  1. I hope the new fifth edition revives paper and digital games, instead of limping along with an unloved 4E and a nonexistent video game franchise. I just want to kill draconians in 1080 ... why is that so impossible.
  2. I always seek the advice of DCI Gene Hunt for a proper dose of 'traditionalist inertia'.
  3. Every weapon has a unique sound. I'm surprised the distinction of which is not a point of pride in your boisterous trigger-happy enthusiasm.
  4. Hold the phone. A movie about falling in love ... with your personal computer? Who falls in love with you, too? With the voice of Scarlett Johansson? A computer operating system with the voice of Scarlett Johansson that laughs at your jokes and falls in love with you?! Oh man, okay. Plus Olivia Wilde, Amy Adams, and Rooney Mara? I'm down for some hot silicon personification. metacritic says they told this story well, with a score of 91. The name of the movie ... "her"
  5. No, I'm saying If your life as an American soldier in Vietnam depends on discerning the sound of AK-47s over friendly M-14s or M-16s, there is no way you're gonna maintain and use an AK as your primary weapon in close-quarters company jungle combat.
  6. That ... is news to me, American soldiers keeping and using enemy AKs in Vietnam for any length of time. If you're trained to hear that report as the presence of the enemy ...
  7. I see code pink has mentality members all over the world.
  8. Lady Jaye, female, Marine captain ... field combat ... intelligence ... ass kicking ... heart breaking ... G.I. Joe.
  9. No bonus, either. Et tu, brute ... I am damn done with this stoner, wannabe-hippie hipster bugger-all d-bag sweet FA knob outfit. So anyway I'm anxiously awaiting the specifics of this new Guard Dog venture that was teased with a nod to the 80s ... please be G.I. Joe related. I can't stop watching this year's movie, Retaliation. The baddest ass ninja assassin movie evar!
  10. Doesn't work on an IPS screen, amusingly. Had to boot up my decrepit old laptop with a dodgy TN panel to see it. Ah, okay, good. I could only see a faint outline and thought I was just deficient in some way, again. An alien in a tie and dinner jacket?
  11. Wouldn't that make them LESS evil sounding? And in any case I don't think racist sounds any more innocuous. Hmm, anti-quango. Cliche, in other words. I can't think of a brilliantly original word or phrase, but for sure 'happy birthday' is getting more sinister.
  12. Today I saw two of the most unlikely sites ever, a McLaren on the freeway in the no. 4 lane, and the Chargers beat Denver!
  13. Oh my god what! Take that, horsey pants! YES!
  14. Oh my ... god, Lady Jaye, kicking ass, bitch-slapping Cobra commandos all over the place. Snake Eyes, undefeatable, Storm Shadow, unbeatable. In a duel to the death, and yet not, with a redemption to match. Retaliation! Yo, Joe!
  15. Small, but effective. From one of my fave shows evar, Legend of the Seeker.
  16. A little bit harsh. Makes it sound as if drill instructors churn out robots incapable of self-control, when of course only the opposite can be true. The best reason to stand on the yellow footprints of life is that it connects you forever in a meaningful way to those who came before, particularly those who paid with their lives. That is what Once a Marine, Always a Marine, alludes to ... not a magically indelible attitude of superiority. Flying the flag means you're acknowledging the sacrifice of others, and not, simply to show colors.
  17. They have Volvo and the best World Rally courses in the, er, world--at least from where I'm sitting.
  18. I am gonna be so hip wearing this black Obsidian t-shirt underneath my Pillars of Eternity t-shirt. Shazaam!! And yes, thanks to Obsidian! I would totally open this stout, but it's 22oz and 13% and I haven't eaten since lunch.
  19. I'm speechless with excitement, too. What a kick-ass update! Woot! I don't even mind that the Kickstarter badge isn't showing up, it's not the sexiest moniker. Thanks, Obsidian, love it.
  20. I swear they said the Giants are already kaput. Maybe there was a second condition not met, and maybe I couldn't hear very well in the din of San Diego's likely final victory of the season , but I thought Fox said NYG were eliminated already.
  21. Just finished Ep. 1 of Sherlock, Season 2 ... bloody good telly, this. Only three episodes per series, but 90 minutes each. It makes Elementary look a bit staid, wan, and bland. Highly recommended.
  22. Oh, pedantic pants and his wand of condescension are right, if the backer portal were critical, it would have been live months ago.
  23. Maybe Tuesday's patch will be like magic-fairy fix-it dust.
  24. I was wrong, it is not a PC port to PS4/XB1 ... they employed two other studios to rebuild textures, add in TressFX, rebuild Lara's head completely ... This game on the PC was very graphically intensive, so it'll be interesting to see how the "HD remake" for next-gen consoles compares.
  25. A few days after the new year, maybe. I can't imagine it's wise to release a critical project component with only one work-week left in the year, basically.
