  1. This was actually news to me. They did, however, announce it was coming to Wii U, but not the Wii: But "shortly" afterwards, they stated it was on hold: And since we haven't heard a peep about it since, I would strongly imagine it never got beyond the planning stages.
  2. Oh, I see it now. The period at the end kind of hid it.
  3. Apparently this thread is also answer, and so it has been moved over to the games section.
  4. Some more off topic junk has been removed. Please pay attention to the thread you’re posting in.
  5. Moved to spacecraft exchange.
  6. @Rutabaga22, we already have a long established challenge of this type: But since the rules different somewhat, you can choose to keep this open, or we can close it and you can submit your plane for entry In that challenge.
  7. Do not tell people their system hardware is acceptable when there has been no official word. If you want to state your opinion, then do so. But make it very clear that is your opinion, and has no basis in anything official. The last thing we want is to confuse and disappoint people due to others spreading misinformation.
  8. Are you sure? Have we seen officially posted specs? Please don’t make factual assurances without citations. This only leads to confusion.
  9. I love having to wait for the one diesel pump out of the 28 available, and the one idiot at that pump is getting mad cause you’re waiting for them. I bought my diesel because I drive 100 miles a day and it has clearly saved me money. But yeah, the recent spike is insane.
  10. The amount of wasted unopened ketchup must be a staggering amount. Interesting, wherefore is the question (why?) and therefore is the answer (because).
  11. I’d like to change my name to Gargamel if I could please.
  12. Hmmm, I'm no expert in any of this, so I just come up with random ideas. For a pen, you say? I guess you want to wrap it in some gussied-up foil. But you're a machinist - could you machine a pen barrel that could withstand the anodizing? After testing the solution with some scrap first, of course. Of course I could machine it, but that’s not the look I want. Turned Pens come in kits; and you supply the blank. Usually this is a piece of wood with a brass tube stick through it, but anything that can have the right brass tube in it and be turned with hand tools will work. Like acrylic or epoxy. A common technique is to wrap the brass tube in some material, like a sticker or foil or anything really, and then cast it in acrylic or epoxy. Once it’s made round, the refraction of the epoxy makes it look like the foil or sticker is the full size of the turned blank. I’ve done a crinkled foil pen in the past, I was just thinking one with a fade would be cool. sidenote, I obtained some wood from the original 1965 Tardis, and plan on making a Tardis themed pen for my girl who is a huge Who fan. The wood will be incorporated into the pen body.
