    If you were in a Tom Clancy novel we would know it.

    All the people around you would act like wooden placeholders for character archetypes.

      And they all have the CEO of the company that makes the firing pin on an AK47 on speed dial. It was the 90s.

        Oh yeah, Ken? He is a good guy it’s just sometimes when you are hanging out with him and he starts to get a little drunk at the bar he can’t help but start yelling loud jokes with racial slurs in em and it gets real awkward.

        He goes to church every Sunday though and his wife is the local girls soccer coach, he is a good guy at heart.

      Unless you happen to be the wooden placeholder.

    I mean the game “Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon” predicted the Russian-Georgian-war of 2008. The first mission even takes place in “South Ossetia”. It’s as if Putin was thinking to himself: I’m gonna make myself a Tom Clany-villain.

    It was worth stealing. The zombified Barbossa is somehow more scary with the goggles and tacticool stuff. He can walk over the seabed. He could be anywhere right now. Goggles freak me out…what were we talking about?

    I think the book started out pretty cool but I just couldn’t deal with the amount of murica feeling in that book. Not for me, I guess
