Now figure out to what ^^ Alright alright, sheesh, can’t a fella crack a joke no more? Back in the day when I actually bought physical discs, I always went the second hand or 50%-off route. I simply didn’t see the reaso... Metallica, Compact Disc fade to black…

Here in Germany, you get used to it. Along with graphic violence, Nazi signage is the #1 censored thing, way ahead of gratuitous nudity mind you. Most game companies give in to this system for fear of being either restricted to under-the-counter retail or being banned altogether. That's why Austria and the UK, where apparently less violent people live, are the adult gamers' one stop shop for anything kids are obviously not meant to see. Which includes such things as a suicide bomber in Command and Conquer, which had to be redone as a "bomb on wheels" that ironically could drive a car into the target and then explode! No Command and Conquer game in german canon had real human soldiers either, they were all cyborgs, because running over sentient artificial live forms with a tank is ethically sound apparently. They appeared frighteningly human in the cutscenes no less. Hypocrites. In Wolfenstein 3D (before it got banned for being too violent) we've always had a nation united under the double cross, led by angry cyborg hitler. At least they kept the 'stache. Oh and by the by, that movie poster is awesome, I can't believe it's that old. As if somehow fuchsing up historical accuracy made it all better…
