Only 6 days left to back this! If you don't know, this will be a desktop version of the iPad game that is based on the boardgame Carrier. It looks fantastic and I really hope it succeeds.

Your unseemly enthusiasm has persuaded me to pledge.

I actually don't really like games.

I'd say we're even. I ended up buying John Tiller's Seven Years War this afternoon.  :D

It may be that we're codependent.

To be blown up on the tarmac? Or be swatted from the skies like little, fat bugs?

Being able to Google shit better than your clients is a legit career skill.

It was a short line from the much maligned Buffaloes to the mighty Wildcats, who ensnared so, so  many Zeros in the deadly Thatch Weave.

The Buffalo was actually the USN's first choice for a monoplane fighter over the early model Wildcats. It was a much more maneuverable aircraft, but the Wildcat had greater potential for improvement. Once they started adding equipment and armor to the Buffalo, it couldn't keep pace with the Wildcat.
