Such a fun, if immature title. The main story has you jumping between various pop culture vignettes on your adventures home from a drunken night at the bar.</p><p>My favorite of these Vignettes is the bank heist mission where you literally play through the marble hallway shootout scene from The Matrix, bullet time acrobatics, destructible pillars, all of it.</p><p>The multiplayer was also a fun iteration in the deathmatch shooter, including various game modes such as a racer, heist, asymmetrical players vs dinosaurs, and even a stealth red/green light style defense game? Nothing groundbreaking but remember this was on the N64!</p><p>I remember you could autoaim throwing knives by holding up on the thumbstick and C-down at the same time then throwing. Literally never misses. My ~10 year old~ ADULT brain couldn't believe it!</p>

But instead of treating abusive monopolies as permanent features of the landscape we should trim them down.</p>

delProfundo<p>Ok that’s all I can take. Ted’s second shot at super was met with derision from the pm, who pointed out correctly the time for a scare campaign is before an election, not after. </p><p>I can’t do this anymore.

delProfundo<p>NOW TED GETS HIS GO 🤣🤣🤣 3rd LNP question of the season is about if there will be<br>more unrealised gains tax increases beyond superannuation. Just say yes so we all get to see his brain explode.</p><p>That’s 3 from 3.
