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing. Today’s game is 007 First Light. I had been holding out on this game because it had Denuevo. But I saw it was on sale and decided to do a double check. I guess they removed it back in July. I still wasn’t assured thought so I did some stuff and got ahold of a copy to test it out first before dipping into the 45$ it would cost me. My first impressions are? Well first: Fuck this game is pretty. Midway through chapter 3 I…

    I love the 2019 Midway movie, but every battleship in Pearl Harbor at the beginning of the movie is a Pennsylvania class ship.

    A movie called "Midway" ought to be 3 hours of Ray Spruance drinking coffee and looking out a window while Miles Browning makes mouth noises and throws charts around in the background.

    I walked to my neighborhood theater in Chicago to see that while Midway Blitz was happening, literally with a DHS helicopter over the neighborhood, without really knowing that the film was to do with immigration stuff. Hit like a fucking freight train.

    i put on the 1976 film Midway and it starts with an abbreviated version of the best sequence from Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo which is kind of a shame because that whole movie is primarily worth it for the intense low level flying scenes during the raid.

    They sacrifice themselves like samurai, these Americans. A critical part of WWII gets the big epic cinematic treatment, with all star casting and lots of noise. Though purporting to be exactly how things were during this particular battle, a pinch of salt is also needed. Much of the film is taken up with laying foundations for the air-sea engagement of the title, political posturing and military machinations are joined by needless sub-plots. The dialogue is often cheese laden, some…
