Jesus Christ, It’s Another Immortal Goddamn MacLeod
Oh, for fuck’s sake. I was wondering how the trailer for the upcoming Highlander video game got past me last week when I watched and discovered that it stars yet another, totally different, but still totally immortal member of the goddamn MacLeod clan, and clearly someone (or something!) was trying to protect me from its stupidity. You’d think that having the whole of human history to choose from, someone might think to try another era, another nation, even a different Scottish clan to create a character. Apparently not.
