Yeah, USAToday has some of the absolute worst trolls. They will find a way to link anything to either the Republicans or Dems in a negative way, regardless of what the article may be about.

I don't think the question should be if alien races exist, but if they have the technology to come here.

They did such great work on this map. I really wish it had been duplicated as a Halloween zone, like the ski chalet. Then we could all wander around it at our leisure, chat with the NPCs, and generally have fun with it. It's far too fabulous to be locked behind a mission.

the new B&B seemed kinda weak to me but I'll keep on watching to see how things progress. On another note, Butthead sounded like Butthead but Beavis seemed a little off with his voice.

From this site, The subscription rate should be about $18 to have the same value as in 2004.
Note, I am not saying that we do get less for our money, just pointing out why we should get less for our money. the fact we don't is great :-)
Was cool for an interesting comparison, for what I paid for my car in 2009 I could have bought a 427 Shelby Cobra brand new in 1964 or 65
and had I the foresight to hold on to it, I could have went to the Stoned & Drunk car auction (aka Barret Jackson) and probably sold the car for a nice six or seven digit price tag.

Nope. But I am from an age when the Man Show was popular,a time political correctness was not even thought of, that action movies were geared for just action did not have love interests in them, where actors like Burt Reynolds and others loved fast cars and faster women.
I miss the 70's and 80's.

Sorry for me the only Three Musketeers movie that mattered was the 1973 version with Raquel Welsh and Michael York.

What happens if the cool future is a post apocolyptic world where machines are hell bent on exterminating all life and you happen to be a human traitor that has decided the machines are right.

Quote:Indeed, just look at genetically engineered animals today, they are property. Its not much of a stretch to imagine in the near future that **** labori (or whatever you want to call manufactured **** sapiens and thier derivatives) would be considered the same and outside the bounds of what we consider human rights.Originally Posted by Forbin_Project
Actually one of the things I was thinking was if we actually succeed at developing genetic manipulation on the level the OP is talking about how long would it be before the Japanese started selling real live Cat-Girls as pet/playmates. Genetically bred to be obedient, submissive, low intelligence, and an overclocked libido. And since they aren't human they wouldn't have human rights.
Or take a page out of Heinlein's book Friday, where AP's (Artificial People) are second class citizens that can be bought and sold, but have no rights because they weren't born of a human mother.
Another example of that would be the show Space Above and Beyond where Tanks (test tube babies) were mass produced and treated as less than human.
Genetics could allow us to rise so very high, yet at the same time we could fall to our worst levels imaginable.
I knew a guy who worked at Smithfield packing and the things he and his crew did to pigs was enough to make you swear off meat just to make sure you wouldn't burn in hell. I could jsut imagine clones or lab bred humans used for medical experiments or organ harvesting and what thier handlers would do to them. -
Good stuff.

We are also concerned about who watches the people making the decisions on what is a defect that needs to be changed, and where does it stop? A far greater evil can be perpetrated from the noblest of intentions.

Nope, I'd just tell them I'm an agent of change
@ LegionAlpha; that reminds me of the Iron Man 2020 storyline. Arno Stark has to stop a terrorist in his time only to travel into the past and create that very same terrorist. -

Interesting, I wonder how 4th Ed fans will feel about this?
I know its all about selling the books but it seems like they are really fracturing the player base. You'vefour editions and probably three very vocal groups of players (2nd ed, 3rd ed, 4th ed) -

Quote:I can see Tony's ego getting in the way, in the trailer he even say's he doesn't play well with others, now to address with the other points quoted below. the liability of Tony just being joe average when it comes to combat capabilityOriginally Posted by CaptainFoamerang
The reason I think his assessment has elements of the latter is because in the trailer you can see Loki catching Tony outside of his suit and chucking him out of a window. Also, I have a suspicion that if there's a team training sequence Tony may blow it off in the manner Batman did in JLU.

Capt is super serious and rather conservative, of course he is going to be rubbed up the wrong why by Tony Stark. This is all good imo
Tony is for lack of a better descrition, essentially a cripple with a helluva prosthetic device. No matter how well you train Tony to defend his self, that portable arc reactor in his chest is a HUGE liability. Tony could be the MMA wotld wide champ and all you'd have to do is rip his arc reactor right out and he's down for the count.Quote:Originally Posted by Jetpack
And Cap probably does want Stark to learn how to protect himself without the suit. It's standard procedure for Cap to recognize at some point the super powered people, for whatever reason, will need to defeat an enemy without their powers (the suit in this case).
That aside, I'm in agreement with the writitng and the tension its creating and how they are going to have some bumps along the way to forging the Avengers I wouldn't expect anything less.

Quote:I think its all about the former and not the latter. If cap is getting his knickers in a twist about Tony not having any real combat ability outside his suit, he's a ding-dong.Originally Posted by CaptainFoamerang
Cap getting in Iron Man's face may appear to be conflict within the team for its own sake, but I have a feeling it's part of Cap trying to get them to work as a unit and perhaps criticizing Tony for his lack of fighting ability outside the suit.

While this is neither here nor there as it pertains to the thread, Chrysler's troubles did not begin unitl its take over by Diamler who thourghly ***** its cash reserves. Which Diamler used to pay out fat bonuses and develop the Smart Car. Then did an excellent job of mismanaging the brand as well as letting it collect dust. Then having all but ruined Chrysler, Diamler sold what was left to Cereberus Capital Management who proved even more inept at managing Chrysler. Diamler and Cereberus both managed to take what was once arguably the most successful american automobile company at the time and turn it into a steaming pile of crap allowing Fiat to pick over what was left.
