That actually literally happened to my mom. Went months with a front door that wouldn't latch because they refused to repair it after the fact.

Long story short, building got struck by lightning and one of the units caught fire. Everyone evacuated. Billy Badass firefighter than proceeds to kick down my mom's door after she's already evacuated to make sure that the unit was unoccupied and that the fire hadn't spread. Her unit was on the for end of the building from the lightning strike and fire.

I know lots of firefighters, and most of them are authoritarian adrenaline junkies.

And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, 'O Lord, bless this thy hand grenade, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy.' And the Lord did grin. And the people did feast upon the lambs, and sloths, and carp, and anchovies, and orangutans, and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats, and large chulapas...

And the Lord spake, saying, ''First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.'

I just love how this film approaches stereotypes. EVERYONE is an overblown caricature, but they're all caricatures that don't line up with what you expect for their race. Asians are all caricatures of African American urban youth. Most black characters are either Asian-coded or yuppy White-coded. It does a great job of highlighting the absurdity of so many of those stereotypes.

And it's just a great Kung fu flick.

And I only learned about him in the first place because of Watchmen.

I am ashamed to admit that I still haven't seen these. I need to change that! I keep hearing that the first two are excellent, and the third movie and shorts are really good, too.

Ys 5? No such thing! Hoax!

Hmmm. Maybe I'll give it another go. I only got about two or three hours in before I moved onto other items in the backlog.

Origins. Bayek is easily the most relatable and grounded character, and the story does a great job of setting up the origins of the Assassins. My only gripe is that Aya really needed more development and a game of her own.

Its odd, because I played the crap out of VIII, but hardly got into Monstrum Nox and am not even sure if I'm getting Nordics when it comes out on Switch. I probably will, but I feel like the series peaked with Dana.

I really like the Switch version, but I really got into the series playing this and Memories of Celceta. I kinda wish I still had the Vita, as I'm pretty sure it's the only system with every game from 1-8 on it.

Bah. I'm from New Hampshire, where it was all called Tonic. Unless it was Moxie.
