[Game] Darkwatch - play as a vampire gunslinger hunting down other monsters ( lemmy.zip )

I'm going to kick-start this community with my favorite Weird West work. Darkwatch had everything I wanted from a Weird Western: a vampire gunslinger shooting monsters at night. Sure, the gameplay could've been better (a lot better) but the world-building was so fun I loved it anyway....

Still love this game. I fire it up on my ps2 emulator every once in a while. Still have a working ps2, but I can crank up the graphics/resolution on the emulator so that it looks better than the original experience. It is pretty dated now and had some silly stuff (like ghost Cassidy as a guide) , but I really enjoyed the core gameplay mechanics and setting.

Haven't looked at them in ages but I also have the Art of Darkwatch book and a copy of Heavy Metal magazine that covers the game. There were some cool weird west levels in Red Dead Revolver too.

A couple of Mexican lobby cards from '50s scifi movies, couple of vision boards with a bunch of kid art from my son along with the vision board stuff, pictures of the wife and son, and a painting my wife made for me of my dog, Telstar - who passed a couple of years back.

Beautiful animal! Where was this photo taken?

How do you address a letter to an army soldier or even a navy sailor on a ship?

I was watching Band of Brother and wondering how those paratroopers got letters from home. Did their family need to know their nearest base? Or could they simply write their name and battallion? If I want to mail a package to a sailor do I just the ship's name? Or a port? I'm not actually mailing anything I'm just curious how...

Should be able to send to the service member's unit at FPO or APO depending on if they're in the army, navy, etc. This page https://www.usps.com/ship/apo-fpo-dpo.htm has more info.

You can absolutely receive mail and packages when deployed in the military, even during wartime. When I was in the USMC, getting mail while out in the field was a bit of a psychological life line.
