    I wouldn't be so sure that's Arya leaping from a building. It could be Yarra Greyjoy.

    Totally. In fact, I could see her procession home being waylaid.

    I own the Bond 50 blu-ray set, so I've been able to dive into some of the background details, and yeah, the Moore era had some amazing stunts. No CGI to cheat with back then (although they did use what I'm certain was either a backdrop or CSO for some shots).

    My favorite riff: "People walking…people talking…a man selling heroin…" (sung to the tune of Saturday in the Park)

    You mean Joe Don Baker, a.k.a. My My My My Mitchell.

    And yet, I find Dalton's first film to be one of my absolute favorites in the Bond series. And his second film definitely took a darker tone to it. Far closer to what you'd see in the novels (albeit with a few gadgets and some funny bits).

    What's interesting to me is that Moore's tenure had two admittedly completely bonkers films in The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker. But they were bonkers in that Guy Hamilton "Now let's have the army of good guys assault the bad guy base" mold.

    The least goofy Roger Moore Bond film isn't The Spy Who Loved Me (which is basically a rehashing of You Only Live Twice), but rather For Your Eyes Only. The Spy Who Loved me only seems like it isn't goofy because it was bracketed by the two goofiest Moore films: The Man With the Golden Gun and the execrable Moonraker

    With Dr. Steve Brule?

    The Franklin Parkway would actually make for a pretty good CTF map, or some kind of "attack/defend" map where one side advances towards the museum, and the other side is trying to defend it. Kinda like "Walker Assault" in Battlefront or the MCOM mode in Battlefield games.

    Big McLargehuge!

    I live in, and was born and raised in Philadelphia. The sole reason I want to play this game is to see just how accurately they handled the map. Like, can I go to the bombed-out ruins of Pat's and Geno's? Is the Art Museum some base of operations for the enemy? Can I race down East River Drive or I-76 while

    I kinda suck at multiplayer lately. I've been out of it for way too long and my reflexes ain't what they used to be when I was in college (and had a T1 connection…). Battlefront is mostly manageable for me for multiplayer, but that's about all I play. I might eventually check out Destiny, but I'm also kinda turned

    Ha, fun stuff. I haven't tried Destiny, because I heard…mixed things about it. Plus, right now, I have plenty of stuff to play on Xbox1, consisting of Sunset Overdrive, Star Wars Battlefront, and Halo: Master Chief edition.

    My favorite memory from Duke3D was when my friend and I discovered that rockets go through teleporters. I was chasing him around on one of the levels, and he ran through a teleporter into a dead-end hall. I'd fired at him just before he did. He had just enough time to turn around and see a rocket streaking right

    Spoken like a guy who gets away with it.

    Too soon.

    What about a mediocre inmate with a shiv?

    Rickon was great in The Deer Hunter. Such a shame about the cancer, though.

    I tended to like…well, the ideaof graphical text adventures. I was so young, though (around 9 or so) that I really just wasn't that good at them. And I didn't have the patience to solve the text parser aspects, either. Some day, I'll go back and beat Crimson Crown, the Hobbit, and Ring Quest.
