...the more annoying I get to my xbox live friends!

I just bought Call of Duty: World at War, and it's a really fun game. I've been playing online through the campaign with a couple friends and I fear that I'm annoying them. In the Stalingrad level I commented on how the Soviets shouldnt have the high collar yet And in the late war Germany levels, I commented on how all the helmets still have the...

scifi m.c 21/zero.1.55, the butcher of mars colony 21

feeds@yuku.com (pictoplasma) — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 06:48:59 GMT

after the bloodbath of operation scorched earth 2052, mankind looked to the stars for the answers and a new beginning to the dystopian society left. the first of many colony based settlements on mars and jupiter are established. for the journey to the stars the founding pilgrim fathers took all sorts of drug cocktails. in the resulting generations, genetic mutations had become the norm at birth. psychopath mutants are the legacy of mans dreams for a world beyond the stars.

thanks...

re-enactors get artsy

Spotted this in the daily Telegraph today, a UK-based newspaper. Thought it might be of interest. There are ten pictures to go with the article witha link just under the first picture to let you cycle through them. The photographer appears to have chosen his re-enactors well.

Ticketed For Smokeing

feeds@yuku.com (pzrwest) — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 23:19:33 GMT

A truck driver here in good old Ontario Canada was ticketed for smokeing in his 18 wheeler while driving on the road. We have a no smokeing ban here for smokeing in the workplace. This is how he got the ticket. According to this law here a truck driver, a taxi driver, a realestate sales person, a pizza delivery person can also be ticketed as their vehicle is their place of work. This could also apply to getting a ticket in your own home if that is where you conduct your buisness since it is...

Ottawa 1/6th Stores?

Not sure if this is the right place for this topic, but!

I'll be in Ottawa in 2 weeks for an animation festival,
and I'm just wondering if anyone knows of any retailers who deal in 1/6th Dragon or DID in the area?

Thanks in advance!

Just visit the Modellers Loft site and click on 'coming soon/pre-orders'.
This figure has been a long time coming, so I hope he's worth the wait. Looks good to me, although I'm not enough of an expert. Maybe Tony B could cast his eye and give us his first impression. What do you think Tony?

happy looking.

Mark.

The Filthy 13 : A few Questions

feeds@yuku.com (thomas sawyer) — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 08:18:13 GMT

I have some questions and seriously need to buy the book on them when I can find it, but I have a few questions on them. Basically did all of them do the Mohawk thing with their hair? Next how were they armed individually? Out of thirteen men, how many had M-1's Thompson's, Carbine's? Basically who had and was armed with what weapon? Finally does anybody have their own 1/6 Filthy 13 or even part of the squad they wouldn't mind sharing it with us? What figures did you use to...
