To be honest part of what made New Order refreshing was that there wasn't yet another overwrought depiction of alternate reality Americana.

Its going to be turning point: fall of liberty, except not poo poo. Machine games sense of humor just meshes so well with the setting.  God help me, I'm actually looking forward to seeing what their version of the MP40, the second most overused video game gun of all time, looks like.

Geschwindigheitsbegrensung, Grens means border or limit, begrensung is the proper way to parse it in this usage, kind of like limitation in English. Geschwindigheit means velocity. In German and most other germanic languages compound words are written without spaces.

Yeah, German is a language for and by psychopaths. It's no wonder Hitler was born in that most degenerate of nations, Austria.

One is washed about in it, hither and thither, in the most helpless way; and when at last he thinks he has captured a rule which offers firm ground to take a rest on amid the general rage and turmoil of the ten parts of speech, he turns over the page and reads, "Let the pupil make careful note of the following exceptions." He runs his eye down and finds that there are more exceptions to the rule than instances of it.

EDIT. also turning point has one of my biggest pet peeves in games. fps camera imbeded in the characters chest. its why gurrella games and a few other companies do and i hate it. it makes you look like your danny devito or a little person but your arms are attached to your head.

A Buttery Pastry posted:Well, it kinda is true that the Nazis weren't the biggest fans of the KKK, since the KKK was often effectively anti-German because of its anti-catholic (and prohibitionist) stance. Plus the Nazis had a general dislike of the "mongrel" Americans. The KKK are pretty retarded since the Nazis were also anti catholic and were heavily pro protestant due to it's Germanic origins. I think the KKK as much as they would love their racial policy, would likely be resistance fighters since they really loving hated enemies of America (and anti German feelings were really drat strong post WW1 and beyond) and wouldn't like having their gun culture destroyed and their policy being led by dirty foreigners. It would set up a great scene in TNC, the KKK go and offer BJ some sort of alliance and his response is to simply detonate their skulls with his trusted shotgun while claiming that they are simply nazis in dressing gowns or some poo poo. It would be sweet as gently caress.

I can see it going either way. We're also talking about the US being conquered in the 50s here, the Klan wasn't anything like the power it had in the 20s. If the Nazis give them the chance to rise again they'd probably go for it. Anyway who cares, Klansmen are good enemies the same way Nazis are since they deserve the axe you're burying in their skull. Guilt-free murder by the busload.

DoctorStrangelove posted:The KKK would never be able to stand being forced to talk Jerman. I think it would be hilarious that not only has the USA's freedom fighters have capitulated, but their own racist cults have folded as well. Maybe the KKK ran a terrorist campaign against the occupation until they got their asses handed to them by the Atlantic Monitor or something, and then the Nazis brought back the organization as a puppet to get other racist cults to back them.

I think there's newspaper articles about how the other axis powers were screwed over by Germany once the allies were defeated. I know there's one from an Italian newspaper that's all "The Nazis betrayed us! Their troops are moving in, we were fools to trust them!"
