    Why You're Wrong if You're Mad at George R. R. Martin

    I am not mad at him, I am mad at myself. After the crazy amount of time I waited for The Dark Tower series by Stephen King to be finished (and faced a very real chance it would never be done) I vowed to never again start reading an unfinished series. I was dumb enough to start and get hooked...

    Star Wars Force Awakens Spoiler Filled discussion thread (no spoiler tags, you've been warned)

    I was more laughing at this place being populated by the goth kids from South Park. But there is a point where you might want to admit the problem could be you instead of everyone else as crazy as that sounds.

    Star Wars Force Awakens Spoiler Filled discussion thread (no spoiler tags, you've been warned)

    Lol, everyone I know and myself loved this movie, the general reviews are about how amazing it is. I saw this thread and I just knew that if anyone would hate it it would be the Escapist where liking anything is a sign if weakness.

    Fallout 4 Review - Post-Apocalyptic Warlord Simulator 2287

    My favorite thing with all this Fallout coverage is the impotent anger from fans of 1 and 2 about the evolution of their favorite game series. You guys lost, more people love the new direction and the game series will continue that way. Give it up, move on to something you enjoy. It's like...

    That must have been awful. I am fortunate that my unit takes TO guidance very seriously and I have never been asked or ordered to do any work that goes against or around the TO. You did the right thing even if the results were unpleasant. Sorry it went that way but you very possibly saved...

    I have never been put in that spot yet, I maintain transport aircraft. As for directives regarding personal conduct and the like I have no issues with any of it. If I was to receive an order that went against my personal values I might feel bothered but following lawful orders is something...

    What are some of the worst things?

    I forgot to mention this earlier and nobody else seems to have brought it up so... Brush your teeth fresh and clean with a nice minty paste, now go take a big swig of orange juice. One of the worst things this world has to offer.

    Personally I think the pay is pretty fair. Lot's of people see it as too low but honestly most of a military members compensation comes in the form of benefits. In active status I got a base salary of roughly $1,200 per month which seems low, but add to that $1,300 per month tax free as...

    AIT is the second half of Basic for you right? Where you get specified training for your job? Our BMT is always Lackland, Technical Training happens lots of different places depending on your job. I spent the whole time at NAS Pensacola, my friend who went load master spent one year going to...

    The Escapist Community is a tad too toxic

    Well see, I have loved the hell out every Bethesda game since Morrowind and have played them all for more cumulative hours than basically every game I own combined. Fallout 4 is going to be awesome, all it has to do is be Fallout 3 with more stuff to do and I will love it. Hell yes you should...

    People's love affair with the A-10 is based on a dream. It functions well in the current war because we are fighting a group without effective surface to air capabilities. During Operation Desert Storm the A-10 had a floor it could not operate below because effective AA fire shredded the shit...

    Fallout 4's Script Is Bigger Than Skyrim And Fallout 3 Combined

    See, I told you so! I think this is cool from a technical perspective and it gives me an inkling that this game is going to be freaking huge and take up a vast quantity of my time when it comes out. My body is ready Bethesda, take my money and do what you want! I might want to try pulling...

    What are some of the worst things?

    Grape Drank. A bartender in Florida made it for me, it's Pabst Blue Ribbon, drop in a shot of grape vodka, chug. Probably one of (if not the) worst thing I have ever tasted. Also overcooked turkey that gets dried out and tasteless. Nasty.

    Sorry, been away for a while. Hopefully this isn't necroing... Army paratroopers are fine, I do feel bad because they are treated like crap compared to us. Foreigners I have no idea, I have never interacted with them. I like Yahtzee and sometimes the cynicism pervading this forum is...
