Facts have nothing to do with it, but I think a movie makes it harder to take it seriously than the comic. Chick's vision is pretty sketchy even in abbreviated comic book form. In a move, I think it's going to look so incredibly far fetched from reality that people will see it as fiction rather...

It seems like it would be pretty easy to do. The D&D adaption of Diablo had a table for random generation of magic items. I think a similar table could be pretty easily made for Borderlands. The recoil thing also seems pretty simple. When making multiple attacks within the same round, the...

It doesn't really matter if it's intended to be a parody or not because Chick is so far out of touch that his vision is already a parody.

In my experience it can, but only if you have good form (good minimalist form). I've run over pavement while carrying weight (not something I recommend though). If you try running with bad form, even for relatively short distances, you can hurt yourself. On a related note, particularly for those...

Probably. I use mine for lifting, climbing, and occasionally as water shoes. In fact, I use them for the first two more often than I actually run in them.

I was skeptical until I tried running in them. I have had bad knees for many years now. Without these I'd be a lot worse off. They may not be for everyone but they definitely work for some of us.

I look at the make and model of the car. Some are known to be more reliable than others. There are several Honda vehicles that are on the top ten list for cars most likely to last beyond 200,000 miles. My own car is over 10 years old, has over 140,000 miles, and I do almost no maintenance on it...

It's a good thing none of them were wizards. Lives would have been lost.

Nope. There are some military or at least government-only schools that offer them but I actually got mine from a civilian college that caters mostly to military and first responders but is technically open to everyone.

Yep. I also have a degree in Counterterrorism. I've thought about getting my master's in Weapons of Mass Destruction.

Homeland Security. Where's this alcohol thread?

Nothing. Not that I haven't blown anything up lately, it just had nothing to do with my academic studies. I'll have to check out the beer thread.

The original Once Upon a Time was pretty good, although I'm not a fan of the new season so far (reset everything, basically all that came before this essentially doesn't matter). Wonderland hasn't impressed me. My daughter and I eventually gave up on it. The story just isn't as engaging. Also...

So I'm finally back after a bit of a break. I finished the last class I needed for my degree and I started making my own wine and cider (I've got my second batch of each going now).

It strikes me as being too soon but I'll probably check it out.

I've been watching it. I think it's a pretty good show.

Yeah, I liked that too. Along with the nukes. For some reason, a lot of sci-fi seems to completely ignore nukes as if the discover of laser pistols suddenly means we no longer want to destroy things on a large scale.

Our currency, our government, and our society all work on mutual agreement. A few dissidents here and there and it still tends to work out ok, but if enough people stop playing, it collapses. It doesn't matter if you're talking gold, paper currency, bitcoins, or chickens, it has the value we...

It is interesting but I don't think I could recommend getting the channel just for that show. Starz really doesn't have much going for it. I got it when Spartacus was on. I only have it now because it came free as part of some package deal.
