Signalis. It’s gas become one of my favourite games, maybe THE favourite game. It’s beautiful and heartbreaking.

Frankly, at this point I always assume that a given American mainstream public figure holds abhorrent views. Sometimes I get pleasantly surprised, but not as often as I’d like.

I can’t take this shit for one more year

I keep telling myself that the bastards don’t have it in them to last more than a few months at thus point. I’m so tired of being stuck in this horrible place, I can’t take it anymore. But sometimes it feels like this war will go on for years and years…

It’s worth noting that the book Joker grows out of his obedience to the empire and gets to know and relate to the people he has come to Vietnam to kill. The movie doesn’t explore the second book of the duology (despite borrowing some imagery from it), where the consequences of serving the empire come back to bite Joker in the ass and, ostensibly, make him a better person.

All in all, I like the books a whole lot better.
