Pondering upon the names of Squire and Esquire even though both are essentially the same word.
Squire is more for landlord and therefore older English.
Esquire is more for lawyers and therefore modern English.
Saul Goodman Esquire refers to the fictional, flamboyant criminal defense lawyer from Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, whose real name is Jimmy McGill, a character known for his cheesy tactics, “Better Call Saul!” catchphrase, and serving both criminals and common folk with questionable ethics.
This contrasts with real-life lawyers like Saul B. Goodman, a distinguished insurance recovery attorney at Covington & Burling.
Regardless, I’ve been playing a game, namely Entomorph: Plague of The Darkfall.
Anybody familiar with it?
This contrasts a little with my own boring life so I thought to copy-paste/write something about it to make try to make it just a little more interesting. 
Squire Ray Warrick Versus Saul Goodman Esquire; who would win?
SRW v/s SGE
Regardless the story goes as follows:
The game begins with your character, Squire Ray Warrick, standing directly in front of a giant talking spider, who isn’t pleased to see him.
She teleports him to an island crawling with mosquitoes and zombies.
This intro makes little sense until you’re about half-way through the game…
Resulka’s voice is truly nice:
On the isle of Saltmoon (City of Salt Lake?), people are rejoicing.
The Jagtera, giant insects who were once enslaved by humanity, and who suddenly disappeared many years ago, have returned!
Or have they?
Eventually you join a bunch of rebels, who believe that the island’s Nobles (Illuminati?) are turning the commoners into Jagtera (Sheeple?), and so begins your quest to save the land from being deforested by ravenous beetles – even if it means sacrificing some of your own humanity in the process.
Your entire journey is narrated by the ‘‘Storyteller’’ (Handler?) , who pops up every now and then when you enter a new area or see/do something plot-relevant.
Sometimes his words offer clues to the player, but most of the time they’re just for dramatic effect.
A great idea, and well implemented:
Talk to people and explore to get an idea of where you should go next. There’s no quest log, so pay attention the first time! And while some locations only become accessible later on in the game (as insect hordes clear paths through the jungle), there are some tough areas you can just walk into right from the beginning.
Pro-tip: if the opponents you’re facing seem unfairly strong, you’re probably not supposed to be fighting them yet!
As the story progresses, you’ll face various insect queens: bee (BY FAR the hardest boss in the game, despite being the first!), mosquito, ant, mantis, and spider (arachnid, I know).
Their lairs are mostly inspired by the colonies that they form in real life, for example the ants live in an underground labyrinth of narrow, winding corridors, and identify other ants and their roles by use of scent and pheromones, not by sight – knowledge you can make use of to infiltrate unnoticed!
The music is also phenomenal. I know I’ll be listening to the OST for a long time to come now! Punching, spellcasting and enemy-squishing sound effects are VERY satisfying. Few characters are voiced, only the Storyteller (who I like a lot), his apprentice, and the bug queens (wonderfully creepy).
Does this look ominously satanic or what?
