darksabre Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Another thing that is awesome: I received my email today to invite me to be a beta tester for World of Warplanes, and online massive multiplayer combat flight sim game. Now, I'm not a massive videogamer and make no claims to be, but World of Tanks is a fantastic (and FREE) game, so I almost died when they announced World of Warplanes alpha testing back during the winter. I used to play Microsoft Combat Flight Sim online for hours on end back in '98-2002 before a lot of players moved to the IL-2 Sturmovik series. I dug my old joystick out of my parents basement a while back in anticipation and now the day has come. I am super excited for a new online flight sim game and if the leaked alpha test video is any indicator, this should be a great piece of gaming fun.

Assquatch Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Peanut butter M&Ms also have a layer of chocolate. Reese's Pieces do not. (this is in reply to Chris in UT's post from 1 May.

SwampD Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 sorry ... didn't see this until just now. here ya go. Wow! That picture where they make almost perfect concentric circles is mindblowing. Were you lucky enough just be at the right spot or did you travel to see it (I kinda remember you saying something about driving to see it). Either way, it's amazing. The tree making abunch of pinhole cameras on the fence was really cool, too. Thanks. :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksabre Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Everything Quentin Tarantino does. Jamie Foxx, Leo Dicaprio, Franco Nero, Christoph Walz, Sam Jackson, Don Johnson, Tom Wopat and RZA? What a cast! Sooooo excited for this reboot of a classic spaghetti western character. Also, the irony of Tom Wopat in a movie that deals with issues of slavery and the rights of blacks in the US South could not be any funnier.

5th line wingnutt Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Saw Tom Wopat in the title role at the NC theatre's production of "The Music Man". He was surprisingly good with one glaring exception. He cannot dance. Even in scenes where his character is supposed to be one of the principal dancers he was hidden in the back. He can sing and act more than well enough for broadway musicals. I was disappointed that in the production he came to River City by train instead of using the General Lee.

frissonic Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 It's probably taken too long and cost too much money but it IS awesome. two words come to mind. the second is "yes!" the first rhymes with 'truck." my wife and i have already decided that we're going to NYC when these are done. we missed out on the twin towers. that won't happen again.

FogBat Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 indeed it does doesn't it glad the POTUS had the stones to support gay rights. wait until tomorrow that Crosschecking cat just may just blow a gasket with his far right rantings tomorrow in the complaint thread. Well, since you mention it, THIS IS FREAKIN' AWESOME!!! www.en.rian.ru/society/20120607/173899632.html Now, if only our duly elected politicians would actually have the balls to stand up to a possible 1% of the American population that wants uber-rights to throw their perverse deviancy in everyone's faces. As it is, I am a firm believer that the long-since dead citizens of Sodom and Gomorrah aggressively advocated "gay rights." Look at where it got them. #justsayin' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it is, I am a firm believer that the long-since dead citizens of Sodom and Gomorrah aggressively advocated "gay rights." Look at where it got them. #justsayin' I think you're mistaking the 1% (or whatever the real number is) of gay people with the fairly large portion of the population that support gay rights but aren't gay. For me it's more or less a belief system. We're in trouble if we start discriminating on belief systems (with the usual caveats about directly harming others, etc.).
