As a commentary on Edward Snowden or WikiLeaks or some such, a list, that somehow exists, is out in the clear and being hunted by various spies.
It would have made a huge difference had this not been portrayed as a flashback/debriefing. Because of this complete failure in storytelling, there was no sense of risk at all; an important part of a spy movie like this.

production company page
Artificial intelligence is created, but they forgot to send a philosopher, so things go to shit somehow there are survivors.
It borrows from various other things, but doesn’t execute anything very well. It just comes off as being badly written. I should have guessed based on the production company’s amateur-night page.
- The title is a play on the singularity.

An asshole anchorman is sent to a little town to do a fluff story on Groundhog Day, but karma bites him in the ass when the town gets snowed-in.
A fantastic movie not just for the usual things, but for the execution of its idea. Unlike so many movies that have its elements, this one stays grounded and accessible. This movie is well-loved and highly recommended.
- This movie has its title because it’s set on Groundhog Day.

A synthetic bounty hunter of synthetics learns of a plot for synthetic-synthesis. Or something.
Plodding and nervous. Another unnecessary remake.

A girl is digitized, becoming a valuable commodity for people seeking power and immortality.
This might be interesting for fans of science fiction history, but it’s dumb in too many places for me to enjoy it.
If you end up watching this, here are my edited Andromedia subtitles.

A mobile phone NFC device which provides buttons for macros.
It works well enough, but I wouldn’t recommend this. It’s noisy as fuck, and Android 10 has an ugly “Nfc Service” entry cluttering the shader dropdown.

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.

Canon CanoScan LiDE 120
I checked SANE‘s supported devices list, and saw that the LiDE 120 is supported , however the model I received uses a different and Linux-unsupported chipset! (GL848+)
Herein are notes of my misadventure.
