I was walking back from the bathroom in my home at like 3am one night. It was pitch black. I kicked a small container of toothpicks that had been sitting on the floor and stumbled. One of the toothpicks flipped out of the container and landed straight up just as my foot, and full weight, came down right on top of it. I ended up with the wooden pick sticking straight out of the bottom of my bare foot. They were standard ~2 inch picks, and it was probably buried about 3/4ths the way in. It looked exactly like what this guy had, but it went straight into the tissue of my foot, rather than glancing along side.
My partner drove me to the emergency room right away, and to this day I still feel the elation at learning it hadn't splintered or snapped off in the foot, and they were able to extract it pretty much in the same way he did. I got bonus tetanus shots for being such a good patient.

I've been there. It's a pretty cool place and it has a spaceship in the middle of the town (they filmed Pitch Black there).

Just outside it is an area called Moon Plain, and it is the most awesome alien looking landscape you've ever seen.

On PITCH BLACK the birds did this with people

meh, the guy is overly angry, but a few of the hits were bound to happen (the heaviest one she's basically stopped dead on the track on a particularly fast section), the girl's not entirely at fault. whoever was leading that group though is an idiot.

It looks bad on the first run through, but after a few more it's not like the guy didn't repeatedly try to give them a head start.

when i was a kid i hit some other kid square in the back in a pitch black section of a water flume (it really was pitch black and it's not like you can stop). He was going so slow the life guards thought they missed him finish the ride. - At the bottom his parents were mad at me like it was my fault, so i can symperthses with the guy a little, some of those hits even slamming the brake on you wouldn't think someone would stop there like that - as its totally unsafe.

that said - he should have backed off once he knew he had a pussy ahead of him, he did after all have a brake.

Hah. I thought Chronicles was, at the time, pretty much the worst movie I'd ever seen.

Never seen Pitch Black though.

I have Chronicles on DVD and I still break it out and watch it occasionally. Funny ppl say pitch black was better, it had no re-watch value to me at all.

"Chronicles" was kinda crap, but Pitch Black was excellent and this looks like a return to form.

Nah, the Doom 3 palette was pitch black interspersed with the glowing eyes of demons, whose closets you have just foolishly stumbled over.
That demo (if you could really call it that) was very purdy but several things occurred to me while I was watching it. When our futuristic ninja gets busted I couldn't help but think, "Yep, I hate it when that happens" there's always one nosy douchebag who has to ruin an otherwise perfectly good infiltration.
In the future, shutting down an assembly line won't just stop the line but also blow up at least half of it, if only Henry Ford had thought of this, who knows where we would be today.
As good as this looks by the time a significant portion of the population has the hardware necessary to run this in real time we will all have moved on to Unreal Engine version 6. So none of this is especially practical for gaming purposes, it makes me wonder if they aren't trying to market this to film makers as well.

He probably also had cybernetic eyes to see in the tunnel.

Had me until he accelerated with his hand off the throttle!

And went into a pitch black tunnel with no headlight. Little things like that take me out of this. Foliage in the high rises was major overkill,(full trees? Seriously?) the chaser plane and even the seeker missiles it dropped had apocalyptic rust on them...

You guys didn't get that he was some kind of cyborg that controlled technology with his hands? And yes, given enough time, trees will grow anywhere.
I would be more skeptical of a skinny hipster surviving the apocalypse, along with his own suicidal style of motorcycle riding.



Exactly. Or he simply could see because of the bright light of the drones!

The real funny thing was, that his bike had perfect traction on a road with decades of dirt, plants and potholes created by the plants - with tires that seemed to be at least 40 years old.

I thought the same thing then I realized he knew his opponent so well (the missles) that he knew they would provided enough light for him to navigate by that's why he waits till he can see the light at the end of the tunnel to destroy them.

I remember going to the "terror sites" was actually terrifying, when you were disembarking the skyranger(?) in the dark and throwing out flares only to spot a variety of aliens you hadnt encountered before, all waiting to slaughter your team int heir first turn
First had UFO for the Amiga 1200, it was a disc swapping extravaganza! Go make a cup of tea while the computer took its turn.
When I was buying UFO:Enemy Unknown for the PC in 1995 I think, a man in his 40's came up to me, I was like 18, and he said laughing "NO! Dont buy it! It will take over your life! You'll do nothing but play UFO".
He was right ">


The map shown is a well-lit gas station. Take a look out to the sides, I bet they have some pitch-black maps too.
