THAT'S new. When can you use them? Every night or only at certain hours?

I'm not sure if I want to go to command school. The psychological pressure there would be immense, and at the moment, I'm struggling to cope with all the pressure in BMT. Well, it's up to you. See if you think you can stretch yourself further. Wait, they let you access the internet at boot camp? Of...

Pulau Tekong? Just try your best to keep up with the training, fall out if you're really not feeling well, drink lots of water and get as much sleep as possible, and that includes your weekend book outs; don't go crazy partying or whatever, you'll just feel the effects on Monday. The physical part i...

@mr friendly guy - Thanks, I'll see if I come across something like that.

@aerius - Thanks for your advice. Wow, you've been trading for a long time. Thats wonderful.

The other option is to set up a practice account. Where you play with imaginary money. Initially me and my friend were thinking of doing that before moving on to real money. At the time I was thinking of risking no more than $10,000, so $350 is quite small. However since I decided to play with stoc...

Gee, it seems like no one thinks its a good idea. I am fully aware that it's not something that can be done easily, that the arrtition rates are somewhere around or above 90% within a few years, and that the risk is really high. But I'm trying it out nonetheless. Yes, I only trade with money which I...

Hello, Is anyone here currently trading or has had experience trading the Forex market? I've just started a short while ago and am currently learning the hard way. I hope to seek for advice from more senior traders to shorten my learning curve. I started a small account at the minimum size (USD 350)...

Would you have knowledge of how that medieval army operates? Because management, sociology, psychology is only useful to a small extent. More important is knowledge of how a medieval army is organised, commanded, moved, supplied, and how it fights. A smartass could very well make things worse withou...

Wow, I've just finished reading Jim Raynor's response to RLM's TPM review and I'd like to say thank you for spending the time and effort to write it and expose the crap that's in it. Have you ever written reviews of any of the Star Wars films? If you have, I'd be interested in reading those.

Nice pictures and narration! I'm looking forward to seeing more of it. Now what is a half and half? Is it like a mix of coffee and tea or something?

He really said "It must have been God's will" that seems a bit.... harsh.... It seems more likely that he meant something along the lines of "God makes everything happen for a reason. Bad things sometimes happen to good people. Prayer and meditation will be useful in finding the answ...

This is all very interesting. I do have a question: Dispite the enmity between the Churches of Rome and Constantinople, weren't there times when there was an equal or greater amount of discord between Rome and the Christian European nations? Perhaps when the Church of England emerged or when there w...

Thank you for the great story, Stuart. The whole journey from Armageddon to Pantheocide has been a wonderful ride and I would like to register my thanks.

I tried the same thing over the weekend. Try starting in 1405 when Byz has 4 provinces and a weakened Ottoman Empire. Declare war on Achaea, Epirus and Athens before you unpause. That will also lead you to war with Venice and Naples because of guarantees. Which is great, because it also allows you t...

Isn't there a term for European types that means red-faced hairy jerk-offs or something like it...? That's probably the term "Ang Moh Ren" or "Ang Moh Gui", a Hokkien term meaning "Red Haired Person" which is more commonly used or "Red Haired Ghost" which is ...

That's great for a penultimate chapter. I'd love to have some glimpse about the aftermath of heaven and hell. In hell, existing countries grabbed some space for their own while new governments such as New Rome set themselves up. I wonder if the same would happen to heaven or if another approach will...

From the local publications on Philippine Psychology journals, they say it basically just amounts to some weird form of tribal mentality. A lot of the political dynasties have supporters concentrated in towns or cities. There's a Marcos municipality in Illocos Norte, which changed the name of their...

Government here in Singapore? I think it's one of the rare ones which work, and it works pretty well. And by bringing this tiny little island from third world to first in the space of one generation, it has my support. Yes, it's not perfect, but nothing is. I have no complaints. Standard corrupt 3rd...

The Terminator wins! Without a workable wanky cloak, the Predator has nowhere to hide. With iron biceps, titanium triceps, targeting software, an array of weapons and an Austrian accent, the Terminator blows him away! :lol: The Terminator doesn't need cover. He IS a walking piece of cover! And well,...

Yes, I would use it, but unfortunately I don't have my own webhost. And I'm not sure if many other people do. That's the obstacle for me.

STRASBOURG (AFP) - – Italy on Wednesday began its appeal against a European Court of Human Rights ruling condemning the display of crucifixes in Italian schools in a case that could affect all of Europe. The court's ruling in November found the display of crucifixes in Italian schools breached the ...

Don't touch EU: Rome, and definitely look at the mods for EU3. If you're going to get EU3 at all, do get the expansions (which means get EU3: Complete). Give the demo a try.

Get HOI3. Although I remember having good times with HOI2 (if you get HOI2, make sure you get the expansion, Armageddon), I HOI3 is still a step forward. On second thoughts, AOD looks like it might be better than HOI3. I had previously come across AOD but I didn't read up on it. Now that I have, it...

Would you care to elaborate on the unplayable bits? As for your point on it taking ages to complete, I don't find it much of an issue. The length of the whole campaign is something that I enjoy.

Get HOI3. Although I remember having good times with HOI2 (if you get HOI2, make sure you get the expansion, Armageddon), I HOI3 is still a step forward.
