On the morning of December 7, 1941 the Japanese navy launched an attack on the United States at Pearl Harbor hoping to cripple the mighty US Navy. Later, when the Emperor addressed his people he went to great lengths to emphasize the industrial might of the United States. He even mentioned a little city, Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, stating that if the Japanese industry could not out produce this steel town, then Japan could not hope to win the war.

Elsewhere in the country, the motor city was beginning to emerge as General Motors and Ford Motor Company became industry leaders. Around the country the ship yards were booming, a little tool company called Mesta Machine Works was

A friend of mine in the game industry forwarded this gem to me earlier in the week.

Here's an email somebody at Treyarch just got sent from a guy impersonating an IW employee haha.  It's the most horribly ill-conceived scheme ever.

And after asking some other treyarch employees we were shocked to find out that half of you guys do not know what game we are making so here is the poll.

As a PFC fresh out of AIT I had a long and easy summer.  In July 1979 I arrived at Ft. Hood, Texas about the time that my unit, the 142nd Signal BN of the 2nd Armored Division went off to train at the National Training Center (NTC).  As part of the rear detachment I would do very little work in the morning and have the afternoon off.  I had a lot of three and four day weekends too.

I've had very little sleep, my plane was delayed a whole bunch, and I got to fly for several hours near to a baby who had evidently just witnessed the rape and murder of Santa Claus judging from the amount of screaming. So instead of carefully reading all of the submissions for the Monday morning list update, I'm just going to select one at random, and post it without reading it whatsoever.

Skippy's Warning: This one goes far, even for me. While that warning sinks in, bear in mind that in the past year I have made light of lesbian koalas, forced clown cannibalism, and pterodactyl porn without flinching.
