Saying that Call of Duty as a series never does anything different is silly; the formula stays the same, but the single-player campaign always delivers on its promises. You will shoot sexy guns at people of different ethnicities while everything blows up around you in beautiful places and it will be thrilling. Any deeper meaning, moral lessons, or responsibility to the player are just icing on a blood-soaked cake. Black Ops 2 is going to sell millions upon millions of copies and take its place as one of the major pop culture releases of the year. And what is this piece of culture about? A victim of our excess coming back from the grave to destroy the country. These are now our fantasies, and they feel great.

First read Wikipedia on Pont du Gard, the “Literary Visitors” part especially

Played Halo 4 recently. Hear it was 343 taking over from Bungie. They put a lot of effort into beying loyal to the identity. A little too pastiche sometimes. The 3-way symmetry of the gun lineup, the levels retroactively justifying Halo 3 MP maps. The plot’s serviceable, nouns go to the Halo mythology and paragraphs to Marathon. I was a Mac kid, I appreciate it.

Now that Bungie’s free when do we get a story about a rampant AI named Joyeuse?

Or Myth III. Ooh.

Wait, there was a Myth III? There was not a Myth III.

Oh: point being. It was so cool to be educated modern but then just Oh God The Romans, sometimes. Now that we’ve passed them that’s a fun fantasy we like to have fun with, but now the only place to project it is space.

Do the Big Buck Hunter guys have a thing for small-chested girls, or do they not notice secondary sex characteristics once they see they don’t have horns?
