Bonus Points: Just Cause-nado (4)

A few minutes, perhaps even amusing and/or entertaining ones at that, of some screwing around with one of the new dynamic nature elements in Just Cause 4. It’s basically the Michael Bay of videogames, but kinda better.

AFI Top 100 #060 Duck Soup

TLS endures the Marx Brothers’ satirical political shtick-storm that is “Duck Soup.” We never forget a movie, but in this case we’ll make an exception, with a hey-nani-nani and a *honk honk.* [Aggregate score: 2.25]
