Landing in top gun is actually really easy, the thing most people don't realize is that you have to hold and release the button to speed up and keep your speed around 250 mph. It'll tell you to speed up if you're too slow and it'll tell you to slow down if you're too fast, so you sorta have to pulse-width-modulate your speed in between. The up/down/left/right instructions are pretty self explanatory, but on top of the directions you really just have to point at the aircraft carrier deck. Just like a real plane. Except way easier. Disclaimer: I can land a real plane, but that aside I still don't think its that hard to land in top gun. Its just not clear on what you're supposed to be doing to succesfully land.

All US Golfs going back to MK5 were built in Wolfsburg, so if you get a new Golf TDI 100% of them are German built. My MK4 Golf was built in Brazil, and MK4/MK5 Jettas for the US were mostly built in Mexico. At any rate, if you're not sure where a VW is built, just look at the first letter in the VIN... W = Germany, 3 = Mexico.

I just got a new galaxy nexus and posted about how great it was on facebook. My aunt, who currently has an iphone 3GS, commented asking if she should get one too. I said stick with the iphone. She's horrible with technology and, just like you said, the reasons I like the android phone would be the reasons she hated it.

I wonder if the resolution will go up too, or if the DPI will go down?

And I am that tall guy that still lives with my mom! VICTORY!

My last airplane flight left on time and landed on time. I was the one flying it.

The one with the squirrels and mars (but incidentally no squirrles ON mars) is Zak McKracken. I love that game and like nobody knows about it.

Cartoony, Hilarious, and not impossibly difficult. And easy to acquire. A spectacular game all around and you can run it right in scummvm.

Really I recommend all of their games, but I'd suggest that as a best "first" game. Monkey Island 2 is my actual favorite scumm game, but its SUPER hard so not really a good "first" game.

Of course, achieving a 15:1 glide ratio requires you to be at the appropriate airspeed to do that... and since the main problem was loss of airspeed indicator, they were falling, not gliding.
