I didn't realize how accurate that manual was until I started building a new bookcase. Took me a few tries, but I noticed that I didn't have my gun and fiber wire; built it no problem once I fixed that.

I too wish to one day own enough books that only a bookcase the size of a yacht can contain them all.

Pretty sure they were, yeah.

I thought so. I love that they bothered to make (presumably) period appropriate costumes, but not give them guns. It can't be that hard to find some AK-74's lying around.

Well, it certainly challenged that definition.

In that case it seems you don't have anything else on your plate, so it sounds like you don't have anything stopping you from playing Absolution then.

The divergence point for Hitman isn't actually the crazing cloning technology or the massive world spanning assassin organizations, it's the design of toilet bowls.

Thanks to alternate toilet design, many people who would have otherwise died of rear end-herpes went on to make contributions to the science of cloning.

It is pretty great how many things you can interact with simply by shooting them.

It's kind of an adventure game... "Use Gun with _______"

This is a pretty great summation; Hitman 2016 is a Third Person Adventure Shooter. If only it had more creative player deaths too.

Actually, you ARE the creative Sierra style deaths for your targets.

Coming in millions of frustrating flavors like 'Haha, you didn't check the Plague Doctor before using the VHS tape!' and 'Wet Power Strip Out Of loving Nowhere'.

I meant creative deaths for 47 when he screws up.

It seems really baffling that "a cannon went off and just happened to kill the master of the house" is considered an accident.

Who would bother to use an 18th century cannon to commit an assassination? The real question is why usable gun powder is so close to the cannons.

My explanation has always been that the voices we hear are actually in their native languages, we just hear 47s mental translation of them. He gives them all British accents because something something cloning.

47 is a nice guy, and he gives everyone British accents because it makes them sound as smart as he knows they really are.

My beef is this is at least the second one of these illuminati groups the game's had.

These Illuminati groups spend all their time and resources fighting each other instead of creating the New World Order. Just imagine what the Jesuits and Freemasons could do if they teamed up.

at that point, season 2 will hopefully be ready for release or close to it.

I'd be less inclined to buy a game if I'll miss out on limited availability content. Elusive Targets strikes me as nothing more than an evolution of preorder bonuses.

Does 47 have a second bandage on top of his bandage? How many layers will he have by the end?

I do have to say those alternate plot points sound like a goddamn tire fire, especially that one where 47's body was failing him (combined with Victoria and that starts to sound eerily like a loose summary of Logan- all we would have needed was some senile old man in the backseat).

Logan, but all of the main characters are just different series of clones.

What if the next target is Melania Trump, and her extended disappearance from the spotlight is the ultimate viral marketing campaign? I'd have thought they wouldn't do something so risky and tasteless after they fired most of the Absolution crew, but who knows?

Considering he apparently owns an arms manufacturing company, I cant imagine 10 million being anything too special.


Then again its 10 million dollars and his payroll keeps getting smaller and smaller...

I think the bigger issue is drawing attention to himself especially since he's going to just sell Ellen Page's super genes. But 10 million in liquid cash is pretty useful, he might have all his money locked up in assets.

He recently found out one of his ancestors was a British judge, so he's started wearing British judge poo poo.

American judges used to dress like British judges until Thomas Jefferson changed it.
