  1. legend of zelda: ocarina of time fallout 2 neverwinter nights diablo 2 half-life donkey kong country myst
  2. could i ask you a few questions? like, where are your traders located, what jobs are there around here, ect.
  3. hello hello yesterday i stealthily katana-shanked every douchef**k talon company guy, and today i believe i will roast some inbred hicks with my tactical incinerator cannon thingy. but i would have thrown fallout 3 in the trash if it hadn't been for this awesome website.
  4. didn't nostradamus say something like "when the dolphins wash up on beaches due to man's hatred, man will end" or something. also, it is a fact that the taliban/ACM believe that there are forcefields around US Army FOBs (forward operating base). which is their explanation for them simply not being able to hit anywhere near it with their rockets. you know, forcefields, like the ones in Star Wars.
  5. whoa groovy man, WTF does "all clicked" mean
  6. Last week, a report in the Chinese state-run People's Daily newspaper alleged that the Afghan Taliban has begun training monkeys in areas along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border as part of the struggle against occupying NATO forces. According to the story, the monkeys are sometimes offered bananas and peanuts as "a series of rewards and punishments to gradually teach them how to" fire Kalashnikovs, light machine guns and trench mortars. (Taiwan's Apple Daily has come up with a brilliant computerized animation of these recruitment tactics.) The People's Daily article quotes a number of unnamed, supposedly "inside" sources, including a U.S. official, but NATO spokesmen have since dismissed any knowledge of these so-called "monkey terrorists."

  7. oops my bad, I forgot this was in PC gaming here you go http://www.zoecchi.com/Images/Games/HalfLife/Half-Life_Cover_Art.jpg
  8. wouldn't a laser be more effective if it was man portable? lasers don't drop like chunks of metal do.
  9. http://www.geekologie.com/2009/10/01/laser-rifle.jpg http://www.kogakoalition.org/roadkill/rules/images/laserrifle.gif by Staff Writers Pittsburgh PA (SPX) Jun 28, 2010 Boeing took delivery of the beam director assembly for the U.S. Army's High Energy Laser Technology Demonstrator (HEL TD) program, moving the system another step closer to its 2011 testing schedule. Integrated Optical Systems Brashear, a division of L-3 Communications, delivered the component in Pittsburgh for transport to Boeing's facility in Albuquerque, N.M., where it will be mated to the remaining beam control system hardware. Once assembled, the laser system will be integrated with an Oshkosh Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck (HEMTT) in Huntsville, Ala. The beam control system will acquire, track and select an aimpoint on a target during the same time frame in which the system also will receive the laser beam from HEL TD's laser device, reshape and align it, and focus it on the target. The system includes mirrors, high-speed processors and high-speed optical sensors. "Watching this revolutionary capability come together through the efforts of Boeing employees and partners working with our U.S. Army customer reinforces how real - and how close - this technology is to being ready to support warfighters," said Blaine Beardsley, Boeing HEL TD program manager. The transformational, solid-state laser weapon system will provide speed-of-light, ultra-precision capability that will dramatically improve warfighters' ability to counter rocket, artillery and mortar projectiles. "We're confident in our ability to begin testing at White Sands Missile Range early next year against real targets," said Mike Rinn, vice president of Boeing Directed Energy Systems. "Using a low-power surrogate for the high-energy laser, we will demonstrate the transformational capability of this system and its potential for the battlefield." These low-power tests will demonstrate the HEL TD system's ability to acquire, track and target moving projectiles. The HEMTT will later be equipped with a high-energy laser that can destroy those targets. Boeing is developing laser systems for a variety of U.S. Air Force, Army and Navy applications. Besides HEL TD, these systems include the Free Electron Laser, the Tactical Relay Mirror System, and the latest Compact 3-D Imaging Camera.
