the biggest surprise for Destiny players is always that Activision and Bungie doesn’t make Destiny for them to enjoy it, they made it to take their money, as early and as often as possible

how is this different then the USS Intrepid or the Imperial War Museum? I’ve been to both and i loved them. Okay neither of them have a 90-ies quality CGI trailer.

exactly, this looks nothing like a finished game, guess “simulated gameplay concept on prototype candidate engine before platform optimization running on developer hardware” doesn’t have the same same zing to it as “IN ENGINE”.

didn’t complicate the objectives

shallow reef bases in an area prone to tsunamis, earthquakes and typhoons isn’t a particularly good idea, especially if they are made with Chinese precision. I think these will be more costly to maintain than their geopolitical benefit. Below is the 2014 south china sea typhoon map. If a major one hits a construction…

Nice one...apparently there is a prototype for it too, here in badass matt black/green.

The Emperor decided the taint of warp has touched them and disbanded them pending censure....oh wait, not those Marines.

well anecdotally most crashes happen during or right after/before takeoff and landing so i guess Ospreys crash mostly in heli mode. anyways no other craft for me says “science-fiction, bitches!” like these vertibirds, they are just so cool....now if they could just make a DAP version of it ala the blackhawks, i can…

there is a mistake here, a V22 silhouette with F35B listed under it. What is this cadre business anyways?

didn’t realize V22s are already so common, i thought they are still iffy in terms of reliability and not officially rolled out but apparently i’m behind with the news.

how about little birds, kiowas or apaches? apparently none of them are used by the marines.

i love these 3 little things nested between all the F35s and Ospreys

as much as i’m a fellow aficionado of everything that goes bang - or in this case bzzzt - outside of it’s pure technological achievement i’m not sure what’s the real world application of this. The US is in war with bearded men in pickup trucks most of the time, not industrialized nations with sophisticated electronics…

i honestly never believed that they have nukes, it’s just charade the US and South Korea assist to so they can justify their military spending and anti-ballistic program (since it’s a lot easier than having to the tell the Russians/Chinese that we are doing it because of them....of course not, it’s all against the…

what would be the gain there? The US military needs a convenient but toothless bond-villain level stupid boogie man like North Korea. How else would they justify keeping all those bases? stop foreign aid for a half a year and by the end of the winter the NK regime topples because they’d be eaten by their own…

i bet it’s cover for some Tom Clancy or Matthew Rilley style shadow ops quietly delivering some ancient artifact in possession of the Saudi family to perform some ritual on the temple mound...or some faulty landing gear hydraulics, it’s about 50-50 chance for either.

while drunk?

two more to add:

i'll add Pi = pie to the classic American world view of:

i'm pretty sure this could be qualified as subliminal advertising
