IT'S CALLED A MAGAZINE - why? Because it uses a spring

CLIPS ARE GRAVITY FEEDERS THAT LOAD IN FROM THE TOP<<


Gravity feeders ammo cartridges are called "clips"

If it loads from the bottom


it's called a magazine.

/nerdrage

Actually it's more like this:



A clip is a device that is used to hold ammunition together in one place for easier retrieval and loading. Although there are different types of clips. For a stripper clip (As pictured) you have to load the ammo into the magazine of the gun by sliding it off the stripper clip. whereas for a en-bloc (M1 garand) clip you insert the whole clip into the magazine, and for replacement it is ejected.

A magazine is the portion of a fire arm that hold the ammunition for loading, And is sometimes replaceable instead of requiring manual loading though the chamber (or a similar slot)


Nerd-speal complete.

ALSO! i keep getting random .txts on my desktop, holding what looks like error reports. here.

Is the Minecraft executable saved to your desktop? Because every time Minecraft crashes it dumps a .txt file with the crash report.

I've been meaning to watch all of them but there are just so many. It seems like an awesome series though.

If you don't have the time to watch them all I'd advise starting with the 2005 series, There are very little references to the past series so you shouldn't really be too lost.

Cannot tell if serious or not.

Leaning towards non-serious.

Edit:

Definitely non-serious.

then blizzard made some tyranids and they came out half as good

Actually IIRC Starcraft was going to be a WH40K RTS until Blizzard lost the license. But they decided to go ahead and continue working on the project and thus created Starcraft.

That's why Starcraft's races are a lot like WH40K's

Also, community is still pretty active. Take that, CS:S.

How does the CS:S community not count as active when there are nearly 3000 player filled servers up?

My brilliant economy saving program goes as follows:

A large amount of countries pitch in and buy a huge chunk of land (Greenland, A large chunk of Russia, Something like that) then invite all the other countries for a ten year long massive paintball match and before shifting to mass production of paintball gear for their "troops" and duking it out.

No flaws whatsoever.
