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...

The only way I could see any story involving the original characters is if they did a ten years later thing with Ellie as the protagonist, or something similar. Maybe the survivors of the Fireflies find out where she is and want to come get the cure or whats left of the government starts trying...

The timing issue is particularly egregious because one of the main competing movies (Despicable Me 2) was released by Disney, as well. If this movie had released when they originally intended, prior to Disney shutting down shooting and waving its dick around, it would have come out in late...

Well I liked it a lot, but I can totally understand how it tanked with the younger ADD crowds who did not grow up on Westerns and had no familiarity with the source material. The target audience of this flick was too narrow for the amount of money and talent involved in it. The John Carter...

im home all day Saturday. email me a good time.

Grew up on the show, listened to records of the old radio show withmy grandparents, and consider myself a longtime fan of the Lone Ranger. I personally liked this movie as much as anything I have seen this summer and felt it captured the feel of the old show with a modern spin. It kind of felt...

Yeah clickers went from OMFG Rape Train to trivial bullshit once you got Molotovs. Flame Thrower made it easier still. I found that the hunting rifle with max scope and AP punched the bloaters fairly well, especially if you put a nail bomb in their path before popping them. Honestly, that...

These are the grandkids of the baby boomers, so essentially a whole generation of undereducated spoiled shits being enabled by their spoiled as shit grandparents, who are in many cases likely more around than their parents due to the economic destruction of the nuclear family. Education made a...

PS- I will app a team this afternoon, probably Nurgle but maybe Ogres or something else weird.

I kind of like the double round robin so that you get a chance to replay people. Sometimes dice can just tip a game so absurdly and its nice to have another chance at an opponent.

Adult Swim stole my joke last night, but there version was funnier. Bump describing the movie read "Longest DBZ Episode Ever."

For me its more about intelligence and sense of humor, so the B category is nearly always going to out do the A category in that department. For a long term relationship, B every single time. The A option is only good for when you are young and just looking to fuck anything that moves.

Hatorade and Waxed, let me know when to look for each of you in irc. Adam same for stunty.

if your still around i am home restless. check irc

It is an insanely expensive ripoff of Chaos in the Old World, rules wise, but the pieces and board are nice. Wonder if FFG will sue them or not.

This comment is funny on so many levels, given your recent history.

I have had no blips on the radar from Restless. Has anyone seen him at all?
