Humanity has achieved much over the last century. New medical technologies, space travel and the Internet come to mind. But they all pale in comparison to the greatest invention of all time: The mother-lovin’ tank. Can Penicillin stop terror with an armour-piercing round? No! Could the discovery of DNA freely travel over terrible terrain to bring justice to rebel forces? Hell noooo.
Tanks are awesome and always will be. Even if I’m technically not allowed to drive one ever again thanks to that incident at EP Command when I was in high school. But at least I could get some satisfaction from tanks via Battle City. One of the simplest NES games out there, Battle City was addictive in its streamlined approach. And utterly fantastic when you got the right power-ups.
They don’t make games like that anymore! Or offices, like the one that that moody colonel used on that one fateful day on the army base…

A Bolo, like in the American Bounty Hunter movies or TV Series?
Why? You want to be locked up in a Mexican Prison, by Romanians, prosecuted under Japanese law and defended by South Africa Advocates?

The second one after the first would be preferential to the third of the fourth.

read about another case where a pretty out there band wrote a song, had it on Youtube, bothering nobody. Then, song gets used in a movie and YouTube nails them, the owner of the copyright, for copyright infringement. This based on the movie hits far outnumbering the original song, of course. Cannot remember the details, read about it earlier this year.

You make exploding phone, you HAVE to know it’s going to be in a game, and I’m so happy Youtube told them to go fly a kite in a thunderstorm.
