Re: Saints Row IV

What Cache/XP bonii should a newer player watch out for, and which rewards should be gotten early? The upgrades for super-jump gliding and super-sprint wall-running are incredibly useful. Endurance upgrades for sprinting aren't very useful, as you can use super-sprint and super-jump to cover large ...

Re: Iron Man 3 *SPOILERS*

I think, though my memory might be wrong, that Pepper actually picked something up first and used the repulsor blast to blow whatever it was through Killian. As to why that did the trick? We already saw that massive damage to the chest stops thses super soldiers with the death of the major mook on ...

Re: I Need A New Keyboard

Keyboards with membrane contact switches just aren't as physically durable as a full-mechanical keyboard.

Zaune, have you looked into the SteelSeries 6GV2?

You, and others, seem to be under the impression that carrying a loaded and cocked firearm poses a significant risk. Justify this. The opening post of this thread? As the OP, I have to say you've read way too much from what was a "haha, dumbass shoots himself in the butt" post. If he had ...

Are you also in favor of a ban on automobiles, given the existence of automobile accidents? I ask, as the black and white scenario you're attempting to reduce this argument down to is exactly the same.

Re: Antigravity nation vs teleportation nation (RAR)

Here is a thought. Have the bomber have big wings. Next, have it fly real high and start gliding down. As it glides down, the aerodynamic shape and stuff make it fall at an angle thus moving forward (with no power). Now, what would happen if you used the grav drive all the time to pop back up. Basi...

Re: Saving the the Imperium of Man

If the pylons degrade, Abaddon himself is screwed. With no stable means of exiting the Eye of Terror, any "Black Crusades" he launches will be reduced to mere raiding parties, for the Imperial Navy to defeat piecemeal. (To paraphrase another board member, without the pylons, ships exiting...
