Bad intentions, but great results!

Thu, 25 Dec 2008 04:37:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author posthumanbeing - My favorite girl and I have always been fans of mixed martial arts, and the Ultimate Fighting Championship in particular. The UFC, of course, is known for its testosterone-soaked combination of hysterical announcers, fun MMA action, colorful...

Posthumans versus Plot Holes

Tue, 17 Aug 2004 11:59:31 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author posthumanbeing - This was...not good. Now, to be fair, this is Alien Vs. Predator we're dealing with here, directed by the guy who did Mortal Kombat and Resident Evil, so you'd be some kind of idiot if you're expecting brilliance, but you...

If this is the Game Of Life, let's commit suicide

Sun, 8 Aug 2004 13:04:51 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author posthumanbeing - Story The story of The Game Of Life is that of a sarcastic internet user who spent $10 on a game at Walmart without first checking to make sure it doesn't, you know, suck. Behold my lack of judgment! Behold my shame! Look down upon...

Athena for Nintendo: Dionysus would be proud

Fri, 30 Apr 2004 19:45:36 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author posthumanbeing - Actually, he would. This game probably inspired all kinds of drinking, and everyone knows Dionysus is all about the drinking. Athena was a little-known side-scroller when the NES was at its height, but became infamous with the rise of...

It's a Terror Star! It's a Satellite Waterpark! It's both, in one fabulous installation!

Fri, 23 Apr 2004 03:56:17 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author posthumanbeing - I can hardly believe that this strategy game - one of the higher rated games of 2003 - has gone entirely unreviewed here. How could our vigilant game reviewers commit such an oversight? Ah, well, we'll fix that now. It's a good thing the galaxies...

Give me Wizardry 8 any day...

Mon, 19 Apr 2004 01:35:34 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author posthumanbeing - Being a few years old and little-known, this computer game isn't generally available anymore. Eh, what the hell. I've written about it before (on RPGnet, notably), and it doesn't have a review here, so I will write about it again for your...

Tron Deadly Discs for Intellivision: Another few zillion hours of my youth misappropriated

Sun, 11 Apr 2004 23:58:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author posthumanbeing - Movie games have pretty much always sucked. The problem with them is that few movies are non-stop action with power-ups and bonus areas everywhere. Thus, a completely faithful adaptation would be boring ("Hit the Square button until Morpheus feels like...

Night Stalker for Intellivision: Streaking humans versus color-coded killbots in classic action!

Fri, 9 Apr 2004 13:20:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author posthumanbeing - Despite being an early Intellivision cartridge, Night Stalker was a great overhead shooter in its day. Granted, in that particular day, it was perfectly acceptable for an entire game to be only one screen, and so Night Stalker was...

CD Baby Online Store: The land of sweetness (Challenge Yourself Write-Off)

Thu, 8 Apr 2004 09:21:03 GMT

Pitfall! for Intellivision: A first expedition into the jungle of pot-inspired mysteries

Mon, 5 Apr 2004 00:25:05 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author posthumanbeing - Back in what most people would call the Stick-Figure Graphics Age, Pitfall! (hereafter referred to as Pitfall to avoid making me look more excited than would be sane) was a breakthrough in side-scrolling action games, and its popularity...

Advanced Dungeons & Dragons for Intellivision: Adventures in the land of rubber caverns and death smoke

Sat, 3 Apr 2004 03:36:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author posthumanbeing - This was an Intellivision game from 1982, and back in those days, 16k was considered a lot of memory for a cartridge. Every Intellivision game put together would probably fit on a Playstation's RAM, let alone a CD. Thus, there was rarely much to these...

"So in love with everything I see..."

Sat, 13 Mar 2004 23:38:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author posthumanbeing - This is a wonderful album. How good is it? So good that I bugged the music leads to add it to the Epinions database just so I could review it and let people know. So good that I'll actually send a copy to the first user who comments and is willing to...

