just want to say, shit gets worse but there is a point where a lot of it becomes reality man, sure you will miss them but if I’m being honest that was meant to be, that bond didn’t mean to last and the universe broke it. Don’t light yourself up in fire to keep someone else warm

my class is getting sent to a camp for 3 days where they try to "make us have a better and stronger bond w each other" and to help us "be better students"... we go in like 2 weeks and we are already discussing ab who exactly is gonna put the camping house on fire :))

okay i will admit they always make fire music for the james bond movies

Sounds promising. One thing I like about Agent Under Fire is that it gets to be its own thing, which helps suspend disbelief (which that game admittedly requires a lot of). Regardless, I miss Bond games and am glad to see them get a fresh start with a new studio and new ideas. https://t.co/TyS9LS3MpO

Damn this is pretty interesting, I don't the Bond games have had a unique looking model divorced from the actors since Agent Under Fire I think? https://t.co/ymMDXmSj10
