    Politician Asks Game Makers to End Real-Life Gun Licensing

    Then stop buying them. Personally, I like supporting Magpul, Ruger, Palmetto State Armory, Colt, and hell, even Glock to name a few. Because these companies actually employ real Americans in factory positions. The workers are paid very well, and they make a quality product. Since I can't...

    VP Joe Biden Claims "No Restriction" Against Taxing Violent Games

    Someone doesn't know about the Puckle gun [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puckle_gun], on top of cannons. Cannons that could be loaded with canister shot. Cannons which at the time, were privately owned and leased to the fledgling United States government. You know, the same thing could be...

    U.S. Senator Says Violent Games Are "Practice Simulators"

    Diane Fienstein is on a "Moral" crusade against everything that she doesn't like. She lies, she cheats, she steals, and then she bitches when she doesn't get her way. Yet for some reason we Californians keep voting her in by well over 60% of the vote. When her election comes up, she won't even...

    Gamifying Guns

    At the price tag I would not worry about it for a good long time. I personally think it's neat. A bit extreme, but neat. I'd like to try it out. I get a kick out of hitting steel at 200 yards, let alone a mile plus.

    U.S. State Senator Apologizes to Gamers, Insults Them Again

    See why us Rational Californians consider Yee an idiot? Dude tries to ban violent games, then he tries to ban a safety feature on a firearm, then he supports the practice of removing the fins from sharks for shark fin soup. Who'da thunk that a state senator from San Fran would cause so much...

    Loaded Revolutionary War Cannon Discovered in Central Park

    I can assure you. After that time the powder has degraded to the point where if it was going to off, it would have. Once you add moisture to black powder it tends to not burn. 200 years of sitting dormant in a wet environment like Manhattan, the powder is useless. However, cannons are one...

    Pentagon Bringing Back the Blimp

    Kinda reminds me of the Triangle sightings in Phoenix in the the late 90's. Quiet object flying overhead at night with 3 lights on. In fact it fits perfectly, this is very likely the cause of that, or at least a prototype was. There has been speculation about a Stealth Blimp for ages...

    DayZ Screens Move Into the City

    Problems with the engine. The Virtual Reality engine is very powerful in what it can do, but it suffers from some of simplest, if not hilarious bugs. Give it time, it's always being updated. I remember when ArmA II first released, AI walking through walls was a huge issue. Hell, it was an...

    California Bans Social Snooping

    It was a serious attempt. All the information [http://stopsb249.org/] Thankfully it was killed for the year. It would have banned the Bullet Button which allows quick release of a magazine in a semi-automatic rifle with the aid of a tool. If it would have passed, you would have to...

    Piloting Military Drones Is Not Like Playing a Videogame

    I have a few hundred hours in Flight Sims. I could fly a plane with little to no instruction if I had to. I am sure I can handle a drone, and I have seriously been considering transferring into a Unmanned program at a University and flying like that. Unmanned flight is starting to get big in the...

    Zero Punctuation: DayZ

    Why does everyone have such a hard time with DayZ? I've died once, and I think it was because I fell off a building because ArmA II. Granted I went into DayZ with 3 years of ArmA II experience, and with friends who have a year of ArmA II experience, so we knew what we were doing. Of...

    Poll: Is there a solution to mass shootings?

    The three worst mass killings committed in the US were committed without a gun. One was in a school and two were in Office buildings. 1927 Bath Massacre [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bath_School_disaster] was committed by a man who had his farm forclosed on. So he took 500 pounds of TNT...
