Pint glasses in my house alternate down-up-down-up left to right and front to back. They fit together so perfectly like that.

I'm sitting in the Combined Air and Space Operations Center (CAOC) right now. My immediate supervisor, a Navy O-6, is a reservist who works at Lockheed on the F-35 in his civilian life. I just showed him this article, and he said, "cool. Do you want the number of the guy that's working on that project?".

One of the best parts about this level is that your actions dictate how many Marines survive. If you sit back and act cautious during the beach assault, all of your Marines will get killed and you'll have no one to man the Warthog with you. Instead, if you jump into the fray, the enemy will concentrate on you.

I beat the original xwing game using only a mouse. Well, I did need an R2 to help me on the keyboard during the trench run final mission. I was a god in those games, I am not afraid to boast. I was the resident expert on the is a bbs. Such memories!!

A BMD Aegis cannot do it all on its own. I won't get into details, but ships like the SBX-1 are critical to making current BMD work.

It's actually kind of hard to find these ships in the open ocean. You'd be amazed how easy it still is in the 21st century to hide while at sea.

I got to tour the SBX-1 last year. It's capabilities are quite amazing. However, I'm not sure where her official homeport is, but she's been at Pearl Harbor, HI for at least 5 years...probably a lot longer.

I've never lived in Tokyo, but I've been there a few times for months at a time.

Yeah, I guess I've never really been in South America. But in Europe, the Middle East, and in Japan, most of the time I've said I'm from the United States I get a blank look. It's a little better in England and France. In England they say I'm from "The States", but they refer to me as an "American". In France, I'm…

Being a white westerner in Japan is one thing. Being a black westerner in Japan is another. But it's weird...it's not really a black/Asian/white thing (although I'm sure it exists). The Japanese really look down on African blacks...and there's a lot of them in the bigger cities...mostly doing low level jobs.

For a long time, sports gamers preferred the Genesis to the SNES. I think the popularity of Madden and NHL 95 carried the Genny for a couple of years.

I get where you're coming from, but you got to admit that your specific situation does not represent the majority of console users. If you wanted a net box for your TV, there are much cheaper options like the Apple TV. Hell, most TVs nowadays have a Netflix app built in. The value in the 360 / One is multiplayer…

See my above comment. You are in the minority of console users I would wager. It's not going to move units and its not going to save most users any money. For the most part, people that are watching Netflix through their 360's / Ones are people that play online anyway. Why would you buy a 360 just for Netflix? An…

Also, Xbox live gets me value above and beyond Netflix...which I can watch anywhere (e.g. my phone). Netflix is like an added perk of Xbox Live, not a reason to join Gold.

I'm not defending anything. I'm just saying the majority of people that have Xbox's play online...that's kind of the hook of the last / this gen console gaming. If you play online, you already have Gold.

This is totally a non-issue. If you have an Xbox, and you are tech-smart enough to watch a lot of Net TV (Netflix, Amazon, etc.), then you probably already have Xbox Live anyway. I get the outrage in principle, but in practical sense it really doesn't matter. Besides, it's like $6 / month if you pay full price. …

1st of all, Bungie didn't want Halo anymore. The reason they bought themselves out from Microsoft was because they didn't want to make anymore Halo games.

I liked Halo 4 a lot. It wasn't my favorite one, but I liked it a lot more than 2 & 3. I'll admit the Forerunner weapons were just re-skinned human weapons, but the story, level design, and music were all top notch.

The U.S. is actually really good at making democracies. It just takes 150k troops and 50 years. When we actually commit, we're good at it. When we try to do it on the cheap or try to do it fast, we fail.
