We played burncycle at game day and our first play was rooooughhhh lol Overall, we enjoyed the game and it had some fun mechanics. We did have some challenges with Awareness and Security Movement so we will definitely need some rules clarifications before our next playthrough. #boardgames #games #analoggaming #gamers #gamergirl #blerd #blerdgirl blerdgirls #new #fun #burncycle https://www.instagram.com/p/Cetps9MpE3b/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Philip's CD-i "Burn Cycle" commercial from 1994 - AI Enhanced
Released in 1994, "Burn:Cycle" is one of the most notable titles for the Philips CD-i, a platform that struggled to carve out a niche in the competitive gaming market of the 90s. "Burn:Cycle" is often remembered for its ambitious blend of live-action video sequences, puzzle-solving gameplay, and a cyberpunk narrative that explored themes of consciousness and identity. It was one of the first games to be explicitly marketed as an interactive movie, and it sought to leverage the CD-i's multimedia capabilities to deliver a cinematic gaming experience.
Graphics and Audio
"Burn:Cycle" featured a mix of pre-rendered 3D backgrounds and full-motion video (FMV), a technique that was quite cutting-edge at the time. The pre-rendered scenes provided a visually immersive environment that was richer and more detailed than what most contemporary systems could handle. These graphics helped to establish a convincing cyberpunk world, complete with neon-lit cityscapes and gritty interiors that effectively conveyed the game's dystopian setting.
The integration of FMV into the gameplay was one of the game's major selling points. "Burn:Cycle" used live-action video not just for cutscenes but as an integral part of the gameplay, which was still a novelty. The video quality, by today's standards, might seem grainy and low-resolution, but at the time, it was a significant leap forward in terms of creating an immersive narrative experience in games.
The audio landscape of "Burn:Cycle" is particularly noteworthy. The soundtrack, composed by Simon Boswell, is a blend of electronic and orchestral music that fits perfectly with the game’s futuristic tone. The voice acting and sound effects are generally well-executed, enhancing the overall atmospheric tension and helping to drive the narrative forward.
Gameplay Mechanics
The gameplay of "Burn:Cycle" is primarily focused on puzzle-solving and narrative choices, with some light action elements. Players take on the role of Sol Cutter, a data thief who must navigate through a series of cybernetic puzzles and interactions with other characters to cure himself of a deadly virus that threatens to end his life within two hours—real-time ticking down that adds a sense of urgency to the player's actions.
The interface for interacting with the digital world of "Burn:Cycle" was innovative for its time, utilizing a point-and-click mechanism that allowed players to hack into computer systems, manipulate objects, and make narrative-affecting decisions. This gameplay mechanic anticipated the later popularity of narrative-driven adventure games.
Acting and Narrative
The acting in "Burn:Cycle" is a mixed bag, typical of early FMV games where performance quality varied widely. The lead performance by Vivi Devereaux as Sol Cutter is generally strong, helping to ground the high-concept story with a sense of personality and urgency. However, some secondary performances come off as stiff or over-the-top, reflecting the experimental nature of live-action recording in video games during the early '90s.
The narrative is where "Burn:Cycle" really tries to set itself apart, featuring a complex cyberpunk story that delves into themes of technology, identity, and reality. The story is engaging and well-crafted, with multiple layers of conspiracy and philosophical questioning that are rare for video games of that era.
Innovations and Influence
"Burn:Cycle" was ahead of its time in many ways. Its use of FMV to drive gameplay, not just narrative, was relatively innovative, as was its integration of a real-time countdown mechanic that added urgency to the player's decisions. The game's attempt to blend cinematic storytelling with interactive gameplay elements anticipated the future of video gaming and can be seen as a precursor to later narrative-driven games.
Conclusion
"Burn:Cycle" remains one of the more memorable titles for the Philips CD-i, notable both for its ambitious use of technology and its effort to push the boundaries of narrative in video games. While it may not have been a commercial blockbuster, its innovative approach to game design and storytelling has earned it a cult status among retro gaming enthusiasts. For those interested in the evolution of interactive cinema and narrative-heavy games, "Burn:Cycle" is a fascinating study in early multimedia gaming.

