Even better: System Shock 2 monkeys.

5000 SS2 monkeys vs Vader.

I'll give it to the monkeys.

Actually, hyperspace would be very dangerous for the HW side as fighters have to dock (or risk being left behind) and all weapon systems are disabled or at least inactive while the ship makes the jump. This leaves a decent opening for EA to attack if they so wish.

Apparently I fall into the Anarchistic Communist Centre category, which is kind of anarchistic-libertarian, but, no I do not consider myself a libertarian.

Ooooh, what the...

One of my personal favourites was from an Aussie tabloid not long ago:

"Phoenician Settlement Found"

Apparently in about 300BCE some Phoenecians had taken it upon themselves to settle on the *east* coast of Australia. Yeah.

Since the Hiigarans have the ability to manufacture ALL their ships, fighter right on up to super-cap ships, on the spot, they have a huge hardware advantage over EA. And even with that ability aside, they lived on a harsh desert planet until finding their homeworld (think Fremen from Dune) and man...

Quick poll, do you support a proposed invasion of Iraq?

Howedar wrote:I believe I speak for everyone:


Fuck 'em.

Actually, no, you don't speak for me. And I say fuck you.

But really. This kind of lawsuit is fucking pointless. Just like any invasion of Iraq, or even an ongoing war on terror. Just get on with your insignificant and pointless lives. Shit happens.

Arcanum is far better than Baldurs Gate 1 or 2. Fallout 1&2 are tied at second.

Oh I forgot one... Guybrush Threepwood.

You forgot some excellent captains:

The crew of the Bebop (Cowboy Bebop)
Riff and Torg (sluggy freelance)

Yeah. I play/have played: Amber Diceless, 1st/2nd Ed AD&D, Hong Kong Action Theatre, RIFTS, Big Eyes Small Mouth, SLA Industries and Paranoia.

Now here's another question for you martial arts masters or novices: Have you ever had to put your martial arts training to use outside of your club? I.e. defend yourself in a bar room brawl, gently put down a drunken, but yet beligerant, friend, fend off a mugger, or protect yourself from a bad fa...

Having done a fair bit (2 and a half years) of Aikido myself, but never doing a grading (so still a white belt officially), I can say that it is a very good martial art. If you're building on that as a base, try and find a Brazilian Ju-Jitsu group. Very good submission work and some great throws. Ei...

The Monty Python, "Back in my day" sketch says it all. Repeatedly.

Whats the silliest science related quote you've ever heard? Doesn't have to be a scientist. It can be someone you know, or someone you've seen or heard in the media. From a TCE (year 12) Physics class: "Why when a baby's born doesn't the mass of the earth go up?" - someone who is somehow n...

First off - cut all trade and diplomatic relations and renegotiate them all with a view towards AUSTRALIA, not AMERICA's PACIFIC BITCH. Next, like Lusankya, I would track down and jail/kill/reeducate every last member of Resistance. I would hold a second referendum into a republic with a simple Yes/...

George Dubya Bush. How can anyone be more overrated? They can't be. The only reason he hasn't been laughed out of office yet is September 11.

Most people overlook Australia, in wargames (and at times just to piss other navies off) our sub captains have gotten numerous un-challenged hull-shots of US and other nations carriers. Our surface navy, though mainly geared to coastal defense and interdiction is still capable of fighting a holding ...

If it was any time but the Bush presidency I would say that by the time that extra troops were commited, Seoul would be besieged if not already taken. With the Bush presidency, as horrible as this sounds, Pyong Yang (spelling?) and other NK cities will be glass parking lots in no time what so ever.
