You got to give props to the people who convinced idiots that sunscreen causes cancer.
Jared Leto doesn’t like Jared Leto.
Canadian teams just seem to not want to win. With Toronto more concerned with shooting themselves in the foot the moment they reach the playoffs every year; Winnipeg, Vancouver, Calgary and Ottawa more concerned with cycles of more or less mediocrity; Edmonton who have to rely on 2 players to get them through you’re left with the Habs who can’t seem to get it together for long enough to make a real impact though I really hope this time around is the one that sticks and I have hope!
Canucks (my team) seem to be preoccupied with one more trade or one more overpaid free agent and we’ll squeak in but when that doesn’t work out they shit the bed again, just like this year and it’s looking worse the next with absolutely nothing in the cupboards (though the Calder cup win makes things look a little better). But we’re about to sabotage the career of the greatest player we’ve ever had because ownership refuses to have a genuine rebuild.

Marathon was pretty innovative at the time. The fact that there was any form of plot at all was unique in the action and shooter genres. It was the first major release with free look and being able to aim up and down at all. Plus reloading weapons, dual wielding weapons, weapon models visible on the player in multiplayer, plus network voice chat pretty much all of which have become standard in shooters today.
And whatever this new Marathon is it bears exactly zero relation to the original. Innovative, original, single player experience vs derivitave, cut and paste multiplayer “live service” grift.

Edit, for those interested, there hadn’t been violent mass resistance in India since the uprisings in 1857. While terrorism and assassinations continued, the Imperial intelligence services (which were one of the largest and most sophisticated in the world) effectively neutered and public opinion in Britain wasn’t affected at all.
The Indian National Army which grew in WW2 with Japanese support certainly worried the Imperial governors but it had been obliterated during the botched invasion of India in 1944 and was never able to fully recover, despite strong support in some regions.
The now hugely powerful and well armed British Indian Army was another source of concern but there was no appetite among the officers for revolution and the ordinary soldiers had mixed loyalties.
Most of the violence within India at the time was actually between the Hindu majority and Muslim minority and not directed against British occupation in any large degree.
It was the non-violent passive opposition of Gandhi and the Quit India Movement, and crucially, the British violent crackdown of it, that shifted public opinion within Britain. Once Churchill was ousted, there was neither the public support, or the political desire for further defense of British rule in India and forced them to the negotiating table.
To say violence was what caused the British to pull out is factually incorrect and that the non violent resistance totalled “jack shit” is ignorant beyond belief.

Small change that has a big impact on the replayability.
