Roaming Revolvers

If you know anything about me and my design habits, you’ll know I love revolvers. They just look cool as shit, okay? So a decision I made early on was that Frameshift was a world where the revolver is queen. Magazine-fed guns, and all other alternatives, are rare enough to not even consider seriously.

Naturally, given that Frameshift is almost always about Frames, revolvers on the human scale are less likely to show up in any meaningful capacity in the main story. But they’re so fun to design, omg.

... Even if they get a little cursed sometimes. Revolvers represent a notable deviation of Hellenan philosophy from ours - a mindset of honourable warfare. Without an equivalent world war to jump start major military invention, the need for high firerate, high capacity firearms has never been the priority. Instead, the power of an individual round is almost revered. One might say that to fight like a Hellenan, you wish to end your enemy swiftly, directly, and rightly. Even Frames use revolvers. With limited exceptions, most ranged Frame firearms fall into this category - Aim With My Heart being a noted example with it’s massive twin 12-shooters. It will be interesting to see, however, if this concept of honourable, knightly warfare will survive the current military climate. The Free States War changed everything with the blood it spilt, and now things may only escalate...

Puppet Master 5: The Final Chapter

So that subtitle? Yeah, after this one there are six more official films, a "non-canon" crossover (which I'm seriously considering seeking out to find out if it's really that bad compared to the rest), a reboot, and some spin-offs after this. It's as much a "Final Chapter" as when Friday the 13th tried that. I get the sense it happened more because none of Full Moon's other franchises or properties really became the same sort of cash cow as this. This is a continuation of the story of the last film, Sutekh trying to get his mojo magic back... and by continuation, I don't just mean as a sequel, I mean that due to the way it's all set up, it's pretty much the second half of the story. This is something I was alluding to last time; I reckon that when they did the back-to-back filming of IV and V, it was because they weren't sure if this story was going to be two movies or one. I reckon it was all set up so that, if they wanted to, they could either do two separate releases or edit it all into one.

Obviously, they went with two films, and I'm gonna be honest, I get why, double the rentals, but I think they made the wrong choice. This really is just a pointless runaround, an exercise in padding so egregious, even Jon Pertwee-era Doctor Who six-parters are looking at it in scorn. There's a lot of retread of having to reactivate Decapitron again, and reiterating stuff to just get this up to an hour and a quarter. This issue gets a lot worse if you are like me and masochistic enough to do a Puppet Master marathon, so you watch IV and this back to back (originally they were released ten months apart), you'll spend a lot of time going "we know!". Oh, and it also creates weird continuity things (par for the course), like Torch turning up, begging the question of where the Hell he was last time. Come to think of it, how come Tunneller is back when he got smooshed in 2? Or is this a prequel to the first two... but it can't be because no Leech Woman and Torch was ma- GAH! I need to give up trying to make sense of these things!

Anyhoo, yeah, this one isn't that good, it doesn't really stand on its own, and it's kind of worse put next to 4. If there was an ultimate cut of the two together as one, lean 90 minuter, it would be far more fun. Oh well. I'm going to skip the next film in the series, 1998's Curse of the Puppet Master, as I haven't seen it and don't have much to say, but I will be tackling the one afterwards, as something about it does make it a title of particular interest to lovers of crap film...

I really love how all-in Fallen London goes with the Combat Clergy trope. Like there's so much here. Nuns who know like, jujitsu. Drunken asskicking monks. Sun-cultist navy men. The head of the church being a whole ass pro wrestler. I love it.
