“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

High price paid

About 15 months ago I wrote a post in which I pointed out that, from the perspective of the highly intelligent, the reason why they are alone is not because of themselves – but because of other people. It is immensely taxing upon the patience and mental...

Friday T&A: Bangkok Dangerous Edition

Another week has gone by, and you all know what that means: at least one hawt chick to look at in order to get the weekend started off the right way. It’s been an interesting week so far, too. The God-Emperor has enjoyed yet another series of economic,...

Good choice

Via Power Line, that is a tweet from His Paxness from back in the days when he was still allowed to post on Twatter. It’s a brilliant quip. In order to understand why, it is worth taking a brief detour through the Progressive Era and the resulting horrors of WWI...

Patton’s speech

If you have never seen the brilliant 1970 film Patton, starring George C. Scott – log off your computer, go to your nearest library (or, more conveniently, find your nearest good streaming service), and spend the next two hours watching it. Now that you have...

Deport the bastards

In this specific case, for once I am not referring to illegal invaders to the United States (or anywhere else, for that matter – though deporting invading aliens is about the kindest thing that can and absolutely should be done to them). No, in this...

I’ll take the hand grenade

Especially after having to witness Mat Best in drag: I do quite like the idea of handling ISIS terrorists using a Barrett M-82 50-cal, though. I cannot imagine a better way to send a goathumper to Jannah, short of maybe a 120mm anti-personnel canister cartridge fired...

Monday morning MMA mashup

Monday. UGH. The only thing worse than Monday morning in the office, is Monday morning in the office with decaffeinated coffee. Honestly, when the world does what is Right and Just and finally sees the wisdom of making me Supreme Dictator and Awesome Evil Overlord of...

“Mortally challenged”

In yesterday’s post about the upcoming new HALO game (pause here while I recover my breath from cheering for a full minute), my buddy Last Redoubt pointed out that there is also a new DOOM game aimed for release pretty soon this year. It’s called DOOM...

Solid advice

“Fiona Shackleton” is not a household name in the United States of America – or pretty much anywhere else, outside of PommieBastardLand. Or even in Ye Olde Englande, for that matter. But within aforementioned PomInfestedPlace, she is quite well...

HALO Infinite

New HALO game. Which as far as I’m concerned is almost as important as the question of who’s going to be the next freakin’ Pope. I can’t believe I missed the announcement trailer dropping at E3 – that was two months ago and...
