Ahh, D&D. The rails exploded today, leaving only a few scattered shards of iron. 2 of the 3 potential BBEGs are excised from time or reincarnated as a Neutral infant. The PCs, through a really irritatingly long series of back-and-forth disarm checks (this whole sequence took about 2 hours), finally got hold of the Artifact Macguffin Sword long enough to use it. The werewolf lord ruler of one of the primarily belligerent nations in the Grand Clusterfuck War (not what it was called in-universe, obviously) had his arm torn off by the now-excised necromancer, and is unconscious at the mercy of half the party, trapped in the equivalent of Heaven in this setting. A Demon Lord suffered a complete mental breakdown and was then imploded, returned permanently to Hell. The excised potential BBEG freed a demon god of wood from its prison with his final action, ending the session with a lone PC in the labyrinth beneath a populated castle city, about to face a monster capable of annihilating civilizations, and this PC has got 3 points of Wis damage, 6 points of Con damage, no more spell slots, is exhausted, with 19 hit points (out of 70 something). All he has is the sword, which his will cannot reliably force into proper supernatural usefulness on a whim (it's still an Epic weapon in a level 6 game, though, so there's that).

Shit's about get interesting.

The turtles crossed the road because it was actually an airport runway. Thats a new one to me. Also had a russian accent, impromptu acting, and Miku.

What the Killing Floor DOSH is based on.
MUNNEH MUNNEH MUNNEH!

The Tripwire guys have that sense of humour.

Watched the first 72 minutes of Full Metal Jacket.

I'm not quite sure how I feel about this.

Watched the first 72 minutes of Full Metal Jacket.

That's the only part any body cares about, since the rest of the movie is just kinda weird.  It's basically a movie about incompetence.  You're supposed to have mixed feelings about it.

Oh gods yes.

Also I am slightly happy that the song was levan polkka, or knowing that.

Did someone say "Dosh"?

I just watched Bruce Lee's Enter the Dragon again. For a "culturally important" film, it's kind of ludicrously and hilariously bad at some parts.

No matter how you feel about Kubrick's FMJ, you can't help but admire R. Lee Ermey's performance as brilliant.

It would seem more brilliant if it was the first time you ever saw it, instead of seeing everyone in the world, including himself, parody it first, before seeing FMJ.  I respect shticks but goddamn.

[MarcAFK]

Yeah, gotta respect the dude for his awesome ability to act like the enraged drill sergeant that he actually is.
Odd that you mention the brilliance of his performance being dulled by parodies/imatations, personally i found what ruined the impact was the fact that i had seen him playing the same part in dozens of films/tv shows/documentaries before i actually watched FMJ.
Also, screw you OP, i'll mention all the metal i want!
Brass! Sodium! CLownite makes me happy!

Personally, I'm a fan of Iron and Aluminum. Mostly due to thermite because thermite is glorious.

Also, I'm happy today because of this nice warm feeling I got because I got steam gifted by a friend.~
Many thanks were exchanged and I was happy.

BRotip: It's rust and aluminum in thermite, not raw iron. Iron oxide, which qualifies as an oxide, not a metal, IIRC.

I was quite impressed by the performance, and embarrassed by thinking that the obstacle course stuff looked like a lot of fun >_________>  I guess the thing is that I still kind of can't imagine anyone being so horrible to anyone else.  The shouting and corporal punishment?  Yes, absolutely--I got enough of a flavor of that in math and kendo, and it really isn't that big of a stretch.  The rest of it, though... oh, goodness =/  Just horrible.

First time for me, actually.  I think this may have been the first time I saw him acting in anything... hell, this is the first American war film I've ever seen any of!  The closest I'd gotten before this to any war movie would have to be Downfall and Aliens.

I suspect I've been rendered immune by Homestuck, oddly enough.  ... Says something about Karkat.

Dang girl, I don't know where to start on recommendations, but FMJ would not have been my first.  But yeah, it's not like it's the hardest core thing you've ever seen.

Hmm... I'm not sure what the best war movies to recommend are, but When Trumpets Fade is one of the all time best period.  Good luck finding it though, as an early HBO direct-release.

Go watch Saving Private Ryan. Now.
