From a not-really-a-review of Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor:

The fact that the warlords remember you (previousEncounter=1) and talk trash when you come at them again is cool and unfortunately rather novel. Personally I think more games should have cut scenes where the bad guys acknowledge that I, the protagonist, have in fact killed 800 henchmen at this point in the game, making me one of the most successful spree killers in history.

I’ve thought this, myself. Probably everybody who plays video games has.  …I hope. because otherwise I’m just being weird.  Well, weirder than normal.

…I reserve the right to cook off if somebody does something particularly dumb, but otherwise I’m taking it easy.  It’s Sunday. It’s supposed to be nice today. I get to go see the new Captain America flick this afternoon. So I think that a bit of Maximum Chilling may be in order.

:pause:

Although I don’t know if the following video will really help with that.

As I noted on Twitter last night: I don’t see this ending well for anybody involved. Mind you, if you disagree with me you can now preorder it.
