I normally hunt down in the tropics, so I've never seen one, but cool pics! i just got a couple of books on the St. Lawrence U-Boat war vs. Canada (I imagine it was pretty limited!) so I'm thinking of heading to Canada for a change. Maybe I'll make a detour to get some ice for our drinks!

@Venatore,

Didn't you do the graphics mod in your screen shots?
And didn't your daughter name it?

I don't remember the name at the moment but I know I have it
on one of the servers here at home.
:rock:

That's hilarious! And a great name for a mod like this, hehe.

Will there be an Ice Age II? :up: (not that there's anything wrong with this one)

Frank0001,

The short answer is "Yes" ;)

Frank0001 05-17-08 06:21 PM

Nice, I'm looking forward to it! You already did such a good job on #1

@Venatore

Very cool!
:up:

Perhaps we need to put a Polar bear one one of them?
;)

I got one here now.
:yep:
I was thinking I should animate it some so it's not frozen.
:rotfl:

300%-500% of what you see over surface, i.e. three to five times more is under water than above water. :)
