I have some bad news.

Nuclear weapons silos are clustered close together for protection against first strikes.  Counter-intuitive, I know, but supposedly after the first detonation the air would be so thick with dust that the second strike missiles wouldn't be able to accurately target the surviving silos.  So this silo better not have any active ones left near it or you are just as screwed as ever.  :pray:

If you really want to survive World War III head to the southern hemisphere.  New Zealand is the best candidate, but Australia and Brazil are good choices too.  Of course, the best way to survive global thermonuclear war is not to play thermonuclear war.  Well, that or a special moon laser battle station.

Yeah, these are neat. I found a website of some real estate agency in Kansas that was selling some. Like this one, the prices were ridiculous.

also, having your home look like a missile silo is probably not conducive to your surviving nuclear war.

That's what I have in mind.

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

This thing again? This is as old as time itself. It's legit and very cool, but no one will be able to buy it. It'd make a hella cool skate park by day and rave scene by night though.  :dance:

I don't think he's really selling it on Ebay

More like advertising it on Ebay, you still have to probably go through a professional broker of some sort for the paperwork at least

Mr. Pants speaks the truth.


Also, I bet taxes would be a BITCH with this thing.
