Modern Warfare 2 had a ton of quotes from Dick Cheney etc that were either blatantly pro-war or a perfect illustration of everything wrong with current American military policy depending on your personal view.

America doesn’t have grades on non-commercial licenses. there’s just motorcycle and the generic one that covers everything from regular cars to 26-foot moving trucks and motorhomes the size of a city bus.

Quiet is great at clearing entire guard posts by herself because you forgot to turn off covering fire, but she’s terrible at scouting for someone WHO CAN FUCKING GO INVISIBLE

when multiple VW cars pass lab tests and fail real-world tests by 10-40x the allowed limits while a BMW passes the same real-world tests, it’s blatantly obvious that something is going on with the VWs.

one of the tapes talks about the legend of Big Boss and how all the mercs working for other outfits would jump at the chance to work for Boss ... but that doesn’t explain why random Russian conscripts join up, or why some guys need to sit in the brig for a while before they convert.

the font is way the hell too big, and some of the sites are using a variant that has problems with browser scaling. it works on this site but on main Gawker at 80% in Firefox, u doesn’t scale properly and ends up being larger than every other lower-case letter.

I used to be able to pronounce jalapeño the right way, then I spent two years of college in a mostly ROTC house and now it’s “juh-LOP-in-oh” unless I really think about it

there’s talking shit with your buddies or the other team, and then there’s screaming at your random teammate for an entire match because he isn’t playing up to your impossibly high standards. this sort of thing is why DOTA clones all have a reputation for being full of dickheads.

the big mouse has the thumb scrollwheel, 705 just has the forward-back buttons and I think it also does something if you press the bottom of the thumb area.

I bought a 705 to use while my MX Revolution was being RMA’d for the usual Logitech click sensor issue and kept using it when the replacement Revolution arrived. the big mouse is nice and ergonomic but it’s just way the hell too big, and I never used the thumbwheel anyway.

the one in my 2011 subaru works well enough

Jalopnik had it first, and it just got reverted there so hopefully it’ll also be going away from here shortly

in 2008 Huckabee said he would pursue diplomatic efforts to avoid a war while preventing Iran from getting nukes

2.0 quests are mostly not voiced with minimal cutscenes because those were done in the “rebuild the entire game in a year with no budget” phase. there’s more of both as you progress through the main quest, leading up to the hour-long cutscene at the end of the base game and the expansion content is even better.

Yuengling is indeed better and costs pretty much the same, but High Life is the #2 cheap beer

three words: sunk cost fallacy

I’ve partied with Taylor Swiftcast and had a good laugh at that name. I’ve also had a lot of people in duty finder say immediately upon entering that I’m getting their commendation for being named Subaru Impreza.

Garuda normal is one of the hardest fights in the game when you have a duty finder group of underleveled undergeared randoms. ask your FC for a group and you’ll be done in 5-10 minutes, or find another FC if they can’t/won’t help.

it’s multiple things - the text at the end of the 2.55 plot was something along the lines of “our heroes journeyed north, with hope in their hearts and eyes turned heavensward” where it means “towards the heavens”, and then the Ishgardian equivalent of the kingsguard is the Heaven’s Ward.

DPS queues pre-50 are not bad at all now since everyone wants to play the new tank/healer (sometimes it even says DPS in need on roulettes). post-50 it’s the usual 20+ minutes but that’s what guilds are for.
