Liked the movie a lot. I can't help but notice that a lot of the same people hating on this one are the ones who were jizzing themselves over Pacific Rim Job, which is hilarious to me. The tech was pretty much in the realm of believability, as was the human behavior in it. Shakeycam got a...

Skeil, I am going to poke my head in Friday afternoon. Otherwise, I am open to sunday all day or evenings on Monday or Tuesday. The high powered Nurgle pass offense vs the beatface elven defense: Who will win? You should have my personal email, if not pm me and I will relay it to you.

Meh, tried to contact Addle, but despite being online on the board he has not responded..... Do what must be done. I will try one last time to get ahold of him tonight. Shame too, as I am enjoying the Goblin team a lot.

Cyrus, what time were you thinking? Been looking for you....

Yeah because its usually the latter who are the issue. Of course, the way a lot of low level derps end up with those admin rights is because the sysadmins are too fucking lazy to do certain basic tasks and hand them out like candy to lackeys instead.

I never argued it was effective. I was merely underlining why the drones have drawn as much ire as they have from enemy and friend alike. It will obviously not break the enemy, because drones are not capable of occupation any more than the traditional army. But not being able to retaliate...

I don't disagree with this, but really warfare being conducted solely by drones is a relatively new development (as opposed to the drones supplementing existing forces in a specific theatre) and the outrage has gotten pretty intensified since. Its a lot different being able to run in with a...

Also, looking at it from the side of the insurgent, the risk of getting turned into a smoldering crater is the same whether it is a drone or a manned aircraft. But it is a lot more demoralizing when they risk life and limb (or suicide attack) against a drone and the only consequence is...

They hate the drones because they represent risk free remote killing. With a manned aircraft, the pilot is potentially at risk of being shot down and captured/killed. Drones create a feeling of powerlessness in insurgencies. There is also the element of detachment that makes the choice to...

The NES game did not exactly involve a lot of stealth and alarm evasion, either. I don't think that is an element that can find its way into this sort of turn based game, especially on a kickstarter budget. I am pretty happy with what I got for $20, though. I look forward to seeing what comes...

Yeah, I am going to repeat what I said earlier on this IRS topic. If you are establishing groups (in this case Teabagger PACs) with the sole intent of abusing the law and go out of your way to verbally and publicly shit all over the IRS, you are stupid if you think that you are not going to...

Foraskin's brain does not work that way, which is why he believes in space lizards and Jesus, among other fictional things.

I enjoyed the hell out of both plays of the main campaign (first as Elf Gunner/Mage, then as Troll Rigger/Decker) but after messing with some of the user content there definitely needs to be some bug tweaks done. The me from ten years ago might have sat down and banged out a long adventure in...

Any evening should work, except Saturday. Daytime Friday would work too. Do you still have my email?

I am more concerned about a goof with inbound objects fucking with other smaller shit we cannot see, but is capable of causing real damage. Also consider that the moon is moving relatively slow, but trucking even a small sized rock towards our planet at a speedy enough rate to get it here in a...

The potential for a major fuckup is too great, I would think, for them to reel one in to earth orbit. Hell, even dragging one around the inner solar system risks fucking with orbital dynamics and/or deflecting a random celestial object (eg Comet or other small body) in some unforeseen way...

Yeah this is more the next NWN than a stand alone game. Think of the Deadman Switch as more of a tech demo for the toolset. The engine is limited, but for the price it nails the feel of the genre perfectly. Plus a lot of us old timers have been starving for a good turn based tactical RPG.

Game needs some bugs polished out, but there is a lot of potential here. I beat the into campaign with a custom elf guns and combat mage. Now I am replaying as a custom Troll Decker/Rigger and it plays a lot differently, though I wish I had a fourth weapon slot for my gun (deck and two drones...

I would put American Pop on my list of animated movies that still blow me away when I see it, in terms of story and imagery. The Plague Dogs is another really surprisingly good movie.

The main dude doing the Bale Batman voice all movie was either total camp or horrifically bad acting. I can't decide which.

