What am I supposed to do with trade ships, leave them in the ports they were constructed in, leave them on top of a green line indication a trade route, Sailing them to neutral trade ports only get's me the option of going to war. Far as I have been able to tell sailing them onto the trade route does not increase the route's revenue, but neither does increasing the number of trade ships docked at a trade port

Is that 'the road to independence'

I dunno, I kinda wish there were less ships in the average naval engagement. It all gets out of the players hands pretty fast. So far it's pretty confusing, don't like the land combat particularly much. Why can't I have all of my unit volley at the same time to stop a cavalry charge dead in it's tracks, or follow the volley with a charge of my own. More formations and units are researchable, but it seems like an unreasonably long wait with boring line infantry. Cannons aren't much use, not even massing 6 of them made much of an impression. Maybe they get better.

'Connecting to steam account 'suckmywetfarts'...' hmm... maybe I was a bit hasty.

There is an XP version for students that is freeware now I believe, it ain't even illegal.

Regardless, it looks like it's doing it, at x1 speed. Installer still active, about 20% to go now.

I also noticed my drive doesn't make the usual noise, maybe it's dying. Failed a few burns too recently.

It's installing,, at one 1 kb/sec. Is this normal, it's been nearly an hour and it's still on disk one.

So I got the game at a reasonable price from a games shop, and I realize there is a deluxe version with more units. Bunch of rip off artists. There is bound to be a hack to include those units sooner or later, too bad I won't get to use em anytime soon. Won't have time to play until the weekend, unless I give in to temptation sometime tonight.

I imagine this is the same kinda deal, more a test of manhood than a deliberate provocation from the government, who likes to spin nationalist and anti American rhetoric, but doesn't like it when things get out of control.

One of my dad's friends was arrested, kinda last minute, for shooting at the USS Reagan with a BB gun. Apparently they were arguing whether or not to return fire when the harbor police showed up. True story. He got laid a lot that year for his efforts.

Evil dead 1 and 2 (essentially exactly the same movies) are hilarious, army of Darkness is merely ok. And don't forget Brisco County Jr. Hercules and Zena slipped past my radar because, well, I'm not 13 years old.

You have been de-clawed, at your own request. Now guess how much appealing to common sense is going to net you compared to mod buttons.

Joysticks are much more enjoyable than gamepads, maybe that's just me. I think the thumb controlled thingies lack the proper resistance and feedback to hit the same spot every time. They also tire out your thumbs in a way a joystick doesn't. Pads are better than a keyboard for games that don't involve aiming though.

Anyway rule of thumb, to be a tranny you have to be able to pull it off on several levels. Approximately 1% can actually do this, the rest look like circus freaks.

I dunno, I find that more sinister than funny. Did the van clip the tranny by accident...

Monty Python's the meaning of life. It's the only film in existence with musical acts I can stand watching, also the best Python movie bar none.

I kinda liked that the Soprano's ended with a whisper rather than a bang. The Gallactica ending can't help but be hindered by all these uninteresting story threads that have to be accounted for. I kinda hope they don't try to explain everything.

Messy crappy episode.

Shouldn't it be 'hermaphrodites' to be a true spam topic.

Yeah old school hip hop is a bit of an acquired taste. Great clip with Bird and Dizzy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxBvUqLs_eU...feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxTFdkdkAtw There I go again.

I should stop now. I could do this for hours. lols.

I forgot how good this is. Sound quality is abysmal, and it's just some fan video, but that's to be expected. Woot, from the glory days of MTV. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTea5duGTbs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqYibS3m7UM

I just now discovered something of indeterminable origin with mold on it in the back of the fridge.
