It's not full Brandon, but it's getting hard to hide

Felix on Chapo had a great bit about the Brandonization of America. There will never again be a non-Brandon president, it's just going to be decrepit ghouls until the end

No, that one was based on a Mauser C96

But this one would definitely fit in pretty well as a Star Wars blaster too

Israeli officials appear to be editing contrast and angle on images of their airstrikes in Iran and posting them on separate days to appear new. The images below clearly show overlapping details with modifications only to image and resolution. There appear to be many cases this.

An authoritarian axis is rapidly coalescing around China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea

seen-this-one https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axis_of_evil

The phrase "axis of evil" was first used by U.S. president George W. Bush and originally referred to Iran, Ba'athist Iraq, and North Korea. It was used in Bush's State of the Union address on January 29, 2002

Praetorian Guard Security Services

sure, I'll hire a security service named after the guys who famously kept assassinating the emperors they were supposed to guard clueless

Also I just found a different Praetorian Guard (apparently several genius entrepreneurs had the same idea), and these motherfuckers even have a scorpion as their emblem! You know, the famously trustworthy scorpion (although maybe that particular fable's not as famous in South Africa, I dunno, but still)

There are random volcano eruptions, during which some buildings get destroyed - I'm not sure how exactly the game determines which ones (it's not simulated very fancily, you can't see lava spilling out and engulfing stuff or anything like that, some stuff just gets randomly messed up), but I assume proximity plays a role and so these would be destroyed. No space-launching though, just a pile of rubble sicko-wistful

Could be something related to this? https://web.archive.org/web/20121104065408/http://www.smith-wesson.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Category4_750001_750051_757981_-1_757978_757978_image

Although that's for specifically the version manufactured by... Smith & Wesson for some reason? Never knew they made these under license

Yeah, can't even look this show up without adding "australia" in each search. Apparently it was distributed as "Dreamland" in the US, except that doesn't get you anything either since there's some other unrelated show named Dreamland! They really didn't have any luck with the naming.

I'm not sure, it might just be the particular lighting and camera which makes it look kind of uncanny

Gunsmith Cats!

Shame it was just a 3-episode OVA

[–] Tervell@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago

it was actually in Austin Powers:

apparently in Never Say Never Again as well, although I can't find any screenshots of the actual henchmen with it
