Re: The Capital Wasteland Enclave vs the Federation

Pretty good considering they've got a transporter.

If Raven Rock is transporter resistant (radiation, mineral of the week etc...), then the away team is probably boned unless there is some other treknobabble solution handy. The only thing Trek really has in this scenario is space superiority.

Re: Darth Bane: Dynasty of Evil SPOILERS

I was surprised that Set survived, but not that he didn't become a Sith. The story makes it clear that Set would be a terrible Sith Lord because of his self-centered tendencies, plus Cognus' first apprentice was Darth Millennial, who from his physical appearance is clearly not Set Harth.

Re: Limbaugh continues blatant racism. Insults Asians.

Wait a second.
Zeond's article wrote: Limbaugh complained on his show about a Fox News broadcast that omitted translation of Hu’s words and spent 18 seconds speaking gibberish Chinese, mocking the language.
Bolding mine.

Does this mean that translations were available on the other networks?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't that covered already. Some Vulcan trilogy IIRC.

Re: Initial TFU2 thoughts

I've got to say, this is the first game where the dark side ending has made more sense to me. as far as I can tell it fits into canon a lot better that way as Spoiler
another clone kills you, Kota, and walks out on Juno as she dies, then goes off to destroy the Alliance. Assuming he fails, of course.

Re: Fan Fic help

Have you written your plot down in the form of an outline? If you can get all the basics down on paper then it should be easier for you to manage your ideas.

Re: [360] Halo of War

Thoughts on the armor abilities? The only ones I tended to use on my initial playthrough (Normal difficulty) were the hologram and the bubble shield since it healed you and seemed to last reasonably long under fire, save fuel rods cannons and hunters. The armor lock seemed to be too short in durati...

Re: Gotham Intelligence - James Bond vs. The Batman (Update

The fight was very well handled. Just a couple nitpicks:

1. Rachel's last name is Dawes

2. Shouldn't Batman have at least noticed Bond's accent.

Othar than that it was a most enjoyable chapter.

Re: Gotham Intelligence - James Bond vs. The Batman

Very nice. I had thought about doing something like this a while back, never got around to it though, so I'm glad someone else did.

Bond was characterized pretty well. He had a hint of Connery to him which I liked.

I look forward to reading more.

The Robot Trilogy by Isaac Asimov. The interaction between Daneel and Bailey is pretty good, even if Bailey isn't that good of a detective.

I think that in Shadows of Mindor its mentioned near the end that what happens in the book is what actually happened, with Geptun making a holodrama that tweaks the events somewhat. Now I assumed that: What we saw in the book was Geptun's rewritten Holodrama. Note how it misses out Luke saying good...

Re: Maine Republicans Adopt Tea Party Platform

I'm from Hillsborough County, around the Peterborough area. It's really a mix of political thought (or lack of it), but there was a lot of support for that "Vote on Marriage" idea, and the local paper had a lot of government conspiracy letters concerning 9/11 recently.

Given the recent outbreak of 9/11 nuts, at least in my area of NH, I'm not so sure NH is "mostly sane". That being said, I agree with your sentiment, I really do hope this doesn't migrate into NH.

As far as the timeline debate goes... I'm admittedly a bit rusty on canon evidence and rules of engagement.

If it was used TNG and beyond, and this is set a considerable time before TNG, I would think that this is something of a non-issue? What were the dates used in ToS? The issue comes from the fact that the Jellyfish 's own computer lists its manufacturing date as stardate 2387, meaning that the "...
