Cool little vid some in color, some in b&w film. The color film looks to be pretty good quality too!

Link is proper now.

The link leads to a review of an NVidia card.

I thought it would be cool if we could actually rescue people on liferafts as special missions by using the same maddness as we rescue pilots, beyond my modding skills, so talked to traveller and he did it. Just need to make some special missions for campaign to rescue a liferaft and then you go find it and click on it like you would a pilot, the people and boat vanish, but works good. Just got to get him to put some nurses on the rafts..

Sorry about that. Had about 10 things going on at once, and then I caught a groundhog in my darn brussel sprouts!

Needless to say, he won't be a pest anymore! Gnawed off 3 plants that were about a foot tall. I was fumin'!

Children everywhere will celebrate his memory and valiant sacrifice.

Pray tell, what's a ground hog ?

Hylander_1314 · 06-14-12, 05:04 AM

A very large ground squirrel.

Check this link out Bill:

"Groundhogs are the largest members of the squirrel family. Though they are usually seen on the ground, they can climb trees and are also capable swimmers. These rodents frequent the areas where woodlands meet open spaces, like fields, roads, or streams. Here they eat grasses and plants as well as fruits and tree bark. Groundhogs are the bane of many a gardener. They can decimate a plot while voraciously feeding during the summer and fall seasons."

Trust me, when you have a garden 75ft x 75ft, and varment-kong invade it, you get a little perturbed to say the least.

And just keeping it weeded is a major chore, and it got hot here early this year. Will end up having to opt for fall peas, and spinach, as they won't bear much before the heat die off, and going to seed.

My springer spaniel killed about 50 groundhogs in his lifetime.

Quite the solemn video there. People having their lives saved. Quite moving.

Geez I won't complain about cabbage moth larvae eating my basil anymore.

Hylander_1314 · 06-14-12, 09:50 PM

At least a big fat groundhog is a tasty critter! Some carrots, peas, potatoes, and some gravy!
