    Altered Carbon review

    fBB5EUTAOlNYFJyJQkF4lNdgoz3 Altered Carbon

    In the twenty-fifth century, humankind has spread throughout the galaxy, monitored by the watchful eye of the U.N. While divisions in race, religion, and class still exist, advances in technology have redefined life itself. Now, assuming one can afford the expensive procedure, a person’s consciousness can be stored in a cortical stack at the base of the brain and easily downloaded into a new body (or “sleeve”) making death nothing more than a minor blip on a screen.Ex-U.N. envoy Takeshi Kovacs has been killed before, but his last death was particularly painful. Dispatched one hundred eighty light-years from home, re-sleeved into a body in Bay City (formerly San Francisco, now with a rusted, dilapidated Golden Gate Bridge), Kovacs is thrown into the dark heart of a shady, far-reaching conspiracy that is vicious even by the standards of a society that treats “existence” as something that can be bought and sold.

    This is the first series I watched from beginning to end in the new 4k resolution. It’s a pretty series and Netflix has a stable enough compression and broadcast system that I have no complaints about the technology itself. The series is amazing as well, with some pretty fun concepts that they use to build their world, taking them to their logical conclusion. There’s several universes out there (lookin at you Star Trek) that have technology in them that would mean the literal end of the universe if used incorrectly (time travel, nanotech, et al) but they never really address it. It’s more window dressing for the story than it is the story itself. Not so much in Altered Carbon, which has just a single new piece of tech that has changed humanity: the ability to spiritually live forever. They explore what this means, how the meaning changes, and how the world changes in relation to the new tech.

    It’s absolutely amazing to watch. There’s some problems, but most of those are the result of needing to tell a visual story due to the medium. I’ve never read the books, but damn if I want to now.

    This is a monthly message to help keep MCS afloat!



    Over the past 10 years, what began as a personal image blog has turned into viable community of many contributors with new posts going up every hour, every day. I’d like to reduce and remove all the advertising on the site, dedicate more time to MCS in general, expand the reach of MCS, and I think the best way to do that is Patreon!

    In order to do this, I’ve created a page at Patreon.

    Check out these awesome benefits available:

    Become a Patreon today, for as low as $2 a month, MCS+ badges kick in at the $5 level, which according to my calculations is 2 bud lights or 1 craft beer.  Do you feel like the entertainment provided on MCS is worth a single craft beer? I do, which is why I sink so much time and effort into the site.

    To those of you that are already Patrons, you have my heart filled bloody thanks.

    Black Panther review

    black panther Black Panther

    T’Challa, after the death of his father, the King of Wakanda, returns home to the isolated, technologically advanced African nation to succeed to the throne and take his rightful place as king.

    By no means is this a bad movie, but it felt more like a DCU movie and an MCU movie. What do I mean by that? Obvious CGI (bad as Green Lantern at times), music that feels more like a concept pop album (just like Suicide Squad, but with music you’ve never heard of!) and a plot that was really all over the place but didn’t really seem to go anywhere. There was no real connection to the MCU, for better or worse.

    The only thing that saved this movie was the actresses and the exceptional Afro Futurism. Chadwick Boseman seemed to be barely there, both mentally and physically. There were times that he looked down right ill. Michael B Jordon was great to look at, but the character of Kill Monger was a weak one with weak motivations and there’s only so much that an actor can do with such a limitations. The ladies on the other hand had great characters and they did a whole lot with what they were given. Lupita Nyong and Danai Gurira were absolutely fantastic as the two main supporting actresses. I’d love to see a movie with just the two of them kicking ass at illegal casinos.

    The after credit scenes were completely skippable, but don’t skip them, you’ll want to be able to comment on exactly how skippable and predictable they ended up being.

    From Dust game review

    41RWI5YEWlL From Dust

    Discover a unique Modern God game where nature is the star: From Dust , the latest original concept by Eric Chahi, visionary creator of Another World.

    I highly suggest playing this either on a top notch PC or a console, it runs like utter trash on anything less than the machine it was specifically designed for.

    In this game, you’re controlling matter (water, dirt, lava, plants) to create a path around a premade area to get Humanity from their little village to their next little village. It was a fun diversion that I started started a couple years ago and lost track of, only getting back to it when I got back to my gaming to-do list that I made around that same time. I actually just looked it up, I bought this on Dec 24, 2011 and spent an insane $7.24 and it took me 6 and a half years to get around to finishing it, with only 9.2 hrs on record of me playing it. Happy to have it off my backlog though.  Also, Humanity is truly f’d right in the A if I’m their god.

    All that being said, it was a fun little game that played well on my modern computer. I remember back in ’11 it wouldn’t play very well at all on any of my machines, perhaps that’s why it’s been on the back burner for so long?
