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.

Netforce, a United States federal agency, tracks major hacking activities on the internet that point toward major criminal activities.

Definitely a TV-movie. Mediocre, and only moderately interesting. Definitely missing key elements from the also-boring book.

A superspy agency suffers apocalyptic disaster as a precursor to a global hostage act.

A-list actors join to demonstrate their irrelevancy. This is a mildly amusing movie.. but with a lack of comedy and uninteresting action, it’s not recommended.

Dragonborn-twins have drama.

If you like the others in the Dragonheart series, then I suppose this is worth a watch.

Yet another buddy cop movie, but this time instead of <random race> it is an Orc, and instead of </random><random drugs> it’s magic.

An adequate movie.

An alien grows up with super powers.

Bunches of this movie make no sense. It’s cute and dated, but ultimately not great because of moments of terrible writing.

Supergirl is super, and something about the last of the fleet that isn’t the last, and Leia is immortal and shit characters and shit writing.

The earlier movies are mandatory for this. If you thought the earlier movies were shit, then this is the nail in the coffin. Just let the franchise die.

  • Properly titled Star Wars: The Last Jedi

Mayflash PS2 Controller Programmable Convertor

A PlayStation 2 controller macro device.

This is a middleman between a standard PlayStation 2 controller and the console. It can also be chained through to a USB adapter or other such device, to ultimately let an original PS2 controller work with a computer.

Unfortunately, this has an limited number of button presses that it can do! I think it’s 9 or 10.

  • If you want macro functionality and use a PS/2 controller adapter for a PC game, consider AutoHotkey.
