    Next best thing to being able to somehow squeeze some of the Hornblower series into a single movie. 113 minutes, engrossing, a nice bite of historical flavor.


    Edit: oops, looks like 138 minutes, a shame, its a really really good pick.
    Both good choices!
  2. See Doc, thats where you fail to understand the grave threat a super rich ninja with thier very own jet plane represents!

    Clearly Steve Jobs-American Ninja! would stealthily pilot his plane right underneath his intended target slice a hole in the fuselage and infiltrate said plane. A few seconds later and the entire world would be bowing to the demands of Steve Jobs-American Ninja!

    I think we should all be thanking Japan right now, had it been europe or the americas or any place other than Japan, we'd all be up poo creek without a paddle.

    So you too can say; "Opulence, I has it"!

  5. Builder's tea? Literally a reference to tea made on a jobsite with components at hand (untreated water, a steel hardhat and an acetylene torch to heat it with)?
  6. Not that I didn't expect it to be a mob movie with DiNero and Pesci, but yeah can't wait to see this one. I love the genre!

    Speakng of making a choice, one day my Shep is gonna have to answer to the Illusive Man for all his decidedly anti-cerberus choices. That'd be cool DLC and would be doubly so if it could alter Shep's status to a rogue operative in the 3rd game.
  8. Yeah, boy... well at least my card loving nephews will dig the game. It would have been nice for an optional system (daygonit Hasbro, why must you be in it to sell games! ), perhaps there is a work around. I'll still get game all the same.

    On another note, at least its not the Ravenloft BOARD GAME!

    Agreed on both counts.

  12. Anybody complete the latest ME2 DLC?

    I finished it yesterday and liked it, perhaps my favorite part were the extended dossiers and vid feeds.

    Out of the dossiers Legion is my fav, his conversation with EDI and his MMO experience. Fun stuff.

    It already has, Skynet is just letting us work out the tech for it.

    I really enjoyed it, it reminded of the fun I use to have back in 2nd. I liked it so much, I went out bought 8 books & G.M. for first time in 4yrs. So, 4th may have its haters or folks who like it, but to me it brought back some fun, thats really all that matters in the end.

    Having Fun

    Did you cut your teeth on 2nd ED? It seems to me alot of people who started playing in 2nd Ed really liked 4th. Its a pretty cool system, but 4th ED feels so cookie cutter to me when it comes to the way the various classes are played (thats what made 3.xx so endearing to me - practically unlimited options for character development - headache for the GM I know, but I liked developing PCs as much as actualy playing the game). Admittedly thats pretty much just for D&D outside of that I think GW will work pretty good with it , or at least I dont have any preconceptions about what game system should be used to implement the game.

    Heh, Arthur C. Clarke was right!

I would also suspect that the bat and the chest area is lined with ceramic plating as that is where it would do the most good and have the least impact on the suit.
    You dont even need lead for a rad resistant suit, there are several commercially available suits now that employ proprietary radiopaque polymers that do a good job of shielding the occupant. There is even a company that has developed an aerogel like material that is capable of blocking as much as 3,000 deg. F and only about a 1/4" thick and unlike pure areogel, very tough.

    I'm always looking for neat real world materials to update WarMain's (shameless plug) armor that could be used to explain some of the bat suit's capabilties.
  17. Going about this completely the wrong way, all Canada has to do is hire a bunch of pissed off 65-70 year old ex-military guys to hand out tickets. They'd do it for free.

    I think my old man gets out of the house and drives down the road just to catalog any infraction of the law (however slight) he can see while saying "all they have to do is give me a ticket book and I'd have these bastards shaped up in no time".

    The Bat-suit...

    I bet his suit makes use of dilatant material as well as some crazy composites. As for the mechanics of the suit, meh, its a comic so it doesn't have to adhere to real world principles.

    That's like Iron man's palm repulsors, how the hell do you really get something with that much destructive power into a a space a few millimeters thick. I know when I did a tech spec page on my power armor guy, the gauntlets featured waldos so that his hands were better protected even though the energy projectors are above the hands.

  21. Indeed, a real man if ever there was one!

    And I sincerely hope (no I pray for it actually) those douchebags get a very lengthy sentence with no possibility of parole (as in prosecuted to the full extent of the law).

    Jordyn Weichert and front passenger, Samantha Bowling - go the f'ing hell you sorry *** bastards for driving under the influence of a narcotic!
  22. Speaking of which, how bad *** would it be if somebody did a GW mod using the current Fallout Game - I'd pay real money for it!!! (no seriously)
