"Living my life is like playing Call of Duty on easy. I just go around and fuck shit up."

I am not feeling great right now, so the pure escapist power fantasy Michael Bay rip-off elements that are infinitely at play in every Call of Duty game hits me harder right now than the CIA dickling rah-rah pro-American cheerleading equally at play at all times.

This especially felt like several PS3 era shooters (Kane & Lynch, Bulletstorm, Rogue Warrior, Blood Dragon, Modern Warfare 2 and Black Ops) all shoved into a billion dollar smoothie. Just fuck it. Sometimes shooting video game characters, even at the digital devil Ronald Reagan's bequest, just feels good.
