So, do you play Silk Worm as heli? I've always enjoyed it more with the jeep. And it's more like a run & gun that way to me, that's why I didn't mention it. Great and awesome game.

Yeah, it's fun to play with the jeep in Silk Worm...it changes the gameplay dramatically. Trying to save your ass from scatterfire in the rear. ^_~

Really, it's not "tayt"? Heard that in a game somewhere (there it was used to mean "get up/stand up"), got confused.

i laugh at anyone who insists rotate isn't a proper alternate meaning to "tate"

It's just a coincidence that their word for vertical sounds like the last part of our word for rotate. But laugh away if you must.

So we pronounce rotate "ro-tah-tay", is what you're saying?
