Arokh Takakura

We join the Ordo often with a view that it follows the path of other militaries, or others join with no experience at all, like myself. My experiences were of amazement and wonder at the efficiency and materials offered to me for what I thought to be my own benefit. Schola, Armatura, ART, Rank-exams. An endless amount of educational materials to help us all become better soldiers, leaders, administrators, problem solvers. It took time, but there came a point when I realised that all of this is not for the benefit of myself, but all of us. The Ordo as a whole benefits from the care and nurturing of it's own enlisted. You, me and everyone. And that in turn benefits the SLMC with a healthy advesary. Did I learn anything? I learned not to look inwards, but out. "Why am I not an officer yet?" "Why do X and Y not like me?" became "What can I do to help the officers and the Ordo?" and "How can I improve my relationship with X and Y?" Focus not on the reward for completing a task, and certainly don't pursue something simply because it gains you rank or position. I learned that wasn't the right way. Focus on your goals, your passions in the Ordo, become the embodiment of what you want to see furthered in the Ordo and step up to the responsibilities that come with it. Leadership, accountability, respect. I also learned that now matter how dark your days are, the Ordo will never turn it's back on you, we all learn that one in time. I am passionate about shaping the future of our enlisted core, which is why I gave Curia my every last bit of initiative, passion and drive for the Ordo Imperialis. My fondest memory isn't getting O-1 or admittance to Curia Personnel. It's "It is with great pleasure that we are able to inform you that the application you recently submitted was deemed acceptable under review. Your specific experiences and overall conduct have proven adequate for admission into the Ordo Imperialis basic training regiment: Schola. Congratulations, and thank you for applying!" All our stories started there.

Automatic cars are almost unheard of in the uk, and the few that are about are owned by the elderly/disabled/special access. You learn on a stick, drive stick, everything is 'manual' over here, we don't call it 'stick'

Big shout out to everyone who showed up for the Defcon 1 drill tonight! Shame ARK never showed. >:[

Hey guys what's going on in this thread? :]

quack quack qwuackwuquack quackquackquack quack quack quack quack. quack quack qwak kwak kwak quak kuak kwak.

That viral clip and the other of him doing that nuts Gymkhana stuff pretty much inspired an entire third of Dirt 2 and 3's gameplay style and presentation.

Yeah Group B was the shit. Mad cars, mad races. Teams would just make cars that went batshit fast and send a driver out in it like "Lol gud luk." Kinda why it was banned, they were terribly dangerous. Don't see why we can't go back to that crazy stuff these days what with crash protection and racing safety improvements. Did my own little GymKhana run and filmed it:

Striking visuals, edge of seat motorsports such as Gymkhana, Rally, raid, landrush, RallyCross, etc. But the online multiplayer is where the fun begins, games such as 'infection' (Tag\british bulldog meets gymkhana), multi-car rally events, jam sessions at the battersea complex, etc. If anyone has/gets this, hit me up on steam or xbox live. SteamID: arokhzero P.S., if you have DiRT 2, that is fine too. :>

Wtf is this.

Glad to be of service! :]

Rofl, both games have been out for over a year, that's like complaining the end of ME3 was spoiled for you before you played it.

Reminds me of the ISG ishimura and dead space 1 and 2, where they find that 'ancient' monolith thing that Ffffs with people's heads. And later turns out to be man-made.

For my human counterpart it would have to be Alan rickman.

Yes. YES. YES

Red dwarf also had a godawful US pilot

I took part ;-;

Oh no, they're become aware of one another.

FEIN, ENJOY UR CANNED LAUGHTER :C

The I.T. Crowd. Same format. Badly executed. NEED I GO OOOOOOOOOOON?

Yeah Junkyard wars existed in the UK in the form of 'Scrapheap Challenge' p.much exactly the same show.

Brutal, metal-twisting chaos. ranging from 1-vs-1 to all out mob-battles of these half-tonne monsters.
