Random Thoughts - Part Deux [NO POLITICS]

[soulreapersteve]

No one wants to hear me sing. I am insanely tone deaf.

Get me liquored up though and I am on par with William Hung.

I'd replace 2 with Desperado and 3 with Stairway to Heaven

Toto vs Journey is like Peter Gabriel vs Phil Collins or FRS vs BRZ.

Bought Ghost Recon: Wildlands today. Hopefully it washes away the sour taste that The Division left in my mouth. Like heckin' hell Ubisoft, get your act together, it's not like the Assassins Creed series is any good anymore, or Rainbow Six: Siege was any good.

Another thing I don't get is why Rainbow Six is Rainbow Six and not Rainbow. Can't recall any Rainbow Six game where you're playing as Six.

Definitely just commented in the Random Pics thread thinking it was this thread. Whoops.

It's a reference to the Rainbow Plans started in 1939. This team is Plan 6 essentially

Let me know what you think of Wildlands. I played the Open Beta, and I thought it was... okay. I'm afraid that the core gameplay loop might be a little copy-pastey.

That's a negative, ghost rider. Rainbow is a special ops team in the fictional universe that Tom Clancy created, called the Ryanverse, in which Jack Ryan is a central character. John Kelly/Clark was the leader (or "Six") of the multinational special operations team, "Rainbow", dubbed such because of the different nations (USA, UK, Germany and Italy last I read) making up the team.

Edit: While you're technically right, the book doesn't necessarily follow that plan and only borrows the "Rainbow" name

Yeah, Im familiar with the RS6 story. I read into that last part cuz I figured there had to be some link for why he actually used that for the title inspiration. Maybe he just thought is sounded cool. Who knows

I did learn something new from that link you posted, so that's a plus! I had no idea about those plans that the US had in place, pretty interesting stuff

Yeah, very interesting. I never knew about them before myself
