What is it?

The 1997 computer game Damage Incorporated.

What is it about?

This is how Paranoid Productions describe this computer game:

Damage Incorporated is a 3D action strategy game for Macintosh and Windows ’95 in which you command a team of four marines while trying to keep yourself alive at the same time.

Set in present day, some unknown organization has been funding, arming, and training various militant fringe groups around the United States.

It is your team’s mission to uncover information on the sinister workings at hand, secure the safety of civilians caught in the crossfire, and neutralize with extreme prejudice whatever opposition comes your way.

Developed by Paranoid Productions, powered by Bungie’s Marathon 2 engine, and published by WizardWorks (for Windows) and MacSoft (for Macintosh), Damage Incorporated presents a 3D action experience unlike any other.

Check out the Demonstration Version and see why Inside Mac Games said in a July, 1997 review that “Damage Incorporated uses the Marathon 2 engine to create a unique and challenging new game that infuses new blood into the tired first person shooter genre.

If you like Marathon, Close Combat or Warcraft you’ll dig this game.

What are you waiting for Marine?!!!”

(For other effusive praise check out the Press Ravings page.)

What do you like about it and what would other people like about it?

I can not remember if I got to finish this video game years ago, but I liked how it was a cheap squad-based shooter that I had never heard of before that required a bit more strategy than I had expected and it was better than you would think.

Final Thoughts

I had forgotten what the name of this video game was, and so I had to look it up.

I think that I bought this video game at a Walmart many years ago in the discount PC games section, and I remember being surprised (shocked) by this video game’s crazy and graphic content and that it was better than I thought that it would be; and maybe me and some of my cousins would try to see who could get the furthest in this game even though we probably should not have been playing it.

Bastille Day (The Take)

Source: IMDb

What is it?

The 2016 action film Bastille Day that was renamed to The Take in North America and was directed by James Watkins and stars Idris Elba and Kelly Reilly and Richard Madden.

What is it about?

This is how the Rotten Tomatoes describes this film:

Michael Mason is an American pickpocket living in Paris who finds himself hunted by the CIA when he steals a bag that contains more than just a wallet.

Sean Briar, the field agent on the case, soon realizes that Michael is just a pawn in a much bigger game and is also his best asset to uncover a large-scale conspiracy.

Going against commands, Briar recruits Michael to use his expert pickpocketing skills to help quickly track down the source of the corruption.

As a 24-hour thrill ride ensues, the unlikely duo discover they are both targets and must rely upon each other in order to take down a common enemy.

What do I like about it?

Last year my brother GC and I watched this film on a rainy day one day after work, and we had fun watching it and we had some laughs.

This film is a fun little action film, it is not the greatest movie or anything, but we enjoyed watching it more than we had expected.

This film made us laugh at times while still having some action, and it was good to see a film that takes place in France again.

What would someone else like about it?

I think that this is a simple fun and sometimes funny action movie that people can watch together at least once on a rainy day or something.

Final Thoughts

This film was probably not known or seen by many people because of several factors such as the 2016 Nice Attack, which caused this film to be delayed in some places and not shown in other places and advertising for this film was removed in some (many) places, and so this film suffered greatly from that terrorist attack unfortunately.

Aquamarine Blue & The Men In Grey?

I slept through most of my dreams last night and I woke up a bit late, and so now I can only barely remember part of the end of my last dream.

The end of the dream took place during the day in a fictional place at a one-story house/building that was being changed from a film set that had been used by a BBC or BBC-like TV show like Being Human to a government office/building for what seemed to be a counter terrorism / counter intelligence / counter supernatural / counter superpowers /et cetera government agency similar to the Men In Grey / Department Of Domestic Defense from the BBC TV show Being Human.
