Dec. 26th, 2010 10:35 amSince coming up here, I managed to surprise my godson with my gun knowledge. Like when we were playing Left 4 Dead 2, I was referring to the weapons by their real names like the SCAR-L instead of the combat rifle, or the MSG-90 instead of the sniper rifle. Since it seems like all his gun knowledge comes from playing Modern Warfare, I was surprised he didn't know what a SCAR was. He did at least know the difference between an M-16 and and AK-47 and knew what a SPAS was.
I did have to correct him when we were watching District 9 though. He thought the MNU guys in the beginning were carrying TAR-21s, but I told him they were actually using CR-21s. He was all, how do you know? Well, besides the movie taking place in South Africa and the CR-21 being a South African weapon, it was just obvious from what it looked like. I mean, this is the TAR-21:
and this is the CR-21:
They look nothing like each other! The TAR is very angular, all straight lines and wot-not, whereas the CR-21 is curvy!
TV Commentary:
Doctor Who- I've said this before, but Amy Pond is easily the wicked mad cutest of the Doc's companions (at least in the new series). Especially in that police costume! Anyways, last night was the Christmas episode. Even though the time stuff in this made less sense than it usually does, I thought this was a perfectly nice Christmas episode. ( spoiler cut )
