Bah, they're just jealous that their ships weren't as good.

"Tell us who your enemy is and where he takes his evening bath. We'll sail right up that stream, that creek, that puddle of dirty water and descend upon him like demons." -Brian Wood's Northlanders

I do miss putting my quarters on the machine to claim next.

It's certainly a nice plane, but if we're bringing back a specific prop-driven craft then I'd prefer to fly in style.

What: Clinker built (lapstrake) ships, more specifically longships.

Bad story-wise. The gameplay didn't help things. Too much of the campaign was spent securing an area and fighting waves of enemies. It's lazy writing.

When I say it doesn't matter at all to the plot, I mean the level itself. It can all be explained by handwaving and cutscenes. I finished the game, but don't pretend the campaign was great. It was pretty bad, especially considering World at War's great campaign.

This level never had to be in the game, as evidenced…

If you like shaving with blades, you might want to check out straight razors. There's a pretty cool collector's market for them, and as long as you care for the blade it lasts ages. It's a good idea to have 2 or 3 and rotate them, because they need to be sent off for minor work from time to time.

Ah man sorry to hear that about you and Ninja Gaiden. I can sympathize with getting stuck on a boss, but it's worth beating him and going on. His weakness is wall combos.

I was actually willing to try and play it for the sake of story. It may have been tasteless, but I'm willing to meet them halfway to advance the story.

Too bad it doesn't matter at all to the plot. Totally just there for shock value. It's also slow and tedious.

Using an electric hurts more than using a bladed razor. It pulls on the hairs.

Best shave I've ever had is with an old straight razor. Cuts cleanly, doesn't pull or hurt, and it's the smoothest shave I've ever had.

1602 is a pleasure to read. I've always wanted more of it, but the story is so perfect as it's told.

Alright this one sorta counts. Horus Heresy is not hard canon, more of a "this is one interpretation of a set of events, maybe it's canon" sort of canon. I will try to be as spoiler free as possible. Common knowledge stuff: the book is about the fall of the Emperor's Children and the divide between them and a…

Well it's an issue of perspectives really. Your point is valid and I know a great deal about the origins of the "Viking Age". However, my studies in history and archaeology are focused on Post-Roman Britain. So in my area of study, the Viking Age begins at Lindisfarne and ends at Stamford Bridge. (Hastings is…

I promise, even if it's not your cup of tea, this single scene is worth watching the whole movie. In my opinion, Roy's monologue is the best delivered line ever in a film.

Oh yeah the ending sucks horribly. I would have ended it with Emperor Papsmear loading the Armless Wonder onto his shuttle. Maybe with some kind of sinister remark and a chuckle. Roll credits.

I am excited for Rebels though.

Watch out for live ins. You're gonna get some live ins.

I suppose the exception to this rule is the Viking Age, which has a specific start date. However, it's not like the Lindisfarne raid happened and people were like "Shit. Viking Age."

Well I would argue that the Space Age will begin when space, as a frontier or a commodity, is available to a large portion of people around the globe. The current information age didn't start when some folks made the first closed server for inter-office communication. Once it becomes available to the masses and is…

I still say that in spite of the general garbage-ness of the prequels, Revenge is a pretty good movie. Sure it's brought down by a couple of moments, but pretty much as soon as Order 66 is given it turns into a damned good movie.

I will readily admit to sobbing when this happened.
