Blog entries by Panzer Tacticer

Dropping this post in General gaming, because, it's pretty general over all. I just performed a rather milestone moment. They're gone. Yep, I bought myself a rather beautiful 10k white gold ring with my birthstone (aquamarine), that came with matching earrings and necklace. And I am using...
Wow has it been that long? Came into this scene 8 years ago (the point where I had the Nintendo DS just so I could play Panzer Tactics which made me wait till 2007 to get it). Here it is post Ps4 and X-Boneheaded launches of 2013 (you might detect that I think the average X-Box One purchaser...
Sooooo it's been a while since I dropped by, still have the place in my mind though. Can't think of a single other place on the net worth a hoot for discussing gaming (not that there are no other places, they just ain't as useful (my opinion of course). They finally gave us the 3DS XL, not...
Well it is not like I have stopped liking the games I have for it. But yesterday I finally ended up with the damned tablet. Finally, for real, not just a lot of talking about the thing. It does all the things I required of a hand held device. It plays games too, like I required of the...
This site definitely needs a large waffle icon to allow users that waffle on decisions to have fun poking fun at themselves :) So the on again off again, and now on again obsession with a tablet rears it's head in my life. Yes I bought the laptop, and yes, you would think I would be cash...
Sooooooo I still want one, but, the deal fell through. Ok if I had 6 hundred bucks just sitting here, maybe I could buy one, but, it likely would still get passed over. The thing is, A it's not always about me (want to get the wife's laptop replaced). B. if I get a new laptop she can have my...
I was just reading a thread on a site I know to be almost ground zero for wargaming grognards. My feelings after reading the thread, fuck em, fuck em and fuck the hobby if all it can ever expect to get from them is the lack of interest in ever budging. Clearly, they think only a desk top will...
It sucks, sucks a LOT I say, but the truth is, well I am NOT playing them, I just have them on the computer. Oh but I miiiiight play them so I should leave them installed I tell myself. I finally got tired of listening to my own bullshit. They're good games, in some cases great games, often...
I am a complete gamer, by that I mean, I own an Nintendo DSiXL, I have a PS3 (even if I only own one game for it), I play PC games, and I own role gaming books, as well as board games like the board game version of Civilization. I also own numerous wargames, but I think everyone already is...
Ok this is GBA Temp, and it's not odd to think most would be talking about predominantly Nintendo based games. Sorry can't help ya there, as so often the games released mean diddly to me. But I still like games, I just like games that are often very niche very isolated in market. Just the...
Had to post this, and it is sort of a bellow, because it always irks me to listen to you kids complaining about needing it to be the cheapest possible option (when discussing carts), and really, if you are actually making decisions based on a difference of a couple of bucks, my advice, get a...
In as much as this is GBATemp, and thus a Nintendo stronghold, it might seem like a silly place to rave about non Nintendo tech. Oh well, we CAN and DO like other things eh :) I have been waiting and biding my time on the ole tablet purchase (largely because I let my spending get insane (for my...
Well it is not a console game nor something from Nintendo but hey, that's just the way it is eh. Slitherine/Matrix Games is releasing Panzer Korps on monday. http://www.slitherine.com/ Why is this great news? Well almost everyone knows Panzer General eh, and this is basically the rebirth of...
I am fed up beyond capacity to say while remaining civil. You already know me as old, but I am officially quitting being an adult as of today here (and it is happening on the locations I have not quit as a result of hating adults). I plan to be '19' till hell freezes over. I will be 19...
Soooo my computer downloading days essentially begin about 2000 and they reached their peak like 2006. By 2004-5 I was grabbing stuff to burn to disk at a pace where a 100 disk spindle was almost a monthly need. Today, I am at a point where having blank disks handy is almost not required. In...
Ok there can be many things said of the current election results, but really I suspect you as do I only really care where the internet is concerned eh. The Conservatives today have a majority, that is not wholely great. But Jack Layton is our man when it comes to internet issues, and his party...
Sooooooo I was over at Wizard's forums today (likely a mistake, the place only seems to annoy me). How on earth do some people manage to ask some questions? Are they really that spineless, or stupid, or both? So many threads seem to scream out 'grow a spine you damned wimp'. So many threads...
Sooooo I have seen it held it played it. Yawn. Glad it was my friends and not mine. Not sure what the hype is for. Yes it is a lot lighter, omg was it really that important? Yes it is back to being too damned small, ok not a problem I suppose if you are a little kid. Guess Nintendo really...
Didn't think I would have a new post so quickly. So I re installed the OS the other day, not routinely a problem for me (I do it a lot). This means re installing programs too of course (not routinely a problem either). Well until recently. I don't liiiiike Steam, but until today I didn't hate...
Ok this is not to indicate a renewed desire to post. Still massively bummed out. But thanks for the comments in the preceding blog entry. Still goner on the other site (will be till early May). When I get back on, I plan to edit my profile and leave properly. They lost me for good there. You...

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
