Re: Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Battles (Spoilers)
A turret fails to see Julian’s Spartanian I was under the impression that the gunner couldn't depress the barrel deep enough to hit Julian's Spartanian, since he followed his movements for a couple of seconds. It might have been a security feature so the gunner couldn't hit his own ship or because ...

Re: First Look at Ryan Reynolds as Green Lantern
That weird pattern on the uniform makes GL look a bit alien. They might have done that to underline the fact that the corps is an alien organization.
But I think they captured the essence of the character perfectly. Why? There is a giant green fist in the trailer.

Re: Galactic Empire vs. Galactic Empire
But it would be an interesting fight to watch if the writer tones down B5's greater agility so that the LoGH forces have a chance to win. Of course writers should do that in moderation. Character interaction and alternative universes are great, but if you carry it too far you will get High School AU...

Re: Galactic Empire vs Orions Arm Sephirotic Civilisations
-Also, although they pwn orions arm in a straight up fight, its only because they have superluminal capabilities. I would easily win this debate (against every pro-warsie who showed up) if that capability were nullified, or if orions arm were granted FTL. That's a guarantee, bro. To keep things fai...

Re: Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Battles
More than 200 star systems fell into Alliance hands without opposition, some of them inhabited, with 50 million Imperial citizens in all. After seeing those huge fleets annihilated and millions of soldiers dead, it strikes me as odd how small the population of the planets are. 50 million divided by...

Re: 230 000 Japanese Centenarians Unaccounted For
To be on the safe side they would have to check every pensioner, not just those above a certain age.
Besides, it would be easier to organize the search by name instead of age.

Re: Galactic Empire vs Orions Arm Sephirotic Civilisations
The dyson spheres though are far to large for that and not generally solid which would defeat most conventional weapons: So you are saying there are lots of small targets instead of a single big one. Sounds like a job for lots of small weapons. And those are in orbit, which means you can target the...
