I felt like the guy in Star Wars, down in the trench of the Death Star with his X-Wing trying to get a lock on that exhaust vent, "Almost there... almost there..." Kaboom! He gets blown up. Never got there.

Anyway, it was a tough fight. If you feel rusty, then shake it off and you'll be a gosh darn animal.

thanks, ya i'll just need to practice again. a star wars fan as well as a star trek fan huh?

How'd you know I was a Trekkie? Did I make my location something like Sigma Iotia II? Now I gotta check!

your location is Beta Antares IV. Gathering info about others is pretty easy with deductive thinking. thats how i usually know others before they know me.

So you either Googled Beta Antares IV and found out that Kirk made up a game called Fizbin and attributed it to the culture on Beta Antares IV, or you are also a Trekkie!

A great Trek site is http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Portal:Main .

haha the former, not really a trekkie, but the recent movie was pretty cool. I'll look through that site sometime.

Ever see Steve Oedekerk's "Thumb Wars" version? Hilarious! After the guy flys along saying "Almost there...almost there...almost there..." He goes "You know, if I had to do this all over again, I'd have entered this trench a lot closer to the target." Then Kaboom!
