Some are actually used as didactic tools for kids with mental issues. ... But then you have postal 2... So... _________________________ "Himmiherrgottksakramentzefixhallelujah!"

I was playing the mission where you have to infiltrate the Golden Glow Estate and do multiple things. When I was out burning beehives and fighting I just eventually ran away to view my success from a distance. I first noticed it when I squated down on a tree trunk. Coot..the squatter../simHQ/2011

Which is why I am a Charles Barkley fan. He always said he isn't a role model and if you are looking for one, look at your parents. I think he got a turrible rep...just turrible.

First, Rogue Warrior and Operation Flashpoint: Red River were every bit as awful as the Grateful Dead. Second, I fail to see the difference between a kid with his ass glued to the sofa playing Call of Duty and one with his ass glued to the sofa watching ESPN. Both would make the same noise of Velcro being ripped apart if you tried to free them from their perch. Get off your ass and help me with the yard, kid. And third (and perhaps the most important and thank God someone's already made this point early), why would I give a flying rip what Jillette thinks about child-rearing? Especially MY child. _________________________ If you can't get everyone to get on board with you, scaring the living hell out of everybody is the next best way to get attention and feel needed. www.sixmanfootball.com

Master meh Hotshot Registered: 07/12/04 Posts: 7274 Loc: NW Alabama, USA	Originally Posted By: Paul Rix I used to be pretty much addicted to playing Warbirds online back in the late 90's/early 2000's . To me it was a great entertainment, I made friends with a common interest and I learned a lot about WW2 History. It did eat up a lot of free time that could have been focused elsewhere, and it is fair to say that my family didn't think it was a good thing at the time. The irony is though that almost 10 years later I was hired by someone I 'met' playing Warbirds. So it wasn't such a bad thing after all . Most of those people are real wanks and they are only getting worse with agw You should stop by and say hi. There were several people wondering what you were up to just the other month. _________________________ *sigh* http://agw.bombs-away.net RoF: =AGW= Master Blood, Guts and Oil, My youtube channel

Psycho Member Registered: 10/11/99 Posts: 1573 Loc: NY, USA	Originally Posted By: Biggles07 Heresy! He's trolling hard on the Grateful Dead. Anybody who knows anything, knows that the Grateful Dead are one of the greatest bands of all time. Not open to discussion. Fact. I won't try to argue with you on that point as long as you don't argue with my point that Jerry Garcia had to be one of the most overrated guitarists ever.

peppergomez Veteran Registered: 05/21/02 Posts: 14227	Although I don't care for the grateful dead very much, he lost my respect with the statement that they are "provably #%&*$# music.". That is the kind of dismissive arrogance that he is critizing immediately beforehand.
