    Photo Of The Day – A lot of people have their own TV game racing simulators at home, so why can’t I have a .50 Caliber machine gun simulator? I mean, I want one really badly now that I’ve seen they exist.

    If I can’t have the 50 Cal, I could settle for the M249 Squad Automatic Weapon simulator instead.
