As far as books go, gotta say the X Wing series and the two Behind Enemy Lines of the NJO are my favorites

Yeah those are great series alright.

It depends what I'm looking for. If I want light-hearted, fun action/adventure, those books are hard to beat. If I want philosophical rumination along with spurts of dark badassery, I'll pick up a Stover book, as they do that the best. If I want grand plotting and universe building, Zahn's there.

So hard drive was dying on my desktop (it's the original hard drive from 6+ years ago when I built the pc). Was planning on replacing at the end of the year (wanted to give AMD's Zen a chance), but with having to replace the hard drive (went with a 960 GB SSD), I decided to go ahead and hold off on desktop full replacment for another 18 months or so to try second generation Zen. To whit, I just upgraded my aging GTX 760 2 GB to a GTX 970 4 GB to help games out along with the nice new SSD. While the processor isn't exactly top of the line (FX 8320 octa-core), it's still sufficient for all the games I play.

Good choice. I've been very happy with my 970.

970 indeed is a good and reliable one. I have the 650 at the moment, but was thinking in upgrading to 970 too.

Well this almost died. Sad indeed.

Almost being the key word.

Precisely. So what fascinating topic should we discuss next?

Brexit, stage left.

what's so funny?

Well, hopefully I'll be able to join y'all at the Ascendancy game tomorrow. We will see if I have the time and the availability (working on remodeling the house but I'm hopeful).

Funny thing is I used a cardboard box to sneak by my SF instructors back in my first year in the military so it does work.
Didn't make it through SF selection though so I guess I'm not as good as Snake either lol
