Mention ”The Challenge” (a.k.a ”Babel”, a.k.a ”Stairs”) from #BattlefieldV enough times to Battlefield veterans and they will reinstall the game just to have another go and prove themselves in the longest and most skill demand bonus feature / Easter egg in gaming ever. And I love it.

Once you see the brake light reflections from a Ford Mustang...

...you cannot unsee it.

Rewatching GoT with my daughter (who's previously only seen the first seasons). I must say I appreciate Tyrion Lannister much more this time around. He is without doubt my favorite. A verdict shared with my daughter.

I guess good job and well played, Peter Dinklage.

Saw this one in an outdoor exhibition showing amazing Google Earth / satellite photos.

I must say Valparaiso looks a bit more developed than in Bad Company 2. 😳 Or were we just north above the satellite image? Yeah, that have been it.

Funny that the beach for Discarded in 2042 was also on display.

Whoever is keeping the list of name variations for Noshahr Canals should make sure IGN's "Norshar Canals" is included. 🤣

To be fair, it's no easy. Totally forgivable. Most misspelled name in gaming history? Prove me wrong.

When you missed the note about only wearing white to the party.

Left white giving me the most judging look and I'm too shy to look back.

I still remember when a friend of mine bought a 42Mb hard drive for his Amiga 500. I was so jealous! $500 I think he paid.

The old classic, made current.

Speaking of those wooden tracks - Saw really cool adapter pieces from Lego Duplo to Brio train tracks. Would have been awesome back in the says when kids had both but was not mergeable.

Quick google says that they changed their cards. Also, that one seem to not be a "dock" for the smaller SD cards which I also want.

Don’t see how that would mount on top of a camera.

With everyone giving three answers each and no one picking any that someone else is a clear statement that there are plenty to choose from AND everyone has their own favorites. That's the beauty of variety and ability to chose - that we all cherish different things.

BF3 - Damavand Peak - Cliff HQ - Potentially the most impressive HQ in any BF. Happy we added that jump which wasn't initially intended in the mining industry themed map. That jump is to this day my personal trailer moment ever. Can still remember screening the trailer with the team. All the cheers.

BF:BC2 - Isla Inocentes - Last Rush sector - Noticed too late that a window mounted machine gun was not hooked up to wall destruction causing it to float in air after its window was blown up. Was fixed in first patch but not being able to fix it before ship still haunt me soon 15 years later.

BF2 - Kubra Dam - Upper dam flag - The map was put in the shade by Strike at Karkand, Mashtuur City and Gulf Of Oman. Struggled to get players attention but still had its fans, specially those who like vertical gameplay. We took a team selfie standing on top of the dam, I wonder where that jpg is?
