No. This was plenty. Thank you. The NMS community seems pretty great just from reading everyones responses here.
So good to hear. Love single player offline games.
Awesome 👍
This is amazing info thank you!
I think I'm finally going to buy this game. It's still single player right? I don't have to rely on other players to complete missions?

Thanks for your comment. I feel like I'm on a island when I say the first was the only good one. Sure two had a few moments but the series is straight laughable. I was such a fan of the first one because of the fact the bullets ran out. I kept saying, "Why hasn't anyone made a movie like die hard where people get tired and every bullet is counted? The protagonist picks up the guns of the villains, etc." It's still over the top but it was really nice to see something like that and then they completely took everything I liked and reversed it. Long coreographed fight scenes bulletproof suits, cringe dialogue, traveling to different locations because it would "look cool" if there are mirrors, neon lights and smoke. I don't get the love.
So a bunch of AI animation movies based on popular franchises next year?
The first one was OK. I had fun with the animation style and music, voice acting, etc. but I don't really understand the exercise here? People should just read the comic it would barely take as long and there is so much more information and context. Still so much better than the DC live action movies.
Is Denis Villeneuve not known? He is the most respected sc-fi director since 2016. Right? Maybe I'm in my own bubble here.
Vanilla ice in Cool as Ice...Am I suppose to like this guy? He seems like a complete jerk. Sly Stallone in Cobra is hilariously over the top trying to be cool. Joe Piscopo in Dead Heat. Diceman in The adventures of Ford fairlane. Love some Chuck Norris/ Steven Segal movies but they often make the characters less cool. Hallie Berry in a lot of movies: X-men as Storm (who is a f.ing goddess and awesome character!) Catwoman, John wick 3, die another day, etc. George Clooney in From Dusk till dawn. Cage in Drive Angry. Too many Video game / comic book movies to mention.

Tom Waits continues his transition that was started in Swordfishtrombones with his 9th outing Rain Dogs in 1985. Some call it his best work and a pivotal move from the singer songwriter’s previous material before he leans into the cathartic carnival barker of bone machine and beyond. A loose concept album about "the urban dispossessed" of New York City, Rain Dogs is generally considered the middle album of a trilogy that includes Swordfishtrombones and Franks Wild Years.

The Jesus and Mary Chain’s debut album, Psychocandy, is considered to be one of the most influential albums of all time. Released in 1985, the album helped to define the shoegaze genre, characterized by its use of distorted guitars, feedback, and lush melodies. Surprisingly Psychocandy was a critical and commercial success upon its release. It reached number 31 on the UK Albums Chart and was certified Gold by the BPI. It is now considered to be one of the most important albums of the 1980s alternative rock / noise rock / indie rock scene.
Psychonauts was always one of those games I was meaning to play ever since it came out. I've played most of the double fine titles but I started it and it didn't instantly click so I put it down and never got back to it. The second one came out and I thought alright time to go for it. Wow! What a debut from double fine! Clever and fun mechanics, well defined characters, engaging story and actually laugh out loud moments! If you have kids the game dialogue is snappy like a Pixar movie. I made it to the tower and just can't wait to see what happens next. There are a few small things like camera angles or controls that can be a little frustrating after all it's almost a 20 year old game but if do yourself a favor and grab it for $2 on steam or Xbox store right now if you think you might like it. I've already got #2 in the queue.

Strange Cargo 3 is the third album in William Orbit's Strange Cargo series. It was released in 1992 and features a mix of electronica, ambient, and world music. The album was a critical and commercial success, reaching number 12 in the UK charts.
The album's title is a reference to the cargo cult phenomenon, which is a belief that by imitating the actions of technologically advanced cultures, one can achieve similar results. Orbit has said that he was inspired by the cargo cult phenomenon, and he wanted to create an album that was a "cargo cult of electronica."
The album features a variety of guest musicians, including Beth Orton, Divine Bashim, and Jah Wobble. The album also features a number of unusual instruments, such as the theremin, the sitar, and the kora.

Hounds of Love is the fifth studio album by English singer-songwriter Kate Bush, released on 16 September 1985 by EMI Records. It was a commercial success and marked a return to the public eye for Bush after the relatively low sales of her previous album, 1982's The Dreaming. The album's lead single, "Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God)", became one of Bush's biggest hits, reaching number 3 in the UK upon release and later giving Bush her second number 1 UK single in June 2022. The album's first side produced three further singles, "Cloudbusting", "Hounds of Love", and "The Big Sky".
The album was a critical and commercial success, and is considered one of Bush's best albums. It has been praised for its innovative production, Bush's vocal performances, and its exploration of themes such as love, loss, and the natural world. In 2011, Hounds of Love was ranked number 22 on Q magazine's list of the "50 Best Albums of the 1980s". In 2012, it was voted number 28 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time".
The album is divided into two halves: the first side, "Hounds of Love", is a rock-oriented concept album about a woman who escapes from her suburban life and embarks on a journey of self-discovery. The second side, "The Ninth Wave", is a more atmospheric and experimental piece that tells the story of a woman who is shipwrecked and stranded at sea.
Hounds of Love is a highly ambitious and eclectic album that showcases Bush's wide range of musical and artistic talents. It is a landmark album in her career and one of the most important albums of the 1980s.
