    Fight me! There isn't such a thing.

    If we can allow the Irish to think of themselves as human beings, then we can let the occasional Englishman think he’s good.

    On Sunday, Vince Zampella, executive vice president at EA, head of Respawn, and one of the devs who helped create Call of Duty, was killed in a car crash in Southern California.

    On Monday, NBC4 reported that Zampella was killed in a single-car crash involving a 2026 Ferrari 296 GTS that happened on December 21 at 12:45 pm local time on a road north of Los Angeles in the San Gabriel Mountains. California Highway Patrol told the outlet that the car veered off the road and collided with a concrete barrier. The car’s passenger was ejected from the vehicle. The driver was reportedly trapped in the ensuing car fire and died at the scene. The passenger reportedly died later at a nearby hospital.

    The 55-year-old game developer was one of the key people behind the creation of Call of Duty. He later left that franchise and helped co-found Respawn in 2010 with fellow CoD developer Jason West. The studio’s first game was the critically acclaimed Xbox-only, EA-published Titanfall. It would later produce a sequel, a popular battle royale spin-off, and two highly successful Star Warsaction games, Jedi: Fallen Order and Jedi: Survivor. In 2017, Respawn was acquired by EA and became a key part of the publisher’s roster of studios. In 2021, Zampella was put in charge of Battlefield and helped the series reboundwith this year’s massively successful Battlefield 6, which is one of 2025’s biggest games. Meanwhile, the franchise he helped create, Call of Duty, continues to be one of the biggest game franchises in the world.

    This fucking Trump class ship will never get built.

    Yeah, the OSINT folks who focus on naval matters are saying there’s no facilities to really start building them unless they bump existing orders that are already paid for, authorized, scheduled, etc.  it would be a massive disruption for the shipbuilders.

    I love that a fucking draft dodger, whose family never bothered to serve, wants a class of ships named after himself.

    None of these guys got the G.I. Joe aircraft carrier for Christmas when they were kids so now they're just building their own sweet battleships.


    I didn’t have the USS Flagg, but my parents saved up to get me a Killer W.H.A.L.E.

    Is there anything more obsolete in modern warfare than a battleship?

    Yeah, the need for anything bigger than a DDG is highly questionable.  The Ticonderoga class CG, now obsolescent, was originally considered a DDG and is to be replaced by more Burkes.

    Cruiser-class replacements have been canceled twice.

    Fucking hell. Capital ships in a time of overwhelming numbers of inexpensive drones 

    Anybody within range of those large guns can probably send quite a few cheap aerial drones at that ship, not to mention the cheap sea drones that are coming online.

    That article is bad enough, but this is the ad that loaded in the story when I clicked into the Slate website.

    The world confuses me. <Load the Phil Hartman caveman gif.>

    When I walk up in one of these fine shirts (obviously a cat-based one although she knows that otter means business), she’s going to shed all of that.

    I had serious self-esteem issues as a teenager and even I managed to touch boob at 15 or 16. Goddamn what the fuck is happening?

    Bunch of people on the internet called incels have convinced each other that women don’t find them attractive.  Because women are evil and not because these incels are fucking losers that shouldn’t be sharing their bullshittery on the internet.

    Go watch the video I posted earlier in the thread. She explains it perfectly.  And tells these idiots to get a hobby and women will bang them.

    What a fucking clown. He’s going to be so sad when he comes in third in the 28 primary

    I wouldn’t count on that. Turning Point USA will get Mr. Erika Kirk into at least second, but probably first.

    They are not Green Berets, that is their head gear. They are the US Army Special Forces. 

    I know, I have friends in the Special Forces, and we have a neighbor who is in the National Guard Special Forces unit (although I think technically he is based out of San Antonio, but he works at Mabry).

    But a lot of people confuse special operations as a whole with Special Forces (thanks John Wayne and Barry Saddler).
