I think that might be a reality of a universe that is only seen through film, though; they don't have the luxury of being able to do quiet, introspective episodes of puttering through space. Pacing, especially action movie pacing, has it's demands. I gotta echo the love for the warp chase scene. I w...

Plates made of Reverse Cavorite.

That was not a debate. That was a grown man beating a baby seal with a tire iron for ninety minutes. I'm surprised Ryan could still walk once it was over.

So, of course, the news will "forget" about it by Saturday...

I've been writing my own D6-based "abstracted simulationist" system for a pulpy detective setting of my own devising over the past few months, which I think could probably be massaged into an Orion's Arm game. The reason I think so is that my game is a low-number game which has built into ...

Orion's Arm would be best as the setting for a pen-and-paper RPG, with clades, provolves, vecs and alifes as races at character creation and the GM playing the local AI god in addition to his normal duties. Smaller scale villains of myth and legends work very well as RPG baddies; the party are low-l...

The Stainless Steel Rat Gets Drafted is the first 20th century sci-fi lit I ever read. I think I was 9 or 10. Damn shame.

I've played a lot of Just Cause 2 with a mod that makes my grappling gun go out to about 2 kilometers. I've collected enough health packs to jump off a few of the skyscrapers and survive the fall. I could be godlike, but I guess I will just settle for ability to generate infinite 100% reliable parac...

Okay. Fuck it. Robocop does not need a fucking remake. Normally I am totally cool with remakes and updates when they bring a fresh angle to the material. But Robocop is not only relatively recent, but it holds up. If you touched up the effects you could release that shit today and it'd still have a ...

Oh I did not know that. I thought most professional voice actors have more range ? I guess the likes of Jennifer Hale and Billy West have spoiled me. :) Some voice actors have range in terms of sound, some have range in terms of their ability to imitate, some have ranges in accents, and some simply...

Homestuck fanart counts, right?

I wanted to do something with colours because all greyscale all the time was wearing me down.

Seriously? So apparently taking action against the encroaching influence of white beauty standards on other cultures is now "racism"?

Yeah, I'm garbage at perspective. I'm not giving up on it; I ordered a couple of books last night and I'm basically going to put nose to grindstone about it, but it has never come easy to me, so digital mockup is something I thought of early on. I did these concepts about a week ago using a clay ren...

I feel like I'm getting somewhere with this!

Yeah, I kinda do a Red Alert 3 mod.

Also, the paintings continue...

I have a goal. The goal is to be really good at digital painting. Here's where I am now. I did these in the last two days. http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2012/131/b/a/myeche_concept_by_open_sketchbook-d4zbaoe.jpg http://th00.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/i/2012/131/f/b/spec_ops_soldier_by_open_sketchbo...

This episode succeeded fantastically at making me yell at the characters for being idiots.

So, I went to the midnight showing, but immediately after Thor hit Iron Man with his hammer, the power went out.

I liked the first half though!

Regarding the more widespread metalbending/lightningbending, it may simply be the case that training has gotten a lot better in the last 100 years. When Aang was running around, the world was at war, resources were being rationed, and bending secrets were being horded for the combat advantage they p...

I dunno, Promstuck is pretty hilarious fun. Give it a shot.

Holy shit dudes, what a twist. We're going to get some weird troll fusionsprites!

He has an odd number of bodies. Though odds are we get a Feferi/Eridan sprite, it'd be funny if Eridan ends up forever alone, even in death.

Last I remember it's something like 8% of men. And yes, this is totally that sort of thing. Both the average person and the criminals are thinking of the "violent psycho serial killer" when they answer this question. It's sad and ironic the low end of the criminal guesses are closer to the...

The problem about rape culture is less that it makes good men rape women (or other men), but that it hides the actual rapists and encourages them. Ever heard someone joking about rape - in person, on the web, on television? Yeah, that's part of rape culture - and it tells the rapists that they are ...

He should wait a week to update, just for the lulz.

The current goings-on are really interesting. We sort of assumed that the Pre-Alternia trolls were pacifistic or something, but it looks like that's an oversimplification.

Um, presumably, zero Celsius, if you threw some water on there. Well, I guess you'd have to negate the engine heat, and you'd want it to freeze fast, but it's not just temperature that's important; you need some water to chuck on there as well.
