It's kinda funny, actually. Was playing some map I can't remember on MAG, and trying to get to my lookout position, when this guy runs out from a corner literally two feet in front of me. I'm...not sure exactly what happened, but I think I just wildly tapped the fire button when I was switching to my handgun.

GPS?

Nice. XD

GPS is fun. I don't have one, but how can tapping into satellites not be fun?

Because you can be tracked at will.


Ever hear of a movie called Heavy Metal?

I'm sure there's a way to disable, or block the tracking while keeping the location unit...probably.

And also: mandatory GPS is beyond annoying.

I have...but it's a very faint recollection.

It's epic. Definitely don't recommend it, knowing your tolerances. But it involves bandits with laser crossbow repeaters and pikes raiding a village to Black Sabbath's Mob Rules.


History?

Och...that's...crazy.

History...one of my favorite subjects in high school. In fact, it's the only school related subject I remember studying for fun after I graduated.

Had trouble remembering exact dates, but the stories and people...I loved.

Eh...history is written by the victors...but truth can be found even amongst the rose colored pages.

Besides the fact my favorite book on the subject was written by a crotchety old German professor.

Under the Pseudonym C.W. Ceram.

And yes...I do no technically, he wasn't a professor. :D

Yep. :mrgreen:

Still a good book on history.

I should probably mention at the moment it was ancient, not modern, history. XD

Feel free to snatch that up btw. I've got no dibs on it.

Why do you show me stuff like that when I have no money?

That's...so awesome. XD

Just remember Heinrich Schliemann though. >_>
