Hey PhredBean, did you ever know that you're my hero? That Videolan program even runs on OS X!

Here's my attempt at coloring the other two. They could use some shading and highlighting and they lost some detail when I vectorised them but they should be a good start. If you're using photoshop for coloring I would stay away from the paint bucket. Color on a seperate layer w/ the...

Vampire Hunter-D? I have no clue.

The Matrix... There, I've said it.

Like this or this? If those companies aren't full of shit than those "previously more expensive forms of energy" are about to see a ten-fold slash in price. Not that I'm holding my breath, just crossing my fingers;)

Hey Alec, have you ever seen The Aristocrats? It's a documentary about some running joke that comedians tell each other. The point of the joke is to be as disgusting and vulgar as humanly possible. I think you'd appreciate George Carlin's version. Anyway, the best thing I could see coming out...

I don't really believe in heaven or hell. You sort-of cut that out of context. I would argue that Jesus wouldn't have condoned prejudice, yet it's clear that many people try to justify their prejudice with the Bible. I don't care if you hate "fags". I'm not even Christian. I'm just trying to...

I was being sarcastic on both counts. The Florida Supreme Court thing was a reference to the botched election in 2000. I'm not a big fan of the two-party system. Most Americans seem to think that every issue is one-dimensional (i.e. you're either for something or you're against it) and they...

At least the tyrant would have to be smart :wink:

Hiroshima and Chernobyl alone had a low impact on global climate. The Idea is that every nuclear detonation damages the ozone layer and a total nuclear war would severely deplete the ozone layer. I'm not sure if this "Nuclear Summer" climatic impact model was developed during the 50s but I'm...

That's what the Electoral College is suposedly for. The Florida Supreme Court also reserves the right to apoint the president in extraneous situations. Jeez! why don't you learn a little about our electoral system before you go bashing it :wink: Isn't two "multiple"? I mean really, how many...

You're pretty ambiguous about your philosophy. Isn't this the same kind of apathy that bugged you about your girlfriend? The problem is you keep asking what "good" something is i.e. The terms good and bad or evil are uselessly ambiguous. What good is life? You can't answer that question...

The internet could seriously do without this "zero" garbage. It isn't really all that creative. It's just a rip-off of 1337.

That's pretty impressive. All it needs now is some texture. Did you make that thing in Lightwave perchance?

This is a little off topic but 5 to 10 years is, by far, the most pessimistic figure I've heard for the oil crisis taking full effect. Can you cite any sources on that? (I'm not trying to debate with you. I'm just interested in where you got your numbers from) On topic: How would you go...

There's a very common misconception that high octane gasoline is "the good shit". Here's a pretty good article that explains what octane does.(you'll have to take the goofy 3rd person writting style with a grain of salt) The gist of the article is: the octane prescribed by your car's owners’...

Edit: I retract my previous statement Is there a consistent 50s SciFi view of how weather would be affected by nuclear war? I'm not familliar with much 50s post-apocalypse fiction but if there isn't anything written about the meteorological impact of a nuclear war then I don't see a conflict...

Sorry Lazarus. I like your idea alot, but I didn't mean to make it look like my own. I was using it as an example for turning on stat tracking by naming a gun. In retrospect, I should have quoted you. My bad. Weapon spacific perks are probably the way to go. I expanded on my previous ideas...

True. In a real p&p rpg the "trusty weapon" would be implemented by the GM (instead of any rule set) as a reward for good role-playing. A large draw back of Computer RPGs is there is no GM so anything that would otherwise be controlled by the GM has to be implemented via some mechanic. Weather...

Wow, I'm rather flattered that you consider my post "dangerous" Rosh. Even though you're convinced F3 is already doomed. Sometimes, you know, people like to role play instead of simply picking up the weapon with the biggest numbers associated with it's damage. It doesn't have to be some...
