  1. Oh man, I loved that hotel bit. That was seriously scary.
  2. Like it too. I'm certainly going to have to name a Teladi M2 Business Time "Captain! It's Business Time!" "Not while I have breath in my body, ensign!"
  3. I need your help. *pauses to allow gags to subside* I recently dug up our old copy of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay - circa 1990. I figure on getting my new and old friends around for some sessions. I need a campaign with dark fantasy elements, hopefully some cool stuff, corruption, and flying goblins. Most importantly it is going to have to be free-form enough to allow the players to run around doing tehir own thing in between the bigger events. Thoughts, ideas, abuse?
  4. I've always felt that NO fantasy rpg has captured anything remotely magical about being a magic user. It always felt like loading a revolver more than tapping mystic powers.

    None of you wannabes impress me with you lame authors. Now E.E. 'Doc' Smith wrote appalling space opera.
  6. I rest my case. I don't really believe that. I was just poking fun at the stereotype that you're not a real man if you don't drink beer. You may be a real man, but you shall be a pale, sad man, possibly dying from consumption.
  7. Brainwave: Saturday Night, by Whigfield. To remind the mourners that there are worse things than dying.
  8. http://www.mailonsunday.co.uk/textbased/ne...orest-base.html Scientists trapped by killer bears! Bears.... or zombies!??
  9. The only thing going against superman is that he is a moron. I mean total goddamned moron. He spends all his time fighting crooks. He could probably single handedly end all poverty, avoiding more crime than he can ever punch. .
  10. I usually don't rate covers or male vocalists. But this is just amazing. Man, though the guy is ugly.
  11. To quote from a similar discussion in the game Band of Brothers: "...He can shoot lasers from his eyes. From his EYES!"

    *mechanical whirring noise as I spool up* What sort of thing are you after? Kicks, or facts? Probably the best of both would be The Dragon Syndicates, by Martin Booth. Martin died a couple of years ago under what I consider suspicious circumstances, but he really knew his stuff.
  13. That's clearly wrong. I mean I look gay and drink beer.

    Oooh! GK Chesterton! Have you, by any chance, been prompted by Deus Ex?
  15. Damn you Shryke! Damn you and your awesomeness to hell!
  16. If you've a good head for figures it can carry you a long way in most branches of the military. It's a rare skill, and possibly even rarer amongst thrill-seeking military types. Frankly, it sounds to me like you should join the reserves, keep on with your studies, and get up to fun stuff in your spare time. Plus if you don't like it the reserves are easier to quit. I had a really humbling but cool experience tonight with my unit. Basically they found out about all the problems I've been having and the whole company en masse pledged to help every way they could. I thought: "Wow. I have a company of soldiers backing me up." I've always seen it as me backing them. It was great to see it working the other way. I mean uniquely great.

    Portmanteau from jihadist and fascist? I tried googling it and the only two hits were you using it in threads on this forum. As Muso says, jihadist implies that jihad - a requirement of the faith - equates to political violence. I prefer jifascist or just 'jif', since it makes plain that these radicals have more in common with fascism than Islam. Why allow them to purloin a nobler title?
  18. Yet again I reflect that viewing Fio as an actual dragon greatly enlivens his posts.
  19. Would that be...procrasturbation?
  20. damaging government property. couple guys in my brother's boot camp troop (US marines) got dinged for it. as i recall, they got bent for a few days as a result. this was back in 1990 when the san diego MCRD was still operational (didn't they shut that one down since then?). taks >.> well it's got another two days to heal before I ship out. Oh come on guys. Nobody ever really got in trouble for sunburn. I did hear the threat thrown around but nobody is seriously going do njp over a sunburn. As to your bothers story Taks they were in Boot Camp, the look for reasons to screw with you in Boot Camp. Sure. Go ahead and spoil the fun. GD's right. You'll be fine.
  21. Egad. You're right.
  22. Well, I always assumed tourettes sufferers were just matelots, but there we are...
  23. If you've got athlete's foot in your ears, and a hankering for polishing shoes then you better step up!
  24. Which is the Weather Underground song? Too many cheesy ballad type of songs, otoh it may be just me liking many of the Beatles' Lennon-songs better than his solo work Also, no Working Class Hero for example, nor I'm losing you? KMFDM - Moron
  25. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2309735/Ti...-to-expert.html Fascinating. It claims that some people procrastinate to cause crises just to get kicks. It occurs to me that I might well fall into that category, or have done in the past.
