i was watching Total Recall just a little while ago, you know, the movie where arnold schwartzenegger goes to mars but it all could be a dream and stuff (i guess thinking about california and the rovers kinda led me to watch it). for some reason i take special notice of music in games and movies. so it was at the part where Arnold is ascending a service elevator to the little activation chamber of the huge atmosphere reactor thing, when all of the sudden i realize, i've heard this music before. i rewound it a little to double check it and, yep, it sounded just like some of the music from freelancer. it was one of the parts that had to do with the nomads. i think it was the dyson sphere or whatever it was called. but the music must have been an almost blantant ripoff from Bruckheimers score from Total Recall. but it's been a while since i've played freelancer; it's not even installed on this machine (i am a mac convert). so my memory may be a little hazy.

Doesn't your Mac have PC compatibility? One of my friends can use Mac or PC software on his.


p.s. Been a long time since I saw Total Recall. Good flick, though it would have been better if Arnie hadn't had to use the F-word every 5 minutes. It just sounded stupid with his Alpine accent.

yeah microsoft has this emulator type app called vitual PC for mac. i have no experience with it, but i imagine it might run kinda sluggishly on processor intensive stuff like games. but i don't really know.

yeah it was actually the first time i saw the non edited for TV version of Total Recall. there's all sorts of needless violence and stuff in there. i remember when people were having issues with the Matrix. the Matrix doesn't have near as much gore and crap as Total Recall.

I'm surprised you remember the music, but I don't think it's the same. It might sound A LOT the same, but I just don't think it is.

<< there's all sorts of needless violence and stuff in there >>


As I recall, Sharon Stone kicks Arnie in the nuts about every 20 minutes or so in the film. But I thought the gal will three boobs was kind of cute.
