Combine invade Georgia
RivaOni | 5:01 AM on 11.09.2007 6 comments


No, not the US State, I mean the country in Eastern Europe which shares its borders with Turkey, Armenia and Russia.

Anyhow, those cretins, the Combine from Half Life 2 seem to have invaded the country



In all seriousness though, this isn't actually true (no shit sherlock!). Basically, the President of Georgia has declared a State of Emergency, and this is how the armed forces and Police are dressed. The above is a photoshop.

I'm not gonna go into the politics of all of this, because I really don't pay attention to that kind of stuff really. But its uncanny how much their uniforms resemble those of the combine soldiers, albeit these guys are wearing white masks.

Anyhow, if your interested in this subject, heres the BBC report.

I think I've been playing video games far too long, it took me an age to figure out what aspect of the picture was photoshop'd.

 about me



So who am I? Well, some call me RivaOni, some call me Duane, depends how you know me. I'm a early 23 year old male from the United Kingdom, currently residing in boring Bedford. I own numerous systems, and a filing cabinet full of games for them. I also run a website called "bitparade" to which you can find a link to below.

I'm the father of a 3 year old little girl, so have to balance my gaming around her, i.e. no violent games until she goes to bed unless shes out for the day.
