The first definitely had a lot more character and was fairly ambitious that’s for sure. I don’t remember if I played the second myself but I think I heard from a few sources it wasn’t great. The third is a pretty radical departure but is certainly fun in its own right but maybe getting it for free over PSN influenced my opinion.

Edit: Time to pay the idiot tax for such an awful page snipe.

Probably told this story before but it’s getting told again. Back during my first deployment to Kyrgyzstan pulling someone else’s punishment TCN deployment because they got med boarded they were finishing up the dual use runway and needed to break it in Kyrgyz style. This apparently involves sacrificing a goat because that makes planes fly better or maybe it makes the runway work better, I don’t know I’m not an engineer. Anyway a truck of Kyrgyz rolls up to the flight line gate with a live goat in the back and a big rear end machete being casually waived about, both catching the eyes of the security forces manning the gate but they pass through with both items no problem and get handed off to their TCN handlers. Goat, machete, Kyrgyz, handlers all make it out to the flight line to meet up with some big wig Kyrgyz and U.S officers and just as planned the goat gets its throat slashed and they spray its blood around, mission accomplished. Except immediately after this security forces arrests the TCN handlers for allowing the Kyrgyz to have a machete on the flight line and using it to kill a goat. They drag the handlers to the straight up base commander happy as clams thinking that they were totally going to get a thumbs up and a pat on the back for their heroics. Instead the handlers were immediately ordered released and as they were leaving all they could hear was the security forces getting chewed up for allowing any of that past the gate in the first place if they thought it was an issue at all.

Basically I can’t believe people are still coming to this forum asking to join because holy poo poo you are either going to end up enlisting and working with/for people that loving stupid or you commission and have to clean up their stupid loving issues.

Mafia 2 at launch was red hot garbage. There was DLC that came out that completely changed the nature of the game, and apparently it became quite good but it was so annoying at launch I never bothered playing it again.

Mafia 3 has a similar issue. The storyline and story missions are very good, but the majority of the gameplay consists of repetitively doing the exact same things over and over until you fill a meter that lets you do the next story mission. The DLC missions are structured like sensible games and are way more interesting.

Funny you say that, when I blew out my meniscus the PT knew it was that even before I got my CT scan because I was waking up a lot in the night. It was the first question she asked when I mentioned my knee pain. I guess the way people move in their sleep involves a lot of meniscus poo poo.

People sleep in really hosed up, twisted positions. Guess what one of the big diagnostic tools for a meniscus tear involves? Moving your leg around while manipulating your foot to force tib/fib rotation with sudden "drops" from letting go of the previously supported knee, seeing if you get that "speed bump/catch" from the torn meniscus flap being shifted around to flop inward.

McMurray test, for anyone curious enough.

Let's see - Gave my self a 5 inch cuton the top of my head via smacking my dome off an air conditioner standing up after hopping a fence. Never got it stitched so I have a nice little dent on the top of my head to this day. Fell off a pylon while doing jump squats, nice two inch cut on my shin that also never saw the proper medical attention. Gave myself a matching scar on the other leg with a pair of scissors (literally running with scissors). Went about a decade without getting any more major scars before breaking my little toe, on a bedpost, at ten in the morning last year. A few days after the fact, I was whipping the end of a shoe lace with a lighter (burning the end so it wouldn't rip to pieces) when a drop of molten plastic landed on my finger, giving me another scar.

That's about it, honestly. I was literally in a program where I dropped large dead trees, escaping various brushes with death/lifelong injury by the skin of my teeth, but I'm a more a danger to myself than pretty much anything else. There's more than a few scars on my body that I don't know the cause of - I have a nice long scar on my shoulder (the meat between the clavicle and scapula) from either a particularly aggressive lover or a particularly hard football tackle.

I've had limited feeling and movement in my left pinky for 3 months because it getting wedged in a weird position between a bookshelf and a window box while sleeping. Almost definitely tore something, bit its gradually getting better. I didn't go to a doctor about it because the Rona was getting geared up.

Friend of mine had a guy in his squad who unbeknownst to everyone else was prone to sleep walking. They were sleeping on a rooftop while in Iraq and the dude sleep-walked (slept-walked?) right off the side of the roof. His injuries plus this undisclosed medical issue got him sent home.

Th dude sitting down obviously took a bite of his freedom sandwich then shamefully pulled up his stupid bandanna because he knew he was gonna be documented. Are they part of the second amendment dicks that stand around capitol buildings trying to intimidate politicians? Are they trying intimidate the sandwich artist to give them double meat for free or the guy with the AT4 will kill everyone including himself? Are they actually fuckin cosplayers, with the fake weapons? I am so confused by this. Gun furries.

I reckon you've got a the most common stories there all represented. Flag shirt gotta prove he's a big man. Sandwich fellow with the Fresh hat looks like he was talked into it by someone who thought it was gonna be cool and fun and now realizes that these people are loving nuts. Fake fiddy is doing it for the chud 'gram. Old dude looks like he really wants his family to own people as property again, and the guy with the rifle slung across his back doesn't fully approve but he's just glad to be out doing things again after the divorce.

And KSG kid is shopping for potential sex slaves that can be acquired when he starts his murder rampage.
