Aliens drop by Earth and evil Humans shoot them down and mug them.

Nothing about the interface makes enough sense, and there are no hints as to how things work. It could have been made much better, even back in the day. I’m not going to forgive how bad it is, especially since there was zero effort by Steam to actually fix basic things like aspect ratio.

TODO – There is another, XCOM:Enemy Unknown but it appears to be a remake/something and with DLC content:

Some annoying people are at a resort.

Features people, who are annoying. This makes a show which is annoying, and boring as fuck. I got two episodes in before throwing my hands up in disgust.

In a world without dads, children have no dads and act like they have no dads, causing everyone to be dismayed and blame guns.

This is an extremely feminine movie from many angles. It misses a few excellent opportunities to explore masculinity, such as the coping mechanisms the males with speaking roles vaguely display. Overall this appeals to everyone or you’re sexist.

A set of music videos put to classical music.

I can understand why this would be interesting at the time, but it’s as slow and bland as it’s music.

“Trailer”
- Various other clips exist, and most are not interesting since most of the movie is not.

A bad dad and some shitty kids run away when aliens come down and up and stomp around.

While it’s a great ride, it’s ultimately unsatisfying and can’t be recommended.

After clearing a map, I can’t open the cage to rescue the barbarian; these people didn’t fucking play their own game.

I got it free from Epic, and it was worth every penny; how garbage.

A veteran mercenary is double-crossed and finds himself blacklisted into becoming a general in hell’s army.

This is a very high low-budget movie. It’s over-the-top, corny but only almost-fun. Some of the effects are amazing, but some are so damned bad I can’t imagine how they thought this could be anything more than a middling success. From a writing perspective, it’s not bad moment-to-moment, but the overall plot is a bit stupid.

This has nothing going for it but the incredible acting of a clown.

The default file manager for macOS.

It’s a combination of great and terrible.

That’s nice. The operating system itself is garbage, and the applications are junk. The interface is complicated and clumsy and slow. This, in comparison with Winblows, is pretty bad.

Much of this page is very dated. For more recent stuff, see macOS
