The whole attack on america thing is pretty wild. Not that I'm proud that one of the fights in america revolves around a fast food chain mall.11:47:35 AM weaselbringer: lol11:47:37 AM weaselbringer: yeah11:47:42 AM weaselbringer: defend the burger town is pretty silly11:47:49 AM weaselbringer: but I'm glad there's a taco bell or whatever,11:48:23 AM Cliff: Well its funny, you think about all the other game they've done and you fight for farms and churches and historic areas. Then they do one game in america and your defending the burger barn and taco hut.11:48:46 AM Cliff: "God damnit general, save the burger barn and get me a double quarter pounder while your there!"11:48:48 AM weaselbringer: well I'm assuming we're defending "freedom" and not the burger hut11:49:02 AM Cliff: Freedom Fries11:49:22 AM weaselbringer: we're defending our right to have people stupid enough to call french fries... that11:49:42 AM Cliff: God bless america11:56:21 AM weaselbringer: I believe the burger hut was bombed anyway11:56:44 AM weaselbringer: diner also thrashed, pisstown USA will have to bebuilt11:57:05 AM weaselbringer: Hundreds of dollars in government funding will be required before it can regain it's former beauty11:57:11 AM weaselbringer: HUNDREDS11:57:33 AM Cliff: Wheres a crying eagle when you need one.11:58:00 AM weaselbringer: or a cybernetic bald eagle riding a plymouth into uncle sams vampire mouth11:58:04 AM weaselbringer: no wait that's just a tattoo I wanted11:58:56 AM Cliff: I can see it, I dig it... no wait let me get the acid then everything will make sense12:02:36 PM weaselbringer: then it looks like a pile of lumber, acid test pre-completed buddy12:02:47 PM weaselbringer: what about that controversial airport scene?12:02:58 PM Cliff: Did you play that yet?12:03:02 PM Cliff: Its the third mission12:03:16 PM weaselbringer: Here's a massive machine gun and for some reason we need you to "PRETEND" by killing and gunning down OODLES of innocents12:03:38 PM weaselbringer: this is to 'get in good' with the terrorist, who is STANDING IN FRONT OF YOU WHILE YOU ARE HOLDING A MACHINE GUN12:04:18 PM weaselbringer: you could burst all 5 of those jackasses and not a single civilian life lost, or you could HELP them gun down thousands, get shot in the face and start a war...12:04:19 PM weaselbringer: hmm12:04:40 PM weaselbringer: maybe America's policy of 'kill as many innocents as it takes' isn't as well thought out as we thought12:04:48 PM Cliff: hah12:05:32 PM Cliff: Well heres my take on it, they wanted you to get in close with him to figure out what was next. Maybe they thought he had a nuke or something big that could kill loads more, who knows, I'm honestly not sure if they even bring it up.12:05:46 PM Cliff: Anyways, they send you in the get in good with him and play buddy buddy12:05:48 PM weaselbringer: Not explained at all12:06:18 PM weaselbringer: and I'm pretty sure he can't use a nuke with 30 rounds in his back... which is exposed to you, the whole time, that you are... killing innocent people, to gain his favor, which doesn't work12:06:33 PM Cliff: What bugs me is all that "If you are compromised we destroy all evidence of your existence" that ALL other CIA movies do... I mean shit its the first thing I thought of.12:07:03 PM Cliff: My assumption was it was a no other alternative situation12:07:06 PM weaselbringer: isn't the point of counter terrorism to avoid gigantic bloodbaths like... I dunno, a massive airport execution?12:07:14 PM Cliff: Like he had the capabilities and cells that would do it for him if he died12:07:55 PM weaselbringer: still knowing there was some guy in france with sweaty palms holding the controller for a nuke would go a long way to soothing my concerns, instead it's "Be his friend, kill thousands... it's WORTH it"12:08:31 PM Cliff: *little devil on his shoulder*This is a good idea, nothing could go wrong.12:08:55 PM weaselbringer: little angel - Yeah, machine guns, yeah! (in a beavis voice)12:09:01 PM Cliff: hah12:09:41 PM weaselbringer: I have to say the game is made worth it by gangsta shooting faceless enemies while snowmobiling at roughly 200 miles per hour12:09:46 PM Cliff: Maybe one of the writers at activision had a really bad experience at a german airport and was like "Ya know what, fuck these people" and the story goes from there.12:09:56 PM weaselbringer: You ever been to german airport?12:09:58 PM Cliff: lol12:10:00 PM Cliff: no12:10:01 PM weaselbringer: it's like that ALL the time12:10:09 PM weaselbringer: thousands dead daily12:10:30 PM weaselbringer: I don't think a plane has ever successfully landed or taken off from a german airport12:10:36 PM weaselbringer: due to all the shootings12:10:42 PM Cliff: I'll have to make note of this12:10:46 PM Cliff: Avoid Germany12:11:01 PM weaselbringer: yeah if you're layover is in hamburg or something like that, wear flak, go in packing and leave on a fucking snowmobile12:11:21 PM weaselbringer: that will be the only way you're getting to euro-disney12:11:58 PM Cliff: Now I have the image of Mickey in the airport gunning down thousands of civilians.12:12:17 PM weaselbringer: with his creepy laugh, now THAT would be Epic Mickey12:12:49 PM weaselbringer: Goofy throws a flashbang and says "Garsh" before slitting the throat of yet another airport security guard12:13:16 PM Cliff: Donald suicide bombs a concession stand12:15:07 PM weaselbringer: which accomplishes...12:15:20 PM weaselbringer: No it doesn't matter12:15:26 PM weaselbringer: I think it's awesome12:15:37 PM weaselbringer: I'm also going to blog this... watch me12:16:21 PM Cliff: I can't wait for the FBI to call me.12:19:39 PM weaselbringer: and crotchmail.com 'ed12:20:08 PM Cliff: I've always waited for this day... my life is complete
