Autobahnstorming
I’ll be driving around in Germany for the next few days. Back Monday.

Varyous pictures
Various randomness… A poster campaign by the Acadamy of Linguistic Awarness*, “Don’t sound stupid, stop saying like. These are pretty funny. Here’s another.

So, To command squadrons of starships? These aren’t games… they’re entire simulation spaces, entire little self-contained universes, where you can be whoever you want – from a self-styled Caped Crusader to the aforementioned starship captain.
