Predecessor to the game I recently vilified, Hell’s Highway, Road to Hill 30 gets certain things right, but also continues certain trends of inaccuracies that are present throughout the series of Brothers in Arms. Some might say Road to Hill 30 is a “heavily cinematic” experience. I suppose they might be right; unskippable cut scenes…
Finally hammering this last part of the review out was important. I’ve been caught up in work lately but wanted to take some time out of my Sunday to do it. I think most of the relevant and important information one needs to know about the site is already available in the interview. Despite that…
BLKMKT.org is a dedicated marketplace for tactical and firearms equipment. The founder and the site itself may refer to it as a social media site, but it’s probably best to consider it as a direct alternative to trolling the various forums, Armslist and Gunbroker for deals and sales. I was aware of this site for…
If you are like me, Twitter is one of the only SOCMED accounts you own. I’ve owned/own multiple over the course of years for various reasons all surrounding the intention to collect information or OSINT. Being able to quickly and effectively streamline your consumption of news without relying on aggregates or third parties (Stratfor) is…
The American Red Cross Headquarters is hosting an event that I think everyone in the DC area should try to attend. I’ve attended training and events at the ARCNH before and I’ve found their facility to be well maintained and their attending staff to be generally knowledgeable and pleasant to work with. Humanity in War:…
This is going to be a very short review as there’s a pretty huge problem with the only redeeming side of War Thunder. To be fair, any game that tries to include both an “arcade”mode and a “realistic” mode simply by adjusting some values is usually heading into troublesome waters. In terms of being educational…
This short review will be dedicated to what I saw and experienced as a combat veteran while playing Brothers in Arms: Hell’s Highway. I want to keep these reviews short and to the point. I will focus on aspects of the game that are relevant to this blog. I won’t be discussing its optimization or…
This post is dedicated to the VEP’s function as a backpack. When I was shopping around for a small 24hr pack I found no clear photographs of the backpack straps or any information on the viability of it being used as a dedicated backpack. I wanted to replace my current Mystery Ranch ASAP as my…
I wanted to address the double speak regarding the “train how you fight” mantra in relation to pass/fail training or qualifications. Not all pass/fail training or qualifications run under real life conditions. I was recently participating in firearms qualifications for my job – I decided to shoot with my riggers belt set up how I…
I wanted to write a little bit from the perspective of someone who doesn’t have the legal authority to carry a push button folding machete with blood grooves and gut hooks. The blade on the Kershaw Cryo is 2.75″ which puts this knife solidly in the realm of legal carry in most places (CONUS). Obviously…
