Hexenritter posted:Having just blazed through the four currently available episodes of Grand Tour only to bemoan the wait for more content, I would very much like to see the Grand Soar become a regular thing. How is it, by the way? I'm on the fence about subscribing for Prime just to watch the show. Worth it?

Well I'll definitly try to post more Grand Soar stuff if people want it. I'm a bit afraid of overdoing it though, perhaps once a mission or something.

Don't want you to burn out on it, and, yeah, love your Grand Soar stuff. Now, if there was a way to combine this with the French Foreign Legion troubles brewing in the Med; time for Round Two of the Hundred Year War.

In addition to Grand Tour, Amazon Prime also has a giant Top Gear archive from season 2 up to season 16. In other words, from the season where James May came back to the post-reboot show up to, but not including, the seasons that Netflix has licensed. They also have a bunch of the Top Gear DVD specials, like Perfect Road Trip and the James May Cars of the People documentaries. On top of the other good stuff that's exclusive to it. I know this because my PS4 has basically turned into an Amazon Prime and Netflix box.

I bingewatched that while drinking Jim Beam Honey in the year end wind down of 2016. Polished off a whole bottle in one night. My girlfriend's PS3 is basically our Amazon/Netflix/Hulu box now. We haven't fired up rock band 3 in literally years.

 Tonight! Start time is approximate depending on whether or not the goat herders manage to clear the airstrip in time for launch.  You know how those goats are. (Delicious with Smokey Ivan's BBQ Sauce)

If you marinate the goat first you basically get pulled pork. It's fine.

slothrop posted:Jesus Christ what is going on with the Meteors 41 Meteors, 21 Sparrows, 28 ATA kills. The big problem was that the misses were clustered on the second wave that came up after they cleared the bar off of their airfield. If they'd been more evenly distributed we'd have lost fewer planes. Goat rich exhaust.

CourValant posted:Is . . . is this for real?? Well the passage of three oddball planes passing by us (it must have been them. A foxbat, a lightening and a crusader come on) coincided well enough with the events where we started missing like crazy that it was too tempting not to interpret it like that. Especially since the chat really freaked out once they saw the foxbat. Sometimes the goons reaction should mirror our own. Our inability to hit anything ingame was of course not mechanically caused by this but we need some sort of reason for our own incompetence. If you ask me it might as well be hilarious. orcbuster fucked around with this message at 21:32 on Jan 4, 2018 |

I do enjoy a good coffee flavoured milkshake but I'm a tea guy at heart. I like my women like I like my coffee... Ground finely and poured into a plastic cup ... Cold and steeped in a fridge for several days ... Robust enough to qualify as chemically enhanced Free two day shipping really does tempt me a lot, especially for CDs. I think I accidentally left a CD wallet with a shitload of my music CDs in the Trailblazer when we junked it so now I've got to rebuy a bunch of them and knowing my girlfriend got me prime is the only thing that's softened the blow. That and I've got almost enough Bing reward points for a ten buck gift card so I can get one mostly for free Hexenritter fucked around with this message at 01:41 on Jan 5, 2018 |

Operation Catlike Tread AAR  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVuj_DS0ADI   In one of our odder exfiltrations, a wave of Meteor's and Sparrows missed. Again. And again. And again. Already statisticians at the Pentagon, Saab, and ESPN, are arguing about the Gamblers Fallacy and potential impacts of localized jammers. But to go back a bit, we infiltrated, were detected before we hit formup, and managed to drop almost all of the hostiles before they could make a run on our boats. At the same time DT5 crashed a Schmohz truck onto the Mihail Kogalniceanu Airport and delay the launch of some particularly deadly MIG's. Once our sailors started the And then there was a race between a MIG-25, a Lightning F.6, and an RF-8 Crusader. That's right. Grand Soar is in the area. (You need to go back and read orcbuster's prose, it's epic.) The producers have assured me that they won't fire on anyone but will "create interesting aviational situations all the while snarking about".  After recovering from the Los Angeles figgy pudding road rage incident of 2019, the Grand Tour Crew are looking to re-invigorate the brand by capitalizing on the public interest in mercenary conflicts. Expect unarmed shenanigans. ROMARM is pissed. Actually Victor Fieraru is pissed. Royally pissed. So angry he crushed the neighbors house with a bulldozer pissed. Two things have happened. One, he went onto Romanian public access TV and said he's going to pay anyone to strike our base. And two, he's purchased the entire 3DP production line for MIG-21 Bisons. All of it. Which presents a problem. Those MIG-21's are nasty. But when life gives us lemons, we make lemon vodka, or lemon flavored goat. In this case the acquisition of those barges has allowed Arsenal AD to procure the 3DP rights to... Egyptian Mirage 2000EM. So on one hand, no more MIG-21 for us. And on the other, we get access to Mirages instead. But there are still MIG-21's in the wild, and many many more to come. Already corporate is rumbling worries about those MIG-21's. And that brings us to the Croctopus Admiral. He found something.  The location of that recently purchased 3DP facility. We can choose to strike it in our next selection of operations. By doing so we will remove the threat of MIG-21's in the theater.  And the Russians. Even with all that vodka, they don't forget. Jack hit up his contacts in Moscow and they've assured us they aren't going to fire. Not intentionally. But will likely take any opportunity to remind us that they're there, ready to shoot us. Something to be aware of if we ever stray near the Russian border. For now we're waiting on the mission brief from the Schmohz folks and then we'll get our op details for planning. Everyone congratulate Davin Valkri on a musically precise mission that went off pretty damned well.  How do you guys want to handle the Russians? Stay at a distance? Strike back? Play the long game and wait for an opening? Something else? (This will determine how much I need to plan the russians in the scenarios) Yooper fucked around with this message at 17:48 on Jan 5, 2018 |
