Anker Soundcore Flare 2 Review: An Impressive Portable Speaker
With warm sound, good volume, competitive pricing, and useful extras, Anker’s Soundcore Flare 2 is an impressive midrange portable speaker.
What is lost is the "grindhouse texture." A remastered BluRay can inadvertently sanitize history. The original scratches and color fluctuations that signaled a well-worn print are gone. The experience shifts from "finding a cursed tape in a dusty video store" to "viewing a museum exhibit behind glass." The film’s sleazy, illicit aura is diminished when presented in crisp, clean 720p. The vomit bag seems less necessary when the image is pristine.
: Modern transfers highlight the vivid color schemes where the vibrant attire of the ruling class contrasts sharply with the drab, stone-walled environments of the accused. High-definition clarity reveals significant detail in the period costuming and the rugged Austrian landscapes.
Released in 1970, this film arrived at the tail end of the "mondo" craze and rode the wave of controversy sparked by Witchfinder General . While often marketed alongside pure trash cinema, Mark Of The Devil is remarkably well-acted. Herbert Lom delivers a performance of chilling restraint as the witch hunter Cumberland, providing a grounded gravity that counterbalances the film’s more sensationalist elements. Udo Kier, playing the conflicted apprentice, offers a look of perpetual torment that suits the material perfectly.
: Count Christian von Meruh (played by Udo Kier), a young and idealistic apprentice, begins to question the piousness of his mentor, Lord Cumberland (Herbert Lom). This shift occurs after witnessing the arbitrary and sadistic treatment of townspeople by local officials.
My longtime favourite is Solomon’s Boneyard (see also: Solomon’s Keep!). I’ll have to check out Eternium because it might be similar — you pick a wizard that controls a specific element (magic balls, lightning, fire, ice) and see how long you can last a graveyard shift. I guess it’s kind of a rogue-lite where you earn upgrades within each game but also persistent upgrades, like magic rings and additional unlockable characters (steam, storm, fireballs, balls of lightning, balls of ice, firestorm… awesome combos of the original elements.)
I also used to enjoy Tilt to Live, which I think is offline too.
Donut county is a fun little puzzle game, and Lux Touch is mobile risk that’s played quickly.
Fun
Thank you great list. My job entails hours a day in an area with no internet and with very little to do. Lol hours of bordom, minutes of stress seconds of shear terror !
Some of these are going to be life savers!
I hope these help get you through! 😁
I’ve put hours upon hours into Fallout Shelter. You build a Fallout Shelter and add rooms to it Electric, Water, Food, and if you add a man and woman to a room they will have a baby. The baby will grow up and you can add them to an area to help with the shelter. Outsiders come and attack if you take them out sometimes you can loot the body to get new weapons. There’s a lot more to it but thats kind of sums it up. Thank you for the list I’m down loading some now!
Oh man, I spent so much time on Fallout Shelter a few years ago! Very fun game — thanks for the reminder!
