TV: Heroes
I liked the part where the girl gets tackled and her head is backward, then she flips it around and squeals to her cheerleader teammates.

New NWN2 DevDiary
What have you done? Now we're going to expect all that! You should've given us anti-hype, like, "NWN2 is going to be a game, probably. That is, you'll be able to play as if it were a video game," or, "the game will be of a certain quality, for sure."

... Fallout PnP?
I really wish I had played Fallout, sorry. For what it's worth, it sounds like you are doing it right and fallout-ey for the most part. Maybe, add a sardonic NPC that seems to offer help to the team, but actually hinders them more than help, and his motivations are that he makes a living this way, mooching off of hapless wandering teams of people on missions, like trying to capture prisoners. Actually, make it a girl, and she is hot, that way, people will accept her into the group, and then she'll run away with their goods. And she has a child, used to add sympathy. Also, I'd like you to clarify what the Ulysses computer is doing to threaten the surrounding civilizations. I might be able to help with my obviously amazing ideas. Oh, and at the end, the lady, when she leaves, is realized to be the wife of one of the escaped prisoners. And she leads the group to one of the prisoners unknowingly. How can you resist my mad idea skillz?

... Fallout PnP?
Does a system even exist for upgrading stuff? You could always make up your own, or just think about it as if it were real life. You can go about it from case to case, since you are the DM. Just ask yourself: how much would a certain modification cost? (Gauge it based on what the original weapon piece cost, or what that type of technology in your setting costs, and labor or whatever to install it). What features would the modification add? If it is a gun, and someone wants to modify it, you can think of a few options for it that are available at the store or whatever, so if you think of more later, what you thought of previously was just for that store. For example, say that someone has a revolver and wants to upgrade. You would think of some options, like, new grip, which would add a point to the hit chance of a shot, or something more expensive, that was saved before the apocalypse, a heads-up display eyepiece, which would have a laser-type of sensor on the gun, and the eyepiece would display you where your gun is aiming. This would make it so you could just whip out your gun and not worry about stance or anything, just getting to a stable position with your hand. Such a device would add more to the hit chance of a shot, or because its appeal is to just speedily know where you will hit, even with one hand on the weapon, it could add another shot every 3 rounds using the weapon, or whatever you can think of. I am obviously bored.

New Power Suit Amplifies Human Strength
I can see that working, but there are other methods to move somebody... It reminds me of Heinlein's gorilla-like powered-suit in Starship Troopers (the book you fools, not the movie).

Where's everybody from?
Camas, Washington. http://www.wikimapia.org/#y=45588546&x=-12...82&z=17&l=0&m=h This next picture is a little farther out: http://www.wikimapia.org/#y=45823057&x=-12...z=9&l=0&m=s&v=1 I live in the populated area above the sharper bend in the river. I can see two of those mountains from my house. The one directly north is Mt. St. Helens, and has been known to excite scientists with its volcanic activity. Within the past year, there was some ash that the blew out of the top, but the more well-known, actual eruption of this mountain was back in 1980. You can Wiki it if you want. I am originally from Tuscon, Arizona. I visited this Air Museum as a kid: http://www.wikimapia.org/#y=32138818&x=-11...69&z=17&l=0&m=h

Halo Wars officially announced
My brother gets a bunch of his friends from school to go online with Halo 2 and they form a private game, where only people who are invited can play. It's basically like having the guys in the room over when you overhear them in their headsets screaming after you kill them. When Halo for Xbox first came out, I don't remember much else like it. You could tool around in levels for long periods of time with a buddy on co-op, accumulating all the grenades in the level into one spot, then sticking a vehicle next to it all, and it is all beside a rock and an overshield, and then grabbing the overshield and blowing up the pile while your friend watches you fly away. Good times. We would take the warthog into places it wasn't meant to go (note: they fall through elevator lifts). We would just play through the level really quickly and mow down everything. Distracting an enemy while your buddy runs up behind him and breaks his neck. Multiplayer was just 16 player Lan parties, made easier for everyone because it is on a console that has the same specs as everyone, and you just plug them in to a hub and go. I am not saying it was the best game, but Halo, when it first came out, was great. Gameplay is still fun too. If you like FPS's, Halo and Halo 2 are at least average, and the multiplayer aspects make it last for as long as you and your friends still enjoy killing each other. Sure, other games allowed you to do this, but for Xbox, this was all we had, and we loved it.

