Damn. Emergency Management is my field of study and work, so seeing things like this makes me wonder about how prepared they are. Streets should not be randomly exploding. Thats a hazard that most people have no idea about happening until it does. And they really need to be prepared there, I'm sure they probably…

Oh and by the way, I really like Kinja's new HTML editor, it works really good if you know how to use HTML at a basic level.

Damnit. I was hoping Marvel would go with an Asian to honor the 100th Infantry and 422nd Infantry. Oh well, we can forget about real history, real sacrifice and honoring the Nissei who fought for our country while their families were being held in what could be described as Concentration Camps, because "diversity".…

I remember getting Platinum trophies in everything in that game, which was hard as hell, especially the hang gliding part in the snow level, if you played it you know how much of a bitch that was, the fucking crosswind at the LZ will make you cry. I know I cried repeatedly. Until I figured it out and just dove into…

Apparently I'm a shy wormhole. I kind of doubt that assessment. I'm not a shy person at all.

I'd try GIMP. Its kind of intimidating at first, but its FLOSS and its powerful. You may need the Mac xorg server for it, since its primarily a Linux package, but they may have made it native for Mac as they did for Windows. I don't own a Mac, but I do use BSD quite a bit, as does anyone who owns a PlayStation 3 or…

While I like the concept, it would be more historically accurate if the new Cap was Asian, it would be much easier to retcon in because of the actions of the Nissei units from Hawaii and California which fought in Italy. If you don't know your history, you may want to note that the 100th Infantry Battalion was an…

Yeah, late '84. I can vaguely remember Reagan being president, and I clearly remember the end of the Berlin Wall and Cold War.

Things are different for Zelda, though. There was only one Final Fantasy VII. There've been a few more Clouds here and there since that game came out. But no single character in Final Fantasy has risen to the same stature as Link. Zelda has survived with a similar cast of core characters since the first Legend of…

I could barely deal with 35 or so episodes of Katekyo Hitman Reborn before it started actually getting into the real story, I know for a fact I couldn't do 100-150.

Do it. Just don't actually stay in West or South Orlando, especially not on International Drive where the Convention Center is, unless you ain't paying for it. I'd actually recommend one of the places by the Airport, they don't tell people that you can actually make it to the Convention Center faster on the 528 than…

And just to put in my two cents if its not clear, New Zealand has the best uniform in the world because the the All Blacks are the best in the world. Case closed.

Alot of Rugby Union teams don't have very colorful jerseys. The New Zealand All Blacks, who you have a picture of in the upper left hand corner, wear a flat black jersey with the Fern logo and the Words "All Blacks" , black shorts, black spandex, and black socks. In that picture the boots are probably all the same…

I will qualify my earlier comment though and I'm gonna take a walk down memory lane here with ya, if you don't care its fine, but my counselor wants me to talk about my Service at all points openly when I feel like it as part of my therapy process. I'm relatively lucky, I only have Dysthymia, a good number of my…

I was about to say, that wall looks awful familiar. And the fact that someone's barefoot.

Absolutely Grymnir. I didn't really want to get too far into the why here, since it would bore most people to tears (if this was The Register I'd be getting ripped to shreds by people until I did explain it, but El Reg is kind of special like that), and they'll usually just call it an exploit anyway. I usually use…

Resetting the game millions of times != Exploiting bugs in the code. You're taking advantage of a feature with one method, and exploiting shoddy coding with the other.

I agree but hey I wasn't the DS. Privates and the odd Specialist at BCT aren't usually the ones making up the names.

Same here. Conscription or mandatory military service is probably the stupidest decision that Political Leadership can make unless there's an existential crisis like a Civil War or Invasion involving the State (in the Geopolitical sense) doing the Conscripting. Conscripts tend to not be motivated, they dont want to…

Y'know, I was thinking about that. He used to shove burning fuses in his beard too and usually a few in his hat. Psychological Warfare and such, made him look like what the 17th/18th Century British associated with the devil apparently.
