Lonestar + Ship's MWR Money for games= Fun at Fry's
Well, myself (being the King Geek of the Ship's MWR reps) and the Chaplain are taking a trip to Fry's on Thursday to purchase some computer, Xbox, and Playstation2 games for the ship. Besides the obvious Rome:Total War, WH40K, Doom3, Full Spectrum Warrior what should we purchase?

Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."

S'a damn shame it's not in a few weeks, or you could get Nexus: The Jupiter Incident. My /god/ that game looks awesome, and from the demo, plays awesome as well. Ditto Tribes: Vengance. Sure you can't delay a little?

Already too late... You see, there the strange phenomenon in the military, where they try to use up anything left in the budget at the end of the fiscal year. That would have been thursday. The reason for this, is because anything they don't spend, they won't have in next years budget. So you end up with things like buying parkas for everyone in the unit, or 8,000 lumen projectors, and 50" plasma displays.White Haven wrote:S'a damn shame it's not in a few weeks, or you could get Nexus: The Jupiter Incident.

I think I got the more expensive present from the government. One of the above mentioned parkas. I currently have the plasma TV in my cube right now too... unfortunately it's still packed up.Lonestar wrote:Darn tootin'.

We have one of those...with a DVD/VHS player. Also, everyone on the ship got a nice "Mustang" fire retardant not-to-shabby looking Utility Jacket that also doubles as a lifepreserver.Beowulf wrote: I think I got the more expensive present from the government.
