They tried too hard to make this the prequel to Lord of the Rings. While technically it is, it really is supposed to be its own story and it always had a much different tone than the trilogy. "The Hobbit" is and was supposed to be much lighter in content. They didn't seem to understand that and...
Yeah, because that's the only way to protect the power grid.
You can shut it down, if there's a massive storm coming. Not the most convenient solution, but it works.
We CAN protect ourselves, though, with plenty of warning. And we're getting pretty damned good at predicting major solar events. Between SOHO, SDO, STEREO, KORONAS and Picard, we're watching it pretty closely.
Screw it, I'll just share these. Playlists of remastered and covered video game music.

Did you ever hear what happened to Tito, btw? Turns out the fat, extra-cheesy fuck never actually went to The Ohio State University and just liked to brag that he did.
Anyone read anything new and interesting, lately? Since Marvel"s basically ruined for now, I"m finding myself drawn more and more to Boom! Studios" stuff. Caped is pretty good and I think I"m going to be following Extermination. And of course Incorruptible and Irredeemable have been great.
