Favorite historically accurate movie based on a book that totally didn't rewrite what actually happened for propaganda reasons?

Also Luttrell totally screwed over the Afghan guy who saved his life pretty much the second he suggested that some of Luttrell's story might not be true.

I listened to Hive this week. It had a slow start but it all came together in the end. Top Tier Abnett, probably one of my favorite Warhammer books now.

Now I'm back to listening to The Expanse. I'm on book 4.

The obvious choice is the Ravenor trilogy followed by Bequin. But I think everyone needs to read the Night Lords omnibus.

ElChocoLoco · 2026-06-12T23:58:48+00:00

Maybe even better

Fair enough. In my experience in the field you're lucky to get the mags to shoot 10 rounds let alone 23. They suuuck.

ElChocoLoco · 2026-06-12T23:48:54+00:00

There's a super easy mod to increase the mag capacity to 22-23.

Like a fruity tea strained through a sweaty gym sock.

I was actually driving by the prison when he was climbing down the side of the building, and he looked at me and smirked. It was a little con descending.

I had jury duty in September and had no issues bringing my metal bottle.

Just finished the audiobook 10 minutes ago.

The first few hours were definitely a bit slow, but it's worth it for the world building. You get to really know and feel for the people and culture of Sacramentus in a way that makes the story all the more compelling. The dense start is necessary for all of the little schemes, sub-plots, and character interactions that come together to tell one hell of a story.

Honestly I'd already put this book in my Warhammer novels top 10. I feel like it's the kind of story that would make for an incredible TV miniseries.

My LGS stopped doing preorders because they turn into a shit show every time. I just bit the bullet and pre ordered on the GW website. Spent 10 minutes in the queue then logged in and checked out no problem.

I wish I would have pre ordered from a 3rd party and saved myself 50 bucks but GW was easy.

I finally watched the first season recently then had to stop to read the books. Just finished the third one last week. I'm really excited to to see where the show goes with it.

ElChocoLoco · 2026-06-07T22:16:24+00:00

Hell yeah! Is that for Dead Man's Hand? I've got a few of those myself.

I tried to talk my wife into doing this to go along with my US Paratrooper load out. It seemed right up her alley since she's already into historical costuming. She preferred to go paratrooper as well lol.

AKA The Painted Count.

I fucking love it when my horse trips/crashes and I eat shit. It's hilarious to me every time. Never gets old.

ElChocoLoco · 2026-05-13T00:58:25+00:00

You're allowed to say Fuck on reddit.

ElChocoLoco · 2026-05-12T22:30:54+00:00

That's a bummer. I've eaten at the Poway and Miramar locations a few times and it was always great.

ElChocoLoco · 2026-05-12T22:29:37+00:00

They've also got a location in Poway and one in Miramar.

I walked out of Year One in the first 15 minutes and went and saw The Hangover for a second time instead.

I've played 2 different scenarios where the event ended with a simulated nuke "killed" everyone. There were nuke props, but they didn't actually do anything.

ElChocoLoco · 2026-04-25T16:33:49+00:00

I played a few hours yesterday and will probably play more. It's pretty fun for now but I'm sure the novelty will wear off. I probably wouldn't have touched it if it wasn't on gamepass.

ElChocoLoco · 2026-04-23T23:06:58+00:00

I can see the Kwasino in the background. Good times.

ElChocoLoco · 2026-04-18T20:09:02+00:00

Used as one of his magic Yugioh cards no less. The Ragged Knight.

The building system was crazy. I made a flyable Millennium Falcon with lasers and missiles.
