Combat Pickup Truck


Author's Note: This combat pickup truck was inspired by the technicals that fought against the Libyan Army that invaded Chad. Its design draws inspiration from the 4X4 Pickup used by the Survivors faction in Krush Kill 'n' Destroy, the GLA Technical from Command and Conquer Generals and the Dervish from the original Death Rally from 1996.

Let's face it. Desperation in times of war was what gave us the technical, a nimble combat vehicle that became a popular choice for guerrillas across the globe. If the next World War were to occur, warring factions will definitely convert pickup trucks into combat vehicles.

Games that could have saved the Sega Saturn


The Sega Saturn is best known for being a commercial failure. However, its sales figures in Japan tells a far different story from the Western markets.

But what if there were games that could have saved the Sega Saturn? If such games existed, what could those games be, and what would they look like?

Knuckles Chaotix: The only Sonic game the 32X would ever have throughout its entire lifespan. It could have done better if it was on the Sega Saturn. It was also the Sonic game that saw the return of Mighty the Armadillo, who last appeared in SegaSonic the Hedgehog, a Japan-only arcade title. This game would have ended up a Sega Saturn title if the dismal 32X did not exist...

A Segata Sanshiro martial arts game: Segata Sanshiro. The patron saint of the Sega Saturn, and someone who would have probably been considered a worthy opponent to F-Zero's Captain Falcon. He was conceived as the advertising mascot for the Sega Saturn, and this helped the Sega Saturn overtake the Nintendo 64 in the Japanese market. The Sega Saturn would probably have done far better if Segata Sanshiro had his very own martial arts game similar to Chuck Norris Superkicks.

Zaxxon's Motherbase 2000: This 32X-exclusive title received mixed reviews, mostly negative after its initial release. It has never seen a re-release to this very day. Maybe Zaxxon's Motherbase 2000 would have done far better if the 32X did not exist and the game was released on the Sega Saturn instead...

With all that said, if the Sega Saturn had these three games, the Sega Saturn's story would probably have taken a far different course. On a side note, Happy 30th Anniversary, Sega Saturn!

No Respect for Neutrality


If there was anything that would definitely perish in World War 3, it's neutrality. Not only would Russia have zero respect for the neutrality of "neutral" countries, even God does not want his holy people to be neutral in a conflict between God and the Devil.

Ditching Windows For Linux


Windows 10 support ends on 14 October 2025. However, Microsoft would like to make people pay another $30 to extend support until October 2026. Unfortunately, this is only a temporary solution. Therefore, the real solution would have to be ditching Windows completely in favour of Linux. After all, Windows viruses do not work on Linux systems, so why don't you give Linux a try?

Hype Train Disappointment


Author's Note: The template from We Never Learn has been reused yet again. This time, to emphasize about the disappointing reality of the Wii U.

In defense of Nintendo, the Wii U was launched to great fanfare. It's just that the Wii U did worse than the GameCube in sales figures terms. To make matters worse, the Wii U, like the 3DS, was Region-Locked. This gives people who have a disdain for Nintendo yet another legitimate reason to continue with their dislike of Nintendo.

Dubious Autopsy Methods


If someone were to perish from a heart attack, and his/her corpse were to be sent for an autopsy, you wouldn't want to imagine what Kano would do to the corpse if he was the one doing the autopsy.

For those who grew up with the Mortal Kombat franchise, you would remember that one of Kano's Fatality moves involve ripping off his defeated opponent's heart. Maybe that's part of the reason why some countries banned some of the more recent games in the Mortal Kombat series.
