[The Two Jerseys]

When you unexpectedly crush the Red Army with calvary.

New Polish national anthem when?

"This is not a suicide mission"

TEN SECONDS LATER

"This is not a suicide mission"

TEN SECONDS LATER

"Why did my shirt turn red?"

Let the record show that Mon, against all odds, figured out a way to make me post quickly

L-pills are just consumable Zyklon-B canisters. Prove me wrong.

Nobody objected to this crap when it was in Wolfenstein, which redounds to my gain

One of the inaugural research projects of the SIS' special research and development wing, the Universal Combat Communicator (UCC) Mark XXIII is a groundbreaking (and extremely impractical) achievement in the field of military radiology. Consisting of nothing more than a set of headphones and a sensitive headset mic connected to a small waist-mounted powerpack and extremely advanced prototype transmitter, this device theoretically allows secure wireless communications for a distance of up to five miles, assuming terrain is flat and no electronic interference is present.
While the UCC was contemplated for general mass production for the British Army, the idea was declined, primarily because of the huge expense of mass producing such an advanced system. In addition, Army advisers unanimously agreed that allowing all troops access to such a system would inevitably cause chaos in a combat environment with troops clogging up the network with inane chatter, much in the same way common Tommies couldn't be trusted with automatic weapons, sweets, or nice uniforms. One extremely heavy radio per section would be the absolute limit.
Instead, the UCC prototypes would outfit the RAF’s newest fighter unit, 319 Squadron, on their commando endeavors.

Because when the Nazis are fucking around with supernatural shit, a slightly-advanced-yet-still-plausible radio isn't very high on the criticism list...

It was pretty funny when BJ calls his buddies from the Moon, and there's like two seconds of static and that's it, normal WW2 radio kit is perfectly up to the task
(I really enjoy Wolfenstein)

Do they have any idea how much power it would take to transmit that far?

Something something Nazi superscience.

If you haven't played it,

There's an amazing twist halfway through the game where it's revealed that all the next-gen Nazi technology shit actually comes from German archaeologists plundering the storehouses of an ancient Hebrew sect - the Da'at Yichud - who research and innovate all kinds of technological marvels as a means of religious worship, and who have been behind pretty much every major technological advance in history.

All the Nazi superscience was stolen from Jewish people.

The weird selectiveness of Nazi advances - they have warbots and a space program, but don't seem to have perfected computers all that well - is explained in that the Nazis only managed to access a very small number of Da'at Yichud storehouses.

[Grenartia]

I'll have a post up either tonight or tomorrow.

[The Two Jerseys]

So the other week I stumbled across this clip, which apparently came from Wynford Vaughan-Thomas' ride in a Lancaster.

This was quite literally the first time I've ever heard the RAF use "bombardier" instead of "bomb aimer'.

Have you heard the news? The Grenadiers certainly have.

It’s coming home.

What can I say? My phone resolution isn’t good enough to see the cap flashes, and I just assumed. I’m ashamed.

Either way; Russia. Croatia. Penalties. It is, as they say, all kicking off.

I fell asleep halfway through. Who won?

[Goram]

4-3 Croatia. Some really average penalties by both sides, to be honest.

just pretend this break in posting is a break for you all to get hyped about the "World Cup"
instead of what it is,
which is my work now officially ordering me to start working on the weekends

You need a government job like mine.

this is a government job, at least technically

it's just that we have literally no choice now because we're so massively overloaded with stuff that it's the only way we have to get stuff finished
