My experience with tapes does not match yours. I've seen both audio and VCR tapes unspool by playing or trying to remove them from the player.
bagels··on 'No One Lives Forever' turns 25 and you still can't buy it legitimately
Game was really good. Fun gameplay, fun dialog. I played through it multiple times. I can't think of many games that I've done that for.

If you haven't seen it, and aren't inclined to play it, there are some good playthroughs on youtube to get a sense of what it's about.

Seems appropriate to me. Person was holding a gun while doing a robbery which greatly amplifies the danger inherent in the crime they were doing.

On the flip side, I knew someone who interrupted a car burglary and was murdered by the burglar. Imagine what might happen if someone came upon the guy you know of who was doing a robbery while holding a stolen gun?

The person you knew made a lot of choices that led to this, any of which had they not chosen to do would have led to not being an armed robber: don't do a robbery, don't steal a gun, don't do a robbery while holding a gun.

bagels··on Starship's Tenth Flight Test
A little more longevity and one more engine restart, unless the suborbital is very suborbital, then it also means a lot more delta v. It doesn't seem that far away at all.
