Is it just a blasty-shooty movie, or is there more to it as the title implies?
Think I'll see it anyway.

Aha, but it allows all sorts of different commands on an Imac. It is the multi purpose key.
Unlike the one I was talking about, this one - *BOOM*....

Did not by deadly_Sniper a present, I'll wager.

So why is the Mi-24 in the vehicles section? Also, in the mission file for that level, the tag for the chopper is "Hind".
-
One o' them new-fangled dealies. Must be, I've got more keys than you.

That Mi-24 Hind

That Mi-24 Hind... That's the one on the last IT mission, is it not? I was playing that mission with two guys and I recognized the chopper as a Hind, and one of them said "That's no hind, it's an Mi-17"

Never touched the little button between RCtrl and the Windows button. I'm afraid I'll blow up or something if I do.

Just seems that you can generally tell Pc from Console because the Console build invariably looks goofy. That one doesn't even have a TI, let alone a wacky one.

Mmm, I didn't like the GR sounds at all. Much too quiet.

Nnnnnope, I think the author's just a loon.

The thing where you type Weapons of Mass destruction into Google and click "I feel lucky".

Well there aren't any sex scenes per se, it's just that the Author has a very, very sexually-orientated mind. Very. It is smutty, some of the things he writes, and I, as a perfect gentleman, cannot waste my time with such filth.
Like... Hannibal Lecter in his cell. There is absolutely no call for it, but he writes that the smell of disinfectant reminds Lecter of semen. It had absolutely no bearing on anything, and I'm all in favour of lighting some torches and going round to Thomas Harris' house fur a-burnin', y'all.
-
That's what ruined Hannibal for me...
Funny thing is, I've always enjoyed the movies of his books. Maybe he should think about a career change...

Just made The List.

Sort of like Black Hawk Down then. Sort of.
Who is in it? Bruce Willis..?

Exactly.
Although, in his fiction book Liberation Day he did go into rather alot of detail about how his character was going to pull off a job. While he actually knew what he was talking about and that it does take a long time to plan things... I was just hoping he'd hurry up and get to the job.
I thought the same of Rainbow Six. I was enjoying it from the start (when three Rainbow guys plan and execute a quick takedown of plane hijackers by communicating with simple hand gestures such as touching their earlobes etc), but after the second job it began to bore me.
Mind you, this was on a 7 hour train journey where I had nothing else to do, and I still couldn't bring myself to finish it. Luckily (and conventiently enough for this thread), I had a copy of McNab's Immediate Action on the way back.

2nd Ranger: I believe that McNab's favorite way to say it is "I gave him the good news." McNab rarely ever comes right out and says what he means.
Meh, I find it amusing. Anyway, he writes like he's talking to a bunch of SAS squaddies who know what he's talking about, and we all know what he means anyway, and I think it's more believable that way. I mean, he doesn't describe everything down to the last detail, because you don't do that in the kind of situations he's been in. Clancy has the luxury of using his imagination to describe things, and while that doesn't mean that McNab has no imagination, it adds to the belief that he'd done everything he writes about.
In my opinion, anyway.