What's your dream car?
That's why I always go places 30 minutes early, so when I get there, I can unscrew my driver's seat and take it with me.

Awesome...whered you get that? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I scoured the deviantART postings and thought, "This is exactly what I want my desktop pic to be." It was the right size and the right color, so bam it was on my desktop. Here it is on deviantART if you want to see more about it.

I played Risk with some friends. I took over the US, central America, Canada, and Greenland, then the guy who was controlling the Europe area got wiped out, and the others decided I was next. Fortunately, we ended the game before then.- Happy Birthday Arkan

Crazy Ivan voice from red alert 2: "Happy BIRTHDAY!"- California sues car companies over global warming
*Shoves a pitchfork down Hades' throat* Heh, that was the right pocket.- California sues car companies over global warming
Right, but people use the cars even now that we know the harmful effects. Heck, the case is about the harmful effects, and about compensating the Californian people, so the people sueing know that in driving to the court, they are contributing to harm themselves. Based on the reality that people still drive cars, nobody seriously cares that they are harming the environment. To put the blame solely on the car makers is flawed, in that, they didn't drive the car, they only provided it. Secondary, but now considered a bad side-effect. People know that the side-effect is there, but they don't stop driving the cars. How is the car maker guilty for continuing to provide something that people want regardless of the toll on the environment, which they know of now? Agreed, it would be hard to make a case against car-makers. I see my points are a little poopy on the edges, but I was just trying to think of some easy defense ideas against the rather absurd lawsuit. Your idea (quoted directly above) is probably better than mine are :"> Oh, and I forgot to add the complimentary- California sues car companies over global warming
This is like sueing companies that make guns because people get shot to death with them. The company makes it, sells it, but is not liable as to what people do with it. That's like sueing a maker of a programming language because people wrote harmful code with it. People smoke cigarettes, which are harmful to them, but they still do it, because they obviously like it. Should cigarette companies stop making cigarettes because people are harmed by them? People accept the side-effects. And based on the fact that everyone is driving a car around with reckless abandon as to the environment (even while they know the damage is being done), I make a claim that people are willingly negligent about the effects their driving has on the environment, and that they accept the effects as a cigarette smoker does. If I were defending the car makers, I would present these types of cases.- We only talk about Fallout
For example, my accomplices in the game went in to slash the enemy. I stayed back at a safe distance, firing arrows. After the battle, I examined my buddies and they had more of my arrows sticking out of them than the dead corpse did. Then I tried going in to slash the enemy with my sword. I would hold the trigger and wait for it to power-up, but by that time, my buddy jumped in front of me, and I dealt him a massive blow to the back.- Chinese foreign media filtering
That's great, man, but I wasn't insulting anybody, I was pointing out your flawed logic, that is, because one is around people with a lower IQ does not mean their IQ will lower. I cannot make my statements any clearer, but know that if you think I am insulting you, then you are misinterpreting what I say, as that is not what I am saying. You didn't make any analogies. Also, I don't think your analogies, if made, are any worse than mine are from an abstract perspective that they all suck at symbolizing reality. When I said you are focusing on the analogy too much, I meant that you took the analogy and broke it apart by its peculiarities, when the reason that I posted it was to get you to think about voting. Truthfully, I don't know much about Turkish politics. My point was that your reaction to the people in the analogy should've simulated your reaction to governmental bodies. USA citizens don't feel forced. We have less than 50% of the population voting. That is the pityness: our country's opinion as a people is not being counted, only half of it. So the person we might actually want isn't being chosen. And in my experience and knowledge of history, there will never be a "good" choice. One choice will be a better choice, but a president always has his/her drawbacks, something that makes him/her "not good" in the sight of someone. You are focusing on others' actions as a response to the question that was directed at you. I am asking you what you are doing that is so much more righteous than everyone else, who are being manipulated by mind control. If we are in bondage over here, how are you helping me? How do you know people aren't mind controlling you, persuading you not to vote, so that only a few people vote for the bad guy, and the bad guy wins? I am not annoyed by anything you've posted. I am saddened that you believe things that cannot be verified. How can I, let alone you, verify the truth that your websites offer? - What are you playing now?
