There was a PC adventure game in the vein of the Monkey Island games. Maybe the DVD had a preview of that?

 

 
 
 

Full description from display: "Private William Henry Freeman was only 18 when he enlisted in the US Army in 1862. He served in Company B of the 169th New York Volunteer Infantry and went on to receive a Congressional Medal Of Honor for his heroism during the Second Battle of Fort Fisher."

Medal citation: "For The President of the United States of America, in the name of Congress, takes pleasure in presenting the Medal of Honor to Private William Henry Freeman, United States Army, for extraordinary heroism on 15 January 1865, while serving with Company B, 169th New York Infantry, in action at Fort Fisher, North Carolina. Private Freeman volunteered to carry the brigade flag after the bearer was wounded."

I want to use this picture for the community banner.

Lemme do two shows:

Kings just had a premise too esoteric for this world. It was like a retelling of the story of king David set in modern times in a constructed world that's like ours though the Bible doesn't exist within that world. There's all sorts of remixed biblical strangeness in it.

Jericho was like if one of those "mystery box" shows actually had a thought out plot that moved forward. Nuclear explosions go off around the country, not-Blackwater PMC guys work for not-Dick Cheney, and the main characters just keep getting sucked in to a ramp up for a post apocalyptic civil war.

I really disliked the first few episodes of Universe. The Battlestar Galactica reboot's grimdark edge was bleeding in very strongly. The show does mellow out on that as it goes. The basic character friction is still there, but toned way down and characters are usually finding common ground.

The first words of the article:

So this is interesting. Just weeks after Google’s campaign to promote Android as being more secure than iPhone, the smartphone battle has taken a sudden twist.

The card next to it didn't have much information. I searched online for a little bit only finding that the artist has done numerous pieces with wood and stone like this. Similarly without deep explanations that I could find.

I actually enjoy not knowing the intent.

I mean Nurgle's origin specifically.

From my understanding he was always around, what with being the embodiment of entropy.

The idea of an alien civilization getting too into indulgence and creating a chaos god and dooming itself sounds a lot like Slaanesh and the Eldar.

a chaos god forged from an advanced civilizations’ indulgence and corruption taken form in a rift between worlds formerly used for deepspace travel, thereby making the rift unusable and leading to the destruction of that race.

Where's that from?

The algorithm that brought this photo to my eyes is. Maybe I’m jumping at shadows but the country music HURAH isn’t organic.

Who made the LW algorithm inorganically push propaganda that lines up with Trump's agenda?

Or are you suggesting the upvotes themselves are fake? That rather than people simply being interested in the photo, that there are bots waiting to push the insides of a battleship because that translates into political gain?

Parody of an armchair commando and an armchair commando look identical at first glance, unfortunately. A result of the ol' texto communicato.

I've already posted lots of military history that I've gone to the effort of traveling to see and document myself. I've posted this at whatever times I've had free to sort through it. Current news has never factored in to the timing of the posts. I am going to keep visiting historical sites and making posts about them. If you find a connection between historical sites and unrelated current events, that is out of my control.

I presume he didn't wear/carry everything in the pic all at the same time. Like the alternate rifle uppers- I doubt he carried them both. AK probably for some low visibility loadout reason.

This was an early 2000s CIA guy, honestly not operating in a way cromulent with a ton of mags. Though if he was going somewhere he could easily take 7 mags no problem.
