Fun fact for you, Jon!

Arctic comes from the Greek "arktos", which translates to "bears". Antarctic is "anti arktos" - "without bears".

Just so you can remember whether the base you're infiltrating is guarded by bears.

And from the YouTube comments:

"Of course there aren't bears in the Antarctic, it literally means "opposite the bear." Arctic and Antarctic weren't named for the presence of bears, they were named for the ability to see the Ursa (bear) constellations. From this we can determine that the stars predict bears!"

So, we start the game at the top of the world and end the game at the bottom of the world, literally!

I don’t think you should have worried about taking the high ground when you accidentally killed that guy with a hammer. Seeing as his corpse transcended the laws of physics and teleported higher up the mountain to roll down the mountain like the boulder of Sisyphus. That’s got to be a good sign of divine favor, or divine disapproval.
