re: #128 Hengineer

Yea well the total war games have lately taken up all my time, including mods thereof. My favorite mod so far is “Europa Barbarorum”, a realism modification for Rome: Total war, and its badass.
Currently playing as Spain in Medeival II: Total War, the current pope is spanish, is allied with me and loves me, I am in the middle of an invasion of the British isles and already hold Crete and Jerusalem.

I can’t wait to get Modern Warfare II though…

As I was shivering 12 feet up in an oak tree the other day, it occurred to me the real reason that hunting is fading away.

Video games. The new ones when played on HD sets are amazing.

Now consider. I may go all muzzle-loader season, and all modern gun season and only fire twice, three times, or maybe not at all. And I’m in the weather, uncomfortable, rained on, perched on a tiny seat or busting my way through briars and brush.

Can’t compare to sitting in my underwear on the recliner sipping a drink and munching chips while blasting away at target after target.

And you don’t even get your hands bloody.
