Randomness

There's a rocket launcher named Gustav? Who woulda thunk?

The Carl Gustav launcher (it's Swedish)

Yup, the Carl Gustaf is actually made by Bofors in Karlskoga, which is not very far from where I live.

EA has released RED ALERT 1 for free download http://www.ea.com/redalert/news-detail.jsp?id=62

I'm waiting to see how Red Alert 3 will be. The realism seems to have gone way down. Then again, time travel and really weird superweapons aren't exactly realistic...

I was gonna say, Red Alert 2 had a weather machine and Yuri's force had telepathically guided Anti-Aircraft weapons , they abandoned realism awhile ago

I'd like to try out RA3 when I get a new computer too.

[Dusalis Drake]

I watched some video of RA3 on its website and the buildings and units seem cartoony to me. RA2's explosions look like crayons but this is a little different. The new stuff makes want to laugh instead of cheer.

Got the wifi finally working in the hostel. There's nothing to do otherwise here. The weather consists of nothing but clouds and rain and I'm at my countries summer capital were there should be nice weather. This summer has been a total bust. At day I'm working in doors so it doesn't bother me that much but in the evenings I would like to see the sun.

Where are you again? What country/city?

[Entilzha]

I'm in Estonia and the city is called Pärnu. I have a job site here at the moment I live in the capital Tallinn.

This is very random, but I'm all hyped up now. I just checked my email and got the final schedule for the Fulbright Enrichment Seminar I'm going to next week in Canberra (the Australian capital, and yes, they do spell it that way), and there's a note that they've confirmed we'll have a brief meeting with the Prime Minister. Woah.

[Alelou]

Wow, you're on a Fulbright? Good for you! Enjoy hobnobbing with the PM...

[blacknblue]

It's amazing the range of people you meet on this board. Fulbright scholars, rednecks, doctors, engineers, editors, farmers, who knows what all else.

[Linda]

And don't forget complete certified idiots like moi!

Jadzia, you are still traveling in Australia? BTW I love your avatar and I tried to come up with a story that would give Travis a personality. I can't come up with any...

[Distracted]

I tried in my season five and six stories. There's just not much to work with. You pretty much just have to treat him like an OC and make everything up. I think the episode where he goes back to Horizon and sees his Mom and brother is the only one that expands his character a bit.

[blacknblue]

I am building an MU travis character, and even there he is almost a blank slate. You can take the few grains fo sand you have to work from and build any kind of skysraper you wish for. Make him a hero, a villain, a coward, a traitor, anything at all and no one can contradict you.
