Introduction

In this Q&A session, Senior Editor Peter Rubi talks about the Total Recall reboot, an indie game called Spelunky, and the return of the Hawkeye comic book series.

Total Recall Reboot

Question: Why are we talking about Total Recall again?
Peter Rubi: While I was also skeptical about the reboot, the more footage I saw, the more I appreciated Len Wiseman’s vision for the film. The action sequences are imaginative and the homages to the original are slyly done without copying them wholesale. I’m excited to see it and recommend giving it a shot.

Spelunky Game

Question: Can you tell us about the Spelunky game?
Peter Rubi: Spelunky has been around for a while, but it was recently brought to Xbox Live Arcade where it gained a lot of popularity. Now, it’s available to play in your browser for free. While it’s a fun 8-bit platformer, it’s also seriously difficult – one mistake and it’s game over. But that just makes it more addictive and frustrating, so play at your own risk.

Return of Hawkeye Comic Book Series

Question: What do you think about Hawkeye #1?
Peter Rubi: I’m really excited about the return of the Hawkeye comic book series, especially with Matt Fraction and David Aja at the helm. The first issue focuses on Clint Barton in Brooklyn, dealing with issues close to home. It’s a great way to get a sense of who he is as a character and how he operates without any superpowers. The artwork and writing are top-notch, making it a must-read for any comic book fan.

Conclusion

Peter Rubi has given us his thoughts on the Total Recall reboot, the Spelunky game, and the return of the Hawkeye comic book series. Whether you’re a fan of action films, addictive platformers, or superhero comics, there’s something for everyone in this week’s discussion. Just don’t blame us if you lose productivity for the foreseeable future.
