Steam: Disgaea PC

A tactics game so good it’s worth buying a PlayStation 2 for. It got released on Steam so it’s a game so good it’s worth buying a PC for. :)
- Properly titled Disgaea: Hour of Darkness
- Disgaea guide
- My notes began for the PlayStation 2 version but have been checked and updated for the Steam version.

I used to use a macro with my Mayflash PS2 Controller Programmable Convertor and now use AutoHotkey.

Pseudo-immortality is reached when alien technology allows humans to save their consciousnesses to reusable disks, and a criminal’s disk is brought online from deep storage, for him to investigate the crime against an ancient and powerful man.
Finally, a science fiction show with real depth and darkness. Highly recommended.
I forgot season 1 and so it basically goes to confusing shit in season 2 so I gave up.
- Based on Altered Carbon – (2002 book), by Richard K. Morgan

Archaeologists discover the site they’re working on is surrounded by land owned by their funder, a rich technology company, which is even more interested in it than they.
A riveting book that escalates into a great pace by its middle, and had me turning pages until I finished that latter half in one afternoon. The end chapter is an embarrassingly-bad wrap-up though, which was saddening, but it did not ruin the story.
Highly-recommended. This book has turned me back into a reader.

A quirky and grating writer finds himself pulled into the lives of ordinary people.
A really great, well-rounded, unique movie, especially for guys, as it has a single moment of clarity that will help them understand women.

A centuries-old man is embroiled in a sword-fight between other immortals.
This is one of those movies which forged my young self, but I cannot recommend to others. It definitely feels dated, and I doubt its ideas would be particularly shaping to others compared to the other movies created since this one.

In a sense, you could also see Unbreakable – (2000 movie).
 That borg-eye is never seen.

From a future destroyed by plague, a prisoner “volunteers” to be sent back in time to fetch pre-infection samples.
A great movie that stands apart both from its contemporaries and even from movies of today. It touches upon a lot of topics I find interesting in movies.
- Inspired by La Jetée – (1962 movie), written by Chris Marker
- See also 12 Monkeys – (2015 show)
- TODO – watch with the commentary

TODO – At the end of the making-of is a secret menu and more stuff.
