Happy (or sad) Monday guys!

Mindless Monday is generally for those instances of bad history that do not deserve their own post, and posting them here does not require an explanation for the bad history. That being said, this thread is free-for-all, and you can discuss politics, your life events, whatever here. Just remember to np link all links to Reddit and don't violate R4, or we human mods will feed you to the AutoModerator.

So, with that said, how was your weekend, everyone?

What's everyone doing today?

I got to the crystal cave in dark souls. I can't kill the crystal guys cause I'm super magic. So my life consists of hurrying and falling down to my death. Yaaa!

Finished Bioshock Infinite. it's good! 8/10 for me. I think this is truly a game that survived on hype and visuals. The story was good, but confusing plot device doesn't make your plot better. The combat was okay for all of 4 enemies. I loathed how the the game had to make the Vox bad guys for the stupidest reasons. Making no side 'right' doesn't make your game automatically better either. You can still make them overly blood thirsty, and talk about that. But don't go "oh wow the people who were fighting to get rid of the racists in charge have gotten too radicallll and are now going to shoot us cause the leader says our existence go against her narrative so we must be killed before word comes out". After we already fought with like 30 men. It just seems lazy.

Also Elizabeth's powers blow. I want to open tears to let elephants stamped my enemies, or suck them into space. Not open a gun to shoot people with.

I had fun with the game though! I can just talk shit about it for a few things.

Remember that time we had a post about bad weather history in Buffy the Vampire Slayer? You know, the show about a blond chick fighting vampires?

Now people are complaining that we don't give Paradox games enough slack. Pointing out bad history is fun, it doesn't mean a game sucks.

It's funny cause we love Paradox games here.

I kind of wish I could be more into history games, unfortunately they all seem to be strategy (which I'm dumb at) or FPS which I don't enjoy too much.

Cherdenko remains the best historical figure however.

So, kind of offtopic, maybe, but I have been playing Total War: Shogun 2 lately and I was wondering if anyone could comment on the general historicity of how the troops and tactics are presented. I know in Total War the "special units" like ninjas and firebombers are usually pretty silly, but how well presented are the ashigaru and standard samurai troops? If I want to play a battle "realistically", what sort of troop composition would be typical, or is the game so terribly inaccurate that it would be silly to even ask that? And is the whole everyone has grappling hooks to climb up castle walls thing as ridiculous as it seems to me?

I suppose I am really hoping for someone to do a post on the game for the edification of those of us who are better at video games than we are at history.
