I still don't get why people hate on Battlelog. it doesn't break, and I like being able to see which of my favorite server are populated or how many of my friends are online without having to sit through a bunch of unskippable splash screens and loading times.

meanwhile, EVERY INDUSTRIALIZED NATION IN THE ENTIRE REST OF THE WORLD has a government-run single-payer healthcare system, and guess what? they pay less for better service.

mouse is by far the easiest way to control the plane in arcade mode. you just move the cursor, and the plane does the appropriate combination of control surface inputs to follow it.

I'm from NJ where cot/caught are also different, but there were enough other questions for it to guess correctly. "hoagie" only exists in a narrow band going from central NJ halfway through PA, and saying that "marry/merry/Mary" are completely different words produced a map where all of NJ was bright red and the…

it's also possible that whatever contractor runs the EBT system screwed up the monthly balance reset. my housemate was on foodstamps/disability for the better part of a year and they managed to fuck it up twice during that time, forcing him to abandon a cart with a month's worth of food at the register for the…

at least you can grow facial hair. I can't, and I still get carded for everything at 32.

not mentioned in patchnotes: UCAV reload time increased to 90 seconds

I find him to be intolerably obnoxious and not funny at all.

only one of the maps has choppers, the other 3 are all stealth jets.

this also worked in old original Day of Defeat - the German bolt-action rifle was a 1-hit kill on any body part at any range, and was also perfectly accurate when fired from the hip. marking the aim point with a dot on a piece of tape basically turned it into the Quake railgun.

this reminded me of a post I recently saw on another forum:

this isn't being run by the players, it's CCP. they made a special GM character for people to send PLEX to, and will ban anyone who tries to impersonate them.

the big ammo box refills explosives, including hand grenades.

if you're using the stock heatsink with preapplied thermal goo, don't add more.

a lot of the smaller buildings can be destroyed just like in BC2.

Locker is like a non-shitty version of metro. most of your team will run straight ahead and spend the whole round spamming a doorway, but there's always at least one alternate route that completely bypasses the chokepoint.

Tracfone sells smartphones now, I've seen them at Best Buy for like $80.

they could just reuse the male player models with a different face and voice, and no one would really be able to notice because everyone looks pretty much the same when they're wearing body armor and a zillion pouches and grenade belts.

CoD 2/3/MW (I don't remember which) also had attack dogs that you had to shoot or they'd knock you down for an instakill. I like dogs, and I don't like shooting dogs in games, but everyone who played whatever game that was hated the enemy dogs because they were such bullshit.

Bernie Sanders is a "career politician" and he's one of the very few senators who isn't a total shitbag.
