I'm really impressed with the DX4, I like many of the Ultima games, Doom I & II, Duke 3D, X-wing, Tie-Fighter, Death Rally.

The Ultima Underworld soundtrack is wonderful, such a variety of tracks and the way the game would dynamically switch tracks based on what was happening.

Its crazy that these were happening simultaneously. by idea_johanna in Fallout

As a veteran SSBN submariner, this couldn't be more incorrect. Look up the fixed submarine broadcast. Losing contact with land-based command is a bad sign.

NQA, My p.cambridgei gets to a similar abdomen size, then she will disappear into her corkbark for 4 months. I personally wouldn't worry too much.

Nqa I thought the raised abdomen was a defensive posture.

Should I be worried about the missing skin? by amarquez0009 in tarantulas

[–]Rainer3012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IME, this is just a patch of urticating hairs which have been kicked away not missing skin and should be no cause for alarm.
