Ever read The Scar? Build giant chain. Summon giant whale. Attach chain to whale, hold on tight.

Hey now. At various times Buffy had robots, cyborgs, an Internet monster, ray guns, hacking, and psychic powers. Hell, Angel had ROBOT NINJAS.

I think you've hit on something here. Most of the folks I know who love Cowboy Bebop would not describe themselves as "anime fans". A lot of people seem to think I'm an anime nut, but I'm secretly bored to tears by 99% of it. However, Cowboy Bebop was so accessible I almost think maybe it was...

It's an abomination! Burn it, I say!

I loved the characters: impoverished, undignified but never quite desperate. The shows were pretty self-contained; I loved that, generally speaking, you could watch the episodes in pretty much any order and still enjoy it. It had very good voice acting in the English dubbed version. It had...

"Hi, I'm Terry O'Quinn. You might remember me from such projects as 'Millennium' and 'The Stepfather'". Peter Watts on Millennium ruled.

So does it come right out and say that or at least hint as much? That's the tidbit I've really got to know.

Yeah, Keanu's about as Lebanese as Britney Spears is. I was born on a farm but that doesn't make me a cow. I guess it would be too far out for Hollywood to cast, I don't know, umm, an ACTUAL MIDDLE EASTERNER as Sinbad?

Okay Eosin (or whoever else has read it), I need a big fat spoiler for a project I'm working on. Basically, I need to know whether Anyone who helps me on this will get something special. And no, I can't wait until the movie comes out to find out; I gotta know now!

"We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a saltshaker half-full of cocaine, and a whole multi colored collection of uppers, downers, laughers, screamers... Also, a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw...

All I know is, on the day your plane was to leave, if I had the power, I would turn the winds around, I would roll in the fog, I would bring in storms, I would change the polarity of the earth so compasses couldn't work, so your plane couldn't take off. - Harris Telemacher (Steve Martin) from...

Besides the obvious ones everyone has frothed over, like DKR, Year One and Killing Joke, I will nominate The Long Halloween for "new classic" status. It's one of those mysteries, much like the film The Usual Suspects, that you'll want to go back and read again once you're done to see how it all...

Without prying too much, how was it affecting him psychologically? I've had an undiagnosed* case of sleep apnea for years, but this is the first I've heard of it causing anything but purely physical symptoms. *My girlfriend says she hears me stop breathing for awhile in my sleep. That...

Little help? I heard for several days that the line of mourners in the Vatican could be seen from space. Anyone have a link to an actual image of this? I've tried Google Image Search, all the usual suspects, and I couldn't find anything.

I think the whole "Corporation as BBEG" trope is played out. I always hated how monolithic evil is in cyberpunk RPGs. I think lots of smaller, petty evils might work better. I'm not saying ditch the Evil CEO's entirely, just make them one part of a nasty machine conspiring to make the world a...

She's 23. Practically an antique :].

Hey, quit playing God!

Yeah, I believe it was brought back during the Carter administration as an energy conservation scheme. Less night hours mean less electricity being used for lights. However, it seems to me that whatever's being saved in light usage is being consumed by having to run air conditioners longer in...

WTF? Sorry in advance if I'm derailing the conversation here, but where do you live? As for my taxes, the IRS and the State of California are sucking up a couple hundred of my bucks. I'm probably going to have to cut myself off from D20 buys for a month or so.

PSS is a bit of a slog through the first half but picks up steam mightily after that. The Scar came out a bit ahead of PSS for me, in that there was a tighter focus on the characters, the neato ideas had more to do with the plot, and the pacing was a bit better. And really, PSS has one of the...
