@VancouverPD Can we assume that you are ensuring intersections are cleared?

[Graham Douglas @gograhamdouglas]

@PennyDaflos Is this an omicron story or a delta story? My understanding is that illness from delta would be weeks before ICU. Deaths could be 30+ days from the infection date. Is drumming up the deaths somewhat misleading as it pertains to omicron? Omicron isn't the killer that delta was.

[Graham Douglas @gograhamdouglas]

@PennyDaflos 40-50% of the hospitalizations are incidental. I know you know what that means. It's misleading to throw out the data without mentioning this fact. Those at risk every flu season are at risk with omicron. Are hospitals packed? I missed the report showing "hanging by a thread".

@drdoak Shields didn't have the same value. A bar opposed to a segmented shield display that had a gameplay element to it. A bar really didn't say much or provide a gameplay use. Of course with no temp-invincibility in PD the shield almost became a moot point.

@martinhollis I wrote a letter complaining (twice) to Rare about Aztec level. That is was BS because dropping down made the level impossible to finish. Yes, the glitch in the top room should have been a give away, but try now. Let me know in a couple years when you complete the lower run.

@martinhollis Control reminded me of an 80's video game Beach Head 2. Having to kill the baddies coming down the stairs left and right. Intensity but a very key gameplay element that has a scent of familiarity.

@AndreSegers It was never about "cheating". Split-screen was like a chess match. Single-screen is about happenstance. Luck. Less about skill. Calling it "cheating" says a shallow depth of knowledge of the multiplayer game.

@AndyPlaytonic We had 4 televisions, controller extension cables, Gameshark, and a vast amount of custom weapon combinations that went along with single-screen multiplayer. Of course no radar always on. Favorites included: LTK with All Snipers, LTK with All Phantoms. Just pure joy.

@OoPAvgm @n64thstreetgifs @N64Memories @N64Today @Official64Mate I think I actually have a copy of this on my book shelf.

[Graham Douglas @gograhamdouglas]

@WilliamLorimer7 @drdoak That's nothing. You should see my controller(s).

[Graham Douglas @gograhamdouglas]

@drdoak @RealKLobb The Klobb was my ultimate "finisher offer". If you had half-bar of life? I will spray you with Klobb bullets and ultimately you will perish. A humiliating way to go indeed.

@martinhollis Talking about GE XBLA. Seeing full visuals on levels like Cradle is quite a sight. Many a video out now. What joy 4-player LTK All Snipers on Cradle would bring. Bring it on. Spent many a night back in the day playing that combo via single screens and Gameshark.

[Graham Douglas @gograhamdouglas]

@martinhollis Lots of videos of this masterpiece on YouTube, XBLA version. Not sure if that angers you or not. I doubt you can comment publicly. The reason for the multiplayer brilliance is the head-to-head ability, level size brilliance, pace. 4K environments don't matter. 2-player FPS = MIA.

[Graham Douglas @gograhamdouglas]

@martinhollis It's all good. I've remained a believer despite my age. I'm not sure where I would start with questions. I wrote a recent extensive letter to Nintendo on how they could monetize GoldenEye multiplayer in today's world. FHD GoldenEye at 60FPS is a thing. Anyways, I'm at GE Forever.

[Graham Douglas @gograhamdouglas]

@CompAnimalPsych @keithbaldrey Tacky was the word that came to my mind about the bookshelf.

[Graham Douglas @gograhamdouglas]

@Puglaas Twitter isn't much of a platform for change. So what are you contributing to fixing problems?

[Graham Douglas @gograhamdouglas]

@LT_MAVER1CK @IGN You don't know squat about this subject. Move along.

[Graham Douglas @gograhamdouglas]

@martinhollis Martin if ever you want to chit chat about GoldenEye I would love the opportunity. I had (and honestly still have) grandiose thoughts about the game, its mechanics and multiplayer longevity. If this games lives again? I owe so much to this game. Please humor me!

@richardzussman Richard, did you ever hear of this story: Unvaccinated B.C. mom with COVID-19 gives birth while on life support. Curious why when other mainstream BC news rooms covered this, just crickets from the so-called #1 newscast. You guys pushing the vaccine agenda yet can't bother?

[Graham Douglas @gograhamdouglas]

@JM_Whiteside @FNESC Do we want to further divide our communities?
