What baffles me is that things that a normal movie would have made cgi (explosions) are real while other things like mountains or people positioning are post effects.

That’s cause you’re a pussy who cant handle “ violence “

What the hell are you on about? He’s got a year’s college left. Even if he WON the tournament, he’d be in the negative. Chances are he wouldn’t win. Are you seriously criticizing him for making the rational decision?

True, but a pro gaming career is not viable. A smaller percentage of gamers go pro than in any other ‘sport’, and the vast majority of them don’t make much money. If he wants to make games, he’ll most likely need a degree. To write about them, guess what? A degree.

Sorry, but a chance at a $25,000 prize is not a career.

except post secondary schooling is a guaranteed thing. a card game with a chance to win money, is not.

These days a lot of Navy COs are being relieved , a lot for “political correctness”- but here is one CO that should go

On the other hand, he now belongs to a very, very exclusive club. Namely, the club that gets asked “How in the hell did you manage to run into a battleship?”

After returning I immediately wanted to drop a RIP packet. My PL convinced me to hold off for a few weeks since 3rd BDE, 3rd ID was going into EIB…

yeah Ft irwin blows and it made me hate mechanized. ft irwin is the satans asshole.

Symbols, ceremony, standards and tradition are also parts of a military. They mean something. These are not empty gestures on a barren stage.

my squad leader was in that unit, he even had that fancy badge.

If you walk straight out that door and take a hard left, you’ll get back to Gawker.

Well...he’s the president so it is what it is. Hope the next person is more excited about our countey than Obama seems to be. He makes me sad.

This is what happens when you put Flower Children in charge. I’m so not ready for a second affirmative action president.

Too late. The bear is loose. Where was this when Putin trampled over Georgia, and then on to Ukraine? Okay, so now our pipeline to flat pack furniture is threatened...off go the bombers. We should have contained Putin when he first started showing aggression. But no, we showed weakness for years, which is why the…
