this is a short in-between post while i gear up for the actual adler/bell and harrow/case comparison, but just an interesting note.

we all know about adler watching you/bell from the red room, right? but did you know he also follows you to the fenced-off area, too?

when i first played cold war, his behavior in this briefing stuck out to me. the way he shifts his weight, changing from foot to foot, looking between his table and the evidence board. it almost seems nervous, fidgety. it feels awkward on him, and it’s awkward to watch. when i was trying to record footage from the safehouse briefings for this miniature post, i thought i’d come out of it making a whole “lightning in a bottle” analogy for adler. but then you run into an issue-there is no other moment like this in cold war. at least, not in the briefings, not in the same way he acts here.

it was strange to me. why does he behave so differently here compared to any other time? his movements are so orchestrated, composed. this is past odd habits, this feels like a moment of weakness. he doesn’t breathe down your neck this severely at any other point in the game. why?

and it clicks in. this is the first briefing of the entire game. this is your first true moment as bell. before this, all he had known of them was a spiteful, frustratingly stubborn soviet and then an empty husk, trapped in a room where he’d have to strong-arm them into psychological submission with drugs and his own personal memories. this is his first time seeing bell out in the wild, moving of their own accord, not separated by restraints or reinforced glass. he’s nervous because of bell.

the reason this is the only time adler appears this way is because he’s reaffirmed of his leash on them after fracture jaw, after the memory exercise. hudson echoes this statement, too, as much as he is untrusting of them, for obvious reasons.

and how interesting is it, that he never shows this apprehension ever again.

Hopefully I'm not forgetting anything- commissions open :)

[CASE]: What are you putting together?

Troy Marshall - Heavy Hitter II

In one of the reveal trailers, there was a shot of Troy with a baseball bat that stuck in my mind. In part, because in Cold War when they introduced the baseball bat it was part of Woods' Heavy Hitter Bundle. And since Troy is Woods' protegé I thought it would be so cool to show him carrying Woods' old bat from Cold War.

Also, as I've been playing Zombies I've heard Troy make at least one baseball reference. Can you imagine him and Frank going to a Phillies game together?

Ok, I'm a little late but I got there! Also, I know flirting with Jason will only get you dead faster but try telling her that.

After Frank got out of Walter Reed, the news was that I put him in that chair. I was the one who compromised his Panama mission in ‘89. Got Hudson and Mason killed. Woods injured… All bullshit.
