That's a wonderdul blog, Crashbot. I am gonna add it to the embedded blogs on the site.

Either this is just truck moving Koalition turret, or this is testvehicle/prototype of our new wheeled SPG.

 

 
Note that on the photo clamps (?) are visible.

Here is my review of the Russell Military Museum.  This took a lot longer to write than you would think.  Lots of pictures.  I am in love with this place.  Next summer they are planning to crush a car with a Sherman tank, I will be making the four hour drive to go see this.  I might even try to bribe them to give me a ride on their Sherman.  
 
Review: Russell Military Museum 
Going through the pictures I took, I realized that not only do they have a bunch of M113 APCs, they have what is either a T113 or T117 (its really hard to tell them apart), the prototype vehicles that preceded the M113.  How the fudge does this guy get his hands on this stuff?
 

 
Also, who wouldn't want to own one of these for Sunday drives around the neighborhood?
 

Ah, the M577. Like to see what it looked like on the inside. 

Surf and Turf for dinner gentleman. The sockeye was caught today, 6-8 hours ago, filleted and is now sizzling in the pan. The steak is a sirloin, grass fed and traded with our friends for last year's catch.

Saturday's dinner before going to a baseball game:

Look what I found on my hard drive:

I'm glad that we now know there was a bloke called "Tertius the Brewer" who lived in London 2,000 years ago.

Which brand video card? It really depends on that because that decides whether you're getting gsync or freesync.
 
I'm currently running an Asus XR341CK I got refurbed for $600, which is a great deal. Ultrawide's on the table for Freesync in a way that it isn't for gsync which only has the Acer X34 and the Asus PG348Q. The price difference between them and what I've got is literally the price difference of a high end card, so I'm getting a high end card next time AMD releases some (I really want that Fury X cooler on a good card). There's also some screens like the LG 34UM88-B. Ultrawides are crazy sweet in my opinion but they do come with tradeoffs.
 
Gsync seems to have all its best screens in the 1440p 144+ Hz range like Matt's screen. The Acer XB271HU is really nice, Asus has the PG279Q, if you want to go a bit cheaper there's the Dell S2716DG which is a really nice screen but is TN rather than IPS and thus not the same level of pretty. The Freesync screens are a bit less heavy on the price tag but do come with some limits (IE don't generally have a freesync range up to 144 Hz).
 
Main thing is that you're looking for high framerate, IPS and resolution at a reasonable price, and in Freesync land you're looking for a maximum framerate on the range that's 2.5 times that of the bottom if possible. That lets you drop below the minimum without nasty effects.

Personally I like a good wood plank fence, but chainlink will do in a pinch!

The rules were a bit more nuanced than "only a knight can carry a sword". It depended on the period, the person, the location, and current "person on the throne". 

Well that is a nice looking monitor. Anyone else have any favorite?  Once I figure out a way to make my current one "not work anymore", I can run getting a new one past the Mistress of Finance. 

I'm having fun with Battlefleet Gothic: Armada, but I'm a tabletop BFG/40k fan, so no surprise there.

The Krauts wished they had the ability to make M3 Lees...

It's Anima, just be happy the tank is not also a Japanese schoolgirl.

For another alternative, you could just build the system I did, probably a little cheaper now, since I haven't run into anything that's challenged it, other than loads of dust and cat hair, and its about a year and a half old.
