yeah, he's still posting about how he votes for Republicans because he loves his guns, but agrees with Obama on every single other issue.

it's fun but really spiteful, since the enemies are actually competent and everyone has poo poo hitrates

at least hard mode throws you really strong recruitable enemies to help you get through it

Basically the guy claimed that he had some beef with the people he murdered about parking and snapped. No, seriously. On the other hand, on his social media he has a lot of pretty strong New Atheist stuff and some posts about guns.

I like it because it takes vanilla civ5 (+g&k and BNW) and just amps poo poo up so that every nation is fun and unique to play. For example I love what they did with the Roman faction--on top of Augustus giving youthat nifty +25% to any buildings you've built in rome, you can also build triumphal arches (the replacement UB for rome--it replaces the monument) in your cities that give you a little Golden Age points every time you kill some dudes. It's a small way to make Rome feel and play like, you know, Rome.

Use a flashcart like a real man.

Then load up a bunch of romhacks onto your flashcart and play them like real Fire Emblem games with no savestates. You haven't lived until you've beaten Hard Mode Ch 11 in FE6 without savestates.

wrong, but go ahead and elaborate so i can know how hard to rofl

the gunplay was fun, the graphics were good, and the health/companion mechanics were interesting if poorly utilized

the checkpoint/road network thing was crap. respawn rates were dumb and they didn't add anything to the game except as areas you could go to start a fight if you wanted to for some reason

the plot/factions/charaters were awful. both sides of the revolution were exactly the same. there was no message or moral or anything, to the extent that the african setting meant anything it was just somewhat unique and controversial but ultimately said nothing. it reads like a shelterd gamer's first exposure to postcolonialism

Either FE7, FE8, FE9, or Awakening. All are fun in their own ways.

Awakening is the most modern game, but playing it first and then going back to the GBA games makes it feel like a bunch of stuff is missing.

Oh no, just restart the chapter if one of your units (or the guys you're rescuing) gets killed. This is harder than is sounds though, since you're relying on a couple RNG rolls to not kill Echidna before you can rescue her. And to not accidentally kill the two recruitable enemies before you can recruit them.
