I am not a WII owner, player, or critic, but I can think of a good game for the whole family:
“Let’s Preserve Our Constitution While We Still Have The Means”


Would make a good Civilization and/or Age of Empires scenario. B-) Alternately, I wonder how Duke Nukem would handle it? B-D

Seriously, I hear ya, man, but there are times we need to have a little R&R too. It's like the old song (1978) from the Atlanta Rhythm Section titled "I'm Not Going To Let It Bother Me Tonight."

I picked up the paper this morning
And read all the daily blues
The world is one big tragedy
I wonder what I can do

About all the pain and injustice
About all of the sorrow
We're living in a danger zone
The world could end tomorrow

But I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight
I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight
Tomorrow I might go as far as suicide
But I won't let it bother me tonight

Life on the street is a jungle
A struggle to keep up the pace
I just can't beat that old dog eat dog
The rats keep winnin the rat race

But I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight
I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight
The world is in an uproar and I see no end in sight
But I won't let it bother me tonight

I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight
Tomorrow I might go as far as suicide
But I won't let it bother me tonight

Lord, Lord, Lord
We got nothing but trouble
I've done all I can do today
So bartender pour me a double, right now

But I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight
I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight
The world is in an uproar and I see no end in sight
But I won't let it bother me tonight

I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight
No I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight
Tomorrow I might go as far as suicide
But I will not let it bother me tonight

Don't get me wrong, we all care here, but there are times we do need to chill The one thing we need to be on the watch for is what the lame duck Congress will try to do, but beyond that, the real work begins January 3rd.

Don’t know if your into MMO’s Nowhere Man, but the Lord of the Rings online is really good. It’s as good of quality as WoW, but it’s FREE. FREE to download, FREE to play.

The download is a test of patience though.


I do play "Anarchy Online" MMO from time to time, it is a sci-fi game. There is a free version but there is a pay version too. I might give Lord of the Rings a shot too. I'd like to start a Freeper contingent in both MMO's.

I also play Diablo, Diablo II and Diablo II, Lord of Destruction. I do Ikarium too where you build up an ancient civilization in the Med intermixed with a little fantasy (you have "woodpunk" mechs, helicopters and cubs) as well. In that game, it is easy to manage in a few minutes but it is taking up more gaming time, we are in a war footing right now.

I understand your point, but please don’t wait until Jan 3. SB510 is going to be voted upon, Monday, Nov 29. If it passes and becomes law, you will not be allowed to grow your own food.
Please call and email your Congressmen and Senators to kill this bill.

I play Diablo II/LOD from time to time. I just now got into the habit of starting my character in a game even if I’m burned out so bnet won’t delete my character.

Warcraft III/Frozen Throne has been the one that has taken most of my gaming hours, still does the this day.

I’m going to check out Anarchy on the youboob right now.

I’m on crickhollow server if you decide to do Lord of the Rings.

Thanx for the reminder. I think that in a lame duck Congress, there should be a law where they cannot get together and vote on laws until the new one is sworn in, save for wartime (on a World War II scale) or a dire national emergency.

My father grows a garden. Even though my parents divorced in 1976 and he remarried, he still gives Mom and I some of the stuff he grows.

Come to think of it, this law is almost unenforceable, it is like many drug laws. So many people do it, there is no way you can catch them all. Still logistics aside, we need to stop it, they can still make examples and so forth. I remember one thing Ayn Rand said, "the more laws you make, the more criminals you create." Yeah, I'll jump aboard and try to stop this, we all do, not only this is dumb but this runs against the Constitution bigtime.

I did call my Senators, Casey & Specter, today to let them know my disapproval of SB510 FWIW. I don’t know if it will sink or not but at least I tried to do my part.

Once I get my Christmas stuff up and have time to chill, I might give Lord of the Rings a try.

It’s a time sink for sure. I think you’ll like it. It’s much better than paying for a WoW subscription.
