Wait... April 1st isn't for another three or four weeks. I don't believe it! This is ridiculous (ly awesome!)

Bear Mccreary does the music for the series, actually. He was mostly the one responsible for the rhythm tracks in the miniseries, as I recall. Perhaps we are thinking of different fusions. The series soundtrack only really makes use of traditional orchestral instruments very sparingly, and...

Hey, LOAF. I think I found a typo:

I like the new BSG show. It does a lot of things that haven't been done before, or aren't currently being done. Many of these things really tickle me where I like it. A great cataclysm with the survivors of humanity crammed into some space ships. It's like social science fiction. I have...

Agree, AD. I still want the show to have my babies... but season 2, post Resurrection Ship part 1 (2x12), has not delivered. The episodes are suffering from filleritis, trouble in the editing, and especially trouble in the writing. Perfect example: episode Black Market. It was bad... real...

Yeah, tons of stuff blows up in space in the second season. They gota bunch more money for that kind of stuff. The huge cloud of explosions that surrounds Galactica during the second season just about made me have an accident. Like, wow. The fireworks.

That's really ironic, because I am about fifteen hours into Pokemon Ruby on the DS. I think I'm going to go kill myself now.

As long as we're talking about Prophecy Advance... does anyone have any experience running it on the new Nintendo DS's? I acquired a DS recently, and just realized that I can play GBA games on it. Specifically... how does the multiplayer work with GBA games on the DS?

I'm sure Chuck Norris would disagree with you. And by disagree I mean roundhouse kick. rofl lawl

I still don't expect it. I haven't gotten to that part yet! And i'm pretty much totally joking too.

$%^#$! I'm just now playing through the XWA single player game. Now that this plot twist has been spoiled for me, I am going to uninstall it and go back to writing my name and Pioneer inside big hearts in my notebook.

The line "* 2668 - Frontiersmen Begin Encountering Kilrathi" looks like a typo on the year. 2628? I only mention it because that looks like some really good reference material.

I was making a comment on the nebulous nature of roleplaying games. What does the term roleplaying mean when applied to video and computer games? Is it really roleplaying if you play a fixed character on a fixed storyline? Is it really roleplaying if your character has no statistics like AC...

I'm not arguing that it isn't an FPS, I'm arguing that it is an RPG (whatever that means).

Deus Ex definitely doesn't fit well into any one box... but I think it's hard to argue that it isn't an RPG. You gain levels. You pick skills. You buy weapons/equipment. You play a character in a story. You choose how your character deals with situations. You affect how the story...

Fatcat linked to the Federation of American scientists, which is an excellent source for this kind of thing. The FAS link was to primary source material... a GAO report titled "B-2 Bomber: Cost to Complete 20 Aircraft Is Uncertain". A moron, OBVIOUSLY.

Hm, can we pretend that first texture never existed? Thanks. : D

Maybe it has something to do with how the lighting variables for the model are set. I only have an inch-deep understanding of what those variables do, and i use the same settings for all the models I play with. I suspect my lighting variables on the galaxy model remain unchanged.

I think I know what you're talking about. It seems to me this might be an issue with how the Vega Strike engine handles lighting, and not the model itself. Every model I've put into VS seems to have this effect. No idea if the switch to the ogre thing will have any impact.

I have to agree with the comments about the cockpit... there is a great possibilty to have a really cool looking miniaturized version of the galaxy's cockpit in there. Instead, all that is there is a crappy chair and a crappier textured hatch at the back. This is a holdover from when I did...
