  • I actually loved parts of the story from 1. Granted, a lot of it was pointless, shallow, needed expansion, better written characters, so on and so forth. But every scene with the dragon was enthralling. A lot of what happened after you beat it was interesting. And idk how to do spoilers here so I’ll be vague, but what happens at the final boss on a second playthrough blew my mind. I had no clue, and it had been hundreds of hours since, so my jaw literally dropped.







  • The article is playing fast and loose as well.

    The US Navy has dispatched a guided-missile submarine to the Middle East.

    The posting was revealed by the military in an announcement late on Sunday. The unusual revelation regarding the location of the ship, which can launch nuclear missiles

    SSGNs are incapable of launching the missiles the article is thinking of. I suppose one could outfit the boat with the nuclear TLAM-D, but i doubt the Navy would bother.

    And there’s no chance in hell an SSBN, the actual sub with SLBMs on it, is going to surface anywhere and pop open a missile hatch (the missiles are launched submerged).

    Article is bunk, a GN showed up somewhere and is ready to put tomahawks through windows, business as usual for one of those boats. Show of force? Yes? Show of nuclear warhead force? No.

    Sauce - Submariner.

    Also sub fun fact, the 4 SSGNs in the US Navy are the Ohio, Michigan, Florida and Georgia. They have a building in Bangor for them, lovingly called the OMFG building.

    Every game on display has to have the display copy opened. The game itself is kept behind the counter, the case is put out for display. It’s to prevent theft. You got the last copy of the game in the store. It socks, but that’s why. When I worked there I let people know it was the last copy and that the game had been opened but was still “new”. Gave them a chance to change their mind. Alas, corporate doesn’t offer discounts on display copies, and employees have no power to lower the price.