Hulk Hogan's one non-terrible movie (YJPW write-off)

"I'

sorry but you're just plain wrong" write-off. The idea here is to take a product where your feelings oppose the general consensus. The only...

"Hybrid children roaming free..."

Sun, 7 Mar 2004 05:16:51 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author posthumanbeing - This is a tribute album. My feelings about tribute albums were clearly explained in the "Tribute albums, or the universe's old condoms" entry of my much-neglected (and totally irrelevant) livejournal (which in turn needs to be subsidized into...

"I treat you good, and I expect the same from you..."

Sat, 6 Mar 2004 05:25:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author posthumanbeing - It's time for another Kyper review. Tic Tac Toe was his first album, from 1990, and the follow up to his "Tic Tac Toe" single, which predated the album. I'm not quite as fond of it as Countdown to the Year 2000 (my review for which is...

Under the flightpath...

Thu, 4 Mar 2004 02:35:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author posthumanbeing - I don't know much about Darren Price, other than he was the DJ for U
nderworld's
world tour before he started putting together his own stuff. I do know Under the Flightpath is the only album he made, which is...

"I'm your body hunter..."

Wed, 3 Mar 2004 16:47:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author posthumanbeing - Kyper was unique. He's the only techno/hip-hop artist I know of who advocated Christianity, bemoaned the sad state of the world, and predicted Armageddon...and yet had so many songs about taking drugs, having sex, and prowling discos for booty. You may...

This isn't why writing was invented

Wed, 25 Feb 2004 19:12:11 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author posthumanbeing - Imagine that you're watching a horror movie where a woman is descending some basement steps. Now, because you've seen dozens of other horror movies, you just know that a monster or psycho killer or something will jump out and attack her. Still, you...

Idiosyncratic and delightful

Tue, 24 Feb 2004 08:11:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author posthumanbeing - This is a cool book. Most novels use a long narrative with detailed characters, but Einstein's Dreams succeeds by doing the opposite. Its only real characters are Albert Einstein and his co-workers when he was working on the special theory of...

My mind...it BURNS...

Sun, 22 Feb 2004 06:31:14 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author posthumanbeing - This may be the most outrageously bad movie I have ever seen. Not one of the most outrageously bad movies. THE. Before, I might have awarded that honor to Battlefield Earth or Red Zone Cuba, but those movies only had things like...

The masses don't always suck

Fri, 20 Feb 2004 03:55:33 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author posthumanbeing - I have to wonder why I'm bothering to review this guide, since Final Fantasy IX is more than four years old by this point. Then again, new reviews for the guide keep popping up on Amazon, even now in 2004, so obviously someone still cares...

Animal Instincts 2: when pornography sucks more than literally

Fri, 29 Jun 2001 21:56:43 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author posthumanbeing - Are my standards too high?

I mean, am I such an ultra mega anal-retentive testosterone-laden prick that I start hurling bile by the gallons when even porno movies - which, if it weren't for religious propaganda films, would be THE most...

WHY can't there be a point to this series? Why?!

Tue, 26 Jun 2001 19:58:52 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author posthumanbeing - The Crow franchise has pretty much become the next Highlander franchise.

In both cases, we have an original, well-loved movie that could have stood damn well enough on its own. Sure, not that either had absolutely no...

Fundamentalist tripe of the highest order

Mon, 25 Jun 2001 09:14:27 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author posthumanbeing - While Epinion's "no really bad language" policy is an understandable stab at keeping the site accessible to younger netizens, there are moments where it blows up in your face. Such as when writing an opinion about Joan Hake Robie's The Truth About...

Style: 10,934,435...Substance: 0

Mon, 25 Jun 2001 06:22:56 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author posthumanbeing - Unlike console systems, the personal computer does not have an overflowing RPG genre. And what relatively few RPGs are available for the PC are almost always Yet Another High Fantasy Game. Bleah.

Then again, an overwhelming number...
