Was not expecting that

I've been playing Metro: Last Light recently, and well...

Spoiler for a secret after the cut.

I found Lenin!

The worst bit? I'd totally buy that somebody stole Lenin's suit but still cared enough to redress his corpse, because man does this series have some weirdos in it.

Think it would have still been a cooler 'oh fuck, is that...?!' moment if they'd splurged on an unique corpse texture, but still a really awesome little Easter-egg for history nuts.

As a history buff, that's just awesome!

Metro is rather awesome in general with getting the landmarks right, even if they play a bit loose with distances and geography.

For example, Moscow State Library, in RL and in-game:

I've heard all the outright stations are based on real ones as well, even if it can be hard to tell with the whole 'twenty years after the apocalypse' thing. Really cool stuff.

Why, oh why, can I not "fave" blog posts?

Have a rhetorical fave anyway.

That and a up/down vote system would be rather neat for gauging interest in things, actually.
