"Welcome to the Zone. You best leave your old life behind because there is no going back now. The laws of the outside world do not apply here, neither do the laws of nature as you know them. The very ground you walk upon may well open under your feet and swallow you whole. Present an opening...

I see someone has already posted Kurzgesagt vids. Here is another set of things on the topic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDPj5zI66LA&list=PLIIOUpOge0LulClL2dHXh8TTOnCgRkLdU

Oh fer cryin out loud. The Tau are neither space commies or nazis, granted they have a few traits from both but the Empire of Man is ahead by leaps and bounds in that regard. All that said ... Where are my god damned Necrons.

Good recommendation, though regarding Roadside Picnic, it was not so much that the aliens landed, rather they sort of orbital bombarded earth with their junk, least that is the main theory in the book. In addition, I would recommend basically the entirety of the 'Noon Universe' books and...

Bugger all until the end is truly nigh, then acquire some drinks and snacks, find the best vantage point possible and watch, maybe in a bittersweet amusement, as the people scurry around in panic. Mnyes, seems like a decent way to spend the final hours.

Slight side note, the location is most likely japan as it seems to be an adaption of the first season of SAC , given that the cast had 'laughing man' listed.

All these things remind me of an old piece of software that could fit on a small floppy. Billy was its name, perhaps not as sophisticated as the ones popular these days but it could get quite creepy indeed.

Not sure as to from where i first picked it up but later found out it was one of MR.Royo's designs, one of the few 'decent enough' for public usage. If you are familiar with his work, you'll understand what that means. Was the first avie i used back when i first set foot into the high seas of...

A bit of sunshine every now and then is not bad. Brings some more colour into the overly grey world. While doom and gloom can be fun, a little contrast is good sometimes, otherwise life would be very dreary indeed. But yes, sodd the heat. You've not as bad some other places but being stuck in...

A lot of your sentiments regarding the world are extremely familiar, somewhat disturbingly so. As a side note, even temperatures over 15 can go take a hike. But yes, welcome and keep out of the basement ... unless you wish to become a uh ... volunteer, mnyes, a volunteer.

Was on some for about a year, felt a tiny bit more energetic but at the end of the day that was cancelled out by trying really hard not to smack some random joe over the head with a metal bar. Coffee does not exactly agree with my system at the best of times but at one point made a mistake of...

Mnyes, wish i was at home with the bookshelf next to me. Partial to the Robot series by Asimov, that transitions into the Foundation series. Asimov has many other good stories as well. As mentioned above, A.C.Clarke has some good ones. There is the Shoal Sequence by Gary Gibson, pretty...

Though this may well apply to any age group ... find a people you have things in common with and for the love of whatever you hold dear, hope that you've made some good friends among them. It will most likely help a great deal should you ever find yourself in a bad place, which you most likely...

"Quick, the Commonwealth of Nations is more splintered than ever, the time for invasion is nigh" Now if only their supreme leaders were called The Tallest'

In addition to what others have said about multiple/canon endings, I bring before you the C&C games. The official canon endings have always been the 'good guys win' GDI or Allied. With the possibly only sidetrack of RA1 Soviet ending which allegedly paves way for C&C1 (Tiberium Dawn) (lore wise...
