There was no way for me to know what that rectangular-shaped thingy was under all that gift wrapping.
But come Christmas morning (or Christmas afternoon, since I stayed up all night playing Mercenaries 2), I found out. Holy crap, and I was only planning on getting a Makarov PM! Mo - ther - #@!&er!!! If there's any downside to this, it's that it is only semi-automatic. For those of you living here in the States, it means it's illegal to have automatic-anything like this lying around the house. Or anywhere for that matter. But still, even with semi-auto, it's still going to rip someone a whole new arse.
.....Dang. Thanks, Dad!
I know, I know. Haven't updated in nearly a month, but that's the territory included with laziness. The plant shut down for the holidays and we all get nine days off. I'm extremely glad I got hired on permanently out of my temp agency, because they're having all the temps come in for special projects. During this time off, dad and I are going to Chicago to visit his mom/my grandma and perhaps some other relatives. Meanwhile, I'll also be getting an LCD television to replace that dinky little 14" JVC I've had since I was 17. I'm tiring of playing Merc 2 through a fricken tiny screen. I *could* simply buy one before going, but I want other things to do while I'm there. Heck, maybe even visit the Willis Tower while I'm at it.
MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE!
