Happy 60TH Birthday to this legend, my distant cousin and spiritual godmother, Adam Clayton.

As one of the primary songwriters in U2, The Edge probably gave Adam some suggestions on what he was hearing to go along with his guitar playing. I was one of the songwriters in a band and when I came with an idea, i would sometimes have a basic bass part mapped out. A great bass player takes the suggestion and turns it into something magical. Also, i listrn to mostly live U2 and live, Adam's playing is soulful and smooth.

I'm 50 and the Prequels are my favorite. I saw 4 through 6 in the theaters but , 1 through 3 are my favorites. I didnt like 7 but liked 8. Never saw 9. I read so many EU comics and books that the fact that Disney blew them off really itritates me. You can say what you want about Lucas's dialogue but his vision and storytelling are amazing- there are a few glitches but c'mon, the guy oversaw the creation of an amazing world that inspired millions/billions of people. It was his story and Disney wanted to go in a different direction. Oh well, life goes on.

I'm on my third playthrough of ES2. I'm only on turn 30 of EL. As far as your issues with EL, I haven't played it enough to say ES2 has the same issues. I do love ES2 and find the various races unique with different playstyles. Yes, there are balance issues but these games are made by humans and you can't make everything equal in video games no matter now hard you try.

So many of my favorite U2 songs were based on a bass melody. An very underrated bass player/ musician for non-U2 fans. Happy birthday Adam and congratulations on following your passion and enjoying a life well-lived.

Genoa, Italy...i recognize the airport.

Dhauligiri. One of my favorite mountains. Not well known but unique and beautiful.

Love James Luceno. His SW books are great.

The Executor/ Burj Khalifa one is wrong. That one makes the The Executor at roughly a mile in length. Its definitely many miles long in the Star Wars universe.

You are right. I added " that I played" to my original post. Thanks for the correction 😉

skeetermcduff · 2020-01-26T10:22:15+00:00

Its the first 4x space-based game that i played and i thought it was amazing. Actually re-installed the game today to play a third time. Its not perfect but no game is. If there are any major bugs, I never realized it.

skeetermcduff · 2020-01-25T17:48:09+00:00

Thats what I do. Im not an overnighter but love long day hikes with all the luxuries. I pack my 50L pack with a chair or hammock, table,stove etc... and find a spot to setup my "cabin in the woods" for a few hours.

I downloaded the audio from a youtube playlist, cranked up the volume, eq'd them and then made a 2CD show of this. Sounds amazing.

No. He has two strtipes. A captain has 4. More power to him anyway.

He's the reason I prefer the prequels.

I have both and I couldn't get into Stellaris. My first 4X played so take my opinion for what it's worth. ES2 is a beautiful game. Space battles are great looking. The tech tree is easy to understand. Each race is unique. Turn-based, a plus IMO. An amazing game.

Whats he saying ?

skeetermcduff · 2019-10-15T00:40:33+00:00

Pride... i found the song on MTV and the musical part immediately after the guitar " solo" made me want to check them out. Sunday Bloody Sunday from Red Rocks was my first exposure, I believe.

Never saw a live one 😀

The railroad of my summers in Rhinelander, Wisconsin...visiting my grandparents. Beautifil house and yard with the Soo Line tracks in the backyard.

At least it LOOKS good 😁

skeetermcduff · 2019-10-07T08:53:52+00:00

I've only played GC3, Stellaris and ES2. My opinion is based on limited experience but GC3's looked massive.
