Tom Clancy was maybe not the best writer - actually, he was kind of bad - but I am strangely fond of a couple of his books and I genuinely love some of the movies and videogames made of them over the years.
The Hunt for Red October is packed with terrific actors - Alec Baldwin, Sean Connery, Sam Neill, Tim Curry, Scott Glenn, James Earl Jones - giving great performances in one of the smartest and most humane thrillers ever made.
Rainbow Six brought hard-hitting tactikill realism into our basements years before the deaths of thousands made it cool. It was great because it supported multiple modes of play - you could be like me and plan elaborate operations in the briefing room, setting up triggers and call signs so that your AI squad would complete the mission for you with you just sat back and watched and felt like an incredible badass. Or you could be like me when I got frustrated with that and just solo the missions as Ding Chavez, who had maximum stats in everything.
Splinter Cell was the spy-ops game with the somewhat less silly story and hyper-gruff Michael Ironside performance. Sliding down a zipline while machinegunning evil Georgians - er, evil
Russian Georgians - was addictive.
Now comes The Division, penned by Tom Clancy® from
beyoonnnnd the graaaave. New York is ground zero for the release of a deadly smallpox pandemic by terrorists. Most of the populace has died or fled, and Manhattan is ruled by lawless gangs backed by an evil private military corporation and also probably the Russians because
T O M C L A N C Y. It's up to the secret agents of The Division - ordinary people leading ordinary lives until their special signal watch rings, which I kind of like, it has a bit of a superhero flavor - to take back the Manhattan wasteland one block at a time. This involves teaming up with your friends, getting into rad tactical battles, and discovering better clothes with which to play pretty princess dress-up.

The riddle game is bread and circuses to distract the populace from our abject oppression by fickle and uncaring oligarchs

Surprise! I'm the even-more-radical faction that surpasses and overthrows you and makes everything terrible for a few years!
No. I don't know who she is. I'm happy with our beloved leaders.

Surprise! I'm the even-more-conservative faction that not only supports the status quo, but wants the entrenched powers to be even more entrenched by violently suppressing anyone not already in my camp!

First they came for Hakkes, and I did not speak out, for I was not Hakkes.
Then we had tea and cake and everything was fine, because Hakkes was gone.
The End.

This is a crazy radical idea!
Look the UK has had a distasteful history of being on the dick end of revolutions...this is your chance to be beloved in history for overthrowing the yoke of our oppressors

This idea sounds nice and sensible.
This idea wants to undo everything the revolution has achieved, you traitor!
I needa go there before its all ruined
