    Your Trek?

    BK, I bet you're the kind of guy who stands up during a comedian's set and yells out "Hey! I like airplane food!" :D F'real, I gotta go with "Wrath of Khan" as the grabber. I'm all about the Montalban. But if I had to pick a best ST film, it'd most likely by "Undiscovered Country". It...

    Your Trek?

    Final Frontier. They photon torpedoed God. 'Nuff said.

    About Daylight Saving Time . . .

    Join me now in a resounding BOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I hate DST. Whose congressman do I have to write to to get rid of this crap?

    Yoda breaks it down

    I bought a domain...

    I've been very happy with the service I've received from www.lunarpages.com, who host Wicked Machine for me. Approx. $8 a month for 3 gigs of webspace, 100 gigs/month transfer, unlimited MySQL databases. Pretty sweet.

    Help me plan my SW marathon

    Like a good Star Wars geek, I'll be picking up my copy of the RotS DVD this coming Tuesday, just as soon as I knock off work. I'd get it sooner if it weren't for my dang job. But I need the work to support my Star Wars habit! It's a vicious cycle, I know. Anyway, Wednesday I start my 11 day...

    Movies that made an impression on me

    Irony! More irony! And probably the filmmaker's intention, too. Well that's awfully glib. What I took from the ending was: Narrator could not move forward with his life without ridding himself of Tyler. He could not rid himself of Tyler without letting go of his fears and anxieties (which...

    Smallville "Vampires" *spoilers*

    I heard "Sausalito", just across the Golden Gate from San Francisco.

    Movies that made an impression on me

    Many of the others listed above, but I'll single out Fight Club for making me see the world in a very different way when it was over. It made me think a lot about materialism and the things people do to make themselves happy, and what it means to be a man in a world that increasingly doesn't...

    Fireball or Lightning Bolt?

    Nope. You've made the right choice, but for the wrong reason. From the SRD:

    Fireball or Lightning Bolt?

    Let's say you can only have one or the other for your character. Which do you go with? For me, I know Fireball has it all over Lightning Bolt in sheer game mechanics (20' spread and 400'+ range vs. 120' range line), but stylistically I dig the thunderbolt. Something very primal about it, the...

    Want *SPOILER* for Flightplan

    If Trancejeremy were some bystander on the street talking loudly, you'd have a point. I can't avoid a loud guy. But I didn't expect to walk into a Flightplan thread and read a spoiler for a completely different movie, one I'd been meaning to see for a while. That's just crappy netiquette. I...

    Want *SPOILER* for Flightplan

    Well, thanks for ruining that movie for me. :mad:

    What was your largest/longest single combat?

    I opened my campaign a couple years ago in media res with a pitched battle. The PCs were part of a conscripted army defending a border town from an invading army of gnolls and orcs led by a half-black dragon. I designed my own mass combat system that borrowed liberally from the old Legend of...

    Books from "The Onion"

    http://www.midstateoffice.com/ Heh heh. I think if you're a subscriber to the website you get access to the Kornfeld homepage with all of his articles, plus some bonus content. Otherwise you'd have to go through a half-dozen books and whatever the website serves up for free, and you still...

    Speed of Light question

    Possibly. I know that time slows to a crawl if you have to spend a weekend in Fontana, CA.

    Books from "The Onion"

    I believe "Our Dumb Century" was the only book with all original material that hadn't been on the website. That said, the "Ad Nauseum" compilation books are great for people like me who only read the website once in a while. Plus, I think they contain everything that was in the print edition...

    Good movies that have bad DVDs?

    Mine's worse, although that's pretty egregious. I have the "Official Bootleg Edition" (there's like a dozen different versions of AoD - collect 'em all!) which has the alternate "Rip Van Winkle" ending, with the original ending completely expunged. This alternate ending would be fine and all...

    Fast Food Weakness

    In-N-Out's burgers are teh yummy, but their lame fries are their fatal flaw. Limp, oily and mealy. We finally got a Fatburger franchise up here and I'm quite impressed. You can get anywhere from a reasonably-sized 1/3 lb. Fatburger to a coronary-inducing 1 lb. Double Kingburger, their fries...
