  1. I have bought and sold several 1911s but you have options. A lot of options. Rock Island (and others) can get you a very good shooter with all the basics and could be a good first shooter to find what you want. They have a base model and a tactical model both of which are good to go and liked by plenty. $ I didn't like SigSauers 1911. They were different enough from a standard 1911 build that it bugged me so I sold mine. It cost about double what the RIA cost. $$ Colt makes a great base government model that isn't horribly pricey and has all the look of a classic 1911 and looks great just as it comes. It also shoots well. $$ Others in between the RIA and the Colt include Remington, Springfield Armory and all the brands you know and love. $$ Stepping up from there with tighter tolerances include models from Dan Wesson and competition models from STI. $$$ serious investments in shooting. I never got there. STI used to make some base models I wish I had bought, but I don't see them available on their website anymore. But there is a gun for your comfort level in price but most will be great shooters and allow you to customize to make it your own.

    Targeting

    I think there should be some gradation in the punishment on targeting. Obvious disregard for human life: out 4 quarters Poor form leading to a potential concussion: 15 minutes (hockey penalty box style) Incidental but potentially harmful contact with the head despite use of all correct form: 10 yards.
  3. ....”4 out of 12 (25%)”.... that’s some aggy math if I ever saw it.

    PSVR

    I’ve put a couple hours into superhot. Cool idea. Gets a little glitchy if the camera loses track of your wand. But still very fun. I tried Wipeout because I put in serious time on PS1 and PS3 (I think) and love the game. I got instant motion sickness when in the drivers seat. I had to go to a different camera angle. I tried a bunch of demos and the only one I bought was a tank one (battlezone I think) which reminds me of 3D Atari tanks. I have not put a lot of time on it but I will. I thought about getting Dino Frontier (Sim city type set in a old west reality that has dinosaurs), but the reviews say it is really short. Tetris Effect is really cool. Very immersive and they didn’t screw up the classic game in the process. Bravo. I also have Dirt, Batman VR and Rush of Blood waiting to be played.
  5. So I’ve been practicing in the skirmish area. Still haven’t plaid against anyone but 3arc bots. I like that. It’s fun. I’ll venture online sometime soon.
  6. Holidays got me. Time to refocus. 12 pounds up from my 2018 low (194) 6 pounds up since thanksgiving. With a goal weight of 190 I have some work to do.
  7. First: sweet shooter there. I don’t have a beretta yet and I do want one. Second: I remember my first non-budget pistol I bought was a glock. I texted a cop buddy of mine to brag about buying my first “real” gun. And he made some flippant comment about, “great if you like plastic pistols”. It bugged me at the time. I asked him what he carried and it was a Sig P226. I understand his comment better than I took it when he said it. And he was correct, they are different. If you like polymer pistols, a glock is a great option. If you don’t, you could care less. I own and like to shoot both polymer and steel but I enjoy my Sig P226 and CZ75 more than my Glock G19 or CZp10c.
  8. When my kids know one verse of a song and sing it on repeat. Bonus points when they get the words wrong.

    Snatch

    The Tyrone getaway driver scene had me rolling. What’s the matter with that space over there? It’s too tight. Too tight? You could land a jumbo fucking jet in there.

    Snatch

    Do you know what nemesis means? A righteous infliction of retribution manifested by an appropriate agent.

    Snatch

    Tony. Open the dog. Whatcha mean open the dog?
  12. Fuck me. Per Wikipedia “Black Ops 4 is the first Call of Duty title without a traditional single-player campaign mode”. Guess I gotta find a way to kick some tweens ass. I had played and completed the first three CoD BO games. Never occurred they wouldn’t put at least a short campaign on it.

    Shit My Kid Says

    Wen't to eat burgers and after dinner one of my six year olds spots a guy waiting near the bathroom wearing an eye patch. 6yo: You look like a pirate (pointing at the patch)

    Shit My Kid Says

    Just tell her they are SERIOUS about math. Especially addition..
  15. Bought this a few weeks back but haven't played it yet. How is the campaign? There is one right? I've never been a huge multiplayer guy because I can't handle getting shit talked by a 12 year old when frustrated. I might have to try as it seems to be getting a lot of great reviews.

    Spiderman

    Second DLC released recently. Still solid. I've now completed 100% on new game+ and both DLCs. I'll probably put it aside until the last DLC comes out.
  17. FIFY. They’re touchy about that around here. [emoji1598]
  18. Nice. Wonderful staple in any safe
  19. Back to back winners here. Though these both would make me rage. After the Stella arrived, I would have called for the check. Got back In the car and dragged her to the nearest bar with a television.
  20. If Georgia doesn’t care about the game due to letdown, how many future NFLers are going to sit out?
  21. If you squeeze the lock button, you often also squeeze the volume up button. When your pointer finger is on the right button, by orientation of a one handed grip, your thumb is on the volume up. If you squeeze both, it snaps a screenshot.
