On This Day... |
 1941The battle cruiser Scharnhorst is hit five times by bombs from a force of 15 Halifax bombers while lying in the port of La Pallice. The repairs required will not be complete until 1942. Since Prinz Eugen has been hit earlier in the month and Gneisenau is under repair, this means that none of the German heavy ships in and around Brest are fit for operations in the near future. [Battle cruiser Scharnhorst firing 283 mm guns] 1943Operation Gomorrah takes place when 746 RAF bombers drop 2,300 tons of bombs on Hamburg in 48 minutes, during which only 12 aircraft are lost. This tonnage is as much as Germans dropped in the five heaviest raids on London. Fires were visible for 200 miles. This is the first operational use of "Window", (radar-jamming foil strips dropped by aircraft). It was at the time the heaviest assault in the history of aerial warfare and was later called the Hiroshima of Germany by British officials. [A Lancaster bombing Hamburg] |
What are you doing now?????? |
 So a lot of people have moved on to other things since the Buckets server going offline. Some even still play online together and have kept the gaming friendships going.I tried BF4 and lasted all of 45 minutes of online game play before I uninstalled in disgust.. Sorry Drake and Soonie but I just could not play that drivel... World of Tanks and War Thunder have held my interest for some time but the gaming became stale and boring and the usual crowd of griefers and punks just ruin the game with running the mouths and being on Roads lawn... So I find myself wondering what is new, what is going to be the next biggest thing... for me there are two possible bright spots coming and I backed them through kickstarter... they have online elements and multiplayer but they are both Space sims... games I would lock myself away and spend hours playing in my youth.... Elite Dangerous (coming this year hopefully) link Star Citizen (2015 to 2016 if it ever gets made) link So what games are coming that are exciting you? |

ET Server Closing |
 The server will be closing in the next few days, and I wanted to thank everyone who stopped by the server. While I can't say that there wasn't some disappointment with the turnout, the fact that we did have Bucketeers show up was appreciated by the people that put this together.It was great to see some old names and to play a game that we all enjoyed. The server may be shutting down, but the community isn't dead, so please don't hesitate to post on the messageboard and to join the Chicken Bucket Steam Group to catch up with and see what games everyone else has been playing. Thanks!
