Longtime Readers™ already know of my affection for Rebellion's "Sniper Elite" series of video games. If you like to relax by killin' Nazis, there's few games better.
Which is why I wanted to let you know that for the next couple of days Sniper Elite 5 is on sale on Steam for $5
@jalefkowit you had me at "shooting nazis in their testicles"
@faraiwe In some missions you can get pretty creative with it

@jalefkowit GAAAADDAMN this is better than I expected =D
I used to play Project IGI (and sequel), for the joy of getting douchestacks ligned up and have a single shot from a Dragunov make their life hard.
Not that the Dragunov would actually do that, but it was fun, nonetheless. I know of no real round from a shoulder fired weapon that would actually do that, but LOL.
@faraiwe Every modern Sniper Elite game has a DLC mission where you kill Hitler, and the ultimate achievement is to do it with a testicle shot. (It's hard, because Rebellion only gives him one testicle)

@jalefkowit see,problem is, I was taught to shoot by actual snipers (Aaaahmeeee B-4 ASI designator),who were retired and bored. I never got to their level, but it spoiled every make-believe fiction about long range bang, for me.
Outside of the Op Flashpoint later games, in hardest setting, not many FPSs had near-real ballistic physics
I may make an exception for this one. Nad shot, boom.
@faraiwe Oh yeah, this is for sure not an Actual Sniping Simulator. An Actual Sniping Simulator would be one shot followed by four hours of finding new cover
@jalefkowit ...and diapers.
@faraiwe They always leave that part out of the recruitment brochure
Before you ask: yes, this is the series where you get extra points if you shoot the Nazis in their testicles
