  2. Russian filmmaker is granted unprecedented access by the DPRK to shoot a propaganda piece. Instead, uses side footage to show how bogus the affair was: I especially like the part of people bringing flowers to the statues of the Great Leader and the Dear Leader, only for them to be returned to the sellers to be sold to the next group that came to pay its respects.
  3. I don't know. Given its history in From Software games, how do you _not_ use the Moonlight as a magic specced character in a Dark Souls game?
  4. Cyberdyne Plans Nasdaq Listing Next Year for U.S. Expansion And if it wasn't tempting fate enough, they're in the business of making robits too.
  5. If you got Dawn of War 2: Retribution, the Necron Lord hero for The Last Stand mode is free for a limited time.
  6. Looks like the SM-6 is pulling double-duty for long range AAW and anti-surface warfare: http://news.usni.org/2016/03/07/navy-sinks-former-frigate-uss-reuben-james-in-test-of-new-supersonic-anti-surface-missile
  7. For those who are still hankering for a STALKER-like game ('til the resurrected GSC Game Worlds comes round to it):
  8. I usually watch LPs on my laptop while playing MMOs, waiting in a lobby or for matchmaking to find a game, or the like. It also ensures I'll never throw away money at a point and click adventure game ever again. I also find them entertaining to watch (or at least listen to, if my boss-sense is tingling) while I'm at work. There are some LPers whose personalities I enjoy immensely (Helloween4545 and the former Freelance Astronauts come to mind for me) and there are others who get me to critically engage with a game (CannibalK9's LP of the Void/Turgor).
  9. For all you old school Adam Reed fans: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xq7Vm4wM2p4
  10. Racially charged topic on this forum? Gee, I wonder who could possibly have written it?
  11. Re-watched the Wall. And remembered how I seriously wished that movie was just animated from start to finish.
  12. This guy's videos are very well-made and make for an informative watch: Currently only concerns itself with the Second World War and the Imperial Roman Army.
  13. I can also name one other spot kgambit was being clever, and it relates to one of its other roles it serves in preparing the battlespace. Also, a London Blitz throwback:
  14. As they say, the Air Force has the smartest enlisted of all the services:
  15. Lolwut? Cost of Russian oil is ~ 10-14 US dollars per barrel. Do you meant they restore their 700% profit level? ...and the 699% gets sliced off the top and pocketed by foremen, gets put into London penthouses by oligarchs, and goes to paying off accountants to cook the books and to keep their mouths shut before taxes get collected from it.
  16. Pop quiz: What is this aircraft? Answers in haiku form (or in an otherwise cleverly roundabout fashion) only, please.

    Moon Landing

    Then there's the fact that the Soviets (who had every reason to discredit the idea that NASA beat them to the punch) had been tracking the mission as well, then there were the Spanish and Australian tracking stations that helped provide continuous communications with the Apollo missions (the latter served as the inspiration for one of my favourite films), then there were the thousands of ham radio enthusiasts who were monitoring the communications, with more than a few would have had radio direction finding equipment.
  18. Practical fusion around the corner... for real this time? https://www.technologyreview.com/s/600712/experimental-fusion-reactor-switched-on-in-germany/ With Lockheed Martin hot on their heels too:
  19. Tricky |)ick gives his two cents on the GOP field: http://mashable.com/2016/01/31/****-nixon-sizes-up-campaign-trump-cruz/?utm_cid=hp-hh-pri#_xewnuMBpmqC
  20. A rather entertaining story of the first SLBM tests from the mid-50s to the early 60s from a Soviet Naval Officer of the time: Source: http://fas.org/nuke/guide/russia/slbm/jpuma010_95001.htm
