Awix (3310 KP) rated the PC version of Euro Truck Simulator 2 in Video Games

Oct 29, 2019

Lorry-driving sim sounds like a joke, but then you try it just to see what it's like. 130 hours later you find yourself managing half-a-dozen garages across Europe with two or three times as many drivers working for you, while you simultaneously worry about getting a load of cement from Birmingham to Dusseldorf on time. The combination of driving, business management, and strategy/RP really does exert a peculiar attraction.

A big time sink, obviously, but not quite as easy as it sounds: the trucks are not easy to control on some of the roads, and every time you ding your rig or some idiot drives into the back of you it costs you money and can reduce your profit. Much of the time you can still relax and enjoy the beautifully rendered environment of the game - countries really do look different, although famous landmarks are a bit thin on the ground. Possibly not where the kids are at, but still a weirdly relaxing and absorbing experience.

Awix (3310 KP) rated Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019) in Movies

Jul 3, 2019 (Updated Jul 3, 2019)

Seventh Spider-Man movie gets off to a slightly wobbly start, almost seeming to have been slipped a real hospital pass by Endgame: clearly it feels obliged to address the rather messy state of the MCU, in addition to making a big fuss about being a proper MCU film (much more than the non-Sony MCU films do). However, once Spider-Man and his moderately amazing friends head off to Europe the film perks up considerably, especially with the appearance of Jake Gyllenhaal as Mysterio (Gyllenhaal is very good value).

The film is genuinely funny and benefits a lot from a clever plot - the problem is that the nature of the plot is extremely guessable, even if you're only passingly familiar with the comics. Still, good jokes, nice performances, and the best Tower Bridge-based VFX sequence since Gorgo in 1961. I think it would be unwise to try and intuit the whole future direction of the Marvel project from this one film, but this is still good (if slightly uneven) fun.

Kudos

Suspense and thrilling

Valkyrie- is a good movie. Its a good suspense, thriller thats based on a true story.

The plot: Col. Claus von Stauffenberg (Tom Cruise) serves Germany with loyalty and pride but fears that Hitler will destroy his country if allowed to run unchecked. With time running out for Germany and the rest of Europe, von Stauffenberg joins a group of like-minded, high-ranking men who want to overthrow the Nazi regime from within. With everything he holds dear in the balance, von Stauffenberg becomes the trigger man in a plot to assassinate the evil dictator.

One eye patched tom cruise is a plus. It makes him more intense. Reminds me of Snake Plissken.

So i watched the trailer, and the music their were playing was the "Saw Theme", which was intresting. Cause i love that theme song, its so intense and makes things 10x more intense and intresting. Thats why i watched this film, because that theme song made the movie look really intresting and intense. Which it was. It was suspenseful and thrilling till the end.
