Hey GlennH,

Checked out your Flickr link; wow!!  what a great collection of Vietnam photographs.  Were you by any chance assigned to the 320th Field Artillery with the 101st Airborne?  Saw the 'Screaming Eagles' patch and had to ask!  Thanks for sharing the link!!

Fortnite is an online first-person shooter game that is very popular with adolescent boys mostly....I've never played it, but apparently, you parachute or paraglide into an island war zone.  you start off unarmed, or you may have a pickaxe.  You 'upgrade' your kit by killing or maiming other players and taking their gear from them.  The game also has a "pay to play" mode in which you can purchase upgraded weapons, uniforms, character traits, etc.  You can also purchase slick dance moves to perform after your victories..... 

Hmmm, that seems kind of tasteless.  I seem to recall General Patton having said "You don't win battles by dying for your country.  You win by making some other poor son of a XXXXX die for his country" but I don't recall him having said anything about "doing a cool dance move afterwards."

Mostly this, but it's actually a third person shooter. No one can really explain it's popularity- excellent marketing and Youtuber influence, I assume. I'm a Zoomer myself and I've never gotten into it. It's focused more heavily on younger boys- that's where the kinda cartoony style and insane weapons and AIDS dances come from. It's basically just a rip-off of older, better, and more realistic Battle Royale games like PubG.

I'm sure I have a couple kits to donate.

What a great idea. I would also post this in the general modeling discussion forum to see if you can get more traffic.

Great idea you have sorry I have no stash, but I am curious to know, what in the world this "Fortnite" thing is that people apparently are addicted to.

Hi,

I culled my stach awhile ago, but I'll take a look to see if I have anything I can send along.
