[SPOILER - highlight to read]: The plot twist at the end was predictable- between the themes presented by the game and how much the narrative built up Walker's meeting with the Colonel, there's no way it could have ever been something as generic as killing him, or him killing himself in front you. My initial guess was that Konrad was already dead. Ten points for Gryffindor.
Shot Ghost!Konrad the second the game allowed me to, dropped my weapon when the soldiers came to take me home.
Pretty decent game. It's definitely unique for its storyline, and it was told pretty well. Excellent characterization as well. It's too bad I've reveled in man-games like Gears of War for so long that absolutely nothing in this game phased me. Ah well. Still a good game. I might go back to some of the prior chapters and re-do decisions to see how it effects the narrative.

It's a contingent of troops. Jesus, do you only make contextual or semantic differences when it suits you?
No, because when group A is being exterminated by group B, nobody is going to think how this makes group B and its family think. That's called a psychopath.
We'll agree to disagree.
Except they're asking for our help. Except if we do it your way and they don't win, the cancer spreads and keeps spreading. I get the feeling that if something doesn't affect you, it's not important.

Basically Clementine watching me do effed up shit and making me feel like crap afterwards. Also I feel really bad for Lilly.
[SPOILER - highlight to read]: I have to say, it was ****ing brutal when I told that guy his family was dead and then just walked away and left him to get eaten by them while he screams for me to (I assume) mercy kill him. But by that point I really didn't want Clem to have to watch me beat some guy to death in the mud.

On the other hand, I feel like this is the sort of thing we should have done instead of invading Iraq and Afghanistan in the first place. Dunno how helpful it'll be now.

I'm trying to slog through the Clone Wars cartoon, and it's amazing how much of a contrast there is from the first season onward. I mean, I basically wanted to kill myself for like the first ten episodes- it was so ****ing bad. Anakin, Asouka, Obi-Wan, Padme, Yoda... these are terrible ****ing characters to write a show around.
But then Bane appeared and the series instantly became more tolerable.
It's almost as if having villains that aren't total ****ing plebs who exist only to get shit on by heroes whom we know can't die because they're alive in the ****ing movie that takes place after the series is good for a show's health.
edit- I'll never forgive Lucas for changing the B1 droids' voices though.