In other news, I think Cyrus gets the prize for worst three game run in RR BB history. After getting skunked 3-1 twice by Skiel's wood elves, the dice took it to him in our game. My nurgle team had two long passes for TDs, including the most insane improbable play I have ever done at the end...

Funk if you want someone to play a fill in team, I can toss in a fresh crap roster of your choosing to fill gaps. I am sure there are others who might, as well. Getting an easy game is better than no game.

I would say dwarf tossing jokes and Legolas Fred Flintstone Brontocrane sliding off the giant mammoth would be obvious camp moments, though there were many others.

Aliens wasn't really campy, just 80s macho vibe. The rest, well let's just say those movies have taken their share of criticism in this community over the years. Empire Strikes Back had virtually no campy scenes and is generally seen as the critically best star wars movie (I happen to agree)...

Another thing I found amusing is this: Asian girl is something like five or six when Marshal rescues her as a generation one jaeger pilot, which would put her at age 11-12 when surferbro (presumably at least 25) lost his brother in the opening fight. This means when they reeled surferbro back...

I was suggesting the opposite, actually. Cut out the bullshit plot scenes and cut the movie run time down to bring the ratio up to snuff. I don't think anyone would complain about a 90 minute movie if half of it is Mechagodzilla beatdown. Edit: Scientifically plausible I can live without...

You are absolutely right. The problem is that there was a ton of "plot plot shut" up shit and nowhere near enough giant robots punching Godzilla. Clip all that useless shit out, especially Mexican/Egyptian Orville Redenbacher (his accent kept changing?) and the romance between the 30 year...

Now imagine how much less brain hurt this movie would have inflicted if they had an intern check Wikipedia. I said sublimate when I meant vaporize, but then again n one was paying me to crank out a 100m dollar movie, so....

Well realistically, if a reporter who is a known whistleblower turns up with a bullet in him, people are going to dig into it and not be ridiculed for doing so. Same dude's car or plane crashes and anyone asking questions about it can be marginalized as a tinfoil hat wearing herpderp. Again...

Bullets can and will always be traced after the fact. That potentially complicates things. Exploding cars leave no long term evidence, especially when you roll in your own people to manage the crime scene. Not saying he was killed, but a fake crash is probably the tidiest way to take out a...

I love fun things, I just can't shut off my brain to the degree this movie requires to embrace it as much as you guys have. Most of that is the fault of the movie. Had the opening verbal vomit in batman voice been all the plot in this movie, with the balance of it being giant robots punching...

Both movies are science fiction, both are major releases, and both attempted to be serious movies.....?

Without going into a long winded rant, I would just like to state five things after seeing this last night: 1) The people who dogpiled on Prometheus for its plot flaws that are also praising this movie need to do some self reflection with regards to their fanboism. 2) You cannot try to be...

Nothing will move forward until the issues surrounding supporting our biology in low gravity are solved, anyhow. In that sense, Mars makes more sense for a colony, because the gravity is relatively close and its near the asteroid belt. I guess if automation progresses enough we could mine the...

Welp, with the Superhiro no show draw, the Makkon MIA, and Orcacyde bye, I have exactly one real game left to play. See Addle in a couple weeks I guess!

For those bitching about Obama making a public statement about the trial, in my view it was better to say something moderate (as I feel he did) and try and diffuse the riled up ignorant masses than for him to stand by and let another Rodney King shitfest ensue. Nothing he or Holder said was...

No sign of superhero, but he appears to have played his summer league game so he must be around. I sent him a message here and have been periodically checking irc. Do what you gotta do on that game, I guess. Unless he turns up tonight.

Anyone see superhero lately?

Riddick was basically "Warhammer 40k the movie" and very entertaining. I can understand why people did not like the tonal shift from Pitch Black, however.

Xander basically said he was unavailable until next weekend. I was around and in IRC (got my other games done last weekend in fact), but the only time he popped on was super early on the Saturday after the 4th. I would actually like to play him, if possible. Is there any way we can extend...
