Didja watch the trailer? Looks even better than the first one.

That D3 patch is quite a surprise. Now I have to gear my followers.

I never expected them to go this far with them. I would have gone a bit farther but, I’ll take it none-the-less.

ohhh my. Now I understand why model ship builders goes nuts…spent the last two hours rigging a 1/700 scale frigate and not even halfway done.

Note to self: The ability to thread needles are a much needed skill.

I have not yet. I should probably go and do that huh? I personally liked the first one. Could have been a lot better, but I enjoyed it. Birds of Prey not so much, but meh

I’m awake. Like an hour before my alarm went off, on my day off. Not terribly happy about the current state of affairs, but that is ok. Gotta get gas, which is an excuse to get a coffee and donuts with the kids, take them to school, do laundry, and have the rest of the day to myself until Boogy gets out of PowerHour at 345

Not sure if the new Kong is on the menu, sleep, some games, or what. Whatever it is though, its my choice baby.

Just finished this this morning…4 hours or rigging and ratlines

Just needs a dull coat and I’m calling it finished.

The ship is 1/700 scale, it is about 6 inches from bow to stern, and is about 5 from the mainmast. It’s supposed to be a 5 rate English Frigate, but I haven’t added the nationality flags to it yet.

The part I difficulty with was the ratlines, rigging it was pretty much straight forward.

Get a needle threader. They take a lot of the effort out of threading. They’re inexpensive, and available at pretty much anywhere that sells thread (last time I got mine, I found them at WalMart).

And that frigate is amazing!

Vrak closed the thread but I really loved the term “Tower of Text” . I must remember that! :grinning:

Happy 62 to me! One day short of being an April fool. :birthday: Creepy Google even wished me a happy birthday on my phone. :eyes:

Hmm, so the Battle Net launcher icon just changed for me. Or has it been that way for a while and I’m just noticing it now?

Mine’s looked like that for awhile.

Well, guess I am just slow on noticing things, lol.

I just had a launcher update and happened to notice that it looked different to me. I’m still using the beta version of the launcher so wasn’t sure if it was an updated look. It was the color that threw me, hadn’t noticed it being that blue before.

Mine just changed today, too.

Well at least I know it wasn’t just my lack of paying attention. Thanks. Wonder why some icons were slower to update. Odd.

We may be getting older, and going crazy, but the icon is not a symptom.

Speaking of getting older, Happy ding-day, Misbecky!

Also, just noticed that the right-click menu for the taskbar icon has been drastically reduced. Guess it is only including your favorite games now vs. all of them. Which is a very nice change.

i’m hearing the ship level theme from Donkey Kong Country 2 all of a sudden. that being said, nice job.

hope you enjoy your 24 hours of immunity, (my own way of wishing a happy birthday) or…whatever is left of it then. mine comes in about a week. probably just gonna do the same thing i’ve been doing for the past year now. sit at home, play WoW or some other video game and go to bed when the time comes.

Hope you had an awesome Birthday today!! :birthday: :tada:
