In continutation to my last post. I should not need to tell you that food in the army sucks. That's why the rare barbecue comes as a hugely anticipated event - people can get so hungry, they'll eat it raw. Then there's the adrenalin junkie stuff like shooting your rifle or blowing stuff up with...

Hilarious that you should mention it considering my advice to you back in http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.331219-Military-Training You're out of the army by now, right? If so, congratulations. Back to OP. I served a few years in the army back before fallout 3 came out. Still...

That's nice in theory, but zerg-rush is exactly what you'd expect when you're outnumbered. I prefer rubber bullets, tear gas and flash bang grenades. Using your rifle as an improvised club carries the hazard of your weapon being snatched by the angry mob. And if the angry mob gets an actual...

Calm down there, hotshot. I doubt armored divisions get nearly as much training in hand to hand combat as the infantry. Doesn't look like they had much in the way of non lethal weapons either. Not to mention they were outnumbered. Seems like the only 2 viable options were to start shooting or to...

Nice video, if the winter olympics were more like this more people would watch them. According to wookiepedia the temperature on Hoth is somewhere between -32C and -61C. According to wikipedia the temperature in Russia is somewhere between 45C and -71C. The comparison doesn't seem as much...

I've got a couple print screens over the years. A pretty funny moment for me. NWN2 is 3rd edition D&D, it has its fair share of magical items, among them the amulet of vitality +2. It increases a character's health while worn. After a battle, with most of my party being injured I examined...

That is an awesome clip. I grew up on Robocop. It was the talk of the entire 1st grade... which in retrospect is kind of weird (5-7 year old kids having seen an R rated movie, then again we also saw Alien, Aliens and Terminator). This reboot looks nothing like Robocop and it gets worse with...

My apologies, this attempt at writing a sentence would be embarrassing even for a dyslexic person.

This is leet speak. This is dyslexia. Please do not confuse the two.

I have to go with this : The goblin cards are pretty hilarious.

I would recommend Shadowrun Returns. It's cyberpunk meets fantasy - magic, machine guns and hacking. It has its weak points like the campaign being very linear and the save system only allows autosaves at the start of the level. But the RPG elements are pretty good with a wide range for possible...

I'm fine with humour. Trigun goes past humour and straight into absurd, bordering on self parody. That was probably the most serious part of the show. Yet it was still hard taking seriously with the guy waving around a gun bigger than him in one hand, and the gun being shaped like a cross...

And just like that you lost any and all credibility... Trigun is like freaking Looney Tunes. Cowboy Bebop is a masterpiece with emotional depth.

I'm not big on anime myself but if you want some good ones, here's some you should check out : Samurai Champloo - from the same guys who made Cowboy Bebop, except set in Japan's stylized Edo period. Rurouni Kenshin - another one about samurais, ninjas, assassins and so on. The series can...

Go watch Die Hard again, then watch Die Hard 2 and 3 (and forget the rest of the movies in the series). Why is anything else even an option?
