You know what really bothers me about games these days..... That new feature they started putting in racing games where you can "Rewind" to fix a mistake you made. Why would they do that, now new players have a crutch and can't learn how to be true gamers by doing the race over and over and actually learn how to drive the game shaving 1 second off by going through the grass or whatever.

Know what makes me feel old? Knowing that the old Batman TAS and 90s X-men cartoon series are still superior to most TV today, live action or animated, in how they worked through problems and imparting valuable advice while telling compelling stories that made you care about the characters.

My daughter recently turned 19 years old. Makes me feel kind of old. And having watched "The Love Bug" in TV and "Bernard & Bianca" in the cinema... And the fact, that people, wo where born in 1994 - the year I've absolved my highschool diploma - today could be my boss.... *brrrr*

You've obviously never watched Treehouse. Mike the Knight and Ranger Rob are great for these kinds of things.

I know what you mean. There will never be another game show like the Gong Show. It was perfect. Never gonna happen again in this life time.

My 21 year old "turned me on" to this gutarist he "found".
"Dad, you ever here of a guy named Jeff Beck? He's incredible."
Now my grey hairs are falling out faster then before.

Haha, track parties on the Badgers were always a blast. Those 4 tonne Leo 1 tracks were a blast to build.

I reckon I know better about tanks not aging well, because for the last few years (before switching to Int last summer) I ran a 40 Year old tank. Yeah, the girls needed a lot of TLC, but they still did the job.
What kind of tanks do you Canucks drive any way. I cross trained in fire control systems when I was on active duty. That was over 20 years ago. I remember geeking out on the thermal imaging systems.

We had one M1 that got sunk in a muddy creek and completely fried all the circuits. There were some upset people on that one, when we told them it couldn't be fixed.

Canada runs the Leopard 2's for MBT's. Our AEVs (which is what I drove) were based on the old Leo 1 chassis. There are new ones in production right now based on the Leo 2 chassis though. Those machines are beasts. So pretty.
