“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.”

Predators go for the weakest prey

Predators go for the weakest prey

Gentlemen, what do lions, wolves, cheetahs, tigers, and other large hunting animals have in common? There are many things, but one major common element, is that they try as much as possible to go for the weakest and easiest prey wherever possible. This helps them to...

Bungie jumped

For those of us who love HALO, the name, “Bungie Studios”, is one that we treat with great reverence. HALO fans – who make up a significant portion of this site’s readership – regard Bungie as the producers of the three greatest FPS games ever...
The Farce is with us, always

The Farce is with us, always

Most of us generally have better things to do – especially as we get to around middle age, or thereabouts – to waste time on nostalgia. Life goes on, things change, and there is little point in worrying about what could or should have been. So it is with...

The absolute and appalling state of PommieBastardLande

Take a look at the picture above. Where do you think it was taken? Calcutta? Manila? Addis Ababa? Cairo? Nope. All wrong. That picture is from Great Britain’s second largest city (by population) – Birmingham. And that picture is a summation of everything that is wrong...
The GR8est show on ice

The GR8est show on ice

I am not a big hockey fan, simply because I do not watch sports, in general, unless it involves two men standing in a ring or octagon, beating the snot out of each other. However, given our Canuckistani friends like to say that hockey is basically MMA on ice –...

The Crusade from Spamalot to retake the Holy Live

For those of you who follow Christian polemics against Izzlam, you will be aware of Tha Dizzle’s recent call-to-arms, in which he stated bluntly that 2025 is going to be the greatest year for the subject in its entire history: We are no longer in the dark days of the...
The Great Izzlamick Schism

The Great Izzlamick Schism

For those who are not well-versed in Izzlam, the whole Sunni vs Shi’a divide does not really make a whole lot of sense. It is like listening to two particularly stubborn – and, frankly, not very intelligent – siblings arguing over N’Sync or the Backstreet Boys, except...
Domain Query: Risk vs Reward

Domain Query: Risk vs Reward

Today’s query comes from LRFotS Randale6, who has a rather interesting and very germane set of questions about the reasons why lower-ranked men in the SSH choose high-probability poor-quality outcomes, over lower-probability (thus riskier) but higher-quality...

All the President’s mental blocks

That image from the DURRbate between His Most Illustrious, Noble, August, Benevolent, and Legendary Celestial Majesty, the God-Emperor of Mankind, Donaldus Triumphus Magnus Astra, the First of His Name, the Lion of Midnight, may the Lord bless him and preserve him,...
We found the Whore of Babylon

We found the Whore of Babylon

Hot off the heels of the antics of one Lily Phillips – remember her? – who managed to cry herself into headlines around the Western world, we now have the exploits of her one-time bestest buddy, Bonnie Blue. This involves yet another case of yet another British lass...
