Never forget while attending a legal conference in Ottawa in 2007, Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia remarked upon the jurisprudence and strategic effectiveness of torture as a means for American law enforcement to obtain timely and useful information from people who are suspected of terrorism. Other legal experts weighed in on the discussion, arguing that torture can lead to coerced confessions from innocent people, and legal systems in democratic nations would prevent such confessions from being used as evidence. Scalia responded that he was unconcerned with prosecutions in such cases, saying that as long as a terrorist plot was thwarted or delayed, the Jack Bauer-like federal agent in question would have done a good thing.

Absolutely fucking insane that a sitting SCOTUS judge openly cited a TV character as someone to look up to.

I never played any of these, but I love mechs. I'm not as fond of Japanese mecha design, and this looks like it splits the difference between mecha and Western mechs. A fully customizable mech is always awesome. This is definitely on my "eventually" list. Thanks for a great, informative QL!

Fifteen fucking years ago. Still one of the funniest goddamn things on this website. Shoutout to the originals, and to the people still keeping it going.

The adult in me wishes Dan would stop saying "for shoot" all the time.

Of course, me and all my friends always say the "what's taters" thing every time we have potatoes with dinner, so I guess we all have our vices.

@badsmalltalker: Yeah, exactly. I've only watched bits and pieces of this series for exactly the reasons you bring up.

@santar: Yeah, you nailed it. Once the consensus is that a game is bad, it's like the GB crew is completely incapable of finding anything fun or redeeming whatsoever.

I played an hour or so and the most disappointing thing was being kicked back to the main menu a couple of times because of the always-online shit. I have a full group of people to play with, so regardless of anything else, I know I'm gonna have fun with the game in that sense.

Whatever else you can say about this game, they absolutely nailed the look of small town coastal New England.

Absolutely agree. The only thing I like more than multi-creator LPs is the specific type of LP where one person plays a game they're not familiar with while being coached/directed by someone who is a fan of that game.

I fucking love this game. I'll say now what I said about this game when I played it (spoiler): any game that lets you put a bullet in the head of a billionaire defense industry CEO is good in my book.

That bomb logo is dope.

Thanks for including my ongoing series!
