Tomahawk... Bayonet?!?!

I think we should deploy this to all the RP's and Personnel on guard duty at all camps.... may make them more fearsome! ;)

From Kitup!

That’s correct: DOD has announced the (initially) limited deployment of the IMPBTB (Inverted Multi-Purpose Ballistic Tomahawk Bayonet). The initial IMPBTB issue will go to SOF units (as might be expected) but long-term is expected to be issued out to every rifle in the inventory (at least those with a Pic rail, the MIL-STD-1913 rail or even the STANAG 2324 rail).

“The IMBTB is a combination of military hardware in one sleek and deadly package. It was designed to fit nearly all of a soldier’s combat needs while remaining somewhat unobtrusive and tactical,” said Major General John Manning of Army Research, Development and Engineering Command…”

Curiousity has Landed!

... and Mars looks like a desert on Earth! Seriously though, the planning for the whole thing and the nerve-wracking wait must have really been one helluva experience for the guys at the JPL. So what will they find? Will an alien photobomb the curiosity's camera pics? :)

1/48 Diecast Airwolf

There's gonna be a re-issue of the Aoshima diecast Airwolf in 1:48, guess it goes with the apache i bought; 1/72 helis ARE kinda teeny. Interesting fact below!

"The flying Airwolf helicopter was actually a Bell 222, serial number 47085, sometimes unofficially called a Bell 222A. During filming of the series, the helicopter was owned by Jetcopters, Inc. of Van Nuys, California. The helicopter was eventually sold after the show ended and became an ambulance helicopter in Germany, where it crashed in a thunderstorm and was destroyed on June 6, 1992, killing all three crew members.

The concept behind Airwolf was a supersonic and armed helicopter that could blend in by appearing to be civilian and non-military in origin — "a wolf in sheep's clothing". Airwolf's insignia patch, as designed by artist Andrew Probert and, as worn by the flight crew members, was a snarling wolf's head with bat wings that appeared to be wearing a sheepskin, complete with the head of the lamb over the wolf's forehead; a direct play on the saying."

This release is the original cobalt blue, and there's also a limited weathered version.

Armored Kill - BF3

Guess i'm kinda looking forward to this, since i technically 'own' it already cos of the premium account (Thanks $$EA$$). It's be nice to see all out vehicle warfare, but i wonder how they'll handle the heavy tanks and vehicles since :

- Tank round don't do shite against infantry
- Aerial vehicles RA*E all ground vehicles
- Infantry can't do shite against Air vehicles

If they can balance all that out, then i'm sure it'll be a blast!

DOOM 3 - BFG Ed.

Always been fond of the DOOM series, cos that was what really jump started the FPS genre (not forgetting the granddaddy WOLF3D of course!), I remember spending countless hours on my old 486 shooting imps, cacodemons and those goat headed thingys. :p

Doom II was a slight update to the original, different enemies like the annoying revenant, and updates like the double barrelled shotgun. Then Doom 3 came along. When it was released, it was buggy as hell, and the graphics power needed to run it was crazy, but when it was running, it was glorious fun albeit rather dark.

Come this October, a new version call 'Doom 3 - BFG edition' will be released, it's been over 7-8 years already? I wonder if i'll still be creeped out by the lil' baby demons! There'll be news missions again, and an update in gfx (i hope), it better be at a budget price though! :P

Booooo!

Upcoming release from LEGO! Don't really collect the Monsters series, but i like the aesthethics of the building. :) Let's see what the local price will be like, prob cheaper than Star Wars stuff!
