Hey, I'm a Bomber!

Found this article and thought it’s interesting?

Much of it seems right on track but some it seems doubtful.  Japanese isn’t Hawai’i’s?  Vietnamese for Texas?  Maybe it’s right, it’s just not what I would have expected.

@aequitas:

What is Tagalog of kind of language?

A language found primarily in the Philipines.

I never posted my reaction to the book on this thread?

I read it soon after I got it, and I thought pretty much the exact same as Garg.  It was a great book, and I read it cover to cover within a couple of days.

I am trying to read his second, and like Garg, had trouble getting past the first page or two the first attempt, but I know when I sit down to read it again, it will be awesome.  You just gotta get past the first page or two I guess.

@Canuck12:

As offensive as the costume may be, it’s actually pretty clever. And well done…

Offensive LOL?  Really? ;)

I hope every would-be suicide bomber, or family member of one of these clowns is deeply offended.  Better file a human rights complaint!

lol

Yes, really. So happens. We can communicate on this theme.

It is pretty big. I really don’t think I need the whole TB but it was on sale and I had $25 bucks in rewards certs from Best Buy so it was pretty cheap compared to even the other 1TB drives and per gig cheaper than the 500GB drives.

I’m still kind of having trouble wrapping my head around it really. I remember my Dad bringing home those giant serving platter sized ‘floppies’ that were something like 16KB.

I’m still a little freaked by my 30GB iPod with video.

Welcome back!

Good to see you posting again.

I saw Gibson’s gillipoli and it reeked. oh god it was bad…

regarding Risk 2110, I have played it and it is a lot of fun. Not nearly so involved as the AA games, but it is fast paced and wildly unpredictable. The main problem of the original Risk - players amassing enormous armies til it was foolhardy for anyone to attack anyone else - has been eliminated with the introduction of the command cards and “energy chips” (money). We got a four player game together, and there was just no way to tell who was “winning” because those damn cards can swing the balance of power in an instant. There’s also only 5 rounds to a game, so a player has to think ahead and yet not bide his time TOO long. Only played twice, but I’d say it’s worth the purchase price.
