Re: By Heresies Distressed Book 3 Safehold by David Weber
Got it, read it, and really wishing that the law of unintended consequences had bit Caleb on the ass for something he did without thinking it through(nothing that would have directly killed anyone, just something that would have been damned awkward to try to explain). The likelihood of it being cont...

Re: Mechwarrior 5! (Maybe)
No chance in heck. The original Hatchetman was only introduced in 3023, and the Axman was only supposed to be 'nearing production' when the 3050 Tech readout was published as an in-universe document.Darksider wrote:Did they have Axemans in 3015? I'd like to try out one like Adam Steiner's custom from the cartoon.

Re: Starcraft Vs. Posleen
Just to clear up one minor mistake. Their light(1mm railguns) can't do much to an Abrams, their heavy(3 mm) can mission kill one, it's the obscenely overpowered grav guns that the human power armor ACS use that can go through one the long way. The weapons they have that can reliably kill an Abrams a...

Re: Jim Butcher reveals first line of next Dresden novel
Hopefully, this implies that: 1) Susan is still at least part-human, not gone vampire. It's good to see her again, and it's even better to see her again alive. Alternately, she could be full-vampire and luring Harry into a trap, but hopefully JB's not quite THAT sadistic. Have you read his Calderon...

What, no fouls? Groinstab is most heartily displeased.
Oh well, he undoubtedly went over to the injury box to administer some superfluous kickings to the recumbent ratmen after the match.

No. Roy said they could beat Xykon in seven weeks. After Seven weeks it won't matter what Belkar does, or how he dies, because then he won't be Roy's burden anymore. As for Roy not realizing what's up with V, it's even worse. Remember he saw V with the two extra "sub-contractors". He's go...

Aw, why would people complain? Here I mean, I see the inevitable Xeno wanking is already building up steam over on SB.
And it would be Aliens: Total War, with the Predator:Total War expansion pack.

It doesn't seem unreasonable that Nero would jam the Vulcan communications and then broadcast a fake distress signal; however, that's a level of rationalization to which the audience should not need to stoop. Yeah, but that goes back to what I said earlier in the thread: There are no comms stations...

Hmm, option one, it was some form of summoning effect, which we know is a blatant loophole in the Cloister umbrella. Option two, MitD is epic enough to override the Cloister.

Sol: writing based on D&D mechanics really doesn't work out. Especially since at high levels, D&D loses all semblance of balance. Drizzit would die horribly if you tried to play him against the foes he faces by the game mechanics. He's a melee character who tackles mages and fiends, for cry...
