As long as you look her directly in the eyes and confidently state:

"We'll bang, okay?"

Seriously, Ubisoft.

ONE MORE ALARM AND LAMBERT'S PULLING THE PLUG ON THIS MISSION!!

Wow those waves are GORGEOUS for N64 graphics. Dang! I remember I loved Blue Storm on the GameCube. I spent a while just moving that little bubble around the main menu hahaha. It's still gorgeous!

Is it possible the display controller was broken? N64 joysticks weren't the most resilient and hoo boy did kids abuse those demo setups 😂

That's actually a really cool thing we won't see anymore: I remember those demo stands everywhere. Target, Best Buy, Toys R Us, whatever.

It was kinda cool walking up and just trying something... in my experience for like, 30 seconds before Mom was like "C'mon we have to go." and I'd be hoping we passed by it again before trudging down the paper towel aisle or something... 😂

I'm still mad that Microsoft is deciding to just brick WMR devices. It's such a scum move. They should require unlocking and open-sourcing the firmware at that point.

"But muh companee seecrets :(" Clearly you're done with them, M$ / HP / Samsung / Asus and friends!

I'm happy Monado is a thing but right now it just feels like a very big "if" for these devices, and I refuse to give facebook any money for any reason.

At least there's hope with possibly lightly used Vive kits or something? Idk...

That was the "kismet" config right? I remember you could still aim and shoot with the second controller during cutscenes...so it was possible to kill Bond or other characters during the short scene after beating a mission. 😂

Hey I didn't know that! Cool! :)

Kinda funny seeing that "Bleeding Cowboys" font on the back, on a commercial product out in the wild. Maybe it just looks similar haha.

I agree, because I really like their color scheme and logo. =\

'Merican here. Y'know (responsibly kept) guns can be a neat unique part of American life, but as dirty and carcinogenic and freaking LOUD as they are, I think I'd rather just get good with a bow, sling, axes, that sorta thing anyway these days. All the fun of hitting a thing with another thing from far away, but without the tinnitus, lead exposure, and expense.

Especially if I could go to a place where crime rates are lower, work/life balance was tilted toward the "life" end, I could walk or bike places, there are trains, accessible education, less fascist subcultures, and maybe if seeing a doctor wasn't a financial catastrophe even with insurance...

I know everywhere has pros and cons but... Sheesh, between guns and all that?

"CLUNK. Here's all my hole-punchers, when's the next plane?" LOL

Tons of people come to Germany and are shocked when not everyone speaks English.

It's funny, I more often seem to read so many stories of people saying "Finally, I can practice my German with someone!"

And the German is like "I speak English it's okay." Lol

Haha so I'm only familiar with WKUK by title, so I'll have to check it out. :p

what people do when burdened by unwanted knowledge,

I like this point a lot. A friend of mine once told me something like: horror as a genre is easily defined as "What happens to those who look?"

I loved that quote.

Forbidden knowledge is so scary. It's like reading spoilers. Just a glance, and it's in your mind. It's a part of you. How do you cope? You can't just drop it like some cursed object or outrun it like some monster.

We want to know lots of things, I know I always love to learn...but the scariest things are those you don't want to know... But how can you know what these are? You don't know what you don't know yet...

Pardon my ramble. Midnight contemplative brain kicked in. 😂

... Yeah I need to watch Pandorum again haha. Introduce some new people to it. :D
