GoldenEye Stuff...

"Rosika The Killer Cleaning Lady"
(one of 64 characters available via Button Code)

HOUSEKEEPING
Attempting to tidy up some of the many files in my GoldenEye-related folders...

Rosika is an "unused" character, similar to the Female Scientist. (Referenced in memory as "fat tech woman")

There's also a company called "Rosika Enterprises" that manufactures and/or distributes cleaning products. Coincidence?

POTATO GUN
Also found this image (saved ten years ago).
The Rocket Launcher, with Russian text, translated.
Unsure if this exists elsewhere on the web.

Always thought the standard text was "aim away from face".

Absolutely hate bringing my own potatoes to the battlefield.
Can we re-wire this thing to make French fries?

Also reminds me of a funny movie line:
"The fate of the planet is in the hands of a bunch of retards I wouldn't trust with a potato gun"
-Armageddon (1998)

GENERAL KNOWLEDGE...

General Ourumov bravely stands in front
of his troops and challenges Commander Bond...

Also have a whole bunch of "beta" GoldenEye screenshots that need to go somewhere.

General Ourumov appearing in a different part of the Silo mission than we encounter him in the final game.

He's also depicted without his briefcase. Doesn't really mean anything...

(We've also seen an abundance of "Mr. Blonde" guards being used in Perfect Dark during the testing stages)

Still, this snapshot of Ourumov is probably the most interesting "new" image that wasn't featured in the original "Beta" pages.

Pretty sure it's authentic - Even though he appears to be firing an automatic weapon... Just wonder why this screenshot wasn't floating around the web 25 years ago.

Perhaps General Ourumov would attempt to grab the briefcase and run? (Unless you hit him, similar to Xenia on the Train?)

Still personally think there was a connection to the DAT and the Briefcase. (OBJECTIVE C: Obtain Telemetric Data)
The Briefcase of course does nothing in the final version of the game.

Rareware stated that in early drafts, Ourumov's Briefcase could have contained information on the Pirate helicopter, or crucial details about the GoldenEye satellite. (Possible information regarding the GoldenEye satellite seems to sum up what the "DAT" is)

Behind the scenes: In the Action Block for Ourumov (0415) the game also checks if the player has completed the objective by collecting that particular object....
