when I was in the first set of gulf war festivities with the AF (511th TFS’s A10’s for the one person that may give an eff), after the ground war was over there was absolutely N o t h i n g to do at all.

At the last moment before shipping off to saudi on christmas eve, I absentmindedly threw in my set of flying buffalo’s Nuke War (+ escalation) into my chem gear bag. Needelss to say I remembered them when Boredom set in.

Really cannot stress how much fun nuke war is with 6 really bored Airmen that were collecting hazardous duty pay in a war zone. Something about all alternating running to the latrines on account those sand flea bites causing um well not the right blog for all that I guess!

pain, military issue Toilet paper, a game everyone loses in, and hitting on the mortician chicks the tent down the way using the really horrid german we all kinda knew from our FOL back in USAFE.

Then beck had that sprechen die duetch line in “I’m a loser” *blink*

Take my advice and do whatever touch -ups you need to do right away... If you put it off til later, they may never get done.<br/><br/>Also, If your PC is churning really bad w/Oblivion, bite the bullet and switch to 800x600 and turn some of that other eye candy back on. I'm running a PC with close to the same specs as you, and lowering the resolution has helped out a ton. I'm not budgeted(read: wife has ok'ed it) to upgrade my PC until the end of the year, but there's no way I was gonna wait that long to partake in some Oblivion goodness! Congrats on the house!