My buddy and I started a podcast where we talk about video games. I know that that’s like every podcast ever made, but it’s still a fun time. Because we’re terrible at naming things it’s called Masters of Interlacing, and since I’m the resident artist I took up the task of designing our mascot. Her name’s Interlace-chan, and she’s great.
We look at Burncycle for our first episode, a nightmare birthed from British 90s rave culture. Check it out! http://www.mastersofinterlacing.com/

Burn Cycle on CD-i. Many nights went to waste on this game when it first came out. Very expensive too.. not many good games were released on cdi. Amazing game, though frustrating at times, mainly due to the horrible controls🎮🎮😐 Finished it! #burncycle #cdi #videogames #cdigames #solcutter

Check Out Some Weird and Fun Wookies in Real-Life Photography
I’ve got a collection of weird, yet fun photos to share with you today from Oregon-based photographer, Mako Miyamoto. The photos feature Wookies in real life and they are certainly strange, especially the masks that have kind of a dopey look to them. These are just a few of the images. The photographer has a lot more on his site.

Day 11 Dec. 30,2019
Took the dogs on a long walk this morning. Felt good to get the blood pumping and spend some time outside. Did a burncycle class at noon and sweat a ton. Been fighting a stomach flu thing for the last few days and it tried to kick in halfway through class. I had to do a lot of deep breathing and calming talk and a lot of saddle riding to get my stomach to chill. Stretched after class and my body is feeling yoga and cycling from the last few days.
I've been trying to set up a schedule for workouts this week between trying new studios on classpass and yoga. It's becoming hard with other responsibilities and going back to work so flipping a schedule. I already had to cancel the class I was going to take tomorrow and I feel lazy and fat. I want to get back into a regular rotation so bad. Hopefully soon. I just want to be stronger.

BurnCycle – Join the Pack
Did you know that BurnCycle is located only 1 block away from Hosmer Chiropractic Health? We are excited to share why we think BurnCycle could be a wonderful complement to the services at Hosmer Chiropractic Health.
Not sure what BurnCycle is or how it could benefit you? First thing’s first — let’s talk about the basics.
The following post is guest-written by Janessa, Studio Manager of BurnCycle.
What is BurnCycle?
A place where the most hardworking, positive people find each other and sweat, inspire and connect! Our signature 45-minute full-body indoor cycling class incorporates drills to target your entire body while using a stationary bike as a vehicle for low impact, high intensity interval training. We ride to the beat with music as our inspiration and trainers who live to motivate. We don’t show off, we just show up. We uplift, we encourage and we transform. We move as a Pack because together we are stronger.
How is BurnCycle different from other spin classes?
Founded in Portland, OR with two additional locations in Seattle, the Burn brand is largely influenced by the work- hard-play-hard Pacific Northwestern mentality. BurnCycle classes are designed to provide a community for riders while pushing limits, breaking comfort zones, and developing a habit of movement to bring positivity back to the ritual of exercise.
Why you should add BurnCycle to your wellness routine?
Both strength and endurance are statistically proven to increase energy levels and overall lifestyle satisfaction. Before I was an instructor, I was a client at BurnCycle and I can 100% say with confidence that my life changed drastically when I started incorporating BurnCycle and High Intensity Interval Training to my routine. Every time I come I am forced to get really present with my body and mind for 45 minutes and show up for myself. A lot of the time we spend our days taking care of other people and it is so special when we are able to disconnect and turn inward to take care of #1 (us!!!). Every time I leave I feel like I actively took responsibility on my future and health and am making an impact on my community.
BurnCycle is offering one free class for Hosmer Chiropractic patients! Just use the code ‘Hosmer’ at checkout to redeem!
