I would chose:

Panzer Campaigns: Bulge 44: I always liked to try one of these HPS titles.

Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl: Many people will be happy if I have the possibility to relieve some aggressions... ;)

Come and See: Long time since I saw a Russian movie.

Thanks a lot!!!

Cheers
Norbert


Looks like you got those three Prima! Congrats on your almost first place.
Send me a PM with a postal address and I will put them in the post on Friday.
(Well my wife will).

All great games and DVD's - but make sure you watch Come and See in the original language with subtitles - it's far better than when dubbed.

Cheers, Chris

Hi Lod, congrats - and thank you for saving me from shipping cake or death!
(I would have found a way to do either you know (maybe a British steak)).

Great Invasions and The Crossing on their way on Friday - just PM a postal address.

Cheers, Chris

My DVD player cost $30 and can play both after I entered a command that took me 30 seconds.

(Maybe it will mess up your player though - so on your head be it).


Mine is a Sony :p leure: I would need to buy a special cable, or a special remote.

How about both Antietam and Bull Run, since the other guys didn't choose either of them.

Thanks again.

Well, I didn't know any spooky regions. I looked for Salem, Mass and Tombstone, AZ, but of course neither of those is part of the map, and I gave up.

U never tried to enter USA Korrigan?
First time i went to visiting my Ex, i landed in SF on the 10 sep 2001. Around the time of Cow madness and a foot and mouth outbreak in the UK. Comming from Denmark. Ok i know Jutland is 1 big pig farm, but i lived in Copenhagen. From stepping off the plane until i had left customes. I didnt start counting until after the 6th or 7th time. i had been ask by numerous different ppl(10+). When have u last been inside a pig sty? which was some 20 years ago at that time. Also high on the list was. Do u have any food wares along? When did i last have any physical contact with a cow? Exactly what do they insinuate with that question? :8o:
My final count depending on if it was 6 or 7 totalled at 17 or 18 times.

Some how next time i went to visit her, the questions had changed and I wasnt asked once about cows, pigs or any related items. Did i have any Bombs, scissors, terror groups affiliations and when was i planning on leaving the country topped the list then.

Entering the US (as an alien) is a dreadful experience. Would it hurt them to smile and have a joke as they check you out?

My wife is American so I go there once or twice a year and dread going through the controls. She says coming back to England is just as bad but I don't think she sees it.

Hi folks, its the time of year again when I attempt to rid myself of my most treasured possesions. Up for grabs this year are :-

PC Games
Guns of August
Half-Life2
Oblivion
Crysis
Talonsoft: Gettysburg
Talonsoft: Napoleon in Russia
Talonsoft: Battleground Waterloo

Movies
Shaka Zulu
The Last of the Mohicans

Three winners with the first getting first choice of prize, the second second choice etc ...

If you are a prizewinner just give me your address so I can send along the prize and stalk you as usual.

The big question this year is who distanced himself from Henry Ford on Halloween in 1763? If you think you know the answer please PM me. All correct answers will go into the hat for the midnight draw on 31st October.

As always please feel free to post any weird or spooky thing you like on the thread. Aphrodite and Dixi - you must have a favourite song?

Cheers, Chris
