A great traveling site and a real community, with ideals like generosity and trustworthiness. This is the type of social web that I can get with. Try asking your myspace friends if you can stay with them for a few days.

The kill bonuses, oh, the kill bonuses. The stealth bomber. The harrier. The sentry gun.
