Re: 299 Days, anyone read it? Thoughts?

I get you now, I thought you meant it espouses the virtues of communism. Yeah it's a tough read at times due to plain bad writing, I think what I found interesting was the portrayal of a gradual and partial economic collapse rather than Russians teaming up with aliens to produce 10ft mega zombies hu...

I think you're right that the authors viewpoint is very skewed, I wouldn't necessarily brand it hardcore right-wing, but then the way he talks a...

Re: My new BOV

Sounds ideal mate, I look forward to seeing how your project progresses. Do you plan to change the appearance at all?
