The Count of Monte Cristo is a sort of 19th century French Batman. Great book, but the transition from Act 1 to Act 2 is jarring. Dumas does not include the "transition" period to the Count- Dantes immediately transforms and it's not believable. But I kind of take it as it is.

It seems like the next big urban battle is not happening yet. The Ukrainians are retreating from the city

Russian strategic bomber (their version of US B-52, also a very old plane) with SU-30 fighter escort. This bomber has seen limited use in the Ukraine, in particular the bombing of Mariupol

I heard the Top Gun sequel is great. It also has a SU-57 vs F-14 LOL. F-14 is such a cool looking plane despite being obsolete.

I'm about a quarter way into my review of Witcher 2. TBH I do not like the game very much. I like Witcher 1 way more. In that sense W1 and W3 have more in common. I think they made some strange stylistic choices for this game. They chose detailed but dull and claustrophobic environments that are rather linear. Also the improvements in graphics lead to more detailed character models but the character models themselves have an "uncanny valley"/creepy look to them that is highly distracting. The game design seems to be influenced, negatively...by Assasin's creed/God of war franchises. The combat gameplay is also rather standard for the time (2011) but badly outdated now. Also, the voice acting isn't very good and inferior to W3. The writing of the game is very different from W1. While W1 is very simplified, and punchy, it ends up being entertaining and integral to what's happening. W2 dialogue is excessively expository, like the netflix show and rather boring. Real people do not go into long, detailed rants about everything that's happening. Geralt is actually..boring in this game while he was badass in W1.

This is the Russian version of the US A-10 Warhog- the SU-25 ground attack fighter, heavily employed in the Ukraine.

At times fate muddles our path And life turns toilsome, hard to bear Yet all deserve peace and respite in Death. Tormented spirit! Forget your wrath! Forget your grief!

I had great plans Nobody understood me Oh, the opportunites I had..

Sleepy small town cops? I don't follow this shooting but that's the first thing that comes to mind. Most of them are fat, like they take sieta everyday after a big lunch !
