It's a chain of "big box" arts-and-crafts stores.  The only men who wander in there by themselves are generally lost...

Huh. If banzai is stuck there for a while then he might as well reconnoiter for materials suitable towards scratch building minis terrain or something like that.

Trust me...I occupied myself by doing JUST that. Even though I'm no minis-modeler, I would see stuff and think "hey, that would make cool scrub brush/bushes...and that styrofoam could totally be carved into a burned-out cafe or something for a machinegun team to use as cover..."

You gotta do what you gotta do in trying times.

My local one actually has the specific imitation mini terrain stuff, along with a modelling kit/paint isle.

I'll likely enjoy SPG2 more than X:Rebirth once they finish it, sometime in the future.  It has a lot more ship customization, including ships and equippables.  I'm not currently all that happy with how overly sensitive the mouse controls are but I expect that to get adjusted.

Regardless of how good a PC game may be it will always have its detractors and no matter how bad a PC game may be it will always have its fans.

Indeed. I picked up about $50 worth of discounted games off my Steam wishlist tonight. (The most expensive being the final DOW2 game. FINALLY!!)

I thought about getting Rise of Flight and some selected expansions, but I had kind of decided a while back to pick up... whatever the 3rd game is instead... not RoF or OFF. Dangit. (I'll have to peruse old Grogthreads to find it.)
ICEBREAKER THESIS CHRONOLOGY! -- Victor Suvorov's Stalin Grand Strategy theory, in lots and lots of chronological order...
Dawn of Armageddon -- narrative AAR for Dawn of War: Soulstorm: Ultimate Apocalypse
Survive Harder! -- Two season narrative AAR, an Amazon Blood Bowl career.
PanzOrc Corpz Generals -- Fantasy Wars narrative AAR, half a combined campaign.
Khazâd du-bekâr! -- narrative dwarf AAR for LotR BfME2 RotWK campaign.
RobO Q Campaign Generator -- archived classic CMBB/CMAK tool!

I got Space Empires V yesterday from the Strategy First sale.  Thanks Greybriar.  Now I have SEIV and SEV.

Yes, Legendary Heroes is the newest game in the Elemental series.  And I still can't stop playing it.  :)
