It may be British but I recommend everyone watch the show Yes, Minister. It's all about a politician who's been elected to lead the country and the bureaucrats that actually do, and actually does a good job of showing how even a well meaning politician ultimately becomes part of the very deep state they were elected to fight.
I love how they're taking to social media celebrating this as though they actually genuinely thought that we the people would say "Hey! Good job!". Go fuck yourselves. Republicans are just as bad as Democrats, they're just better at hiding it.
Well, I definitely recommend Black Adder, one of the recurring jokes was that every major character would be killed at the end of each season and the next season would take place in a completely different century with new characters (kind of, different characters but they're played by the same actors and have the same basic personalities and even the same names). I know it's not what you're actually talking about but when you said "definitive endings" my first thought was "what's more definitive than killing everyone Black Adder style".
Bungie's problem has been, ever since they broke off from Microsoft, bad management. Activision mismanaged them, they mismanaged themselves, and now Sony is mismanaging them. Which just goes to show that management, as always, ruins everything.
Monty Python's Flying Circus and Robot Chicken were sketch shows, the whole point of those shows is that each "episode" is really 5-10 episodes that are just being broadcast together. That's not the same thing as family guy where each episode has an overall plot but is filled with random gags that have nothing to do with the actual story being told.
Characters all are pretty ugly (par for the course for western gaming), and there's definitely a couple of characters who I already found annoying. But overall seems like it might be decent. Gameplay looks solid. As long as the story isn't terrible and the writing is at least passable, it might actually be good.
Let's be clear here, ONLY 4 Republicans voted against it because the rest KNEW that enough would vote against it to kill it. Those four may be the ones who are openly betraying their constituents but the rest of the Republicans are just as treacherous.
So the global warming scam is done, yes? Also, no one has the authority to rid us of night, it serves a vital function.
