Jack Churchill also got nearly all his command killed in the assault on Point 622. What a guy, yeah... For lifelong badassery with swords Miyamoto Musashi gets my vote - supposedly winning at least 60 one on one duels with other samurai. Not to mention surviving major battles. On the...

These were real heroes: [spoiler:6b37da3e50][/spoiler:6b37da3e50] A few medals don't really make up for it.

Gimp is a good tool but you heard right - not the friendliest interface. I use it in combination with Image Analyzer which is friendlier but has less features (some that Gimp lacks though). You can get it here - also free: http://meesoft.logicnet.dk/

I don't know much about Krav Maga. Looks as though it is an effective style from YouTube vids - some fast combinations to keep an opponent off balance, mixing blows with locks etc. Not pretty but effective as long as you're not pulling your punches (half-hearted never works IMO). Have you...

Do you know if there are other drugs involved? The 'bugging' for example sounds very like amphetamine paranoia - I've known speed buddies who shared delusions. Acid buddies too.

St: 6 - good leverage due to long limbs, but not big on muscle mass. Done plenty of physical work despite trying to avoid just that. Pe: 5 - short sighted and partially deaf. Balanced by being a picky bastard with generally good spatial awareness. Go figure... En: 5 - I tire easier...

Shame he hadn't learned Tsien Ying Kung (retracting the testicles). :) But seriously if some bastard gets the drop on you and gets a disabling blow in then you're probably fucked however much training or rl experience you've had with any combat system. Shit man, I'd move away from Ohio if I...

The next two X-Com games were also good if you liked the first one. Terror From the Deep was pretty much the same setup but with some very hard scenarios. X-Com Apocalypse made a lot of changes but still some fun challenges. I never got going with Planescape either but the first two...
