I have never denied being a douche...in fact, I happily admit to it lol. I'm being grouchy over nothing, at the end of the day I'm pissed off because I've been killed a few times and it's unfair. But I've just finished a wee mercenary deatchmatch game on skidrow and both me and the entire...

I've noticed over the past four to five months that a dreadful thing has happened to me, I've literally (and I mean that in every sense of the word) grown an addiction to Modern Warfare 2's online multiplayer. Not specifically because MW2 is an addictive game but because I generally have an...

My Troop Sergeant and the Company Sergeant Major...oh, also the Brigade Sergeant Major. Let me put it frankly, folks, if you don't Admire/ Respect/ Always Listen To The Opinions Off any of these people no matter whether you're in the Royal Marines, the US Army or the bloody postal battalion...

Mister Pack J. Mann ...I could walk around eating all day with a name like that.

I've been bloody twitching with anticipation for this to come out. I go to help with some training in Poole with my work shortly and I reckon I won't get a lot of time to play it :( Can anybody vouch for the Pitt or Op Anchorage? Are they worth getting at all?

I still say religion. The reasons why I blame organised religion are far too great in number to explain. But seeing it first hand through my family, friends and work has made me feel this way. I'm watching evangelical Christian headcases prophesise and encourage working towards doomsday as well...

I blame religion for the world's impending downfall. On a political, economic and globally fuck-up-people scale. I'm probably more scared of Christianity these days than Islam...although to be honest they all seem to be as bad as each other.

Oh wait I have more! Ripley: "Where are your parents?" Newt: "They're dead, okay, can I go now!?" - Aliens, frigging love it when she says that. Oscar Wilde: "It takes a true friend to stab you in the front."

"Most people learn by observation, and there are a few who learn by experimentation. And then there are those who actually TOUCH the fire to see if it's really hot." - Anonymous LOVE that quote! "Ooh rah I wanna hurt somebody, ooh rah I wanna kill somebody - WAAAAAARRRRR!" Battle cry...

I'm a marine, that's the commando crest and my name is Neil 'nuff said :)

My real-life work nickname is Skip. That's a simplified version of Skippy which is what my section commander has called me since I was integrated into the troop. Apparently it's because I have big legs and I look like I'm skipping when I run. Skip just stuck after that but only fellow squaddies...

Where do we draw the line when gaming begins to really reflect aspects of reality? No I don't mean a game where you pay a mortgage, help your kids with homework and keep your house tidy each day but more your box average gameplay from FPS to RPG's, perhaps even strategy games. One of my...

Hey - I'm only saying, y'know? For those people that shall whinge about how unfair and unrealistic it can be. *covers own arse and runs away*

Frankly - yes! I have an eerie view of the world falling apart through these games lol.

I'm a Royal Marine. I joined mostly through my own stupidity and encouragement from a friend who is no longer a friend. I love my job and I also love war films but the real thing is very different. If any film was to encourage me to join the forces - it would be Braveheart :)
