Hope this one makes its rounds fine. Its always mind blowing to try andthink of all the work they go through to do soemthing like this and the complexity of even, what would appear to us to be, a simple object.

Snow Wars is making its return, check out the Game Design Theory board for more info...

Gotta love that... 2 mins after take off they are so far up that if they abort, they'd land in Spain.

I was on some beach in Florida during a shuttle launch 4 years ago, so got to see it front row! Was really good, but it was really quick, and suprisingly there was no sound

Megaton looking at the roads and trees around you crater I'm guessing you might actually weigh a megaton. Time to cut back on the chips.
