    Prague advice

    Prague 3 is a former working class district, it's getting rehabilitated but some of the sights may not be too good. It's not too far from the historical center and doesn't have the backdraws the hotels in Prague 1 have (cheaper, less people roaming around the hotel, less noise). The historical center can be easily accessable from the 3rd district by foot if you have good walking shoes, but I think you could try to use the public transportation the Prague tramway has its charm I think. Look into Prague 2, it may be a bit less cheaper than Prague 3, but it's closer to the historical center and has a few good places too

    Have you ever tried quitting smoking/alcohol?

    I've never really smoked (just the casual cigarette, when I was offered to smoke). Thr real problem is alcohol ... I have never tried to quit drinking and I doubt I ever will My alcohol consumption varied from a period to the other in my life but it never caused any real problem and I could, if needed, stop drinking for some time. I've never developped any kind of dependancy to alcohol and nicotine or any other drug for that matter ... except maybe cafeine. It's just a matter of being reasonable and avoiding abuses

    Building a small studio

    When it comes to thethings i've done in the past with my old friends : I seriously doubt that the mindless rants about the system formulated 20years ago by a bunch of drunk late teenagers with a mohawk on their head will attract the interest of anybody But yeah, it's a great idea.

    Building a small studio

    Yup, expecially if you have non-structured walls it does wonders....of course foam coating is better but those things are really expensive well, I remember we would just go to a squatt and see if there are still isolating material in the walls .... if there was still some foam or glass wool and the likes. Now, this wasn't all that legit .. but hell ...

    Building a small studio

    here's a little drawing for you to understand : son incident : the original sound son réfléchi : reflected sound (reverberation) son traversant/oscillatio, : that's the sound which goes through the wall or at least the vibrations the original sound causes transmis par le mur : transmitted by the wall the green and yellow are the sound proofing materials (foam) The 1rst picture represents a non-soundproof structure, the second is "soundproof". Add to the second the egg palettes, glued onto the isolating material and the "reverb" (son réfléchis, echo) will be diminished.

    Building a small studio

    Nah, reverberation prevention and soundproofing aren't the same thing. Reverberation is ... well, for exemple, you're in a church, try to shout to see what happens .... (I'm not talking about the part were a man with funny clothes will gently ask you to leave ). For the sound proofing, we'd generally cover the walls with foam.

    Building a small studio

    Ahahahahahahah ... egg palettes ... souvenirs souvenirs .... I helped quite a few friends of mine to install those on their walls back in the French punk revival era 15 years ago As Bals said, they're the most cost efficient solution to reduce reverberation.

    who's this Connard ? I experienced an intense feeling of pity when I saw his face and what was written about him. Someone should tell him to wake up and test a few more things esp. Resistance and 3rd party addons... well, maybe his employer forbids him to do so ...

    Generic OPFOR

    I'd like something like a regular low-tech army which aren't country-specific, especially with the ERDL camo (which IIRC has ever been done in OFP), it could make some good European and South American (even maybe Asian) OPFOR. A generic "Paramilitary/Terrorists/Mercenaries/Guerrillas" would be nice too, with mixed items as uniforms (a bit like with Edge's resistance), but adapted to various climates. And I may suggest that the paramilitary guys only get OD fatigues. The middle Eastern Resistance has been done on several occasions in OFP, but never in a satisfactory way. As Lenin said, what we need is something in the taste of the VBS mid-east OPFOR, but we'd also need some well equipped guys a bit like the PLO paramilitaries and terrorist organisations. The choice is hard

    Want to shoot yourself up with a Kalashnikov?

    This is what the google web translator came up with for the french word "cannelle" This is reduced into powder and then used in various recipes as a spice. Got it ! it's called cinnamon in english.

    Want to shoot yourself up with a Kalashnikov?

    Just remembered about a "cocktail" called Kalashnikov and it involves Vodka and Absynth. You cut a slice of lemon, powder it with sugar, pour a few drops of absinth on it and flame it after having picked it with a fork (you wouldn't want to burn your little fingers). You powder the lemon slice with grouve while it's flaming and then you wait till the flame dies out by itself. Drink a shot of vodka and eat the lemon slice immediatly after.
