Well I'd trade all of those for a nice engraved Colt SAA.

Why is everything in cinemas today borderline un-watchable. Every time I go I feel like I paid someone to kick me in the nuts.

I do wonder at how they come up with a design of the 'look' of the gun. US and Russian weapons generally keep looking the same though, just with rails and foregrips. Hm...some one needs to put rails on a Mosin-Nagant. Actually the Israeli Tavor is rather similar. And then there's the experimental US army X-23 or whatever its called, a fully modular rifle. And the good old Austrian Steyr Aug. Its all derivations of a similar bullpup design. They don't look exactly alike but they follow a similar overall trend worldwide. There's probably an effort to make it look different on purpose so that it can stand out and be easy to remember. There is a necessity to change things around to keep the sales going even though everyone knows that assault rifles have hit a dead end a long time ago. You'll see more of these designs in hollywood movies than in actual war. The one assault rifle I'd like to have that every Swiss who has served in the army has is SIG 550: It used to be (still might be) the most expensive assault rifle due to quality Swiss manufacturing. (and perhaps over-inflated SIG prices). I really like the overall shape though.

Dostoyevsky gave a pretty accurate depiction of what would happen to the son of God were he to return.

That's the saddest part. It looks like a cheap chinese sci-fi toy gun but it can still kill you easy as pie. Its like being savaged by a rubber duck, you're left with no dignity at all in addition to being dead.

Sold a Mauser 98 FR-8 308Win to buy a longer version (not the carbine version) of this rifle: As much as I love black tacticool modern rifles, nothing beats old simple military surplus warhorses, wood and steel, they just work and they're on the very top of my ''aesthetically pleasant things'' - list. Completely agree! The prize of my collection is a US Army issue Springfield 1903. My dad bought it at a surplus store in the 50's. I won't even shoot is anymore. It's on display in my living room. I remember watching this guy's videos on YT. He's quite interesting to listen to. I think the new generation of polymer weapons is as ugly and crude as it gets. Sorry, wood and steel, preferably blued, all the way. S&W model 17, Ruger Vaquero and AK 47* . Case closed. *all of them hernia inducing

I see, so no real good reason then I bought 2-3 keys for Team Fortress 2 crates (lottery type curiosity) and nothing before or since. I'd never buy DLC. Usually the price of the game is what i'm willing to spend on it. a teaspoon sized helping of content does nothing for me either way. Especially not later when I'm already done with the game.

This George Zimmerman thing
Actually the most interesting aspect of this case is how things quickly spiral out of control in the US when race becomes an element. Russia Today is covering plenty of protests all over the US, some of them violent.

Then I can wholeheartedly recommend you the book ''in Stahlgewittern'' (Storm of steel), the enthralling diary of Ernst Jünger, a (slightly fanatic) German troop officer in WWI ( ISBN 0-86527-310-3) - yes, there exists a translated version of this book, I think Amazon international sells them. One hell of an exciting book, he served in WWI from the beginning to its very end. Bruce, whats your second language? There exists tons of good German literature so its definitely a language worth learning. I'm a lucky bastard and can read manuscripts and books written by both sides of the conflict. I read a translated part (20 something pages) for my Peace Studies course. He left a strong impression .

Non-romance dynamics in games
Yep, porn actress. Her filmography is as long as my forearm. Sad, really. Okay so she was in the Porn industry, that's not a bad thing in my opinion. In fact now I would now say her tattoo's make more sense. I like to watch the odd adult entertainment. Do you know her stage name ? How can it not be bad for a teenager to sell him/herself for money? That's a choice one is likely to regret for the rest of their life, made at a point where one is most likely not mature enough to realize the full cost such decision entails.

Good old Games
That was my experience with Outcast as well. I looked at all the picturesque vistas and though: if only I weren't able to count the voxels on the screen I'd enjoy this so much. There's an other-worldliness about that game that resonated very strongly with me, dunno why that is. If I were to make a game, I'd definitely try to achieve that sort of atmosphere. I thought Mass Effect could offer a similar experience but it ended up being very safe and familiar, no novelty in it - the universe was more instantly familiar than a pair of worn slippers. And with too much killing, not really focused on adventuring and exploration. So yeah, I fully understand what you're trying to say.

So that why you're still single? What do you mean "still"? I mean, I get days when I'd like to settle down, but those are few and far between. You were getting all soppy over some chick a while ago, I thought you were planning to stop baiting chicks with the big screen tv and PS3's blu ray playback and grow up. :D

Well the other part of the argument is that today we can fly through the air at supersonic speeds. Yes its all science, but until you understand how the damn thing works, for all intents and purposes its magic, or god makes it so.
