I swear to god, people who find this sort of realism entertaining haven’t left their basements in years.

Realism killed GTA IV for me, and that’s the chief reason it’s the worst in the series for me.

Ok...ok. Lemme go over each of these points and show you why you’re wrong:

I see dozens of these every day.

Er, yeah. We’re still makin’ them.

It is a truth, universally accepted, that the only pilots more crazy than military pilots are bush pilots:

Came for the low-flying heli shenanigans, stayed for the 70s cop show/porn movie sound track.

...not since they eliminated the draught over there...

I trust a German car to be able to turn corners, though.

The difference being, of course, that the Merc is assembled with fine Deutsche craftspeople and precision robots, whereas the Dodge was assemble by Billy-Earl-Bob-Ray Jr. III, using his high-fructose corn syrup-infused forearms and the power of diabeetus:

And one of those EF-111s scored a goddamn air-to-air victory...despite being completely unarmed. They dragged a Mirage F1 down into the gutter, which is EF-111s home turf.

Paint isn’t there to just make it look pretty. It’s not something that’s just done at the factory and forgotten about. It’s there to seal the metal against the corrosive atmosphere and weather, which goes double for maritime aircraft...such as the ones that, oh, I don’t know, might work guarding the coast.

Pffft, would’ve caught the shark first time if they’d used a 70-series Cruiser.

Steve Irwin is the reason he escaped. I wouldn’t trust that fuckwit with a guinea pig.

I know :(.

Plankton is an animal.

Every time I hear “Tech will kill X” I roll my eyes, because:

These things run over small mammals same as dead dinosaur-powered cars, right?

Ah, yep: American Exceptionalism.

Don’t forget Curtis LeMay and “Bomber” Harris, as well.
