On This Day... |
 1943Operation Tidal Wave was an aerial bombardment operation by a composite strike force of five bomb groups from the United States Eighth and Ninth Air Forces to destroy the oil refineries at Ploieşti, Romania. Ploesti was the main source of oil for Nazi Germany's war effort during World War II, when Romania was Germany's ally. The attack involved a total commitment of 178 B-24 Liberator heavy bombers on a 2,400-mile round trip flight to conduct low-level attack on the refineries. All aircraft were based near Benghazi, Libya. 50 bombers were lost in the attack. [Bombing Romanian oil fields] [Low flying bomber over burning refinery] 1944U.S. Marines complete the capture of Tinian Island (Marianas), losing 389 killed with losses of 9,000 Japanese. The island was later transformed into the busiest airbase of the war and was the launching point for the bombers that dropped the atomic bombs on Japan a year later. [Marines on Tinian Island] |
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!
