I know what this is!

Thank you for making me smarter!

I love when I know things because I play video games. It makes it seem so much more worth it.

What? If you are talking about Jakarta, then this is another example of there being a world outside North America, Jesus!

Hey we all have random gaps in our knowledge, just things we didn't encounter yet. I learned quite a bit from Civ3 to be honest. Still the scenarios and civilipedia in 5 aren't as good.

I guess he meant Krakatoa .
But yeah, it's nice to see that you can benefit from computer games .

Seriously? That was on my itinerary for this year until I lost holiday time due to switching jobs.

And yes, I had thought of captioning the photo "I have discovered a natural wonder. I have discovered Krakatoa"...

Krakatoa: you become instantly happy upon viewing it close up, then -2 happiness when it inevitable explodes

interesting link. "child of Krakatoa" set to erupt. Krakatoa ... birthing bastards with temper tantrums since 1930, haha.

30% of my vocabulary came from playing D&D in high school. Video games helped a small amount since then. Why, yes, i was a power-nerd. Still am in some circles ...
