According to his bio, a country where they block the front page but not the forums. I'd like to know too.

My favorite Russian dashcam was the one where that meteor was about to crash and the driver sounded absolutely emotionless about it.

I vote to keep the codex entries in. They're like the lore from Metroid Prime- little things to read that add atmosphere to the game's universe.

Edit: Doom 2016 has all these nice little touches, like the "contact HR if for death and dismemberment insurance!" line that plays on the PA.

The realest problem with Bethesda is that they are still a small studio of a few dozen guys who are trying to produce AAA games.
So in other words, they're the rare mid-sized game developer that's trying to adapt to the big game developer paradigm. It's a shame that the middle has fallen out of video games these days.

In the "let my kids play Doom" sense, you'd be a better parent than both of mine. Gory video games were not on the menu for me as a kid, although for some reason my mom made an exception whenever I wanted to rent a Turok game. Notably, though, I never rented Turok 2, and now that I'm watching an LP of it, I can say that it's the bloodiest game that I've ever seen, even more so than Doom 2016 because it really embellishes the nasty deaths.

As lovely as Doom 2016 seems- it really does remind me of Metroid Prime in a few ways- jumping puzzles and FPS games never mix. This seems like the equivalent of the underwater frigate, except less annoying because you don't have to reactivate any doors, or at least not in such an annoying way as you did in MP.

The Super Shotgun certainly pulled its weight in that encounter that gave you trouble. What an awkward arena to fight a bunch of monsters, especially when you add Summoners to the mix.

Don't like the cacodemon design. Too flaccid, like a three-day-old balloon.
Cacodemons have always looked goofy, with the exception of the Doom 64 design which is legitimately creepy.

It's true that it's easier to learn different languages when you're younger. I'm not sure that's because an adult's mental process is more complicated, but I wouldn't be surprised.

Don't worry, Alexey, it took Psychedelic Eyeball years to pronounce some English words correctly with his thick Quebecois twang. His voice is part of what makes his LPs so distinct and lovable. Embrace your second-language English.

I thought you were just from like... Brooklyn or something?
That's actually not a bad guess! There are a lot of Russians and Russian-speakers in South Brooklyn, to the point where one neighborhood (Sheepshead Bay) has a bunch of glass condos being built so that rich Russians can use them to embezzle money in real estate in a place where they don't have to learn English. Brighton Beach also has a very large Russian population, as do formerly Italian-as-hell Bensonhurst and Gravesend (which also has people from other parts of the former USSR to boot). Then you've got a fair number of Russian-speaking Hasidic and Orthodox Jews in Borough Park, Midwood, and a stretch of parkway that goes down to Coney Island and starts not far from where I live.

I'm a nerd over my own city, can you tell?

Gary Busey has a thing where he turns common words into acronyms, and the UAC abbreviation for "fear" sounds like something he might have come up with.

I've mentioned Metroid Prime as a point of comparison with Doom 2016 before, but I'm about to do it again. I like how both games mock the enemies that you're fighting, sort of like how Mel Brooks portrayed Nazis. In MP1, they play up how stupid and shortsighted the Space Pirates can be in their plans for galactic domination- they mutilate themselves in an attempt to re-create the Morph Ball and their answer to powering up things is "just give it more Phazon." In this game, the UAC is cultish to the point of ridiculousness. When you hear their corporate propaganda and especially when it comes to the levels of employee, it's like you're fighting a Satanic version of Scientology.

It's the little details in this game that make it great.

But the higher-ups in the UAC don't have ridiculously awesome facial hair. They do have more women, though.

Do Russians typically swear a lot, or are they too depressed by life to even do that? They don't even show emotion on those dashboard cam videos where crazy poo poo happens right in front of their eyes.

There aren't enough Berserk power-ups in Doom 2016, and it's a shame because it looks fun as hell to use. Also, I read that the Duma nearly unanimously passed a law legalizing domestic abuse to a certain extent, so that horrific saying seems to have a lot of sway over in Russia.
