No, my desktop wallpaper.

thanks… I looked but couldn’t find them

Um maybe try google translator.

I have a folder of period marches that I listen too that is spaced out for about the time it takes to make a move in turn order. There is nothing like doing the German moves while Panzerlied is blasting on the stereo.

As far as the options I voted for Classic Rock which could have easily been Hard Rock and much of the latter is now considered part of the former. To a person of my age Classic Rock means early Rock and Roll which I do listen to and not stuff from the '60s or '70s again which I listen to. My other choices were Bluegrass and Blues. I think I can honestly say I have heard very few groups from the last 2 decades that I thought were worth a flip and see no reason to listen to inferior (in my opinion) music merely because it is new.

Oh, okay. I assume de la Rey is from South Africa (considering the Afrikaans and General de la Rey, the Boer general).

Hey Sonic has 2 votes now!

Whhhooooooo… Look out now!  :-o

The resistance is coming.

Resistance is futile.

Not to diss on the band or anything… but they sound a bit over the top to me.

I mean, I love history and all, especially WWII, but this is a little more than I can bear. If that first link is anything like the rest of their music… they are just too obvious for me. Besides I don’t really go for the Metal stuff anyway.

This is how I learned

spoilers but by this point in the thread you should know that.  :-)

The big ‘question’ or ‘hook’ of the movie is how he learned how to implant an idea. But after I asked that question, I let it go to a degree. Now how he learned to do inception and what it cost to learn is the entire point of the scenes with his wife and her constant appearance. I connected those two together shortly before the big reveal but I was disappointed that ‘there is a connection and you’re missing it’ didn’t pester me more.

Nolan gave you everything you needed to make that connection or hit that inspiration before the reveal in the film similar to “The Prestige” where I was very aware I was not connecting up the dots. I was aware that the answer was right in front of me and I wasn’t seeing it while in “Inception” I wasn’t as much. spoiler for The Prestige When we see all the hats I started getting a little voice saying “Do you see it now?” And that voice kept crowing at me till we learn of the trap door in the big trick where I finally connected the dots.

“Inception” somehow missed in creating that which is likely more about my own thought processes and decisions of participation in the movie than any failure of the film. I think that the whole action part of the story with the mogul they were trying to get to break up his father’s companies was MacGuffin and the real story was about what it cost to learn inception. I think the action parts distracted me too much from trying to connect the dots between the guilt over DiCaprio’s wife and learning how to do inception. They hid it a little too much that the story is a quest for redemption.

This kind of nitpicking is typically a sign of a movie I really enjoyed.

@moralecheck:

You know what ruined that movie for me? I’ll tell ya…

When the main character first ran outside in his avatar and saw the other avatars playing basketball in street clothes. From that moment I could not get the image of the “all-star monstars” from Space Jam out of my mind.  :x

Haha… that’s pretty good.  :lol:

It adds some variety to the otherwise McFarlane dominated line up. I miss King of the Hill.

Depending on where you live you shouldn’t have too much trouble finding a comic book shop or card shop or dedicated game shop that would have a copy of something on the shelf. There isn’t really a national game store franchise. It is mostly just some guy with a store or maybe a regional concern with four or five shops.

My local shop usually gets one copy for anyone who’s a regular who asks and one for the shelf when a new version comes out. Typically though he doesn’t replace that till Christmas shopping season but will order one for you with a small deposit. The markup on these games isn’t very high so you probably aren’t going to go to one shop and find a copy of everything.

Toys R’ Us probably has copies of ‘42 and maybe a decent chance of Guadalcanal or a less decent chance of BOTB. I’d think it pretty slim to find a copy of Pacific or Europe at Toy R’ Us given the price point.

Try your yellow pages under hobby, or games, or comics. Also you might try something like www.comicshoplocator.com and give your closest shop a call. You might also try something like this Days of Wonder Store Locator. Someplace that sells games like that is likely to have a copy or two of Axis and Allies.

Something like this might help.

Anyone have anything to say about Mr. Weezo’s masterpiece? Search it on Youtube if you’re unfamiliar. You’ll be pleased with the results.

love it. Genius solution.
