  1. You guys are getting way too icky (italics mine). I blame it on the influence of SSNs.
  2. A thoughtful human being can seperate real life from a game. The fact that you bring this up at all indicates this. I started playing wargames as a kid, the foundations of new homes being built in our neighborhood served as the forts, bunkers and foxholes for our imaginations. I am 68 now, and the world has certainly changed, my son shudders at the thought that I might buy my grandson a toy gun. Toy guns are banned in some states because they look too real, youngsters have been shot by police in America because of toy guns. I have always been interested in history, my dad and I watched every episode of "Victory at Sea" He was a veteran of the Pacific Theater. He bought me my first wargame "Gettysburg" in 1960, in 1966 I was in Vietnam no games there, quite a turn of events, but here I am today still playing. There is no need for guilt, it is a pastime and a hobby, like collecting stamps or cooking. You can appreciate the folly of war, and realize where would the human race be today if we had spent less of our time and intellect coming up with new ways to kill each other.
  3. PanzerMike's grammar school photo; "God made the sea, but the Hollander made the land"
  4. It sure sounds like that could be a possibility. Only one way to be sure...run a test.
  5. It is a rather convoluted process, but get used to it because Moon said this will be the way to do patches until the new system is fully implemented. Just be careful, try to follow the instructions, and keep all of your activation keys in a handy safe place.
  6. Why is it asking to put in next disk halfway through installation?
  7. Could someone get Chris a new sweater for Christmas. That brown thing he wears all the time is getting old.
  8. Orson Welles causes a nationwide panic with his broadcast of "War of the Worlds"—a realistic radio dramatization of a Martian invasion of Earth.
  9. You actually have such high tech telephony gadgets out there on the left coast? No more flapping an old blanket over a smoky fire for you folks.
  10. I have not seen such a constant flow of drivel since the likes of stikkypixie and Sturmsebber graced us with their unique lack of posting quality. If this is what passes for serfdom these days, well I just cannot describe my disappointment. At least those two had an excuse, they were Belgians.
  11. Its a new tactical ploy, run to the rear edge of the map and hope time runs out before contact is made. You have used it yourdelf no doubt. Are you going to upgrade, slacker?
  12. My goodness.. is this entertaining or what? Its like watching a point of order argument at a Circus Geek Association annual meeting.
  13. That could be very dangerous considering the current state of the Ebola Breakout. Perhaps immediate incineration would be best, forget about trying to understand him.
  14. You should consider yourself damned lucky to have such fine examples to use as references, young lad. We would normally throw you to the hogs, but even they have delicate stomachs and would not enjoy gnawing on your lame ass. So for now we will just sit back and watch you and spurke attempt to insult each other.
  15. How about "flinging" a turn. No references to PMs this time.
  16. I hope you enjoyed your "Indigenous Peoples Day" holiday last week. I don't think that any self-respecting New Yorker would ever entertain moving to California, why would they move from a state with high taxes and government intereference to one with even higher taxes and more government interference? Come on, no one has been "born" in California in the last ten years. Most residents these days being born South of the Border, and then migrating to El Norte. Most real California Progressive Liberals have moved to Washington State, to create their own Neo Socialist Paradise.
  17. I guess the Russians would call it "getting even" after what the Germans did in the areas of the Soviet Union that they occupied from 1941-1944. No need for links or youtube videos, its documented. Neither side behaved like Boy Scouts.
  18. His first post, and where does he make it? A lesson to be had for all Outreboarders and Newbies, jump right in, the water is fine...we love it when SSNs show their faces. Its what makes our day, what floats our boat, and all of the other overused cliches that you usually hear of cable news programs. If you will.
