After reading through this thread, I don't feel so odd about running 30 feet of speaker wire into my Kitchen so I can listen to the game while doing dishes or cooking.
Try wireless headphones man! I know they did not exist in 1945 but nor did computers

You can buy cheaply RED bulbs for almost any lamp. I'm currently building a custom one for my desktop that has two bulbs one red and one blue, and a switch that allows me to either turn one or the other on

Thats a lot of money for a reproduction. Besides imagine the humiliation of wearing a "new" captian's cap. Every one, but every one knows that Kool Kaleuns wear broken in caps at a "don't give a crap" angle

You would have to spend some time getting it properly broken in and filthy

and just when you got it perfect, your wife or Girlfriend would either wash it or throw it away!!!!!!

You don't have the white hat YET?

<shaking head> (snicker)

I decided to grow a beard just because I was playing SH3!

<no I can't back that up>

I do wish there was a way I could have the lights in my office dim to red when the game is red. that would be cool
My beard is 6 weeks and getting bigger and better. I tell myself in my more lucid moments that its not because of the game. But I know it is

>>Does anyone use their own stopwatch?

Yup. Digital, but hey. It's handy. Keep it right on the desk next to the mouse

Get a red light! Make sure to have two lamps, one red one white so you can switch! And if you really want, get a blue one too like Das Boot.

I use the same analog stopwatch that I used when I was in the US Navy. It was used to measure circiut breaker trip times.

Actually, I thought all you guys had one... I can't even start the game till I find mine. Makes me feel naked without it. (No funny comments...)

Digital? Come on man! I still have a turntable and about 2000 records!
