Why don't they just give people the option to buy out of field ops and field days? They'd make BILLIONS.

dashgamer [OP](06/18/2015) [-] But I play as a Nazi to kill Russians.
I ******* hate Russians. The USSR was worse than Nazi Germany by a long shot. They imprisoned children in the Siberian gulags for 20 years because they ate produce off of their own farms (the idea being that it was all owned by the state, but the state never fed the farmers, they took the entire crop. Even the catholic church was more magnanimous when it ruled in tyranny over Europe). They imprisoned their own soldiers that had been POWs in German camps because the troops were "infected with European culture". They imprisoned the people that made the world work, the industrialists, the artists, the engineers, because their ******* government was just another version of Robin Hood that stole from those that had earned their lot and that generated revenue and industry and commerce. They broke the infrastructure of their nation. They saw a wooden house and they burned it all in a bonfire to be warm for a day, but were confused when they had no shelter from the cold on the next.
And modern Russia is Nazi Germany reborn, almost. They have this idea of cultural purity, they are appropriating lands for bogus reasons, the world is looking on and doing nothing because the threat of another war seems too intimidating (remind you of the ******* thirties?), they've oppressed their people for the last century (whereas Germany had maybe a decade and a half of government oppression), and they have a charismatic leader.
I'd be surprised if in the next decade we don't go to war with Russians. And if we do, I say it's good, for Russians have been a pox on history since the Mongols robbed them of their dignity and culture in the 1300s.

dashgamer [OP](06/18/2015) [-] The grind isn't that long if you know how to friggin' shoot, lol. People act like the game is a run 'n' gun piece of crap like Cock of Dookey and then bitch when they can't advance quickly.
It can be frustrating at times, sure, but if you've got half a brain you can always prevail. I haven't had a k/d that's been less than 2 in a long, long time.

dashgamer [OP](06/18/2015) [-] Neither do I.
But I'm just saying that I have a kickass k/d most of the time to show that it's pretty ******* easy to advance through the game. It does require a bit of grinding to unlock weapons, but that's because the damned game is free to play.
In my favorite game, Bullet Run, Sony ****** it so hard by changing a system that had a similar grind and free credits. They made free access to weapons a rental system and you could only have the weapons permanently in your inventory if you paid for them. It was complete ******** . They were milking the cash cow for all its worth and turned the game into a piece of **** .
H&G is not like that. Grinding is a necessary evil in f2p games, but it isn't so bad. You'll like it.
Now I have to go pick up my book from the library and work away the day. Later.

canadiancarl (06/18/2015) [-] Take 2: Approaching point B. Nazi's open fire. Drop down in the prone, start capping Nazi's. All of my guys run in and die. I'm the only one left creeping and shooting. Take out a Nazi jeep gunner and wound the driver before he gets capped by an ally. Reinforcements **** yeah. They all run in again and get killed. MFW. I live for about 2 minutes and during that time see 3 groups of allies charge in and get shot and respawn to repeat the process.
The moral of the story is going prone does wonders.

Got the drop on two guys, they were so close I could poke them with my M1. Mag er...clip dumped into them both and wounded a third before getting run over by a truck. Later got in the turret of a jeep and the guy drove past some Nazi's which is when I found out the turret can't aim in a 360 degrees. Get shot. Thanks driver.

I'm not familiar enough with the game to say for sure, I'm not past level 3 yet so I can't play War mode or whatever it is. I know it was a sandbag bunker in a rectangle with a tent over it. I spent the first hour playing America, before switching to Nazi's so I'm pretty low level.

dashgamer [OP](06/18/2015) [-] It's boring. George Martin is a ****** writer. All of his characters feel the same and if you watch the show you can feel it in the excerpts they took from the book to serve as dialogue: it's all the same formulaic, long-winded pontificating crap.
Martin's great and constructing a story, but he's pretty mediocre at telling it. But I've got nothing else to do and have read all of my favorite authors' books five times over already, so why the **** not read five thousand pages of drivel to pass the time?

dashgamer [OP](06/18/2015) [-] My experience with Derp ******* Dad is from the show, and that's as dumb and retardedly "gory" as it gets. It's just boring. The interactions between the characters are bland, the "horror" of the apocalypse is trite and cliche at every turn, the acting's mediocre and often just plain terrible. I've got no desire to read the seminal comics that resulted in that mediocrity of a tv show.
I like to read non-fiction more often than not, but I've read all of William Schirer's histories, the Gulag Archipelago, even Albert Speer's biography, so there's not much else (other than Stephen Ambrose's crap, but he's a terrible author) for me to read aside from fiction.

dashgamer [OP](06/18/2015) [-] I have watched it because I was bored.
I've watched all five of the boring and lame seasons. HBO shows always drag on and on with nothings inbetween events because they think that a slow pace makes drama. Also, it's more formulaic than anything. The scenes are conversations between two of the characters that have the same uniformity: they're plotting or commiserating. The plot advances at the pace of a snail when it could more efficaciously be put forward, but nooo, it's HBO, and the more episodes they have the more profit they have, so they make it fifty minutes of nothing with the occasional glance of some extra in ****** make-up that's supposed to pass for horror.

