Hm, only our counter terrorism unit has APCs, and they're pretty much MAN trucks modified to be able to withstand assault rifle fire. They're no worse than regular trucks in terms of maintenance, well, perhaps a little, but they can be repaired and serviced at every regular MAN depot. Also very much not used to cruise around or appear tough.

Looks like he's trying to keep the mal aria away. Like old school plague doctors, just with less style.

Kane's subtle reminder that you should be playing Nod, not GDI. :nod:

Heh, this would be one for the unpopular gaming opionions thread but I never cared much for TA or any of its offshoots. The allure of early RTS games was never the gameplay for me, but everything else. Sadly the genre evolved into being all gameplay and no story, what with the success of MOBAs.

You could use Galaxy for that. It's all in one launcher, at least. It'll still start Origin, Steam, uPlay or Epic in the background but you'd have only one, neat library.

Every time I see Kane all I can think of is that he's actually the biblical Cain and an alien that just wants to leave earth.

I'm pretty sure Space Force is a hell lot more fun to watch if you aren't living in the US. I agree it is seldom something to laugh out loud, but it is really amusing.

So, hm, @Gorth, you're from Denmark, then went on to win Microsoft awards and are an ERP developer. You don't happen to have worked at Damgaard, Navision or the combined NavisionDamgaard at some point in your life, have you? Or... say, still work with their product(s)? (Pretty please just say no)

You should really look at Sexy Losers strip #016. Can't link (very much NSFW), rules and all, but way back when it first came out it had me snorting coke out of my nose.

As evidenced (not by a bear though) by Roy Horn being mauled by his white lion just because it felt like it. That's what wild animals do. Heck, happens with domesticated animals just as well. Cows are vicious killers.

In other words you whacked off to cartoons? xD

Caligula would be a more apt comparison, just substitute traitors with immigrants and deportations for executions. Champion of the people indeed. Plus I'm pretty sure that Trump suffered from brain fever as well, and if he actually manages to lose to Biden (which I doubt, but stranger things have happened) he'd also only have a four year reign, and any given character in his ridiculous entourage qualifies as a horse. Trump's not entirely wrong to claim there are issues with social media. It's just deliciously ironic coming from him. Great entertainment.

That one I really wanted to strangle J. K. Rowling for. Harry Potter sure sneaked a LOT with his invisibility cloak. I just looks... wrong. Wrong, I say. WRONG.

Nice save.

The truth about beer is thus: It is great in Central Europe with the exception of Germany. For some reason they managed to convince the entire world that the stuff they're selling is good. Anyway, should anyone of you find yourself in Vienna some day don't fall for some tourist trap and visit a small, off the beaten path pub called Kolar. Best beer in town, and a real contender for best beer anywhere. Just take care and don't get yourself the Starobrno just because it sounds Czech. I mean, sure, it is, but it's disguised Heineken swill. Heh. Although I have no idae why you would want to order anything but the Kolar beers. Unless you like wheat beer. In which case you're better off in Germany. Off you go.

So did you just assume BruceVC's domestic houseworker's gender, you sexist pig? You fit right in with PM Blackface. Disgusting!

Message from the King was a good movie indeed, except for one part very near the ending where King gets beaten up heavily but is mostly okay afterwards, while an earlier - less severe - beating has a more realistic effect on him. That was distracting.

Yeah, glad you're OK. 😮

That reminds me I still need to watch S4. I also should finish watching Man in the High Castle. Oh, and Westworld.

When I first watched Encounter at Farpoint I hated Q as a character and the entire species as a concept. I still don't care much for the concept of a race of actual gods because that's much more at home in other sci fi (the Ancients and later Ori in Stargate were fine, albeit subject to some ludicrous changes throughout the show and the target of some really bad writing) but I started to enjoy the character of Q and even the other Qs that show up later and finally made my "peace" with Encounter at Farpoint once I watched the commentary on the DVD sets about how Roddenberry was forced to pad it out to a feature length pilot with the material done for a single episode. Except Amanda. Ugh. No puppies, you can't be here. At least the episode was a fun commentary on how characters like Q can ruin a show by being able to handwave everything - at least I'd like to think that was the point. For someone who Twatters a lot about how annoying people are at the theatre and how he can't enjoy the artists vision when someone munches popcorn next to him or talks he sure has no regard for his fellow Trek alumni. Sure DS9 - like any Trek show - can use some trimming on repeated but certainly not on a first time viewing. Applied to TNG that would drop a lot of episodes where he shows up. And by a lot I mean every single one, really, except for The First Duty. Looks more and more like Mr. Wheaton really is the obnoxious douche he initially played on The Big Bang Theory, but who knows, that would be giving Chuck Lorre credit where it most definitely isn't due.

Early '98. So yeah, very much two decades ago.

For all its storytelling faults and that terrible ending, Mass Effect 3 sure had an excellent soundtrack.

Yeah, you're right. I didn't read Story Teller as much as the German translation called Erzähl mir was. I just figured it would be easier to refer to the original, the other stuff was from the How and Why Wonder Books series (Was ist Was by Tessloff, and Hurlshot probably knows or at least knows of the book series). My bad. Whil Wheaton also loves Star Trek Picard. That makes him whatever the opposite of an authority on Star Trek could be called. A Star Trek Trump, perhaps. 🤣 Not that I disagree that Galaxy Quest was a great film.

Has Jim Humble said anything about using bleach yet? I hear he's quite the authority on the subject. Heh.

Wait until you get to the end...
