I restarted the game for the first time since 2014 and I can confirm it feels extra satisfying nowadays. Not just because of the upcoming sequel, and not just because it’s a great game, full stop. It’s also because of the pervasive political climate here in the US, where we are seeing some of the same bad old ideas…

I played the entire game as a stealth shooter and had a blast with that playstyle. I would completely love to go back and do a playthrough as the old-school BJ Blazkowicz from a time when there was no such thing as a stealth game.

It’s also a good time to play it for the first time, if you haven’t.

I loved that the game basically frowned against cover based shooting. Like if you weren’t running and gunning around the map you’d tended to die a lot more often. Also by far, the Submarine level was my favorite.

I think the best thing about this game is that it was TOUGH. Like Doom the game made you work to beat the levels. Its a great feeling fighting off 3 of those walking nazi tank guys with only a sliver of health left

She’s been trying. I have to admit I stopped looking forward to it when she went simpering around the Donald, doing that “I hope he doesn’t act like the absolute incompetent bigoted *sshole we know he is in public, and just lets Yertle McConnell get away with the bigotry and looting the national treasury quietly”…

People I know with PhDs don’t even toss that phrase around.

It’s not especially strong or brave to flee from rape charges and hole up until the case is dropped. A more conventionally brave approach might be to stand trial in an attempt to prove your innocence. Running and hiding seems like something other than brave.

We’re past the tipping point people. All we can hope to do now it mitigate the damage.

Don’t worry, Trump will shut down all the ice monitoring programs so we don’t have to get any of these annoying facts anymore.

You might be thinking of fire as it is depicted in movies, where it lingers conveniently behind the hero and doesn’t get between them and their exit.

Real fire is completely unpredictable. It can be anywhere, and change direction as quickly as the next gust of wind. On some roads, all it takes is one car to be…

A raging wildfire moves fast. Heat and smoke will incapacitate you.

And now the lack of concern about the safety regulations makes sense. :(

Just going to leave this here:

Horrible. Making matters worse Grenfell Tower is publicly subsidized housing that prioritizes low-income and disabled residents.

Also on NPR this morning they interviewed a man who said he lived in another building controlled by the same group - he’s asked them many times to replace his fire detector and they haven’t.

The girl in the beginning of the video is a tribute to the lady from Battle Royale.

Awesome, one more useless gun to avoid. All I need in my life is a SCAR-L and a 4x scope.

The cocaine addiction didn’t do Harry Potter any favors, it seems.

Everything’s a good idea when you’re running out of ideas
