FogBat Posted June 21, 2012 Report Posted June 21, 2012 Does it get any more self-righteous then the opening of that post? It's usually better if you don't slap people in the face immediately before making your post. It was not meant to come across as self-righteous, but I do apologize for having offended you that way. It probably would have come off better had I dropped the first half of that sentence. Quote

Sabres Fan in NS Posted June 22, 2012 Report Posted June 22, 2012 Seriously: This is F'N Awesome. The first one was Brilliant, this one looks just as good if not better! The most awesome thing about it ... ... it's set in Istanbul ... Quote
darksabre Posted June 22, 2012 Report Posted June 22, 2012 The most awesome thing about it ... ... it's set in Istanbul ... Not Constantinople? Quote
Sabres Fan in NS Posted June 22, 2012 Report Posted June 22, 2012 The most awesome thing about it ... ... it's set in Istanbul ... Not Constantinople? Nope! Not for some time, now! ... :P . Quote
FogBat Posted June 22, 2012 Report Posted June 22, 2012 (edited) Nope! Not for some time, now! ... :P . Not since 1453. Having said that, I'm not sure if you've read this man's novels. I haven't read them, but I thought that you might be interested in them - given when and where they're set. Once I posted it I thought oh crap now I'm being a dick. There's always the edit feature tab... :) Edited June 22, 2012 by Crosschecking Quote
MattPie Posted June 22, 2012 Report Posted June 22, 2012 Not Constantinople? You know, even old New York was once New Amsterdam. Quote
darksabre Posted June 22, 2012 Report Posted June 22, 2012 You know, even old New York was once New Amsterdam. I guess people just liked it better that way. Quote
frissonic Posted June 22, 2012 Report Posted June 22, 2012 photoshop. when i can take a hodgepodge of pics and pop them in to PS for a panoramic merge, and it comes out looking like it was one pic, that's awesome. Quote
Sabres Fan in NS Posted June 22, 2012 Report Posted June 22, 2012 (edited) You know, even old New York was once New Amsterdam. Actually, if I am not mistaken, the Dutch "purchased" (from the Seneca "Indians" ... I don't like that term ----- First Nations) the area that is now Buffalo, NY around 1800. Someone started calling it New Amsterdam, but it seems like he was the only person to do so and the name didn't stick. Not since 1453. Having said that, I'm not sure if you've read this man's novels. I haven't read them, but I thought that you might be interested in them - given when and where they're set. Thanks for the heads-up. I have heard of him and his treck, but have not read any of his books. FYI ... Istanbul is one of my favourite cities. haha I would love to see a modern take on Buck Rogers. I'd prefer a modern remake of Duck Dodgers ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duck_Dodgers Edited June 22, 2012 by Sabres Fan In NS Quote

Someone started calling it New Amsterdam, but it seems like he was the only person to do so and the name didn't stick. Looks like you're mostly correct on both parts, the purchase is kind of correct: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holland_Land_Company And the name appears to be correct: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo,_New_York I knew about the land company part, but I never caught the name. I guess the Dutch are lucky we let them keep Amsterdam, NY as-is. Quote

Captain Caveman Posted June 27, 2012 Report Posted June 27, 2012 What, no Rob Schneider? you beat me to it. i think he's probably in there somewhere tho'. Quote
darksabre Posted June 28, 2012 Report Posted June 28, 2012 My power has been out all morning. At first I wanted to complain, but then decided it's actually very pleasant. Sittin out on the deck in the cool air makin toast and beans with the gas grill. Not an air conditioner in the whole complex is running. Nice and quiet. Although I'm sure as soon as I post this it'll come back on. But it sure will be nice while it lasts. Awesome. Quote
