Do you have the Expanded Psionics Handbook as well?

I'm a vigilante, I have no qualm about being judge, jury and executioner. Thats not to say I'd get all Big Daddy and Hit Girl on every law breaker I came across, but if the situation warranted it I wouldn't shed a tear over using excessive force to minimize collateral damage. Call me a monster, I'm fine with that, the results are more important than the method.

There is much truth in that comic!

Quote:Y'know its been awhile since I've read it (probably well on 25 years), but I remeber a What-If; Captain America vs Conan the Barbarian - Long story short, Conan gets thrust into the modern world and starts a gang and robs museums. Cap has a confrontation with Conan and the barbarian bests Cap in combat.Originally Posted by Kitsune9tails
Captain America or Batman probably about the power level of an extremely high level fighter/thief.
If anybody has an idea of what Conan's fighting ability is at his peak then that would give a good estimate of how well Cap stacks up to say a D&D fighter. -
Quote:Ever check out the engine room on a well taken care of ship or yacht? They are not nearly as incongruous as the engineering on JJ's Enterprise and they are cleaner than you'd think.Originally Posted by Energor
ok this is going to sound waaay more A-hole then I mean it to be (which is zero) but have you ever opened the hood on your car? how does that look anything like the dashboard and seats inside the car?
seriously. it's all grease, oil, matte(sp) metal moving gears, belts,etc. while the dashboard is sleak, smooth, shiny with buttons and lights.
granted now cars engines are so compact that they look more like a box than all the parts of an engine from 20 years ago, so they do look sleaker and more like the inside but not enough really.
And speaking of sleek engineering, it all depends on the manufacturer. This is the engine compartment from a 2011 Mustang GT. While its clearly an IMO moment, this looks a helluva lot more integrated than the new Enterprise's engineering.

Quote:Agreed, it drove me crazy, I imagine thats what starship engineering would look like if Bender were chief architect for Starfleet. Y'know if engineering gets retcon'd into something more appropriate for the next movie I for one will not ***** at all!Originally Posted by Veritech
oh right, and no filming in the Enterprise's distillery. everytime they cut to engineering i was having Space Mutiny flashbacks.
Make it so!

Yeah, gonna need a server merge, starting with Pinnacle first
thats the lowest pop server according to some guy in the suggestion forum a long time ago making the bi-daily server merge suggestion.

Its not "ripped-off", its "homage"

I'd say look to a modern jet fighter, lots of different materials there, though mostly composites. For example, the F22 has an empty weight of around 43,500 pounds (although it is much larger). In any event, I'm sure there are official specs for the ship some place.

Quote:That shotgun is frigg'n awesome - imagine my delight when I found one in Modern Warfare II! During the regular game I didn't get much chance to use it, but on the museum level I tried to blow away everything that could die or breakOriginally Posted by Lazarus
And Terry Crews put it to much better effect in this movie than Brody did in Predators (where it pretty much killed nothing!) I was just waiting for him to show up with it and knew what was coming when the guys got pinned down in that dead end tunnel.

Quote:That BFG is probably the most awesome shotgun ever, an AA12 - I first saw it on future weapons and was like holy crap! IIRC on the show, they said it was capable of 300 rounds a minute - AA12 trivia: The Iraqi's were so scrared of the AA12, they tried to have it banned from use.Originally Posted by Furio
Statham got some really good scenes...but Crews and that BFG stole the show....i was wishing Lundgren got to say "I will break you" at some point, and that Crew would have said "EXPLOSION!"

My brother was heavy into SJ and I generally liked the setting but when it strayed to far into the fantastic I'd start lose interest.

Met my new new ex-wife, Giselle Itié! Thats all I got to say about that.
Well that and the movie was pure 80's action flick all the way through. I bet the entire script was written on five or six note cards. Still enjoyed it though. -
I have some old Realmspace stuff, and IIRC Toril's sun and the majority of the planets in its solar system are named. The moon is an easy one, Selune', and I think the asteriods trailing the moon (tears of Selune') might be named as well.
One of the tears is named in the Rock Braal (sp) due to a Spelljammer supplament.
And as far as I know, none of the D&D worlds were located in our Solar System and with the introduction of Spelljammer each world was more or less housed in its own pocket dimension since there were definite boundries - the crystal spheres which housed thier individual prime material plane -
Quote:Ah-ha, I see it must be the 60% original Warsteiner with a kick from 40% lemon. Perky fruity and refreshing, but essentially mildly tart and pleasantly light or maybe its the 0.0% alchohol without depriving yourself or maybe its the unique slightly tart taste that is pleasantly light thanks to using especially soft brewing water.Originally Posted by Eisregen_NA
You gotta be ******** me. Warsteiner is girl beer.
Y'know I'm not one to talk about another man's beer (seeing as how I'm a Corona Extra junkie) but I think your right

Bah, roasting garlic is for wimps! My favorite way to fix garlic is to mash it in a mortar until its a fine paste, sprinkle on some salt, add some lemon juice and pour in some olive oil. Then load it onto some chicken or fish or atop a nice fesh salad or along side some hummus... Gah I need to fire up the grill like yesterday!!!!

Quote:::Raises hand::Originally Posted by Nylonus
How many of us would have our "Heroes" play judge, jury and executioner to say someone like Dr. Vhaz? If given that moral choice on a ture hero would you "arrest" or "murder"? And yes i do mean murder, in the fact that your foe has given up and ready to surrender.
If the situation demands it, I'd break the law and murder a villian in cold blood. One could argue that it would make me no different from the vilian I just wasted, but I'd argue in a case like that the results far outweigh whatever legal code or process I would have been bound to (to put things generally) or maybe I've just watched 300 to damn many times

Quote:+1, a microwave is only useful blowing up frogs, otherwise they occasionally make do as popcorn poppers.Originally Posted by Eisregen_NA
Only that microwaves are both unhealthy and unsanitary, take up more space and expand vastly more power. I've got one. I use it to thaw frozen food or warm up leftovers. At how many watts and for how long do you need to run a microwave to actually get water to boil? And how do you get your container full of boiling water out of the microwave without oven mitts? It'll be almost as hot as the content. Meanwhile, the kettle comes with a handle that doesn't heat up.
Moreover, the only food you can actually prepare in it is pre-cooked. 90% of which is store-bought and usually indistinguishable in taste from its packaging. The other 10% having been made on a real stove and given to you by kind strangers. Or your mom.
As a child of who grew up in the miracle age of science (40s and 50s) my dad absolutely loves them, he'd be totally lost without his microwave. -
and I say kill group fly altogether and replace it with something equally useless but cool like a power called hypervelocity or something like that ::shrugs::

I think they're probably closing the sevrers down - without 11 million pre-orders, GR is an MMO failure before it's even launched.

Thats what it looks like, I tried to connect, did some stuff, rebooted and finally was able to see a big wall o' grey servers.
