Hail to the Chief.

Guest Etiquitte Redux (PT2: The Zombie Wars)

Everyone tells me that when the breakdown of social order occurs, that they’re coming over to my house. After much pondering on the logistical strain of allowing you filthy vagrant refugees inside of our perimeter, I had an epiphany. I decided that I have to set simple guidelines for those that believe that their salvation lies within the hallowed halls of their savior’s (me) impregnable fortress. These guidelines and their implementation will be known as The Zachary Contingency, named after the most likely threat during these trying days. Follow these rules and be guaranteed your safety. Failure to obey will result in you being tossed back out with the rest of the

Here’s the basic breakdown:

1. You must be prior approved for lodging here. When arriving, ring the bell on the gate and wait for further instruction.
2. Do not bring uninvited guests. Doing so will cause your ass to be left to fend for your unprepared selves.
3. Bring at least two weeks food per person, and at least one gallon of water per person per day.
4. Bring your own toiletries. TP, toothbrushes, and soap are among the things that I will not be providing you with should you, by some miracle, be permitted to stay.
5. Bring your own means of defense. Preventative maintenance is your chore, not mine. I will, however, provide support for a weapons platform that I have a stock of parts for (M4/AR15, Glock 17/19/34). You should supply your own (900 Rounds Minimum per Rifle, 500 rounds minimum per handgun) ammunition and magazines (14 per rifle, and 5 per handgun). Some means of carrying ammunition is also required.
6. Have some kind of skill, ability, or equipment that is needed.
7. Be prepared to perform daily tasks appointed to you. The more valuable the skillset you have is, the less crappy of a job you will be assigned.
8. Insubordination will not be tolerated. If you don’t like the way things are ran, get the hell out.
9. Bring your own damn batteries. You will not be using mine.
10. Bring tools, such as (but not limited to): chainsaw, machete, hatchet/axe, cordless drill, hammer, genset, PVs/Inverter/Battery Bank, etc.
11. Bring your own mode of transportation. If you do not assist in the construction of the Doom Buggy, you will not be riding in the Doom Buggy.
12. FUEL is required. Diesel, gasoline, LP, or NG, depending on what we agree upon prior to your departure. We have to generate electricity somehow, and I can’t afford to go solar yet. Sorry.
13. Read the first two articles on this subject. Obey them.

We’ve come a long way, baby…

Thousands of years ago, in 1958: A man named William Higinbotham, while working at the Brookhaven National Laboratory, created what is regarded to be the first video game. That game, known as ‘Tennis for Two’, was a crude simulator of tennis, or table tennis.

Fast forward 49 years.

BungieSoft announces the release of the final game in the current Halo trilogy for the XBOX 360: Halo 3. Halo (if you didn’t already know) is the (r)evolution of console based First Person Shooters, blending not only immense outdoor environments, but epic battles on some grand, intergalactic scale.

This, is Tennis for Two:

This, is Halo 3:

Next time you turn on your console to prepare yourself for The Great Journey, take a moment to pay proper respect to the man that made it all happen: William Higinbotham.

One Game to Rule Them All (Or, 15 things to do while waiting for Halo 3)

20 Days, 18 Hours, and some totally random number of minutes and seconds that correspond to the amount of time I’m going to be bored to death waiting for the release of Halo 3.

So, what to do in the meantime?

A quick list of things you can do to pass the inconsequential moments between now and Midnight on September the 25th:

