This
week, Rebellion announced a unique pre-order bonus for it's upcoming game
Sniper Elite V2. If you pre-order the
game, you get Hitler. Yes, Hitler. No, not Mr. Hilter from Monty Python, Hitler.
Not the man who will be included in the game.
Adolf
Hitler will be included in the multi-player aspects of Sniper Elite V2. You won't be able to play as the infamous
German leader, instead you will be tasked with killing Hitler in a scenario
reminiscent of Inglorious Basterds.
Not the man who will be included in the game.
There has
been the typical response from anti-Semitic groups, afraid of glamorizing the
most infamous criminal in history, or in presenting this man in a cartoonish
light. However, there has been a
response from a group that does not often give public comments. On Wednesday, this publication received a
statement about this story from the Soldiers Of Aryan Culture.

Soldiers
Of Aryan Culture, founded and headquartered in Utah, deals mostly with drug
running, intimidation of minority groups, and the secret support of the Utah
Eagle Forum. Usually this group remains
quiet, not wanting to be publicly associated with one another in case a member
of this group gets arrested. In a
departure from this approach, Soldiers Of Aryan Culture spokesman, Thomas
Wright, sent a statement asserts the group's belief that the much reviled
German leader was an integral part of 20th Century History and a still great
force in the world. The statement reads
as follows:
"Given
this great leader's great role is the greatest movement known to man, to show
the Fuhrer in such a way is disrespectful to the good parts of the human
race. The ascension and the purification
of the white race is a slow but essential part of creating a more perfect
society. The depiction of a leader of
this movement is an affront to civilized society, and should be condemned by
all people who seek to live in a world free of the impure thoughts and actions
perpetuated by impure people."

When
reached for comment about this statement, a PR director at Rebellion Games
said, "What? Is this a joke? Are you fucking kidding me? Stop wasting my time with this
shit." The PR director then hung up
the phone.
Reaction
to this pre-order bonus among the gamer community has been rather
positive. One gamer in particular, known
online as "|-|UG0571GL17Z" said, "I look forward to teabagging
this fucktard over and over and over and over..." This gamer repeated
saying "and over" for several pages.
Adventures
In Disappointment
Last
weekend I decided I wanted to move. I
got my tax return back, I've been tired of my current place for a while, and,
damn it, I'm ancy. I started searching
for a new apartment on the Apartment Guide iPad app.
This app
allowed me to delve into hundreds of listings in my area, find a number of
apartments that suited my tastes, and send messages to various agents. Through the process of using this app, I
found fifteen apartments that suited my tastes.
After sending out fifteen messages and receiving replies to six of them,
most within hours of me contacting them, I went hunting. Friday was spent going to six different
locations, looking at nine different apartment, and finding a lot of
information. I was able to figure out
what my options were, and found three apartment that I liked.
Like the
responsible adult that I am, the next step was budgeting. Included in my budgeting was things like
increases in food and gas, increases in entertainment, and possible increases
in rent, as well as various other expenses.
After taking a dutiful look at the numbers, I came to a conclusion.
I'm not
moving. I simply can't afford it right
now. I want to. Oh God I don't believe in, I want to, but I
can't do it right now. Maybe in the
future, after I pay off more of my debt and put more money away in savings, I
can do it, but just not right now.
It's
unfortunate that I can't move right now.
I was looking forward to getting in touch with new surrounding,
neighbors, and even myself. Moving is a
goal that I think I will still hold for myself, I just need to work a little
longer to get there. Hopefully not too
much longer.
Take your normal superhero origin story. Guy gets powers, guy realizes he has powers, guy goes out to save the world. Now factor this in: the guy has a score to settle.
Everybody wonders what it is that makes them who they are. The Hawk thought that question was securely answered. However a meeting with a boy in a hospital causes him to question everything. Why he is, who he is, what he is, and even if he is.
Eleven years after the events of Consequences Of Mayorust, The Hawk finds himself dealing with many of the same issues that many of us deal with: A less than satisfying job, co-workers of variant annoyance, and a romantic life is unhealthy at best. Thrust into all this is Madison Medina, a well meaning woman who's adversarial relationship with The Hawk morphs into a kind of friendship. Madison, in addition to learning more about herself and her abilities, help to reveal deeper problems inside the organization both she and The Hawk work for.
In every workplace there is a person. A person who doesn't talk to anyone, has walled themselves socially, and seems openly hostile to everyone. Every workplace has this person, even if you don't know of such a person, they're there. The Black Robin Christmas Carol is the story of one of these people. It delves into who this person is, why this person is, and how this person can change for the better.
There is a story. A story of pain, a story of loss, a story of unspeakable horrors, a story that has not been given it's proper attention. Some are ignoring this story. Some are unaware of this story. Some know of this story but are complicit in it's darkness. This is a story that must be told. Told so that the good can stop it and the bad can feel shame for it.
When I thought up thig blog, the name I first thought up was "Random Bullshit". Quickly I recognized that this name would put some people off. Then I thought of the name "Random Bull****". That seemed to be to much clutter. Then I was inspired with the name that dons this blog today.
