And let's be honest, having swarms of zoombies is a far more credible worldwide threat than shambling corpses. Plus, shambling corpses are being done to death. Pun intended. When was the last non "of the Dead" sequel that had old slow zombies? To my knowledge (And feel free to correct me)...

I've been playing the Star Wars X-wing miniatures game lately. *snip* I bought my friend two core sets, two TIE X1 Advanced starfighters, an extra TIE fighter and a Y-Wing for Christmas. We've been playing a few games off and on Christmas day and just earlier today. I chose the expansions according...

Yeah, I get the impression that you have to be hardcore, although I've seen some clan players out there in the pub matches who seemed to be quite incompetent. I guess even bad players benefit immensely from decent leadership and teamspeak-based communication. I'm not part of a clan, but I did play ...

That would be me.

Sorry if I distracted you in that game or something. I just saw your screen name there and automatically thought of you here. So, I thought I'd give a shout out. I used to platoon a lot with Mr. Coffee back in beta.

Speaking of which, what was that walker doing looking down at its shackled hands before ripping one arm free? Have we seen very much of that sort of hesitant behavior? The swamp walker that killed Dale seemed confused as to why it couldn't go after Carl back when it was still caught in the bog. It ...

Here's some interesting theorizing about some of the mythic aspects of the film, particularly with regards to the whole Space Jesus and black goo stuff. The idea is that "acceptance of death and self-sacrifice to make way for new life" is a recurring theme in the movie, and particularly t...

Or maybe the Romans killed "Jesus" before he could drink the black goo and release the aliens. The scene at the beginning of the film shows one Engineer sacrificing himself to get the black goo going. Maybe that's what "Jesus" was really about and the Last Supper was the dry run...

What if the Aliens weren't weapons, but the Space Jockeys' gods? The script for the first movie had a sequence in which the humans explore a temple with depictions of the Jockeys willingly serving as hosts. Scott probably never gave a damn about this, but in the old comics (the one that continued f...

The Economist The rich are different from you and me They are more selfish Jul 29th 2010 LIFE at the bottom is nasty, brutish and short.

He's joking. It's from this thread

Did a search and couldn't find it posted, so here it is: PBS It was from an interview with a guy named Wendell Potter who worked for CIGNA. It was actually from last week, but I thought it would be nice to bring it up. By and large this is something we should all know about, but I like hearing it fr...

Patrolmag Christians More Likely to Support Torture Apr 30, 2009 | 05:18 pm A new Pew survey reveals something not-all-that-shocking: people who attend church at least once a week are more likely to say torture is "often" or "sometimes" justifiable. And those who identify as eva...

It is very unlikely any Indian settlement would be named "Vishnu". How many Jesusvilles or Maryburgs do you know ? 8) We've got Maryland and Virginia. To say thing about Latin countries. I thought those states were named after British royalty - Maryland after the wife of Charles I and Vir...

Contrary to the history of Grievous' past given by Eyes of Revolution (Is it even canon?), this episode suggests that Grievous actually took on cybernetic augmentation voluntarily over a period of time as illustrated by the statuary in the lair. Rather than being resentful, he actually sees his cybo...

But competant battle droids are refreshing. Well, we've seen SBDs act smarter than the B1s before. In a previous episode, when the protagonists use droid zapper grenades, the SBDs try to shoot the one that got tossed their way while the the grenade that got thrown at the B1s got picked up by one of...

And quit fucking talking to "Joe". It's insulting. Who the fuck is Joe anyway? Fuck that asshole Joe and his plumbing business. Okay?! This fucker is getting all the screen time! :finger: :lol: Apparently it's some Ohio plumber by the name of Joe Wurzelbacher. Here's a Youtube clip of him...

This is another article written by the same author who created this article that I posted a while back in N&P. This time it's an overview of George W. Bush's assault on the separation of church and state. And just as the previous article drew a lot of inspiration from Richard Hofstadter, Aristot...
