what a waste of a life

What life?

You know, you joined almost 12 months before me (I hadn't noticed until now), and have just crossed 7000. Don't know if that means anything.

I guess youre right. I found this forum after buying UV. But I didnt post for most of those years.

That's why you're almost certainly a better player than me (and I say that having never played you at anything). I had the choice of posting 33,000+ times over the last 55 months or becoming a great WitP player. I chose the former.

T, do you speak and converse in English as well as you read and write in it? If so, you need to pop over for a visit!

Is that the only reason you can think of to invite him?

It's virgin again. One of the two hard drives died , so they had to replace both. It will be the better part of a month before I get everything loaded again. And this weekend I'm getting Windows 7.

Tell me about it. I installed Empire Total War on mine and it runs like molasses. I am thinking about getting a new one. Of course GFU wants some silly thing with a fruit on it.

I've decided I'm not getting Win 7 until I get my next computer, and then I'm really going to splurge. So, given my current status of unemployeditude, that's going to give me plenty of time to dream up some specs.

Is that the game that manages to be horribly imbalanced in favour of both the Japs and the Allies at the same time? I think I heard of it.

Sometimes I long for the days of blissful ignorance, unknowing of the horrors of game design. But alas, I've seen where the rabbit is hidden.

Yes, it apparently is the only game in the world that simultaneously favors opposing sides . I do not see how the Devs as a group avoid hunting some of the people in these forums down and doing away with them.

Don't even get me started on folks joining up in the latter part of 2008. I think I've got marmalade in the fridge older than that.

I agree. Everyone joining after 9-15-08 is suspect.

come up with some "war" stories

Some might eve be true

Pffft, all (three of) my true stories from the warzone are boring. True war stories are always less interesting than the time I parachuted behind enemy lines during the Fourth Australio-Tibet war and single handed wiped out the Bulgarian general staff before making good my escape in a miniature zepellin piloted by 30 chinamen and a small armadillo named Ralph. Obviously "Ralph" wasn't his real name as he was a part of the SAS.

I think I've seen that movie.....

I think Ralph used to live in my backyard when I lived in Florida....

He is currently living in mine................

All my (real) war stories involve hiding from Russians and Nimrods (yes, we hid from them too).

Not just from Nimrods, also from RAF maritime Reconnaissance aircraft too! (Warning! Pun alert!)

Thread Dammit, Steve! You just took my joke!

Welcome back. Hows the comp?

It's virgin again. One of the two hard drives died , so they had to replace both. It will be the better part of a month before I get everything loaded again. And this weekend I'm getting Windows 7.

I'm glad someone finally got the pun! BTW , they used to hide from us as well. But not all that successfully!
