Just for laughs...

Something to pair with Ghost Recon: Breakpoint? I honestly can't recall the last show I watched, and neither do I particularly care to, given the Terminator event going on.

 

And to quote one of the past masters, John Cleese:

The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent events in Syria and have therefore raised their security level from “Miffed” to “Peeved.” Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to “Irritated” or even “A Bit Cross.” The English have not been “A Bit Cross” since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies nearly ran out. Terrorists have been re-categorized from “Tiresome” to “A Bloody Nuisance.” The last time the British issued a “Bloody Nuisance” warning level was in 1588, when threatened by the Spanish Armada.

The Scots have raised their threat level from “Pissed Off” to “Let’s get the Bastards.” They don’t have any other levels. This is the reason they have been used on the front line of the British army for the last 300 years.

The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from “Run” to “Hide.” The only two higher levels in France are “Collaborate” and “Surrender.” The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France ‘s white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the country’s military capability.

Italy has increased the alert level from “Shout Loudly and Excitedly” to “Elaborate Military Posturing.” Two more levels remain: “Ineffective Combat Operations” and “Change Sides.”

The Germans have increased their alert state from “Disdainful Arrogance” to “Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs.” They also have two higher levels: “Invade a Neighbour” and “Lose.”

Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual; the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels .

The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy. These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy.

Australia, meanwhile, has raised its security level from “No worries” to “She’ll be alright, Mate.” Two more escalation levels remain: “Crikey! I think we’ll need to cancel the barbie this weekend!” and “The barbie is cancelled.” So far no situation has ever warranted use of the last final escalation level.

 

...that would be a weird show. Beat Saber + Family Feud... A family game show where people swing light sabers at ... I don't know, random questions flying at them?

 

I'm glad you are enjoying it!!!

Good luck getting through it all... especially as it is ever expanding... speaking of which, more memes!....

 

They didn't fix the horrible single-player AI of Warcraft III then?

 

I just started playing WC3 Reforged and love it. Frankly I'm glad they didn't change it much because I feel as if I'm playing the original game. Units walk in little formations, text is same size, ui is the same. I'm loving it. WC3 was my childhood lol and I'm really happy they kept it pretty much the same. Also they kept the general model proportions the same so they still feel like the original models just with extra detail.

 

AoE2 truly stands the test of time, not only having replay value after at least 2 decades since its release but also still receiving updates and substantial expansions.

 

Make no mistake, I do like Warcraft III. The campaign mode is great and very nicely balanced, and the four factions are all enjoyable to play in that campaign mode. The single-player AI, however, is absolutely horrendous - it has loads of advantages against you, yet is so stupid that it can’t detect gold mines hidden in groves of trees, which is a shame as the Campaign AI seems a lot more reasonable to play against.

The only way I can defeat it is if I play a battle with two or more players and manage to survive down to the last two while the AI players beat each other up. I managed to win a fantastic victory as Orcs in such a game, where the Undead AI trashed the Alliance and Night Elf AIs but as soon as all the non-hidden gold mines were used up I would cut a narrow path through a single grove of trees to a hidden mine and turn it into a chokepoint with loads of towers on either side and an army of Troll Berserkers with a Shadow Hunter. The AI army was annihilated when it tried to take the gold mine off me, and instead of just carving a path through trees for another gold mine, it just kept training a new army and sending it towards me and into the chokepoint only for it to be destroyed. It just kept doing this until it ran out of gold and couldn’t train anymore units, whereupon I could just then train my own massive army and stomp through each of their towns one by one. I also won once as Alliance in a similar way, but since then I haven’t been able to pull off the trick again - I always somehow lose my army and run out of goldmines so that I’m in this deadlock until one of the AIs trashes my town.

Now Dungeons and Dragons: Dragonshard... that is an awesome game with a far better AI to play against. It doesn’t try to Zerg-rush you almost as soon as you’ve only just started constructing buildings, it has few internal advantages against you, yet is still strong enough to be a threat to you. It even has Lizardfolk as a playable faction!

 

Honestly, I think The Thick of It could be crossed with just about anything and still be hilarious, but part of me in particular really wants to see a version of Star Wars Battlefront with Yoda and others speaking like a certain Malcolm Tucker...
