Four engines. The specific reason they stayed with the 747 rather than a newer Boeing twinjet liner is for the extra two engines.

“...That’s plenty of time for the next President to change it right on back.”

Then why is it that people from Norway are called Norwegians, but the country isn’t called Norwegia? What’s the deal behind that, man? I need answers!

The official Forza forums are full-on torches and pitchforks. It’s a combination of 1) Disappointment that the last expansion of the game is nothing like what the fans have been clamoring for all this time (PG isn’t listening...); 2) Frustration at the ‘kiddie-fication’ of Horizon (first the dances and silly hats, now…

The real kicker must have been the point where the lawyer says “Lego cannot be associated with any game that fails to adhere to its ESRB ‘E’ rating, so you’re going to have to censor all those music selections that may be objectionable to small children...”

A two-seater biplane assigned to the gun would fly out to the planned target, trailing an antenna wire out, and telegraph the fall of shot in relation to the target via clock reference and distance (something…

I know where you were going with that mental image, but I still can’t help but think of a cat trying to manipulate a cutting laser.

In before all the folks saying “Well, that puts every army in range of a railway in danger. What about the rest of the wide-open battlefield?”— bear in mind that constructing a railroad was comparatively easy: Laying ties and rails took less time and material than grading and rolling down road ballast, especially if…