The repairs turned out to be 1800 and I had to pay 150 for a rental car while they were being carried out, so now I have no money and I don't get paid for another two days.

Never heard that story. The story we got is that apparently bringing apricots on an AAV is a curse somehow. I never really believed it, but I heard a swim instructor say he put apricots by the door as a joke because he knew trackers were coming and their gunny freaked out and they all left. I mean, I didn't go out of my way to bring apricots on the tracks (Why take chances) but there's a line to how much I let superstition mess with me.

canadiancarl (06/15/2015) [-]
I have no idea. It started in WW2 when some guy said that they were unfit for consumption and then a series of weird coincidences played out and the myth was born. But my first thought was why even bring it up? Who eats apricots? But what can I do?

I don't know. there is still a tank trail that goes around all of that. One day we ran a few miles down to the PT track and went swimming through the swamp. It turned into a crawl through some mud that was hot, slippery, and smelled like complete **** . It was okay though.

dashgamer [OP](06/15/2015) [-] Why would you swim in Carolina nastiness? Blegh.
Now that I think about it, I do have another positive memory from CHB: we were running down the tank track while I was at Journeyman's course. I was the only lance there, the rest were corporals and sergeants. This one tall, skinny, bitchmade sergeant made us stop and take a break because he had **** in his shoes.
As he started taking his sneakers off, he said "I've got sand in my shoes, goddamn it!" I whispered to the Marines around me "That's not the only thing he's got sand in."
He overheard and got the message about sand being in his vag, but didn't do **** but give me a nasty look. Bitchmade. Or maybe deep down he knew that I was right and that making us take a ******* break every mile for sand in your shoe makes you a little cunt.

Well, it wasn't my idea. Most of the people around here are decent runners. I've actually been slipping, I need to get back into going to the gym. One good memory I had was when I got sent to PMO for 8 months and found out what OC feels like.
#327 to #326

canadiancarl (06/15/2015) [-]
Turns out it's different person to person. They'd spray your eyebrows and you'd run through a little course that was about 2 minutes long and the whole time I thought it wasn't nearly as bad as they made it sound. Then I was done and the Corpsman washed my face with a hose and washed it all into my eyes... But it only stung and I just walked around blinking and eventually it got better. Other people were shoving their faces into the fans screaming their heads off though. Sucks to be them.

canadiancarl (06/15/2015) [-]
I will admit the gas chamber is nothing like OC. But it's not the same for everyone. The guy who sprayed us was a retired Jacksonville cop and he said of all the hundreds of people he sprayed only one kid couldn't do it.

...No. However people would sometimes drop off food for us, a church group gave us some pizzas once. We stood at the gate checking ID's. When we started on the day shift and we would work Fri,Sat,Sun, and get off for Mon, and Tuesday. Then we work Wed, and Thursday and be off for the weekend. Then we work Mon and Tuesday and be off for Wed and Thursday which was our platoons field day. It wasn't too bad, I got a couple funny/odd moments from it.

dashgamer [OP](06/15/2015) [-] Such as?
I deployed with a guy that was a traffic cop or something with PMO, it was weird. He had all the stupid traffic regulations memorized and made a point of telling other guys from pmo when he saw them so that they knew he had that billet at one point. It was funny. The driver got pulled over and this guy leans out the window over the driver and says "durr, looks like it's a 107.52.352-I-S-U-C143.K-C0CK. Yeah, I used to be in pmo."

This one guy came through with bloodshot eyes when I was on the night shift at a gate by myself and I thought he might have been high because he said he was buying Ice cream and had forgot his ID. It was 3 am. He did have ice cream and wasn't high or anything, but I needed his ID so he went to look for it in the trunk and he had about 20 shoe boxes in there and just searched it but the way he searched he knew it wasn't in there so I called a road unit and he got a ticket. Another time Jacksonville PD brought a sergeant that was walking down the highway drunk so his OOD came to pick him up, don't know what happened to him.

canadiancarl (06/14/2015) [-] Goddamn. I wouldn't do that before a Battalion Formation. Recently we've been practicing for a retirement ceremony on Monday. We were doing rifle drill, and my cover got knocked askew so it covering almost my whole face, but we were told not to move if we made a mistake. I just figured eh, one of the first sergeants or sergeant major's will see me and tell me to fix it. They didn't and we got to do the whole eyes right thing by all the higher ups barely able to see. At least it was just rehearsal.

I guess not. The biggest I've seen was one that was about as wide as an ILBE. Full, it was like a big water bed/pillow thing. You could carry it on your back, but we just strapped it on the inside of out tracks. One of the things we do in Courthouse Bay is if someone is about to EAS we throw them into the ocean. Every month or so you'd see a dude getting carried away by like 5 people to the jetty.

I'm from Hollywood, not flea-bitten Parris. When we weren't running up the hills I'd just run up them myself and everyone hated me because I'd always ask if we could do sugar-cookie runs in the morning rather than lamewalks jogs around the base.

