Preacher Posted October 26, 1999 Share Posted October 26, 1999 ...into a deranged band of silly people. The wait has finally taken its toll. Look at the top 5-6 topics, for instance. We have discussions of Dilbert, FPS-puking, y2k (relatively sensible), and a discussion of our parents/grandparents lack of color depth. SEE WHAT THIS WAIT IS DOING TO US!?!?!?! Ok. Deep breath... I feel better. Baby steps to the demo... :0 Preacher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PeterNZ Posted October 26, 1999 Share Posted October 26, 1999 the fact is we all know if we start talking about the demo and the game then we'll all just start pinning about it even more! so how about them mets? PeterNZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preacher Posted October 26, 1999 Author Share Posted October 26, 1999 Well, my watch is over for the night. Our friends across the pond(s) are waking up to take over the vigil. Be brave.

Rick Posted October 26, 1999 Share Posted October 26, 1999 It's true. All the good questions have been asked and answered already. Not to mention we're going crazy from the wait. I can't even immerse myself in TOAW like I could just a month ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fionn Posted October 26, 1999 Share Posted October 26, 1999 LOL Chris, Can they even do virgin sacrifices in America anymore? I mean, I heard you were running out over there... Isn't Jerry Springer a wonderful prism through which to view America LOL (Just kidding American buddies..) Europe is now awake. it's 7:10am here and I'm sure people are catching up on the board. On another note... I move that CoolColJ changes his "Countdown page" to a "Hours awaiting CM vigil" page. He can start it today and see what happens ------------------ ___________ Fionn Kelly Manager of Historical Research, The Gamers Net - Gaming for Gamers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guachi Posted October 26, 1999 Share Posted October 26, 1999 Just think, our (Americans) idea of Brits comes form Monty Python. Or whatever show ends up on PBS. And our vison of Australians is Crocodile Dundee. And Canadians it's, uh, beer drinkn' hockey fans, I guess. And Europeans are fans of 'weird' sports like soccer (strangely renamed football) and rugby (football with an oddly shaped ball) I admit, though, that considering the kind of media America produces, it must baffle foreigners that America can still fucntion as a country (and a mighty powerful one, no less) Jason Should I add more smileys or was it evident that I was being tongue in cheek.

SimonFox Posted October 26, 1999 Share Posted October 26, 1999 "And our vison of Australians is Crocodile Dundee" This is probably not too far off militarily speaking. Every time I read a Aussie WWII unit history there seems to be a very excessive use of the bayonet considering it was a supposedly mechanised war.

Hunter Posted October 26, 1999 Share Posted October 26, 1999 Yeah we still love those bayonets (Well we did until we replaced our lovely SLRs (FN FAL) with the Steyr Aug). I guess now that we will just have to shoot people (pretty hard to miss, actually!). I remember during night time defensive training that lovely feeling of getting the whispered order..."Fix..."

Herr Oberst Posted October 26, 1999 Share Posted October 26, 1999 Fionn, you gotta find a virgin in America first... Gauchi, I tend to use Benny Hill as my standard proxy for a Brit that I haven't met yet. "Well, what about these nice melons?" Aussies, well, they're all just criminals, aren't they? Man, I need that demo baaaaddd..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lokesa Posted October 26, 1999 Share Posted October 26, 1999 LOL I used to have this book about infamous Australian criminals when I was a kid. I thought it was just a stereotype so I rented Romper Stomper to check it's validity... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foobar Posted October 28, 1999 Share Posted October 28, 1999 QUOTE: "We have all degenerated...into a deranged band of silly people" Since I was apparently the one that sent Preacher into a tizzy, by sharing my knowledge of pre-atomic color defecits,I feel I ought to respond to this one. Let the record show that I have not degenerated, as I have always been a deranged, silly, person; making degeneration completely unnecessary. Furthermore I am a low-brow non-grognard, adrenaline junkie, halflife playing, blue-collar worker, who just likes to have fun exercising my brain at what limited capacity I have. Talking about smoke trails on panzerfausts for 50 pages is a little dull,(no offense anyone). So if there are any other others of my subhuman ilk, make yourself known! hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preacher Posted October 28, 1999 Author Share Posted October 28, 1999 Actually, I was referring to myself. But its good to know i'm not the only one who can admit it Preacher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