1. Watch the trailers. All of them. Obsessively. Watch them until your spouse wants to cave your skull in with a soup spoon.
2. Watch them again.
3. Browse through the directory saved on your desktop entitled ‘3′, which contains all of the Bungie released artwork, storyboards, assorted videos, and screenshots relevant to the aforementioned rapture of your mind and body to the joyous land of 0wn4g3. You DO have said directory, right?
4. Play Halo 2. Play against random people, and shout senseless obscenities while you murder them time after time. Play until your optical nerves detach and your eyes become blind, lifeless mirrors into your empty soul.
5. Formulate possible H3 Montage possibilities as you go through your mp3/wma playlists. Queen goes very well with Halo.
6. Break out the notepad and scribble down all of the possible uses for Forge in various maps. Cross-reference with corresponding overhead shots of said maps.
7. Decide who will be with you on the day of September 24th, while you try to score your copy of H3 early. If such scoring fails to occur, self-immolation by means of dousing yourself in Mountain Dew Gamer Fuel and igniting with your overheated 360 is mandatory. Sorry, no exceptions.
8. Stock up on the aforementioned Gamer Fuel, Monster, HotPockets, and other snacks that need be consumed to prevent your sorry sack of flesh from expiring whilst being owned by Brute Pack after unforgiving Brute Pack.
9. Play through Halo, then Halo 2 on Legendary, compile all relevant story data, and deduce what you actually know about Halo thusfar.
10. Try not to die for three more weeks.
11. Be well rested leading up to the 25th. There will be no rest after that.
12. Make a list of stuff to do prior to the 25th that may need to be done in the days after. I’m not suggesting you break from playing to do them, I’m suggesting doing them prior. This does include making sure you need not call into work on the morning of the release to explain why you won’t be showing. Come up with a really good excuse beforehand. Your mom caught on fire or something, and had to be sent out of state to a burn trauma center. That’ll give you a few days to finish the fight. If your employer happens to know your mother, proceed to discreetly set her on fire.
13. Read a good book, or watch a good movie. I just finished Return of the King (again), because my wife tires of hearing, “You are, all of you, vermin,” or, “I have defied Gods and Demons,” booming through the house dozens of times a day.
14. Customize your controllers, console, headset, gaming chair, minifridge, etc to meet UNSC standards. I prefer Multicam, as it allows me blend into my living room.
15. Be prepared for the possibility of a divorce. The Covenant does NOT give a rat’s ass whether or not your spouse left you.

As an added bonus, here’s a image cropped from one that you’ve already seen… And yes, it was stolen off the main page of Bungie.net site. Rejoice.

*NOTE: I am NOT responsible for your actions, and do not recommend, nor condone setting your mother on fire.

7×46MM

And I’ll try to post some specs on the 7×46mm according from Dr. Gary K. Roberts, if I can get the approval from him to do so. To say the very least, this is a very promising cartridge.

And another thing…

If I can scare some Masada images out of MagPul, I’ll host them. It won’t be until late next week at the absolute earliest.

Oh yeah…

I haven’t forgotten about the primary reason I started the blog (firearms related goodness). I might actually post some reviews up tomorrow if nothing comes up. No promises.

I love America… But I hate the fucking people that live here.

Personal/Social responsibility/accountability have left the building. We’re all a bunch of spastic, irresponsible fucking retards.

To sum up my thoughts on how to live a more fruitful life:

1. You are not limited by your income. You are limited by a complete lack of character and the inability to perform any task which makes use of problem solving skills that most lesser primates have mastered.

2. Do not spend more money than you make. Want to live better? Work SMARTER not HARDER.

3. Efficiency is king, not money. The greentards have it right to a degree, even though they don’t know why. Low-impact living is inexpensive through efficiency.

4. Learn something new every single day. Gain knowledge and skills.

5. Stop asking for so much. The less you ask from the government, the less they’ll take from you. Anything they can do, you can do better. Which leads to:

6. Bureaucracy breeds inefficiency. The more people that are involved, the more things get screwed up. It’s a shame we let people that operate this way educate our children when they manage to screw up every other thing they touch. Do things for yourself.

7. Time is money. The less time you spend wasting time, the more you’ll spend making money.

8. Stop being so lazy. And stupid.

9. Stop agreeing with me if you are a goddamn idiot. Seriously, you weaken MY position by parroting a position you heard on TV or read on some e-tards blog. Like mine.

10. When the Zombie Wars begin, just give yourself up and let them eat you. Please. I can handle a few more zombies at the cost of a few less sheep.

11. For the love of all that is Holy, THINK FOR YOURSELVES! If you absolutely ignore everything else that I have and will ever write, PLEASE listen to this.

Anyhow, enough ranting for now. I’ll write up something in the next few days that’s not me bitching about all of you tards.

Ok Europe…

I apologize. I’m an ass.

So, do me a favor… Someone sell me some Oberland Arms parts. OA won’t respond to my emails, and I need the bolt catch, selector (ambidextrous, preferably), and mag release. I need some other stuff too.

Hook a brother up.

If you’re willing to help a bastard like me out, let me know via comment (and by leaving your real email address).

Thanks in advance.

MagPul PDR, some details…

Well, the newest rifle design from Magpul isn’t really a rifle. It’s barely a subcarbine. It’s short. REALLY short.

Need an idea of how short? Take a lower receiver with an M4 stock, and extend the stock out all the way. From the end of the buttstock to the tip of the lower. That’s how short this thing is, with a 10.5″ barrel.

With 5.56, you have a package capable of doing everything the MK18 does, but with 8″ less length.

The receiver is slim… How slim? Try an inch.

So far, its the most promising bullpup design I’ve seen… And I actually halfass like the AUG.
