But aren't guns also banned in the UK? Do you all just never open letters? Like, you still get them in the mail but you have to just pile them up in your home forever wondering what contents is in there.

Nah lots of people have guns. Farmers. Farmers' mums. Etc.

Like, ok, yeah, Ultros is fine, but I still think it'd have been much cooler if they built Gilgamesh to hold the knives instead.

I enjoyed it. I liked the message at the end that the characters realized that over consumption of media and capitalism is toxic and bad. All the world of Oasis did was make everyone miserable and have a toxic view of reality.

I mean, if it's like the book, there's a big *"now that we, personally, are rich and not materially inconvenienced by the state of the world or personal circumstances" appended there

That didn't make it in, the characters realized the importance of Oasis still on society, but used their wealth to make sure it betters the lives of everyone.

The RPO movie was better than the book, but it's more like choosing whether you want a stick in your eye or a stick in your eye that is also on fire.
In good video game news, The Liar Princess and The Blind Prince is very cute and comfortable. I'm looking forward to actually finishing it after I replace the bluetooth unit in my ps4 that decided to fail a couple hours into the game.

I receive too much goddamn mail. On an average week:

Fill up a bag with non-perishables and leave it on your doorstep so the neighborhood cats can claw at it
HOA bill where the address is a casino in Las Vegas
Bank statement even though I've specified "go paperless"
"We checked public records and noticed your house went up in value, we'll give you $5 cash NOW"
Recall notice for car I haven't owned in 5 years
Taxes

I dunno. Blood Stone is also fun, even if Craig's performance can only be charitably described as deliberately trying to ruin the project

I don't really see Bond games outside of GoldenEye getting love or even being remembered.

Hell, even GoldenEye is like THE poster child for games from that era that were the best at the time but don't hold up that well.

This just reminded me that Matt Damon wouldn't allow his likeness to be used in that Bourne game they made because he thought it would be way more suited as an adventure game.

It reminded me a lot of Timesplitters at the time and had very fun multiplayer because of the customization options which is really what I remember it for.

Really liked this one too but its probably not an actually good game
