Musopticon? Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Oh, it is? RPGCodex fails to deliver once again then. My impression was totally different. I bow before the more cognisant one.:D kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai.

The catch 22 tho is that there is still a solider class (heavy weapons) and grendier iirc. If it is truely a spy game, then what good are they? I believe there will be a shoot em up route and a dialogue route. With the shoot em up route having the "crappier" ending.

Musopticon? Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Explain catch 22 to a poor northern barbarian. I agree with rest of the post. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

metadigital Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 It's taken from a Joseph Heller novel, which I recommend to you, if you have a spare day to read it. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musopticon? Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Hmm...I might if you really recommend it. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

metadigital Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 It'll certainly provide an in-depth understanding to Catch-22, as well as the completely surreal imbercility of the characters, methods and events in war. Don't run out and buy it and stop eating until you finish or anything drastic, but it is certainly worth a look if you have a long trip to fill. It's not as eye-openingly relevant as the nineteenth century historical fiction The Way We Live Now, but it certainly is worth a read.

I thought about reading it, but ended up reading something else. Sounded like a good book though. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metadigital Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 It's primary fault is it is a bit too long, iirc. It tends to repeat itself a little too much (as a sympathetic writing device, too), so I thought it could have ended fifty pages or so earlier without loss. Meh. Always good to read stuff for yourself and make your own mind up. I tend to have deep unconscious thought-streams whilst reading, too.

kumquatq3 Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 (edited) I generally like the classics, but never a fan of Catch 22 Edited November 1, 2005 by kumquatq3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
