Armed Assault is easily the best war siulation ever made period, its used to train the armys for iraq and so forth so you know its realistic.

And when the commander dies the second in command takes charge and so forth.

Me and my bro and some freinds play it online all the time and we love it.

I defo recommend it, i myself am dieing to get Arma 2 and OFP2 when they come out. :D

EDIT: Say hi to fatrap for me :D

Hi rockingmtranch Good see you back here, it seems you've got a very good Californian summer holiday there (do I sound like jealous? :) )

Fatrap has become the backbone of the the place he's working and trying to save the business; a different struggle to face than R&G series offer :)

I'll tell him all your best wishes for him.
And the beer is from me, drink as much as you all want. :partyman:

In Britain pubs have started serving cold beer as well, warm beer tradition is disappearing (that that I'm too sad :) ) :occasion5:

You know that's a novel idea :D -sticking the beer into the snow. (only the beer.. :D )

Yeah we got snow yesterday, just the flakes a bit, but it's very cold here, damn this northerly wind.

I'd support Arsenal tonight against Tottenham, but in general I tend to favour Chelsea. :)

Been away for a while, whats new?
I feel like talking about litrature, my favorite authors are the Strugatski brothers ( ''Roadside Picnic'', ''Billion years before the of the world''); Isac Asimov ( ''Foundation'' series and the ''Robot'' stories'' ) if anyone would pull of a proper movie version of the ''Foundation'' then he/she would be a genius; A.C.Clarke ( ''City And The Stars'' ); Jeremei Parnov(''Wake Famagusta'');Pierre Boulle(''Planet of The Apes'');Michael Crichton(''Andromeda'');M.Jemtsev, made a book ''Dirac Sea'' with Jeremei Parnov; H.G.Wells(The Invisible Man'');Clifford D.Simak(''Like a Flower On The Field'');Frank Herbert ''Dune'' series. Mostly scy-fi, some of the titles might be incorrect because I don't know the exact English titles

All is well here, DARK TEMPLAR, how's it going with you? :)
A fierce multi-player challenge is going on on some part of the forum, other parts Far Cry, Clear Sky notes/reviews, views. You have a long and very interesting reading waiting all around. :)

Authors? They are great authors Asimov and Crichton rocks (how much, depends on the reader and the critic) ; while H.G.Wells is almost a school of writing/thinking himself. :)

As you seem to like to read a lot, then I recommend you to read (if you haven't so) Russian writer, Nobel prize winner Michael Sholokhov's Silent Don. 4 volume masterpiece.

Having read many classics from Homer's Iliad and the Odyssey and to Notre Dame de Paris from Victor Hugo before I was 18, I mostly like to read thrillers. I like Hemingway, Steinbeck, Arthur Hailey, most recent ones: John Grisham, Richard North Patterson, a few names among others.

I also read the whole catalog of "Agatha Christie" and "Earl Stanley Gardner's Perry Mason series" which I can mention among some of my detective books reading portfolio. :)

Then, I also read a lot of real stories (news, etc) which actually portray -to the right pair of eyes- human drama very colourfully, most of the times much better than many glorified books. Real life...

Tolkien is alright, as is Christie but I prefer sci-fi and psychological stuff.
Sometimes I read something different, then I choose either Mika Walteri's ''Sinuhe'' , Aleksis Kivi's ''Seven Brothers'' or something from Estonian writers that is about our folk stories, the funny thing about them is that in a big part Estonias constantly rip off the the big red prick with hornes downstares, because he's so damn gulible. Yet some other times like to read some interesting stuff, kinda like ''Ancient Mysteries'' by Peter James and Nick Thorpe, I'm quite a paranoid person really, so everything similar to that is fun to read.

Oh and a big jug of something strong to drink, might have to stay in a hospital for a few days, whopdefcnkdoo
