Yes, well the physical world imposes certain constraints...like I was sitting there with Stalker Girl who didn't think it was nearly as funny as I did.

Even funnier, SG's 25 year old son was already in the pool. He wisely got out pretty quick.

Let me guess PG is 24 years older than SG's son and would have ridden him like a bronco. Don't you just love when threads merge?

1) Japans-mens have crappy engineers. They are company-sized, mainly, have crappy Daihatsu bulldozers (if they are lucky) and must be short on adult diapers or something because they can't build ****.
(Note: This could also be a DBB effect)

2) They aren't even close to enough Mavissesses

3) They have crappy naval rearmament abilities.

4) Zeroes work rearry good.

Are you running in full-screen mode or windowed mode?

I do mine a little differently, and it works out to be REALLY convenient. I use windowed mode, and I played with the size settings until I got it just right that the Windows menu bar is exposed below the game window. When I want to switch back and forth between programs, all I have to is click on the one I want. If I actually want to minimize the one I am currently in, all I have to do is click on that one and it minimizes.

Here are the shortcut switches that I use. The first set is for a Windows 7 desktop, the second is for a Windows 8/8.1 laptop.

-altFont -cpu4 -dd_sw -archive -wd -pxf1920 -pyf1018 -noFire


-altFont -archive -wd -deepColor -px1366 -py768 -fixedArt -noFire

Obviously you only care about the window size ones for this discussion.

Here is a screen pic of the lower left hand corner of my screen to show what I mean. I just give up a little real estate from the game window to keep the Windows menu bar (or whatever the heck they call it) showing. Way, way, way faster and more convenient than using Alt-Tab.

In the next post I'll show a pic of another shortcut setting that is part of this.

Status: offline 		Notice that the shortcut has an option set to "Maximize" for how the window first starts up (the "Run" option). That just saves you from clicking on it to maximize it every time you start it. To get to that, look at your shortcut and Right-click on it, then select 'properties'.

Status: offline 		I should add that you will have to play with the window size settings to get them exactly wight for your screen and your resolution settings. You can do some math on how many pixels the screen has to get close, but just a few iterations of starting up the game with various settings will be required to zero in on it.

Ship-ah it to home islands or at least to Hong Kong, where it will begin its magical overland movement to Port Arthur. Refineries there can convert it to fuer (+ suppry).

Dunno.

Not-ah that I know of.

Scots have pipes for assaurting beaches. American mens have "Fright of the Varkyrie" for hericoptah assaurt. You-ah serioursy want-ah assaurt force storming across beaches of Pago Pago singing "You right up-ah my rife?"

It-ah bad for Japans mens morale. Rike ah not posting pictures of drunken neighbor in poor. Bad joss.

(Editor's note re: Japan-speak: In this case the use of the letter "l" in the word couldn't is allowed because it is silent, and therefore the Japanese can pronounce it.)

My understanding is that in stock AE Japan only has a couple of mobile CD units, so they may be hard to find or may not have arrived yet. Or maybe DBB has removed them...

Actuarry, Kung Fu originate China. Possibry use resser known Japans mens version "Kendo fighting" or "Judo jousting", but not-ah so catchy tunes. Japans mens curturar [eesh!] officah no rikey positive references to anything Chinese.

Status: offline 		For consideration in the clearly soon to be detailed thread contest to 'choose the fight song' I submit Blue Oyster Cult's, "Godzilla"; might be just the thing for the troops swarming ashore to spread chaos (although the back story of origination might need some editing for morale purposes).

Please be careful, very careful with procurement, as the Brian Setzer Orchestra is releasing an instrumental version on their 'metal' album and I can't imagine the negative assault modifier associated with obtaining the wrong track.

Status: offline 		How about "Crusin'(Lucy and Ramona and Sunset Sam)". Any early war Allied resistance would have to crumble in the face of only a couple of barge loads of your troops enthusiastically singing that on the run in, even without the threat of a Hulk Hogan look alike in the video. (Plus Sunset Sam has the sound of a top level sales producer from M & M...)

Bonus info -
Cruisin', aka Lucy and Ramona and Sunset Sam, is the last single to date released by Michael Nesmith (yes that Michael Nesmith) as a solo artist. The song was released in 1979 under Pacific Arts (PAC 108) from the album Infinite Rider on the Big Dogma.

Bonus Bonus
Infinite Rider on the Big Dogma has to be in contention for your next AAR title...
