I was about 12 missions into EDF6 when my understanding of what I was playing completely changed. I tend to go into games I’m reviewing blind; I want my eyes fresh and my mind open. Show me a trailer or two, and I’m good. I’ve played Earth Defense Force games before, so I knew the score: giant insects (shout-outs to EDF 2025), alien frogs, unmatched scale, and absurd dialogue. I was expecting a camp masterpiece. I was not expecting that. As I sat down to write this review, I debated how much I should say about EDF6’s story, but with an opening like this, I suppose I have to say something. If you’d like to go in blind (and I heavily recommend that you do), skip the next two paragraphs.

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.
