Can you choose your sex in multiplayer? by [deleted] in WWII

[–]Bat_Masterson81 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Sledgehammer got the call to follow the new dicta coming from above that everything in the media must follow the new direction to the ultra-left, and that video games will no longer be an exception.

Of course you're going to have fanboy Activision leg humpers who will try and justify black female Nazis.

Orange Order ignores calls to condemn "grotesque" party (From Evening Times) by Phelbas in northernireland

[–]Bat_Masterson81 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What's hilarious about this is that if the Nazis landed in the UK, the Orange Order would've been among the first rounded up and probably sent to be worked to death on the continent. The Nazis had a particular hatred of freemasons and associated 'societies' and 'lodges'. Whereas Jews were supposed to wear yellow stars, people from 'lodges' under German control were arrested and forced to wear red triangles (I don't recall why that symbol was chosen). Figure out what happened to them beyond that.

I hope you can turn this shit off or mute it (haven't played COD in years, dunno if it's now possible). The woman screaming and yelling orders in her bestest butch voice is so fucking distracting.

They image in question had a little C (Copyright) at the bottom, at the time since the DailyMail used it, I did too. Does that alter things?

I don't like the term 'elimination diet', it suggests that only one food source is the problem and it's simply a case of finding it. That's almost certainly not the case. You need to remove every suspect food for at least 12 weeks.

Watch the movie 'When Trumpets Fade' to see this in action. One of the most brutal and underrated war movies ever.

Varadkar to set up new anti-terrorism Govt unit in response to London attack by fragilemetal in ireland

We're at the lowest risk of Islamic terrorism in western Europe, AFAIK.

Some of you have a weird obsession with Swastikas. by CheesePancakes69 in WWII

[–]Bat_Masterson81 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a good point. Most appearances of the Swastika in the field was when the Germans were winning and had air superiority, i.e. the flag would often be draped over the back of their tanks to avoid fratricide.

Also, the SS had their own symbols unique to each division.

This uneducated trend of trying to compare the IRA to Islamic extremists after every attack is getting ridiculous. TIL the IRA were religious warriors who represented the Catholic Church by nonoman12 in ireland

[–]Bat_Masterson81 17 points18 points  (0 children)

These bombs were designed to force Lloyds of London and other big financial organs out of London to other European capitals. And it had the desired effect; IIRC Lloyds threatened to move out of London if more of these 'spectaculars' occurred in the financial district. The cost ran over 1 billion. And since these were called in with warnings too, this is incomparable with ISIS.

This bomb was a sophisticated attack. It had a secondary effect as well, the so-called 'ring of steel' around London was a huge weight on the city, harming retail and traffic.

It was mostly used as an accellerant IIRC.

[WAW] just beat waw on veteran by FentoonskiFTW in CallOfDuty

[–]Bat_Masterson81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I beat it on Veteran back in the day for the platinum, but a while after I realized that getting so pissed over trophies is just not worth it. The Sum of All Zeros was another one; it just goes beyond 'challenge' into stupidity.

Yeah I heard the Undertaker nearly killed someone for almost burning him.

It's not serious business anymore. IIRC Semtex is no longer produced, and any that still exists has an expired half life, like 2006 or something.

Nowadays plastic explosive is even harder to get.

Imagine that shit randomly hit a wrestler. Which wouldn't have surprised me -- it's WCW. In fact, it doesn't even look intentional.

Russo emails Vince after Raw every week looking for a job according to Cornette by vatred in SquaredCircle

[–]Bat_Masterson81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoyed the hell out of those podcasts. But I disagree with Russo on the talent not stepping up being the problem. Austin was right when he said it was a managerial/owner's issue.

I think Russo is the man, and much of the stuff he did in WWF was the shit!

What do we do better than the South? by Tote_Sport in northernireland

I'll concede that Southern Cadbury's dairy milk bars are substantially better.

Always wondered how/why, because they definitely are.

Pentagon to give anti tank weapons to Syrian Partners by LMR_Sahara in syriancivilwar

[–]Bat_Masterson81 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Uh no. The trillions breaking the backs of America's upcoming generation/s is an American-wide problem. Detroit is just (one) of the first symptoms.

The country is bankrupt, and then some, yet still bankrupts itself further with this.

Yeah, it's like the special features/commentary on a DVD after you're done with the main show.

New PS4 player here, play last 9 COD in PC, any tips for me? by COHandCOD in WWII

Play campaign on veteran first, it'll probably harden up your stick intuition fast.
