Attic Attack on a Sinclair ZX Spectrum (game loaded via cassette recorder..). That was back in the days when an external 48k RAM pack was the uber upgrade of all time!

It does look good, doesn't it? I'll give this one a go if I'm not "over" WWII tactical shooters when I finish H&D2.

I thought the next one was George Lucas' last... If Ep III is as lacklustre as Ep I and II, there might not be a whole lot of backing to be had for Episodes VII, VIII and IX.

Episode III - Death of a Franchise...

Real riflemen can judge distance out to 1000m with an accuracy of +/- 25m.... Of course, any self respecting sniper would leave all the "Hollywood" semi auto sniper rifles at home and be leopard crawling through the foliage with an L96 cradled in his/her arms. Favourite movie gun = the MP40...

Mine is my real middle name slightly altered to make it appear slightly East European as I've been told I look kind of Slavic, especially when I user to wear my old fur lined Russian border guards hat when in winter.

I don't want to get my hopes up, but that concept art looks damn good to me and Troika did a nice, if slightly unbalanced, job with Arcanum.

That comes from my reading Manfredi's "The Last Legion" which has plenty of Latin quotes and having a bit of a hankering to brush up on my Virgil and Horace... My Latin (ish) quote of the day is - "Quantum materiae materietur marmota monax si marmota monax materiam possit materiari?" I'm...

PC games I've really enjoyed playing and have played through their SP parts/campaigns multiple times (different options, characters, mods, difficulty levels etc..) in no deliberate order whatsoever:- - FO2 - FO:T - Half Life + Opposing Force - MoH:AA - Conflict: Desert Storm 2 - Call of...

The ones who bought a new PC before XP became the standard offering and can't/won't shell out the £95 for XP Home Edition still do... I put XP on my 2 year old ME equipped machine as soon as I could and have found it way more stable and nicer to use than ME.

I always wave to other bikers when I'm out on my old Suzuki, but I draw the line at waving to scooterists/moped riders/Herr und Frau Matching Leather on their BMWs. I don't wave to Harley riders either as they're either some City yuppie having a mid life crisis or theiving, drug dealing Angel...

I did check the NMA memberlist first.... Honest!

Culpa est mea! Now, that one did take a bit of digging to get to the bottom of... I wouldn't call OTB obsessive, "very enthusiastic with regards to obscure trivia" might be more fitting... I've got this trait in spades when it comes to military and weapons history! Mmmmm.... Can't beat...

The boards appear fairly broken to me with php errors all over the place. Lessons learned: If you let monkeys borrow your car keys, don't be surprised when your car finishes up in ditch full of banana skins and monkey crap...

Scones, jam and plenty of clotted cream when we're feeling extravagant or just a few Rich Teas when times are hard in Bunker Albion.

Bread and butter instead of cake for tea? Must be some Northern thing... Unless you mean bread and butter pudding - http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/poshnosh/recipes/breadbutter.shtml A "round" of bread and butter (usually 2 slices of buttered white bread) is often served as a side order in the...

You bet! I'm fitting the spiked wheel hubs as I type...

Got any tea and biscuits? Earl Grey if possible as I can't stand that Lipton rubbish! Another asylum seeker from DaC here, I'm afraid.... Grumpy, reactionary and occasionally helpful old Brit with own teeth, hair and middle age spread seeks intelligent debates with some venting of spleen.

Exellent! I'll have a good look around and get a feel for the place, then... I'd like to know what finally shut DaC down as it's weathered quite a few storms in the past and come back swinging.

I'll try..... Does NMA have room for another grumpy old pedant?
