Re: Imperium of Man Vs Galactic Empire [Mass combat, Elites conflit, Space supremacy]

Well, Rogue, he also doesn't give the Imps a single Emperor , Oberon, or Armageddon-class while stacking the Empire's deck with virtually all Star Destroyers. As if he's trying to make the Imperium lose. And, where are all the commissars? They do have a single battleship at least, the Retribution c...

That site is horrible. The comments hidden underneath layers of comments and further down just makes it down right terrible to try and read.

Re: Where can I find better anime?

I've really liked the Gundam Iron Blooded orphans as well. Never was a big Gundam fan but it seems to have the mix of action to everything else just about right. It's not entirely over the top in it's mecha designs either. Decent mecha show to check out if you're into it would be Full Metal Panic. I...

Re: Something I've Always Wondered—

I don't think it would have any effect. The planet of Kamino is technically an extra-galatic system located in the Rishi maze, a dwarf galaxy outside the main Star Wars galaxy.

Several Jedi travelled there and seemed to have suffered no ill effects or sudden increase in powers.

Re: Where can I find better anime?

"Lupin the Third: The Italian Adventure" was probably my favourite watch of the last year or so. Damn fine art style and decent story that has a good mix of seriousness and humour. It's Lupin, so it's pretty much been a staple of anime since the late 60's/early 70's. " Gintama "...

As a UK citizen I'm disturbed to see how the majority of those pre-millennium casualties are British. Were there no terror attacks in 1993? :? Can't comment on 1993, but I suspect if you broke down 'British' by English, Irish and so forth, you'd see that the majority were Irish. I could be wrong ab...
