Yeah I mean, what would people think if they took all those statues of Hitler down in Germany, or Mussolini- we have to celebrate our history! Both sides! /s
I know this poster is old, but damn if it doesn’t make me laugh every single time. This is such a great joke, but also an absolutely brilliant marketing move- everyone gets a laugh for sure, and I guarantee anyone not already aware of the bands on the roster is going to remember exactly one band in particular over the others.
GOP’ers are the fucking worst. Maybe they should go move to Israel and have a stab at killing babies. On second thought, they’d probably like that since the kids have been born already and are brown.
Man this game was so amazing. Coming from wolfenstien and doom, it was a technological marvel. I remember being wowed by the fact that it had liquids, and vacuum, and maps that spanned multiple levels vertically. The map had moving parts, like elevators and collapsible staircases and stuff which was amazing. And then the whole plot- psychotic AI, alien invasion, exploring abandoned spaceships, etc.
Then the sequels shipped with the map editor that let you put together whole scenarios yourself, it was crazy good. As a Mac user in the 90s, it was one of the only times my pc friends were game jelly- it was Mac only!
Then bungie made two other amazing Mac-only franchises, Oni and another one you might have heard of, Halo. In classic Microsoft fashion, they bought the studio and fucked everything up and changed Halo from an amazing team based, story driven co-op alien invasion epic into an increasingly generic fps franchise to sell Xboxes and merch.

These fucking guys paying six figures for a dirty, broken, uncharged cybertruck. I mean seriously, they’re REALLY gargling Elons balls, this is insane. I wouldn’t take delivery of a fucking Corolla if it arrived like this, let alone a car the cost of a small house.
