    100% yes. Anything that was extremely organized and in sync, I was into. I was into the order of things, not the idea of things.

    Just have to throw that out there. I was never a Nazi.

    ^Thirding that sentiment. Even at my worst I wouldn't have called myself a fascist or a Nazi, but I was definitely attracted to the idea of 'the trains running on time' and for a while I even believed in the myth that Fascist Italy & Nazi Germany were super efficient. That, and their spiffy uniforms. Curse you Hugo Boss for giving the bad guys such awesome clothes!

    Yeah, the internet left mainly uses it to describe Marxist-Leninists as a whole. We've largely embraced it as a joke type thing, or a funny nickname to call each other (i.e. "my fellow tank commanders").

    Also, about people finding the uniforms cool - I recall the law of military effectiveness that the combat value of a unit is inversely proportionate to the quality of its uniforms.

    I'll 4th that, I was not into the whole Neo-Nazi sentiment. I was more for social order, essentially cutting out the inefficiency that spurs from overly liberal policy, as well as the military structure and order that can be achieved through maintaining discipline and control. Also i have to agree the uniforms were cool.
    There is a reason we have Nazi zombies, and not British Zombies.

    Hey Dave, did I get a steam invite from you?
    I got a steam invite from user named "Frederick", but the profile is private so I can't tell who it is.
    Celsius suggested it could be you, so if it's you just let me know.

    Can confirm that it's probably not Fred because he doesn't go by Frederick on Steam.

    CK2, Morrowind, Skyrim, EU4, Victoria 2, TW Attila, TW Shogun 2, Civ V, Dark Souls 2, Warthunder, Darkest Dungeon, M&B Warband, and sometimes Final Fantasy XIV.
    I have 101 games in my library, but I don't play most of them on a regular basis.

    Favorites lately have been Civ V, CK2, Morrowind, Oblivion. I don't generally have time to play video games anymore though.

    For me it's EU4, CK2, M&B, Civ 5, HOI Darkest Hour, Skyrim, and a lot of old CRPG's.

    Indeed, my steam is not Frederick. Right now it is FFaster McMasters.

    Also, lately I've been playing pretty much just War Thunder and Wargame: Red Dragon. I totally don't torrent most of my games, nosiree.

    I'm on spring break right now and since all of my friends have gone to their separate corners of the world for the next week I'm mostly just chilling here at home, reacquainting myself with Rome: Total War (the original, of course). If this game had CK2-level politics and empire-building I think that it would probably be the perfect game. As it stands now it focuses way too much on the war aspect, and the campaign-map AI is abysmally stupid.

    To clarify the above, it's not that I don't want to, it's more that I don't have the time/money.
