    Just have to say war in videogames is as close as i want to get. Says alot that war sells games. Think it was Gary Oldman in Fifth Element that said war is needed to make people rich. Game developers are no different, they always want to make money on this horrific spectical.

    I'm just saying that the "do what needs to be done" attitude in video games is a bit more realistic than it seems, especially when you factor in victors justice.

    I dream of one day being able to use the GR gallery slideshow component in Chrome instead of having to copy the url and open it in IE.

    Ha! I took the time to figure it out - disable the Ad Block Plus Chrome extension. That kills their slideshow gallery.

    I don't remember any quotes, but that was a great movie.

    The good vs bad one is especially true I think. I don't particularly care for this country and I know that I paint myself as a big bulls-eye for a chunk of the people that are the super-neo-pro-military type when I say that. However, I find it hard to believe that even a close majority of soldiers joined the military out of love/pride for their country or whatever "good" thing you want. I can see plenty of people just joining for a way to pay through college, a future in it, or because there's really nowhere else for them to go.

    That's actually the humanitarian option Snake is employing there apparently testicular contortion will put you right to sleep after pooping out all your ammo.

    "gung-ho"

    Yeah true dat. I always thought that people joined the military (ours at least) was for free room and board. Otherwise they would be penniless and begging for pocket change in front of liquor stores.

    So when you where overseas what was your old lady up to?

    -.- Bruce Springsteen does not have any patriotic songs. Born in the USA was anything but patriotic. It's about a guy who goes to prison and then is forced to go to Vietnam because of the lack of soldiers they had back then, then seeing all his friends die and coming home only to live a shitty life. How is that patriotic? I'm sick of people getting this wrong.

    Maybe in the army its like that. Not the marines. You dont join the marines to pay for school. You become a marine to fight for your country. I was in the marines and not one person wouldnt give their life for the civilians of the USA.

    She went with me. And we had two kids. Nice try though.

    I use ABP on Chrome and have no problems with their slideshows. Not sure what's wrong with yours...

  • LOZ4EVAH - November 28, 2012 10:34 a.m.

    i couldn't use their slideshow either ( using Chrome) but it just started working suddenly.
