Always kind of liked this one out of the Close Combat -series. Good game too for it's time.

"Giant prehistoric caiman had extra hip bone to carry its weight A prehistoric caiman, which weighed up to three tonnes, had an extra hip bone and upright shoulders to help it carry its weight on land, scientists say. Purussaurus mirandai could grow up to 10m (32ft) in length and lived in the...

"Betrayal at Krondor". Some of those old school game names, I still remember them. "Riftwar", I remember that too.

I kind of have to like the game too, not sure if I can appreciate just the cover art if the game itself sucks, it can be like that. But on the more minimalist style, I like the first Mafia-game's cover. And, although kinda cheesy, I liked the old school C64 Barbarian 2 cover. :)

Don't really follow the WWE. In pro-boxing, Mike Tyson probably had the best entrance music, scariest.

Canberra burning up now.

I like maps, if it's a historical book with a map of the locations it's like a great bonus. Or sometimes even a fantasy or sci-fi book with a map is somehow better.

Some hate present? Understatement of the year. :? There's plenty of material online to show the extent of the hatred Germans and their allied had against Jewish folks. There's footage of little German kids kicking old Jews to death. I'd say there was pretty deep hatred there.

Speaking of nukes, did you know that Harry S. Truman used to belong to the KKK (Ku Klux Klan)? Like as an official member? The klan had over 4 million members in USA in the 1920's. Maybe one reason we need socialism/communism is to get rid of racism. Hass, well the Cold War could have flared...

There are countries with nukes like India and Pakistan which are much more in a state of conflict than US and Russia at this moment at least. Just because countries have nukes doesn't keep them from fighting conventional, I'd say it's the opposite. The nukes are just the 'crown' of the weapons...

Americans have never directly fought against the Russians/Soviets, proxy wars don't count. If they wanted they could fight a nice little conventional war in Alaska or Kamchatka or in that region. But they don't want to fight each other, they'd much rather pester the rest of the world together.

I'd say I'm more in the "lower left corner" of the political compass -thing than you but whatever. I crown you the lefty-king of NMA. It was still the Soviet troops who liberated Auschwitz, if you want to make Russia a better nation than go there and improve it then. Your Slavic heritage...

A lot of Jewish people in high offices in the Soviet system, not really so much in Nazi Germany. SU was a rough country to live, Hitler only attacked it to make it nicer and to put unicorns and rainbows everywhere, right Hass? Soviet Union did oppose the apartheid regime of South Africa for...

Because real communists aren't racists and some people claiming to be leftists/socialists/communists do things like use the n-word. I sometimes read Der Spiegel, here's a good reminder about the evils of racism and also about how, yes, it was the Soviets who liberated Auschwitz...

Kobe Bryant has died in a helicopter accident. Holy fexxors. Is this real? TMZ claims it. https://nypost.com/2020/01/26/kobe-bryant-reportedly-killed-in-california-helicopter-crash/ Edit. Everyone is saying it. R.i.p. He was a great player. Maybe there aren't any basketball fans here. Anyone...

Shooting in Germany, at least six dead. South of Germany. https://www.focus.de/panorama/welt/schuetze-gefasst-schuesse-in-rot-am-see-6-tote_id_11589440.html

If I buy German or central or southern European boots or shoes, the soles just tend to be slippery in our winter. So I kind of don't buy them anymore. You can use attachable spike-thingies at the bottom of your shoes in winter to give traction but I don't use those.
