So, the fact that we're discussing guns on the pen and paper section of a computer RPG website during the wee small hours of our respective timezones didn't tell you we were geeks? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> How's this for geeky: Ah i feel it is my duty to inform you that this is in fact Way Off Topic and not Pen and Paper gaming. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I thought of that, and then I thought that this thread might have been started in Pen&Paper and moved by the Green Dragon or Sanity-challenged Joe ...

I'll pm tomorrow, off to sleepy bo-bo's now.

YOU like non-dairy coffee creamers TOO! OMG! PS (I hope no-one thinks to send that link to the UK PC Gamer magazine ...)

Just the white-coated officials with the daily dosage ... "

Europe FR Louis Pasteur discovered that germs come from Germany in the 1860s (German is like English. Spoken by a monster. Underwater. Into a Walkie-Talkie.) There is some funny stuff: one to annoy @Revieled "

Sounds like many a dream I've had after that preniciously insidious game ...

Are you surprised? Have you seen how long this thing is? http://www.epic.org/privacy/terrorism/hr3162.html All credit to Reveilled, but I don't think I could handle more than five minutes of that. Part of the problem is that it's so huge and contains so many measures. The supporters will pick out measures that are pretty reasonable, the opponents will pick out measures that are silly and badly written, and never the twain shall meet. (Still, it's probably better than the UK system, where anybody can be sent to jail indefinitely and without trial just because the Home Secretary thinks they might be a terrorist.) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't understand how the hell anybody could have allowed that measure to pass through parliament. One would like to think that such a measure would have been voted down unanimously, but security seems to be king in the western world today, and silly things like freedom get in the way of that. A shame. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The UK are about to vote to strengthen the Police Powers to prevent any unscheduled protests in an enlarged area around parliament -- including Westminster Bridge in London. This is being hurried through for Dubya's visit and Geldof's "million hippy march" for the G8 in Scotland. Basically it means that all protestors will need to arrange their protest in advance (how many people, where, who what about); that sounds like a neat way for governments to manage protests that they find too embarassing or awkward ...

I don't want to start a religious flame war, so I will just leave it. (My comment was based on the fact that there is not sufficient evidence to categorically disprove Muhammed, unlike those prophets unfortunate enough to ply their trade more recently.) If your pineal gland tells you you have a direct bat-phone to god, good for you! I have no such direct link to any God-like being, unless such a: God is a comedian, playing to an audience too afraid to laugh. Furthermore: As long as people believe in absurdities they will continue to commit atrocities. Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd. (All quotes from Voltaire.)

Uwe Bol sounds like a contemporary version of Ed Wood.

I think I saw a telemovie of that starring Oliver Reed: The Return of the Musketeers ...

Not bad, which games did you get? Seriously I think people too fixated on prices for consoles and games. We could spend twice the price of a console (

consoles are not as good as PCs, here's the Word:

And one has to make sure to open the door when opportunity knocks?

Uhm.. yes. How do you guys keep all those weird names in memory? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> As previously mentioned, Rancor was big thing that nearly ate Luke in RotJ; Taris was the first planet in K1. I just threw loads of grenades at the big beast: some of the badder ones took off 20 HP, while most were just 10 HP. (I don't generally use grenades at all, so I have a few available: I think I had to buy a couple of plasma grenades for that conflict though: party screen, return to flat, go to the vendor, buy the munitions, party screen and return, bingo!)

So Volourn should do nothing whilst waiting for greatness to walk up and knock on the door?

So, just like Glasgow and rural Wales, then? "

To say I have grave reservations and I am acutely skeptical of Tennant would be an unnecessary understatement. I am very pleased with Russell T Davies' re-imagining of the series, from the 45 minute episode or two stories with the overarching theme for the series (Bad Wolf), to the re-invention of the characters and their roles. I am not so sure I like the subtle sexual tensions and flirting between the Doctor and his companions, though ... All in all, great stuff! ("I'm going to rescue her, kill you all and save the universe." "But you don't have a plan." "Yes, I know, and it worries you enormously, doesn't it!" :D ) I am a little concerned with Billy Piper (there were rumours that she planned to quit and try her luck in Hollywood -- Haha! Fat chance!), although I agree the new programme needs some continuity. (I thought for a moment last week she had actually been disintergrated ... )

All you need to know about Romania can be written on the back of a postage stamp.

Scarily enough, I've read some of that literature. My god its complex and generally written by a geek whose grasp of English is so turbid that I end up torpid ... but I'm sure it will pay dividens for you ultimately. That's the name of Ripley's ship in Alien ...

[2]Well. Newton's laws are once regarded as the eventual theory in physics, but when science advanced and new experimental methods become available, quantum mechanics becomes the theory that outdated Newton's laws. It doesn't mean we can no longer believe in science. I am simply saying that science updates itself. [3]I am simply comparing how we practice religion and science, not the actual practice themselves. They both require openmindedness is all I am saying. Fanatism in any practice is evil. Well, except Kotor of course. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 1. In an effort to prevent this thread from being derailed, I shall keep my opinions about religion to myself, but I certainly treat anybody who says they have a direct line to God with the most skepticism I can: and that is quite considerable ... 2. Have you studied physics at all? You are coming across as an Arts bigot; someone who gives credence to the wildest non-scientific comments in a misguided "democratic" effort to give everyone a say. Science is not one person's view on anything, it is the culmination of humankind's combined efforts to observe patterns in the material universe. If you look at the famous Albert Einstein equation E = mc

Oh, I thought you meant one of these:

THIS EPISODE next doctor (David Tennant is the 9th incarnation, not including the three films, two with Peter Cushing (aka Grand Moff Tarkin in ANH) and that guy last decade Paul McGann) next 28 episodes

Nokia N91? I heard that dude, too ... how dare a publicly funded braodcaster try to undercut the livelihoods of all those starving British music producers living below the poverty line in the slums of Rio de Janerio. Shocking!

midlife crisis

No wonder he's so cantankerous, he's got 'roid rage ... look at those arms! If he isn't mainlining 20cc a week then I'm not looking at him ... who was that Mr Universe guy that dropped dead a week after his last competition with total renal shutdown? "They" said his liver glowed in the dark ... a couple fo years ago anyone remember?
