There should be a game where you play as an English Speaker trying to escape Quebec. English dictionaries can be health packs and anyone speaking French would be a Quebec Language Nazi.

Killing Nazis, fighting religious fanaticism the focus of upcoming video games
As the U.S. grapples with white nationalists rallying in the streets and the violence that followed the protests in Charlottesville, Va., a couple of soon-to-be-released video games are feeling disturbingly timely for some gamers.
Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, created by the Swedish-based Machine Games, is the hotly anticipated latest instalment in the widely popular series that lets gamers annihilate Nazis — which the game's website calls "everybody's favourite pastime."
So what's new about Nazis as bad guys? The fact that they're in 1960s America, and the Nazi flag is proudly draped along the city's streets — streets where men in Nazi uniforms are fraternizing with robed members of the Ku Klux Klan.
It's a world away from the more traditional Second World War background, where fighting the racist villains takes place on the beaches of Normandy. It's also hitting close to home for some gamers.
"The fact that there is an overlap between Wolfenstein II and reality is absolutely horrifying to me, especially as a Jewish person," said Eric Weiss, a Toronto-based video games editor for pop culture site Dork Shelf.
A 'necessary reminder'
Wolfenstein II, due out in October, is not the only upcoming video game to ring true.
Weiss also points to Ubisoft's Far Cry 5, scheduled to launch in February, which depicts a rural Montana town under the control of a religious doomsday cult. Players will meet and team up with the town's disenfranchised, some of whom feel abandoned by their leaders — a theme that permeated last year's U.S. election.

Basing the action in an American state is particularly striking since previous versions in the Far Cry franchise have been set on fictional tropical islands or in mountainous regions under the control of anonymous dictators.
According to Weiss, the game sends a message: "We have radicals and extremists right here at home, and right now they're marching in the streets, trying to exert control over small-town America."
But for video games to engage in such charged political themes at all — even those that depict the villains as outlandish caricatures — is "a good thing, because it's something we have to deal with right now," Weiss said, calling it a "necessary reminder."

why is this a canadian politics thread, mentalfloss? get a life, this is not a canadian political issue.
I remember meeting my Grandmas Brother. He killed real Nazis while he served in the Devils Brigade, not this Mickey Mouse pixal shit. I shook his hand when i was knee high to a duck, he was a real hero to me.
This is what a real Nazi killer looks like. You can finger bang that controller all day and you wont even come close to him.

Looks like redneck city. Hillbillies with all the latest toys, what's not to believe. Might as well give them a criminal enterprise that involves lots of 'hay-wagons'. Exploit the mountain's resources in an organic manner. (as well as herbs at the Farmer's markets)
No kidding. You'd shit your pants and run away like a little girl if you ran into a real one.
You're an XBox Hero, got stars in your eyes.
X-box? That's too grown up! try non(con)tendo
He is a real george sorass brand national socialist one.
If my father and his brothers were here (real Nazi killing veterans) they would be appalled at the FAKE news nazis and the fake news nazi killers.

You just mad that my hero is a real life person who did real life things and your hero is a customizable character in a video game doing imaginary things.
Thank you

Hey, tough guy gamer wannabees! Do you know what day today is? It's an anniversary .... a 100th anniversary.
In a hell-on-Earth called the Ypres Salient, one hundred years ago today: November 6th, 1917, the Canadian Corps finally reached and captured the Belgian town of Passchendaele (or what was left of it, which wasn't much). British and Commonwealth troops had tried to take the town for two and a half years with 275,000 British casualties (220,000 German casualties).
The Canadians were moved into the sector on October 16th, back to almost the identical lines that they had occupied back in April 1915 during their heroic stand in the face of the first poison gas attack and panicked French African troops abandoning the line around them (2nd Battle of Ypres).
Within three weeks, the Canadians took the objective that had eluded the British, Aussies, Kiwis for 30 months.

Any of you associated with the Princess Pat's regiment knows the story. The finally fought alongside their fellow Canadians during this battle and it was particularly devastating to them.

I'm expecting a lot of blah-blah about futility, yadda-yadda. Yes, it's true It was a waste of humanity. It was not our fight to begin with but you should still remember with pride what those callow Canadian farm boys achieved in the direst of circumstances.

Soros fund manager raped, beat Playboy models, $27M lawsuit alleges
The man best known for losing more money on Wall Street than anyone else before the 1987 stock market crash stands to lose $27 million more and what’s left of his reputation, if a federal court believes the allegations in an explosive new lawsuit filed against him and a gaggle of so-called conspirators in Brooklyn federal court on Thursday.
In the complaint, three Florida women, filing under pseudonyms, have accused 62-year-old Howard Rubin of leading an organized human-trafficking ring in which he allegedly employed women to lure models to his $8 million Manhattan Penthouse under the guise of a photoshoot or companionship.
Once there, the women claim, he led them into a sex-dungeon where he subjected them to sexual assault, rape, false imprisonment, and beatings so severe they would lose consciousness and one had to undergo reconstructive surgery to repair her breasts.
The women—who also say Rubin and his co-conspirators threatened them to keep quiet following the alleged assaults—filed their suit under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, a law originally created for prosecution of members of the mob.
According to the lawsuit, Rubin’s scheme went like this:

It reminds me of Wolfenstein series. U know that video game series, guys? I like this game very much. They incredibly show us how WW2 in another reality happens. It seems that there are people that wanted to know the answer to the true story of the main goal of Hitler. Btw, this game actually reminds me of CS: GO. The combat tactics are a lil same as in Wolfenstein, but I think that the only problem that CS: GO has is difficulty in the raising of the profile. I spent two years in order to get my rank up, however, my IT friend has recommended me of the cs go boost service that can raise the profile lvl pretty effective and not expensive. This is a thing that I liked actually, so I decided to hire the service. Since then I'm still working with the raising and I guess it's better to use the services that can make the life easier instead of wasting a lot of personal time on the things that u don't want to see. No?
