I forgot to read the rules, and it would be hard to wait an entire week; your guess is correct btw

An Eagles number, I suspect!

I suspect that it was a lot more Joe Walsh than Eagles.

He's not listed on the writing credits: just Felder, Henley, and Frey.
His guitar work make it work though.

Most of the album was more like a Walsh album -- in fact, most of the tracks are nothing like Eagles tracks.

That could explain why it sold so well!

Yup. Even I bought it.
Buying vinyl albums was always such a satisfying thing to do.
Fings ain't wot they used to be.

I've still got four or five feet of vinyl in the spare room. 
One day, I must buy another deck to play them...(maybe USB and MP3 'em at the same time if it wasn't so slow)

Really worthwhile, though.
I did my collection a few years ago. It took months, but it gave me the chance to remember why I used to like a lot of bands.

I bought a lot of it over again on CD and backed that up to MP3 - so my MP3 collection is now some 130GB and 32K tracks...
But Vinyl had that "real" sound, and I do miss that sometimes.

I am trying the new Master of Orion game.
And I find it much less appealing that the original Master of Orion II
Part of it, certainly, is the novelty / learning curve....
However.. sometimes novelty is a welcome change in a stalling game...
No, in this case I thing they made things harder...
I might be over criticizing but it's very clear on the planetary building screen
In the original Master of Orion II you had you queue in the middle and all items on the right, everything at a glance.
In the new one, to build a new item you click on a button, which show a popup hiding the previous screen, choose some items, then close it.
if you made a mistake, you must close the window, remove the item from the queue, open the dialog again, yadaa yadaa.... such a convoluted workflow...
And these people (hopefully? obviously?) played MoO2, why unstreamlined what was an easy option?
And while it doesn't seem like much I think it turns what was a deceptively simple game into a real complicated one... 
As for the title, when I saw that, in a knee-jerk reaction I though "bloody designer" (as in a designer did the game specification and the well meaning and intelligent and actively testing developer must follow them despite that he obviously realize its foolishness!) but after calming down I think it might be more an effect of design by committee...

Hereby I christen this ship on the name Unsinkable II!
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"No, from Canada."

...original Master of Orion II actually replaced each little part of the original Master of Orion I until the original was completely replaced thus the Master of Orion II became the original...

Just try FreeOrion, FreeOrionWiki[^]
It's a pleasure to play (when you turn off the "Space monsters" option).

woa.. thanks for the link!

Well I played MoO 1 until MoO 2, MoO 2 for easily 15 years and MoO 3 maybe half a game.
And I think MoO 2 is definitely the best!

Haha unreal!
Also, on the new Master of Orion's forum I learn about the upcoming Stellaris (9th of May), by Paradox. Looks promising...

Seems right. No matter how many people fight over a chair, in the end it will be the cat that sits on it.[^]

Nicely done. Easy to set-up. Configuration straightforward. Imported all my Chrome stuff without a glitch. My initial reaction is that I like it, although haven't explored many of its features yet. Seems "fast," but can't quantify that.
Don't have a clue how its ad-blocker compares with the combination of Privacy Badger and UBlock I use in Chrome.
There's a post in "Insider News" where the new dev version is described, and linked to.
cheers, Bill

I've been using Opera for a while now and I like it. It uses Chrome's engine underneath.
There is new browser which I haven't tried yet, Vivaldi. Also uses Chrome's engine and made by some guys that were at Opera.
