10:28pm - Nice real time footage setting up this modern day Red Dawn.
10:31pm - That poor child's parents...do I sense a future John Conor?
10:32pm - Nevermind. Conor is actually already leading my crazy rag tag band of bad-ass rebel Americana.
10:34pm - "I thought this was suppose to be a quick snatch and grab"...Indeed...
10:41pm - So much for that peaceful, no-trouble-want'n group of civs. I was about to think there was no reasonable way to get out of this mess...but then a crazy dune buggy with rocket launchers showed up...easy enough.
10:43pm - So hopefully we'll find out at some point what the in-game Korea hopes to gain by indiscriminately killing their occupied population.
10:46 - Thankfully our little hideout has "fences, tree cover, and that camouflage canopy," and no one in the future has GPS, predator drones, or Google maps.
10:50 - Seriously, what's Conor's problem? Why can't he appreciate all Boone's done to keep this place safe. Canopy camouflage doesn't drape itself.
10:53pm - Oh, you must be guy who over uses the F-word to make things feel for realz.
11:00pm - the quick aim function of this game is ridiculous, pull down left trigger, then right trigger then repeat..
11:04pm- You have to love well programed NPC "New Guy, clear the house!" *computer blocks the door so I can't enter* "New guy stop fuckin' around..."
11:12pm - Though I know the this is fictional and obviously far from real, I can't help but think that America would just be screwed in this situation. Literally we are leading three guys against a battalion of Koreans...
11:18pm - Who needs tanks when you've got NPCs that can casually fire off rounds as they rush (walk) a sentry gun.
11:22pm - Thank the gods, that giant robot hand from Portal was beginning to weird me out.
11:23pm - "Last time I was here I saw my fucking dentist"...nough said.
11:25pm - It's a set up! And then 5 slow-mo seconds later, 3 super Americans 1, "KPA" 0.
11:32pm - This occupation makes the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq look like they were attended to with deft skill by comparison. It looks like there should be zombies running around instead of these Storm Trooper looking Shredders. If I were Korean I'm not sure whether I'd be more offended by the one-dimensional portrayal or the insinuation that three bold Americans could route the entire army.
11:43pm - Best one-liner of the next chapter so far..."Watch out, they see us here everything goes tits up."
11:45pm- Good thing we still have weapons like The Candle, a roman candle launches in the air and drops death bombs of phosphorous from above...and what munitions housing did we get that out of...and of course there is friendly fire and we feel the blow of The Candle, and of course we live...We fall from what must have been fifty feet in the air, and of course we live...
11:55pm - So I remember reading an article about this not too long ago about how the resistance was going to have to build from the bottom and gather resources, but of course we have a dune buggy with rockets arms which arrives as re-enforcements randomly...don't know what game that guy was playing
11:58pm - Homefront fun fact #1- After America is bombed and occupied by the Koreans the greatest battles will be fought outside a Hooters and Full Throttle energy drink vending machines will not receive a scratch.
12:00pm - Homefront fun fact #2 - NOS energy drink vending machines tend to be the only form of cover...
12:20pm - "I thought I smelled Korean barbecue"...good lord...
12:30pm - Oh no! They torched the home base, the KPA must have cracked the canopy code...all those fences and camouflage, all for naught. You blew it up! Damn you. God damn you all to hell!
12:40pm - It's been established that soon into the KPA occupation, American rebels formed a strategic alliance with the recently awakened and now sentient race of cyborg dune buggies. After sustaining heaving losses, Goliath is all that remains of his once thriving and glorious vehicle brethren.
12:42pm - Strap C4 to Goliath? Noooo! I refuse! No Goliath, noooo!
....Goliath's resposne: does not compute. RIP my friend, you will be missed.
12:48pm - I'm fairly certain half the bullets that hit me weren't ever fired by anyone.
12:58pm - Still don't know what we're trying to accomplish. I hardly think that sabotaging these tankers is going to do much. I don't want to break it to Conor and the gang, but I don't think a three man (and one woman) insurgency is gona go very far.
1:02pm - Best quote of the night from Jim, "America use to stand for something...till they took away the Ooil...that's when everything changed.
1:32pm - We can't get pass this part with the friggen church. It's as if the church doesn't love freedom...
1:40pm- Homefront fun fact #3- Americans have legs powerful enough to withstand a fall from any height, especially when jumping from church bell towers.
2:14pm - We have now reached the final chapter....think Vietnam War at the Golden Gate Bridge...We don't get it either
2:33pm - Taking the Golden Gate Bridge, most rewarding part of the night: "Jacob, that's like the fifth thing you've fallen off of and lived!"
2:45pm - Another Portal arm is causing trouble. Getting a bit peeved at the ridiculous battle taking place for no apparent strategic gain. When mechanical arms with blue lights say it's time to turn back, I tend to agree.
2:50pm - Nearing the end, Conor went down, hope he's dead, meanwhile the game is literally falling apart in front of us. Unfortunately, Jim keeps getting shot in the head with RPGs and is not enjoying it...Final Fantasy to the face mutha frakka
2:55pm -Conor: "How much longer!" I am wondering the exact same thing.
2:57pm - Goliath is back...WTF? It's on fire, and has apparently turned on us. How it survived, why it does what it does...no explanation. Perhaps it's best that way.
