Re: Which portrayal of the Gorn do you prefer: TOS or ENT?

TOS all the way. I admit that nostalgia may be somewhat of a factor, I always liked the Gorn, and did not see the episodes of ENT in question. One aspect, I really did like that made the Gorn Captain feel more alien, was the compound eyes. I don't really know anything about biology so I can't say if...

So the force choking her does nothing. :roll: Come on, not even she can be that stupid. Besides I am sure Yoda or Kenobi would have convinced her not to.

Didn't we determine a gorn was stronger than a wookie ages ago? Also the being slow may be a bit of a brainbug from old theories of dinosaurs being lumbering crocodiles (sauropods) instead of the small fast raptor family, or even the tyranosaur family which could achieve decent speed to run down pre...

The sad thing is people don't seem to realize how bad this is. I doubt few would ever protest enmasse because they see no real chance of winning. Realisticly to even fight such a battle to the Supreme Court and change the meaning of 'public benefit' would require having a great deal of money for law...

Need Advice! Daul 6800 Ultras 256Mb or Single 7800GTX?

I'm back! After hearing rumors about the G70 I decided to hold off on getting the new system I asked about few weeks ago, here . I decided to go daul-core X2. I have heard rumors that one 7800GTX can out-perform SLIed 6800 Ultras, personally I am somewhat skeptical of that, and by my figuring the co...

This is an interesting question. On one hand I would like the politicians being honest for once. On the other it isn't exactly a moral thing to do. I don't know if I would support it, it would really depend on how much my survival depended on it, ie: food. I would like to say I wouldn't support it, ...

My newest XBOX Magazine says that the 360 comes standard with a 20GB hard drive that is detachable and upgradeable. Take this as you will considering it is from the official magazine and not an independant third party. This is from the Q & A section following the MaximumPC article. Also, the ove...

Perhaps make the game like the Infinities comics, is what I was thinking. Oh, as far as I know LFL can't do a thing about fan mods of existing games. Perhaps I should make a thread about some of my Star Wars game ideas.

My god this makes me wish there was a game based on this. You a stormtrooper working in concert with all the other troopers to regain loyalist control of the death star. It would be beutiful. Heck, even a mod of some RTS would be cool (maybe Empire at War, or whatever that new one being made is call...

I have done a bit more research and am leaning toward and X2, becuase they would give me better performance since there will still be programs running in the background(win XP, anti-virus, firewall,etc.) still no true multitasking though. I think the X2 will give my computer a longer life than even ...

Out of curiosity how much less performance/life would I get if I scaled down to a AMD Athlon™ 64 4000+ Processor with HyperTransport Technology. Would I be able to tell the difference, since games rely more on the GPU today. (I should mention that I don't overclock.) Also in the future how exactly d...

Getting A New Comp Need Help

I am getting a new computer. It is an Alienware, one of the AMD based ones. Now before you go saying Alienwares are over priced I want to make it clear that buying an Alienware for me has been a dream that I have had for many years, much like how many dream of owning a red Corvette convertable or a ...
