The Combat ‘Mafia III’ trailer.

Goodness gracious, but that’s absurd.

I mean, Mafia III is a video game, so yeah, it’s absurd anyway – but it just screams “ABSURD!” when you set it in a recent historical epoch.  How is the protagonist expected to operate for more than a day before the entire National Guard is called out to find him?  Supernatural intervention?

Note, of course, that there’s every chance that I end up playing this game. Absurdity is never a deal-breaker for me. But it’s still pretty funny, in a very dark sort of way.
