  1. You probably have no idea what you're talking about. Hold on. Let's check. Hands up, any commandos on the forum? Not I, but everything I was told in the military and have seen in semi-realistic military fiction is that you always shoot for the chest/center of mass so that you have a much better chance of hitting stuff. Aiming center mass is good when shooting at a distance but if your opponent is only a few feet away... I was no commando but we often did firing drills where we would aim for the head while moving. It's not much of a stretch to me for someone with much more extensive combat training to get a head shot in a split second at that range.
  2. This may just be the most pathetic thing I've ever read. I beat that game.
  3. I just got an email saying my pre-order was delayed until May 31... oh well, as long as I get it eventually
  4. Classic!
  5. Idlewild Soundtrack - Life is a musical ...what?
  6. District 9 - It was... different. I like different and it was overall awfully awesome BUT it lacked that certain... I don't know what. Nice previews though, looking forward to Zombieland, Legion and The Fourth Kind.
  7. I remember one time I was visiting my mom in the hospital and she was telling me how the ghosts her sister and brother had come to visit her just before I was there. She also thought the machine that goes ping was saying Bin Laden... so, I blamed the whole thing on the drugs they were giving her.
  8. Kings of Leon - Cold Desert
  9. I also had a somewhat similar experience a few years back. I was in Iraq and my wife at the time was increasingly distant and just all around different towards me. I tried talking to her about it several times but I never really got anywhere so one day I resigned myself to dirty deed of checking her email. I knew her password as she did mine, we were married after all but I had never checked her email before and to this day I still feel guilty about it. When I found out she was cheating I confronted her about it and even though I felt justified that I was right in my assumptions and I'm glad that I found out sooner rather than later, I'm not proud of what I did.
  10. The nurses that I know either work 5 8 hour shifts or 3 12 hours shifts a week depending on their schedule and work environment. 70k is a bit on the high side but I guess it all depends where you are. Is being a nurse something that you really want to do or is it the thought of making good money for only 3 days of work a week that attracts you? If it's just the money and you don't mind staying in school then be a surgeon, that's what my nurse friends tell me is the best pay for the least work.
  11. This is great news! The first MechWarrior game is what introduced me to PC gaming. Now I just have to wait for them to announce their Shadowrun game.
  12. Bike handles. Damn. Beat me to it.
  13. You, sir, are my hero.
  14. Watchmen and Traitor. I had never even heard of the Watchmen until this movie came out but I really liked it. Traitor... it's got Don Cheadle and Don Cheadle = Awesome.
  15. That's the same way I have always done defense.
  16. All of his craziness aside, his music was a big part of my childhood. RIP
  17. Too drastic, try boxer briefs first... baby steps.
  18. What's Legend of the Seeker about? I've never heard of it. I watched Nomad last night. It could have been a lot better but it wasn't bad. I'm also not very picky ... and it's in Kazakhstan. Greatest country in the world All other countries are run by little girls Kazakhstan number one exporter of potassium Other countries have inferior potassium
  19. I think it's stupid to ask Microsoft to provide the software of their rivals and I don't see a problem with them including IE as long as it is optional and can be removed. Honestly I don't think many people would be able to even get another browser without first having one to go to a website and download it.
  20. I was going to suggest Baldur's Gate Nights but it doesn't really roll off the tongue
  21. dude, we are already here
  22. I'd prefer something more alike to Deep Space: Nine. Getting thrown on some remote planet/space station and dealing with pretty much everything ranging from political intrigue, over-sexed Betazoids to an alien threat from an unknown part of the galaxy for instance the obscure Tholian Assembly or the Breen. A Deep Space 9 type scenario would be my first choice as well but I think something resembling the original series would be an easier sell due to the movie's success.
  23. You are my hero. ...and the guy who said Shadowrun, you're in my wolf pack.
  24. Tim Kang, the guy who plays Cho, is hilarious on the show. It's like his character should be on Dragnet instead.
