Give us a choice of like six hundred colors and that's that. I beg of you.

FTFY, mweeheehee.

Seriously though, RGB values ftw. It's nice to just fiddle randomly and take what whimsy gives you.

+1. It's 2012, limited color palettes are so last decade.

That didn't take very long. I assumed that the play was longer than that.

So what exactly would that compact do? From a brief glance-over, it seems like it would do away with the electoral college and make the presidential election a pure popular vote. Is that the gist of it?

Great news!

The 13 colonies disagree. I don't see much of a problem with letting Puerto Rico in.

That is just typical Liberal revision of historical fact. You people do this all of the time.

Oh geez, Conservapedia. Is Andy still doing his conservative Bible "translation"?

Of course, this destroys any "tradition" arguments about not allowing a 51st state into the union.

That will not stop anyone from using one, though.

It is moot, however, as no one likes odd numbers. Sorry, Puerto Rico, request denied.

Wait, are there any national monuments or parks in Arizona? If so, is it possible to remove them before they secede?

I have a couple of old games in mind. First up is:

Ok, ignore the Duke-Nukem-esque box art. Actual gameplay revolved around you, the titular Druid, as you attempted to figure out what sort of magical land you found yourself trapped in. It was a mix of point-and-click adventure, puzzle solving, and surprisingly decent combat (you clicked on a part of your enemy to attack that part, and clicked on a part of yourself to defend that area). There was also a magic system in which you combined the four elements (and two semi-secret elements) for different effects. I only played it when I was much younger and no longer have the disk (I can't even remember if it was a floppy or a CD),but I remember that the storyline was serious and there were a lot of characters to interact with.

Second game is:

Part of the Wing Commander series (which I never played, sadly), this had you exploring a fairly large sector of space as you traded, fought pirates, became a pirate, whatever. There was also a storyline to follow, and the 3D modeling was actually pretty good for the time. It was basically a flight sim with lasers and jump drives. It had really kick-ass music.
