Things you will always defend.

I usually, if I chime in at all, have something to say about animals and animal rights.

I will always defend animals, because they have no voice of their own, I suppose.

It's a hard row to hoe, but it usually comes before almost all other topics to defend.

I will probably always defend Goldeneye as having stood the test of time.

Don't get me wrong, I recognise as much as anyone that the multiplayer is -by modern standards- positively barren by comparison, but the singleplayer is still some of the finest, expertly crafted gameplay of the FPS genre. People tend to forget that the game even has a singleplayer, let alone that it's one of the tightest, most fluid controlling, challenging and rewarding singleplayer games out there.

Oh, and for anyone about to say it's just nostalgia goggles; shut up. Just shut up. That label immediately assumes someone hasn't played the game for years. Well I play it often and always have. I had a good 3 hour session with it just today. It is just as fun now as it was when it came out, and only ever gets better compared to current shooters -in particular current Bond shooters- that fail to deliver as complete a package as it did.

I tried GoldenEye for the first time a couple years ago and my first thoughts were "this seems like a primitive version of Timesplitters".

And then I wanted to play Timesplitters instead. So I'm wondering if you've ever played those games.

I didn't get to play a ton of the single player, but I think I tried it.

Goldeneye pretty much is the forerunner to Timesplitters. Half the people who made Goldeneye went on to make the Timesplitters games, which is why they play so similarly to each other.

In some ways, both are more primitive than the other. Timesplitters, especially later games, blows Goldeneye's multiplayer out of the water, but with the possible exception of Future Perfect, Timesplitters has never had a solo campaign even close to the quality of Goldeneye and it's spiritual sucessor Perfect Dark.

So yes, I have played them, and I enjoy Timesplitters very much to this day

I still prefer Goldeneye for my singleplayer jollies however.

Also feminism, which to me means opposing unfair gender discrimination of all kinds.

Then wouldn't that be equality? Feminism always sounds "women>men" to me, equality is a quick way to say everybody (male, female, straight, gay, a-sexual, bi, black, white, Asian, brown etc).

Which is what I will defend, equality. I don't see why any one person should be considered any less for whatever they are, whether it's gay people marrying or transsexuals not being afraid to say "I was X but I am now Y".

Did I just make a chromosome pun?
