  1. It's true, it's true.
  2. Don't hug them with gunpowder?
  3. They are pretty huggable.
  4. " Ancient Aliens " that stuff will rot your brains and make you start believing in conspiracy theories That's what the aliens WANT you to believe. Drop your brainwashing, dude, THEY ARE OUT THERE and they DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW IT!
  5. Maybe start a thread titled "What do you know about Reptoids"? RE: The link - you mean to tell me when talking about Reptillian creatures in science fiction and you bring up Star Trek you're going to mention the Cardassians and not THE FRICKIN' GORN?????!!!!! W. T. H. ?
  6. So, I found Nick Valentine and freed him from imprisonment. Note to Self: I think he's watched one too many Bogart films. He's agreed to help me find Shaun! Note to Self: Which is better than the alternative, I freed him and he was all "whatever". We plunged into the mind of Hubby's killer to find answers Note to Self: Exploring the past, it seems that Mr. Killer was an ass and got his family killed. Guess he decided to make that his vocation? Afterwards, we needed some recuperation time. Note to Self: During my recuperation time, Curie began talking about needing to better interface with the world...guess I could talk to Doc Amari...
  7. He said couldn't have done it. Which leaves three basic interpretations 0) They pitched to Disney, not EA. Seems unlikely though, since everyone knew about the exclusivity deal with EA 1) They pitched to EA, but EA is contractually obligated not to subcontract Star Wars titles and he found out about that after leaving 2) They pitched to EA, but EA has a directive not to subcontract any titles to external studios and he found out about that after leaving 3) Bioware/ someone else is already making Kot(O)R so a pitch was pointless, and he found out about that after leaving IIRC (and I may not because, honestly, I don't pay much attention to this stuff) Obsidian/Fergus indicated they planned to pitch/pitched KotOR to Disney before the EA deal was announced. So my (totally baseless) speculation (based on vague wording that everyone interprets differently) is Disney were already working on/finalizing the deal (or had but hadn't announced finalizing it) with EA when Obs pitched so Disney wasn't in a position to approve such a pitch OR Disney plonking everything in LEGENDS but the films and TV cartoons with no plans to continue any of that stuff meant they weren't ever in the market to do more KotOR so the pitch was pointless regardless of the EA deal.
  8. I confess, I barely listen to the radio station this time around.
  9. Personally I don't think Bethesda's games are really RPGs in the right sense. But I long ago classed Bethesda games as their own entity. They are Bethesda Games and they do Bethesda Game stuff.
  10. But so far they haven't been in buildings when I put in feed troughs. We'll see if it lasts.
  11. I was finding Brahmin in the standing buildings in Sanctuary!
  12. Brahmin randomness is held down by putting brahmin feed stations in (cured my Brahmin-in-my-house problem).
  13. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them:
  14. So far its just a test pattern (hooked up my old TV set. 200+ years old and still working - that's craftmanship!)
  15. In the "A Man with Fleas is Never Truly Alone" category, as long as the internet is available and one person is reading what you post, you're never truly alone. Doesn't exactly give me much in the way of conversation... Get a voice reading software to dictate your posts and read others back to you? I really got no serious answers.
  16. Do you have enough settlers working the food? After so many planted foods, you'll need another person to work the food.
  17. Instead of figuring out new ways to lose, it looks like the Falcons just decided to give up competing entirely.
  18. I dunno, its a teaser; I'll reserve judgement for the proper trailer. That said, I did laugh at the McCoy and Spock surrounded bit.
  19. Teaser for Star Trek Beyond?
  20. In the "A Man with Fleas is Never Truly Alone" category, as long as the internet is available and one person is reading what you post, you're never truly alone.
  21. Never been over-fond of Wilde's poetry (although I suppose I should give it another chance, I think I have a collection somewhere - it and a thesaurus should see me through), but by Jove was the man quotable. "Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go."
  22. The Raven By Edgar Allan Poe. I won't dispute that Poe had many an issue, but I've always thought his use of words - repetition, alliteration, etc - in the Raven was superb. .
  23. I just LOVE that quote Alum. I am so stealing this one. Hanlon's Razor, IIRC. J. Porter Clark has a corollary "any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice". Goethe had a similar statement back in the 1700s "...misunderstandings and neglect create more confusion in this world than trickery and malice. At any rate, the last two are certainly much less frequent." Bernard Ingram may have said it best though: "Many journalists have fallen for the conspiracy theory of government. I do assure you that they would produce more accurate work if they adhered to the ****-up theory." And finally a last thought from Alexander Dumas (fils): "I prefer rogues to imbeciles, because rogues sometimes rest."
