He has hurt in his butt over SC:

@melkathi: How are you finding the real-time aspect of the gameplay? Does it have a pause? And look at those kooky wall plugs! The crooked TV is giving me a facial tic.

I see, just like the 50 State Quarter Program.

Euro currency designs vary from country to country?

Drone of the Day: X-56A

Ah, I thought I had read somewhere that Obs included CNPC rerolls in one of the updates.

I haven't looked since Beta but aren't stat points manually assigned for the PC and joinable NPC's? Why "reroll" or use the console, except for the monster stats?

So, serious question. Why doesn't Greece just start pumping some of that black gold? They could turn the whole thing around in ~7 years, be running a surplus in 10. I mean, its a lot of money to repay and to rebuild infrastructure and whatnot, but its not that much. Were only talking 242B Euro, right?

Good luck. I tried the "redistributed wealth" angle but only 213374U was generous enough to make an offer. Obviously I was intended to be born into a wealthy family. Must have been switched at the hospital.

Reading this thread made me realize that Greece is sitting on a mother lode of resources, so maybe they need some Freedom? Or if Raithe's article from the other thread is correct: Maybe we can just trade Alabama for Greece, even swap?

Dammit! I recently purchased the Harman Kardon Onxy Bluetooth speaker: Only to find this beauty today: Ive never heard of OM Audio, so I don't know if its a quality speaker, but it looks cool as hell.

Im interested in these spicy margaritas. I assume you started with lime flavor? Then just add a few drops to each glass or you actually blended in peppers?

My wife and I went out on my neighbors boat yesterday. Launched at a local river, cruised up through a dam lock (which was a first for me), then pulled up to one of the local riverfront bars to get our eat and drink on. When we got back at night we blew off some rockets, and the biggest freaking roman candle Ive ever seen. It was about the diameter of a tennis ball can, was 3Ft long, and disgorged 200 shots of various effects. It was glorious. Well, I haven't been to a strip club in a hundred years but I remember there being booze. The strip clubs in Tennessee (Deja Vu) were byob and it was awesome. There was a conveniently located liquor store right next door so we would load up and get blotto in the club.

Nah, you really only have to worry about waking up in an ice bath with your kidneys missing.

I agree that the potential exists but I wonder how big of a problem it would really be. Drones are typically operated from half a world away, on a military base. And I don't think there is a "master system", instead "modules" control several drones each, right? So maybe they could hack a few at a time? I don't know, Im asking. So that leaves line-of-sight attack, jam the master signal and override with your own, and take control. I think this is what Iran did when they snagged one of our sweet drones. I was kind of surprised the drone didn't have some kind of failsafe built into the programming where if it sensed a loss of the master signal that it would just automatically gain altitude and fly over the horizon. Or something like that. Like what?

Drone of the Day: XFC

Manned fighters are so passé. I wish we would have poured that ~900B into a F/A drone but we're too far down the road to just drop the program now. Nothing can really compete with the F-15/16/18/22's anyway so the F-35 seems kind of unnecessary.

I was surprised by the size too.

Goddammit, due to user error (mine), apparently The Riftwar Saga is not available on Kindle. Since my Google-fu is failing me miserably, does anyone know where to buy a digital set?

I did not.
