School's been ramping up lately, and Sunday is now my only day off, as I do need some income somewhere along the line. Just haven't wanted to spend my now quite limited time doing this at the moment. As for sims of choice, still IL2 and DCS. I don't fly CLOD or the other much at all, even offline.

Every once in a while, you get one of those absolute show stopper personalities. One of these types was a guy called "Hoser". His real name is Joe Satrapa, and he's a real character.
