Los Posted September 14, 1999 Share Posted September 14, 1999 My Favorite SPR Quote: "Yo don't touch me wit those little ****in' rat claws." Los BTW Fred re: SST you must check out the new CGI animated series Ropughnecks the Starship troopers chronicals. A good mix of movie (Different bug classes a skinnies too!) and the book (POWER ARMOR! need I say more?) ABsolutley incredible graphics, excellent writing and storylines and acting. And the guys that developed eth series have a wargamers attention to detail. In my market (CT) it's on at 0800 on WB (M-F). Others have seen it on SCi Fi in the mornings. It's a well kept secret...

Marko Posted September 14, 1999 Share Posted September 14, 1999 Any Blackadder fans here? Lt George (look forward to flying): Crikey! I'm looking forward to today. Up-diddly-up, down-diddly-down, whoops-poop, twiddly-dee, a decent scrap with the fiendish Red Baron, a bit of a jolly old crash landing behind enemy lines, capture, torture, escape, and then back home in time for tea and medals!
