Question Number Has Nothing to do with Politics!

If anyone who looks at this blog is anything like me, (this being the internet and seeing the amount of page views I get) you just might be tired of politics by now. Possibly. So I have decided to save my left-leaning views for a time when it won't matter.

I have been playing a bit of FEAR 3 or F3AR as the people who can pronounce numbers call it with my more conservative room mate (he wishes Scott Brown would run for President, and will most likely get his wish in a few years.) However, we both really like F3AR. Even though I like FEAR 2 much better, F3AR probably has some of the best symbolism and character development. It is a good game DESPITE THE FACT THAT THEY KILLED OFF THE PROTAGONIST FROM FEAR 2!!!

I would really have liked it if they had given that character (his name and rank is, or was, Sgt. Micheal Becket, and he was cruelly raped while defending this country) some more character development. The people behind F3AR put so much work (and dare I say love?) into characterizing both The Point Man and his psycho cannibal brother, Paxton Fettel. It is rare that someone like John Carpenter (he made The Thing, which I also love) can be skilled in two mediums. I suppose Steve Niles was also a major contributor, but I don't know his work at all so I can't guess what he contributed.

I suppose that since they brought Jin back and gave her medic training (from sexy sniper to sexy nurse. Sorry Feminists!) that means Becket and his love interest Lt. Stokes can be brought back. (Spoilers: in FEAR: Extraction Point, Jin winds up just as dead as Becket.)

Anyway, my question is this: has any TV show, book, movie, game, or, since this is the day that the fate of the Republic is decided, politician that you liked suddenly thrown something annoying at you? Come on, comment!

  1. Hey T4nky, I totally agree with you on the idea that numbers in titles like f3ar are stupid. Like, who does that. P.S. I love you T4nky.
