The video game called F.E.A.R: First Encounter Assault Recon gets a bum rap, even though everyone knows it rules. The bum rap is that everyone thinks it's just the AI and the guyshoot that rule in F.E.A.R: First Encounter Assault Recon, when actually a ton else about F.E.A.R: First Encounter Assault Recon also rules.

this one loves weird infrastructure and this unfinished highway junction just outside town has always just captivated the doll with brutalist vibes while driving by, finally just went out on the side of the highway and took some pictures! also did it to get used to the new camera, the doll is having so much fun with it.

The best way to play GTA4 these days is with DXVK and several mods to fix things which never worked in the PC version, or have broken since, and to make the graphics less bad. Is that the way I just played through the entire game? Haha, no! I set all this up and then played through it on the Xbox because I wanted to be on the couch.

The most interesting thing about playing GTA4 for me now is how particular it is to 2008. The phone's not a smartphone. It was the very last year before they got everywhere and started changing everything. You use the phone to make calls and hold numbers. You can dial 911 to bring cops. You end up with no missions to go to so you flip through your contacts and call people to see if they have work, or (I guess) want to hang out. That's not even a way people use a phone now. It must seem like such a weird random video game contrivance if you're a few years younger than me.
