Old Man

And here I thought I was being funny. Turns out it really is that ridiculous.

Shouldn't that be "Das sine, das cosine, das tangent"? Unless trig is inherently feminine? (Which it may be, I understand each equally poorly.)

I too am concerned. We're living in a golden age of mainstream supers and fantasy, but I'm afraid it's a bubble that has to burst sometime. That said, the state of superhero movies was covered on NPR's Marketplace a couple weeks back. The two biggest takeaways that I got from that are one, movie studios are owned by megacorps that don't understand or care about moviemaking, and two, that movies must do well globally in order to turn a profit, especially in China. Both of these forces contribute to an environment that supports low-risk, low-brow, big-budget action movies. This is good if you like superheroes or are Michael Bay, but the downside is that people have to get tired of supers sometime. That schedule I posted is pretty dense.

Here we go again. Perhaps I'll just go ahead and have the nervous breakdown this time.

Who are the schoolgirl uniforms for, exactly?

Are the Vancouveroids in IT? How does their departure affect you?

Westerns (mostly mundane) Special Forces (Danger Int) (very briefly) Star Hero, on an approximately Alien Legion power level--somewhere between Traveller and full space opera, with many aliens Cyberpunk Dark Sun Generic AD&D Extremely low powered fantasy (converted players to Hero stats...when I say "low powered" I mean it) High-powered Kung Fu/Wu Xia Low-powered Kung Fu/Oriental Adventures Martial dueling tournaments cf. Mortal Kombat Low-powered Supers (Dark Champions) "Mystery" Supers (Players don't see character sheets) Typical 250-275 pt. Champions Supers

I actually think this was intentional, and brilliant. Disavantages are a key feature of the superhero genre, but how do you get players to cripple their own characters and not complain? Bribe them with points, of course. Yes, objectively, a character with no disads isn't likely to be balanced compared to one that's gone up to the point cap. But a character with no disads is a poor example of the genre and should be discouraged anyway.

What is Cancer's fixation with tentacles and hentai?

CLEAR YOUR SCHEDULES

Of course, I don't have a case of the Mondays. I have a keg. Or a pallet.

Haven't you had it up to the gills with the fish references? Don't you think we should scale them back?

Wouldn't that be an improvement?

Here he'd have been shot. Depending on his skin color.

That's pretty cool, though I wonder what you're gonna do with the sub if you catch it.

Best I can find is this: This Iranian 20mm version comes up when I search for the Maadi-Griffin. Seems like a similar device. Vid of it being fired. http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2013/03/07/irans-new-arash-20mm-shoulder-fired-anti-material-rifle-with-barrett-bors-clone/

Or a sauce? Perhaps even a bisque?

You want to jump this? No, right?

I'm skeptical, but it would be nice if true. I can't find any detailed articles online but just looking at the diagrams that I can find, I don't see how it could possibly work. You can't put a superconducting magnet inside the plasma chamber, and what's stopping the neutron flux?

Are we just casting about now? Reel-ly?

From what I understand Australian citizenship is assured if you pay off-- I mean, invest millions of dollars in the private sector there. Not that they're the only country that does that.

What are you bassing that question on? Might someone have a poor sense of humor, perch-ance?
