I absolutely loved the modern day story. I was so very invested and it still smarts a bit that they lost interest in doing it justice.

Has there ever been a case where tax cuts genuinely helped a country/state/whatever's economy?

I'm starting to suspect that this is why I don't watch as many films as I'd like to. They've all become such a time commitment. Show me what you can do with an hour and a half!

No, they're not.

Ye gods, 18 years, 4 months for mine. You'd hope that they'd just automatically stop asking if I'm old enough to view store pages, right?

I'm tickled that the code hasn't been digitised and the scans are only just barely high enough resolution to make out the text.

I remember it dawning on me and making me grin. "Is that, oh it so is!"

I played through 1 - 4 and honestly, I think 4 was the only one that was actively good. The others might once have been fun, but they didn't really hold up. However I had a great time with 4. I particularly liked the epilogue.

Ye gods, that's bloody hideous. Throw a CRT filter over that, at the very least!

From what I've read, the concept of appeasement was buying time because Britain was in no position to do anything, which ultimately worked (I'm reminded of the quote "Diplomacy is the art of saying 'Nice doggie' until you can find a rock.").

However it doesn't work if you're not planning to do anything!

I'm not sure if this is controversial or not - but I (mostly) don't like games that are primarily set underground.

There are a few exceptions to this, Dungeon Keeper and The Binding of Isaac spring to mind, but mostly I find it actively discouraging. Perhaps it's a desire to explore under the sky, perhaps it's that it feels claustrophobic, or perhaps it's the gloom.

I don't have a problem with the dark or claustrophobia in the real world, so it's not that. Anything that involves dungeon crawling immediately puts me off. I don't want to go down into the dark! I want to be outside!

I wasn't a fan of the Metro series until Exodus, I bounced off Recettear as soon as the dungeon element was introduced. Anything that wants me to spend an extended period underground with monsters is just a massive turn-off for me. Sewer levels and the like also have this, to a lesser extent.

Anyone else have this specific dislike?