He had a huge above-ground pool and a mastiff that was three feet high, the guy was ******* awesome. I was swimming in the pool when I felt my stomach rumbling, so I got out and asked where the bathroom was, but he told me to just go outside behind the pool because he didn't want the carpet to get wet.
There was a high-rise apartment building behind his yard. People were watching. I pulled down my shorts and took a huge **** behind his pool because he told me to go there... I walked back and asked if I could use some toilet paper.
They all thought I was asking to take a piss and the looks on their faces... I felt retarded. I had to pick up my **** with a plastic bag over my hand and I never saw that man again.

dashgamer [OP](06/14/2015) [-] Oh, uh... I went back to Courthouse Bay for Journeyman's school... It was Halloween of 2009 and I was really depressed and bored, so I went out on the tank track for a run. After about ten miles, I turned back... and about a mile from the bricks I had to **** . I tried to wipe with leaves, but that didn't ******* work, so I had to limp with drying **** inbetween my cheeks. When I got to the O-course I remembered that it was Halloween and I figured that since I was already doing a weird limp, I could just raise my arms and pretend to be a zombie. It took me a half an hour to get from the field to the bricks because I was going so slow and was so absorbed with the zombie thing. When I got there, I started 2spooping Marines with my warcries of "braiiiiiiins" and completely forgot about my ********** ass and just zombied the night away for another two hours.

There's this island in Okinawa called Iwo Shima where they've got a temporary airfield and some fire response guys. One Halloween way back one of the fire response dudes dressed up full black in a ninja costume and went around terrorizing the locals.

I'd probably agree with him, I'm a critical asshole when it comes to movies. Then again, it does have what's-his-nuts StarLord in it, so his acting presence might carry the film for me.

dashgamer [OP](06/12/2015) [-] Let me tell you of a bitchmade corporal that tried to get me ninja punched a month before I got out.
One day in 29 Palms, I was bored out of my mind, so I decided to call my fellow Marines coconuts to gauge their reactions. Just a random word that popped in my head and it got a confused smile the first time so I decided to do it throughout the day. Right before lunch, I called Corporal Kluge, a light-skinned hispanic, a coconut as I had everyone else. He glared at me for a second, then told me to follow him to the office, where he conferred with the platoon sergeant and the WO while I stood outside.
After about fifteen minutes, they called me in and put paperwork in front of my face saying that I was going around, disrespecting my ncos by being racist and bigoted. I had no idea what this was about, but eventually they explained that coconut is a derogatory term for pale hispanics: brown on the outside but white on the inside. They berated me with this ******** until I started screaming at the top of my lungs "I'm not racist!"
After they finally accepted that I had not intended to be racist, that asshole Kluge got his revenge for the imagined slight by telling them to give me paperwork for yelling in the face of those allegations and "disrespecting my ncos" who didn't give me the ******* respect to not accuse me falsely for two hours.
******* bitches, man. "Buh-boo hoo. You called me a name."

Then I got Black Cocks and Black Cocks 2, no idea why... Maybe it was because of that promise of quality and that hope that this time, this time they'll get it right and do something memorable again.
And for some god-awful reason I got Advanced ********** . I watched the wrong reviews and thought that "Hurr durr, this one isn't so bad." But it had the same ****** 2D textures, the same retarded AI, the same glitches, the same naive ******** of a storyline that amounted to a 12 year old's fantasy of world conspiracy, and longer and longer cutscenes. Half the damn game was just out of your control. There was one cutscene that was almost five minutes long and at the end you had to "rapidly press F" to finish it. The game glitched the **** out and no matter how rapidly I pressed F it wouldn't make it a successful action, so I had to watch the entire five minute cutscene over again just to get to the retarded button mashing. I did that about three times before giving up on the piece of garbage entirely and disavowing the series for good, abandoning all hope of there ever being a decent shooter under the guise of Cock of Dookey.

One of the kickers for me was during the advanced warfare campaign, where you sneak around in the woods with a cloaking device that has about 15 seconds of use and you find a machine that can see through the cloak so you have to leapfrog from cover to cover while it scans when we could just walk through the woods and avoid it entirely.

I got so fed up one night that I decided to take revenge on everybody, so I bought a pack of cigarettes and rubbed the filters on my asshole. Don't ask me why I thought this was a good idea, but I did. I went down to the smokepit and told some guy that this was my first pack and I didn't really like cigarettes, so he could just have them. Later, he went to the rec center and started handing out cigs to anyone that wanted them in the smoke pit. He gave a bunch to the utilities and combat engineer Marines, a couple to some aav guys, and at least one to a recon Marine. My buddy told me that he overheard someone saying "Man, these cigarettes taste funny."
I'm not unashamed of what I did, but man... my hatred of Courthouse Bay drove my little 18 year old ass to such lengths.

So I got him an apple and went to a toilet that had been clogged for weeks. And go figure today was they day they finally fixed it. So I held it by the stem and rubbed it on the inside a few times and gave it to him. He set it aside when I gave it to him, but later I saw him eating it and I almost collapsed form laughter.
