Shaun of the Dead would have been impossible with fast crazed zombies. The great thing about slow zombies is that while they are a threat, it's more of an inescapable inexorable presence than an action-heavy scene stealing wild focus. Puts the focus more on how the characters handle the...

My first real job. After a year with them, the company merged with another one that had some sort of stuffy dress policy. I refuse to wear a tie at a job that doesn't require client interaction.

At one point I was "job hunting" - spent literally months just playing Diablo II.

Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel.

Funny thing is, the xenomorphs were always cannon fodder in a straight fight in the movies as well. The predator wears some armour, but given that it leaves enormous tracts of skin visible, I'd guess that it's more for ceremonial value than anything else. The Predator is a stalker by nature, and...

Planescape: Torment. It took ages to find another copy. They recently re-released it on DVD.

Massive disparity there between the "practical" and "dream" guns. :D It's nice to see someone not deciding purely based on rule of cool, though, and the chief's special has a great following as a pocket gun. As an incidental, though, next time maybe find a pic of a DE that doesn't have an...

Just so you know, that's an S&W 629. The .357 from Half-life one was a Colt Python, the original 29's main competition. Was even featured as the "bad cop" gun in oneof the Dirty Harry movies. :D The Colt looks a bit chunkier, and that ventilated rib on top is just sexy as anything.

Explanation: some fellas are of the opinion that handguns aren't useful out to ranges where scopes have the most utility. Of course, those folks have usually never heard of Elmer Keith or of Silhouette shooting. Some guys can pull off miracles with handguns... on a weekendly basis. A scope...

This is truth. Unfortunately, due to the convoluted licensing laws here, it takes forever to get a license and most get turned down. So much envy for the places where it's easier... Ooh, good, solid choice. Nice eye there. :D

I salute your fortitude. :D You do realise that that thing is the size of a desert eagle, making it virtually impossible to carry? Also, it's marketed by Hk as an "offensive handgun" (whatever that is), and that causes problems again should you ever use come to it. Plus it costs a...

Not that I disagree, but I thought we were talking guns here, not gun rights? Moving along, this was my other choice for a first gun: Popular at the time, less so now.

And you'd shoot it maybe once a year, if that. :D The Delta Elite may be a totem gun - one that makes an impression - but 10mm is notorious for working your wrists hard, and one of my buddies has a Delta that he never shoots because he claims that the slide keeps trying to tear off the skin...

Wow, disinformation ahoy. The armour piercing ammunition for the FN is only available to police and law enforcement. The claim that gun owners were more likely to be shot by their own weapons was based on a study of not of private citizens, but of police officers, who in gun circles have...
