    • RE: Chinese Colonization of Ukraine!! (Legit)

      @seththenewb:

      Don’t they know that in the Global game they’re not allowed to leave China itself with exceptions to Kwangtung and Burma? I guess this is just a preview of A&A Global 2014!

      Haha! Good one  🙂

    • RE: Odd WW2 factoids.

      During World War II, airplane factories in the US were made to look like small towns so they wouldn’t be bombing targets!

      -Volcano Bombing-
      In the January 1944 issue of Popular Science, the piece titled “Can We Blast Japan From Below?” presents the argument. The author, Professor Harold O. Whitnall of Colgate University, said that “[the Japanese] have made gods of [volcanoes],” and “fear of volcanoes is thoroughly ingrained in the minds of the Japanese.”

      He went on to say that fear of volcanoes is so great that the act of bombing them would cause “cataclysmic terror.” The point was to not only use psychological warfare, but to turn the volcanoes into weapons of war by inducing eruptions.

      Whitnall said that after Pearl Harbor, an all out attack on the Japanese homeland should have been accompanied by bombing raids on Japan’s volcanoes to hasten surrender. Obviously, it never materialized. But was it possible? Theoretically, yes.

      In short, if a volcano is near its time to erupt, a bomb can be enough force to set it off. The proposal reached President Roosevelt, but was never seriously considered. Perhaps it was a good thing, because had such measures been taken, the tragic events at Hiroshima and Nagasaki might not have been the only ones.

      -12 Year old in the Navy-
      His name was Calvin Graham, and he enlisted in the Navy on May 1942, shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor. The kid had an active role in the battle of Guadalcanal, serving aboard the USS South Dakota. He helped in the fire control efforts aboard the ship, something that earned him the Bronze Star and the Purple Heart.

      His mom revealed his age, and was put in a brig for three months. He was released when his sister threatened to tell the newspapers. He was released and dishonorably discharged for lying about his age. His medals were taken from him.

      He joined the marines when he was 17 but broke his back 3 years later. He spent the rest of his life fighting for medical benefits and a clean record.  Finally, in 1988, after years of trying, he wrote to Congress telling them his story, and he was reinstated of all his medals, except for the Purple Heart.

    • RE: CoD - CoD MW3

      @frimmel:

      Well, Empireman, Commander mode makes a return in BF4.

      More BF4 news and links.

      The new COD has dogs. BF4 has falling skyscrapers (near the end at about the 5:18 mark of the first vid in the second link.)

      Looks pretty cool, though no mods which was my favorite thing about BF2.
      Destruction is pretty cool. And I like China returning from BF2.

    • RE: CoD - CoD MW3

      @M.:

      @frimmel:

      @aequitas:

      how is the handling of that game?..is it diffrent then on CoD?..I played BF Vietnam a couple of time but actually on the PC…I was actually thinking �bout testing Bf 3 but wasn�t sure if it is worth the money…

      I haven’t played any of the COD games. To my understanding BF3 is not as smooth as COD. The big thing COD guys talk about is the recoil of the weapons and the ‘realistic’ feel that gives BF3. Many of the guns demand to be used in particular ways and you need to mind your weapon set ups (most weapons have three customization slots, {scope, foregrip/bipod/underslung rail and laser sight/tactical light/suppressors/barrel/ and you unlock them as you accumulate kills with the weapon}) for the situations you’ll encounter (break out the holos and red dots for metro) and your particular style.

      I squaded up with a guy who’d just picked up BF3 coming from lots of COD. He’d rave, ask how something works, go wow, talk about how he loved that the guns had varying recoil, recoil at all, and how that made the game feel. Kept saying how “sexy” things were.

      The COD games is not for all, I am also never play it. But I have knew that BF3 is not so smooth and so “sexy”.

      Yeah BF3 was not a true BF game. It had small maps, run and gun, no commander, only 4 classes, and no mods.

      @Gargantua:

      Just got an update on Bear.

      He’s going for his MRI now, and whilst under the same anesthetic, they may proceed with Surgery TODAY.  I still have no information as to what this means financially, all the details are still being worked out.

      Please - please keep him in your thoughts and prayers, and thank-you for coming along this journey with us.

      Will Do!
