A balanced breakfast
  • Yes, but the water on the right keeps it balanced.

  • Management thought they could make us happy with a pizza party
  • Is joke. This has been a fun time, and the pizzas were indeed quite good.

  • Wargames Atlantic: 'Introducing Grand Battle Scale!'

    wargamesatlantic.com Introducing Grand Battle Scale!

    Speculation has run rampant in the lead up to this announcement so let’s put all the rumors to bed and answer all your questions!   Grand Battle Scale is our name for a completely new range (I hesitate to say range because it will be so much more) of hard plastic 10mm figures. And when I say 10mm I...

    F-14 Tomcat in vertical flight
  • Tomcat isn't spec'd for it, but that's a real maneuver. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobra_maneuver

  • Another One Of Russia’s Nuclear-Proof Transports Just Got Blown Up In Ukraine
  • No fault of the design. It was meant for a particular role. It is being brought out and borderline misused in a different role. I can get behind loling at Russia, but this is like laughing at an M4 Sherman for not having ECM built in. I'd laugh at the people who rolled it into a modern conventional fight, but the design seems competent for the time and role.

  • Another One Of Russia’s Nuclear-Proof Transports Just Got Blown Up In Ukraine
  • The article's premise is that this is a vehicle designed for a very particular role, which is now being brought out and used outside that role, illustrating how deep into reserves Russia is scraping for vehicles.

  • Who is a character you feel is overhated and despised too much ?
  • I am viewing from intention as written, when written for the films. It seems plausible that "Darth Jar Jar" or something similar could have been an original, but abandoned intention.

  • It's okay, Buddy
  • The allegories are coming out of the walls man.

  • I'll put it there so I don't have to argue that the crowd isn't full of people stuck on layovers.

  • You know what, if the Circle is owned by the airport then you've got me in regards to it being owned by the airport. However the terminals are across the street, the Circle is open to simply walk into from the street.

    To get to the Circle from the airport terminals you must take your bags and can not reenter. Nobody in the photo stuck on a layover is here unless they are willing to leave the airport and go through security again.

    There were locals because as soon as the game ended, they dispersed down the street and also I took the picture while being invited by locals to watch.

  • Mmm Hmm

  • [OC] Swiss crowd in shopping center watching Switzerland v Italy Euro 2024 match
  • If it’s right across the street, why are there signs pointing to the different terminals in the building

    I don't know what you think you're seeing, but the airport is on the other side of the street.

    Now I’m kinda glad it’s mostly just a bunch of travelers waiting at an airport that would otherwise miss the game

    It isn't a bunch of people inside an airport, it's across the street from the airport. These are locals watching.

  • A very fine box
  • They like sharing spots.

    Games where an emulated console version outclasses the PC port?
  • The console and PC versions of Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter are entirely different games, and personally I think the console version is more fun. It emulatable.
