The most of Rey's fight doesn't bother me. Kylo Ren took a bowcaster bolt to the abdomen, a saber slash to his sword arm. What really bothered me on a second watch through was Poe's skill in battle over Maz's castle/bar. In the space of seconds he shoots down over 10 TIE's, and kills numerous stormt...

You stop visiting an unupdated page, and all of a sudden, there's another fleet of ships! Always wanted to see one I-418 series ships. As much as I, and the rest of the denizens here love warships, any chance of doing civilian vessels? Either big freighters and passenger liners, or smaller yachts an...

That sensor has an extremely limited arc, with almost no aft or side coverage. Any chance of moving to where the centreline turret it and splitting that to the sides in two singles?

I'd imagine the US left lost its balls when half of the Democrats started voting against FDR in the late 30's.

I think precautionary quarantine is a very good idea at this point, even if it's not something we're accustomed to doing. Especially as the guy from Liberia lied on his declaration, and entered the country knowing he was infected. Considering that his chances of survival are better in the US, I can...

Any thoughts about http://www.shapeways.com ? It's a 3D printing company, that allows you to set up a 'shop' to sell your models. Those of us who've been salivating over some of your 3D models could then purchase small, physical, versions. That would be incredible. I would be first in line. This gu...

As an Athiest, I always saw the Catholic Church as a poster-boy for what's wrong with organized religion. Extravagant wealth, no consideration for opposing religious, philosophical or personal viewpoints, etc... But this...fuck me. Francis is actually starting to redeem the Church in my eyes. One g...

Were you disappointed by Utapau in RotS? Idk how much of that was CG, but I could easily see filming in a quarry for a setting like that. I would prefer them not to use CGI to create environments and planets. Compositing real actors and props into a digital background is something many visual effec...

I am surprised by that ... When you think about 60% youth unemployment, you think about revolution, I had sort of assumed. That is a very strong spirit. Or a very crushed one. I'm not sure if that's necessarily true anymore. This isn't the result of cruel, exploitative government policy that could ...

Also, real wages are declining in Japan. Just think about that - in a world with no growth, wages are constantly falling to make room for profits still to be made. :lol: I doubt that's gonna last too long. You needn't sound quite so cheerful about the prospect. I'd be cheerful if it means the end o...

Fun fact, when the place was built in 1962 it did not even need a permit to operate at all, and in fact thanks to a long running grandfather clause it did not need a permit until 2004 which it did obtain. Apparently it largely passed safety inspections, was fined for some problems in 2006 but they ...

^No time or motivation lately, but both should pick up over the summer (hopefully). Meanwhile, it's not really Star Wars, but I've finished touching up the Infinity from Halo4's Spartan Ops. I was wondering if you had any more images of the Naval Station that you did for the book. Maybe close-ups o...

I usually refrain from posting anything in relation to IVP for obvious reasons..and I am not going to start with anything declarative.

Kim Dotcom is one of the worst human beings around, being responsible for fraud, misuse of title, insider trading etc. You name it, he probably has done it. That being said, the current case against him may very well be a farce. The FBI in this case is acting the exactly the same: horrible human be...

Yeah, people in power are working hard to criminalize filming of police. Remember kids, every time you click record, a police man gets his feelings hurt, or something equally justifying no filming. They're losing that battle in a major way. IIRC the supreme courts of several states have already mad...

That makes this an open and shut case. Stand Your Ground doesn't apply in the Zimmerman case, as he had the option of NOT FOLLOWING. Murder 2 guaranteed, as he deliberately followed his victim and shot him.

"Well, obviously they were justified in beating the kid. It was reasonable force because he looked at them, and they feared for their life. He was stupid for looking a cop in the eyes, which can be perceived in a threatening manner. Those officers were acting in self-defense, I tells ya!!"...

None of the companies referenced are British. They are all continental quasi-state cartels. Not that I think that is a big problem here, it isn't. As for the railways; the first thing the private sector did was build them. But perhaps you mean a more recent offence? http://upload.wikimedia.org/wiki...

That could be the long term goal.
