    Does the US Military have an issue with the bullpup design?

    Re: two rounds being chambered. 9 times out of 10 - if not more - that's the user's fault not the weapon's. The mag's spring can be placed inside the mag in two directions - one is right, one is wrong. A lazy user can easily put it in the wrong way. A good user has three ways to make sure...

    The Unknown: A Game of Fear, Ignorance, and Adventure

    "You walk? I help you to Nexxado." "Thank you kind lady. And who might you...?" Wait. Rhee. Yes. "Yes. Thank you Rhee." Reaching out with his left arm he took Rhee's offer. He felt tired and vulnerable but he took her arm. They began walking. "What happened Rhee?"

    The Unknown: A Game of Fear, Ignorance, and Adventure

    Pain, heavy and dark. His temple swelled and pounded on his brain. He lay on wet ground, drenched and beaten about. Where was he? What was going on? He turned to his right side and reached out to push himself up so he might - AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! He screamed inside himself. He had fallen...

    Poll: Would you time-travel and kill Hitler?

    No. For a very selfish reason: without Hitler my father's mother would never have met her husband and my father would never have been born. Therefore I would never have been born. Selfish, yes, but honest. History's just one damn thing after the other; taking one of those damn things away...

    Mechanic spoilers

    Hey there peoples. I just read this article and it got me to thinking. http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2010/09/28/mechanic-spoilers-beyond-i-am-your-father/ We put a lot of time and effort into not spoiling the story for some second-rate hack job of a plot in the latest shooter/RPG/RTS...

    Bargains Are for Cheaters

    My problem with this whole issue is that developers are being put front and centre as the losers. Anyone who has taken the trouble to read this far into a post on the gaming industry knows just who gets most of the money out of a game sale (publishers and game stores), and who gets the least...

    The Unknown: A Game of Fear, Ignorance, and Adventure

    "I too am afraid there is little I can do to help with the mast. After all, there's only so much a one-armed man can heave. Especially when one arm is simply too little. I have other skills I can offer though. I can survey the ground and make a tactical assessment. "Good luck, Mr Deslock. I'm...

    The Unknown: A Game of Fear, Ignorance, and Adventure

    "I assume you are heading towards Deslock for instuctions?" Always questioning, this wizard. Perhaps he was making conversation; perhaps he was needling again. Either way, there was no harm. Jonas smiled magnanimously and hopped over the side. There was no point in carefully tiptoeing off...

    The Unknown: A Game of Fear, Ignorance, and Adventure

    "I regret we did not have much time to talk since..well..since the incident with the undead legion in Tyb. I see though that you have recovered well enough to take on a dragon. Fortune smiles upon you, it would seem" Jonas' whole body twinged again; he grimaced. "I abide, master Raven."...

    The Unknown: A Game of Fear, Ignorance, and Adventure

    While he waited his mind began to wander. He thought of the woes that had beset the voyage thus far. They had been boarded by river pirates; a mysterious legion had attacked the ship, and Keil; a dragon had torn the mast off. His whole body suddenly ached at the memories. Grummond had given...

    The Unknown: A Game of Fear, Ignorance, and Adventure

    "Fine. He'll get more people, but I'll be damned if he takes any of mine. Hughes! Dafals! Deslock's still got some of his Expedition lurking around here, see if you can find 'em!" That was all the encouragement needed. Jonas rocked on his still pain body as he steadied his feet. They had been...

    How people Butcher your name

    I wont' say my last name because I like my internet anonymity, but I will say that my name is both a)incredibly rare, and b)incredibly Polish. With sounds that don't exist in English, and others that aren't written with the same letters. So I've gotten "Poppajikozny", "Pobzensky", and so on...

    The Unknown: A Game of Fear, Ignorance, and Adventure

    "So were you always left handed? Or did you need to learn, uh, afterwards?" "No, I was right-handed once, then I was apathetic, and finally I trained to proficiency. What a man can achieve if he but wills it. We all have our traumas, of this only the gods have control. The making of the man...
