    So this how Star Wars vs. Star Trek will go.

    General consensus among the Versus subculture (yes, it exists) is that, while Stargate is basically all over the place as far as power-levels (everything from orbital bombardment doing about as much damage as modern hand-grenades to Teraton-level Naquadah bombs blowing up continents) the Empire...

    So this how Star Wars vs. Star Trek will go.

    http://www.stardestroyer.net/Empire/Essays/FiveMinutes.html Read the rest of the site if you're bored and feeling incredibly nerdy but with a desire for math and curbstomps. And please don't send an e-mail mentioning 'lasers can't penetrate navigational shields' or 'transporters for the win'...

    Sharing the Wealth (or not)

    Yeah, fuck them hobos, I know plenty of businesses willing to hire crack addicts without fixed addresses or proof of identity.

    Sharing the Wealth (or not)

    Loyalists fleeing the American Revolution. The Underground Railroad. The Irish exodus. The Somalian exodus. East Asian waves. There. That's 5 "mass immigrant waves of the poor and the destitute". And your precious Civil War? How about 1776? How about 1812, when we were fighting for our very...

    Heres what I don't get.

    Hmm... That's actually a pretty cool idea. From here on out in my reality James was a Navarro deserter who arrived in Washington along with that Brandice guy, and this is all, um, implied in-game. Because as it stands pretty much everything in the MQ is pretty limp, to put it politely.

    Sarcasm, dear boy.

    Sharing the Wealth (or not)

    Yes, I've been to Germany, and they certainly never had a problem with racism before the Arabs started coming, so very true. Yes, I've been to Paris, where there certainly aren't riots every summer or so and wine-makers are certainly not turning to domestic terrorism, and Italy, where the...

    Dog meat is useless, Giant Radscorpian on the otherhand...

    Hm... Some perks already unlock new dialogue options... So would it be too hard with the GECK to modify the second rank of Animal Friend to allow you to keep up to one animal at a time as a 'pet' and port over the AI and commands for Dogmeat to any pet?

    Your Favorite Non-Player Character (is there any?) /spoilers

    President Eden. Best Voice-acting in the game, some of the best writing in his radio broadcasts.

    Sharing the Wealth (or not)

    Yes, those crappy European hospitals, where the poor don't have a third-world infant death rate and chronic medical conditions can't bankrupt a middle-class family.

    Sharing the Wealth (or not)

    Yes, I have witnessed the horrific, decimated wasteland of Europe, where good health, personal freedom, and order run rampant! The corrupting influence of the Europeans will destroy our values of squalor and greed! Young fry of villainy! Oh, and 'interpersonal comparisons of ultility cannot...

    Thanksgiving: Count your blessings about FO3

    * You can sell children into slavery. * Even the DC Superfriends BoS is portrayed a bit as a pack of dicks. * Ghouls not dumbed down. * Repair system is a basically good idea. * No wiki-links dialogue.

    Sharing the Wealth (or not)

    Optimally society, a Human construct, should be used to maximally increase the quality of life/ happiness/ survival rate among its participants, right?* I'll assume that was a nod of approval. If not, you may be confusing me for a Theocrat or a Nihilist. They get their own special room...

    Why is no one talking about the Watchmen trailer?

    As far as Nite Owl II: Apparently the actor, Patrick Wilson, gained about 40 pounds for the role. Not muscle. 40 pounds of fat. I think that says all that needs to be said about the film keeping Dreiberg as a pudgy has-been, if the new trailer with his goofy hair and glasses doesn't say...

    A suitible alternative to vampirism

    What's wrong with The Family? Cannibals who dress themselves up in pre-Apoc mythic lore in order to be feared rather than merely reviled. Seems like a pretty cool idea really. Why replace that with anything? If you want a quest to turn someone into a Ghoul/ Super-Mutant/ Alfred Lord Tennyson...
