There was a short lived TV series on the Sci-Fi channel, produced a year or two back. Are you thinking of that or something newer? There is never a point to skipping a book because a movie version is coming out (novelizations of a movie are a different matter though). At best it will do things...

And a merry slightly-warmed-over-pagan-winter-solstice-festival to you too!

For god's sake then don't go within 20' of a Robert Jordan novel...

The error message isn't specific, but it is possible that they may be "region coding" things, so if you have a non-"German" version of GTA IV, that they might be blocking you on that basis.

Well the "twins" have just suffered an unfortunate accident, but as you will find out The Power of Suck, cuts both ways...

In Hero system, there essentially is no mechanical difference between blasting someone with a plasma gun, or a PSI energy bolt or a beam of mystic energy. There are different types of attacks (Vs Physical, Vs Energy, Vs Ego, Drain, transform, etc...), but none of them are restricted to a...

Champions/Hero System is pretty much tailor made for this sort of thing. Since I think you are talking about superheroic level characters and it is an almost infinitely flexible system in terms of achieving various effects. You just vary the disadvantages and or come up with some "packages" for...

According to an Advertising Age article (FWIW), apparently emotionally powerful brands like Apple (and Harley Davidson, etc...) tend to activate the same areas of the brain that activate in devout christians exposed to faith-related triggers. "Repent Sinner! Cast out DOS from your heart! Reject...

This isn't a spoof, it's a re-creation. The Mythbusters finally had to resort to using two tracked APCs before they could pull apart the interleaved phone books they were using in their exploration of the Myth. Even then it was a failure of the paper in the books that ripped apart. The join...

So have the hostage be subject to Hold Person or have been rendered unconscious by subdual damage. There are a number of ways of rendering a character helpless. Stat drains could also work. Both Str or Dex, when drained to zero render the person helpless and immobile. Another thought would be...

I think what is happening is they are trying to get you to go from analog cable to digital cable. Digital cable basically means you need a cable box, since they have fought tooth and nail any way of letting TVs or devices not need one (It's not quite this simple, but those are the basics of...

If it was an actual "Upgrade" copy of windows, then you would need to install the original version of windows and then use the upgrade disk. However, AFAIK there was never an "upgrade" version of Windows 2000 for use with W98. So that should be a "full" copy of windows 2000, that you can...

Boot Disk is another name for your Windows CD. If you don't have one of those, then you will need to buy a copy first. Computers from the big manufacturers (HP/Dell/etc...) often have a customized windows/installation CD. Typically with a lot of junk software (most often "trial" versions)...

Nuking the computer from orbit (ie. reinstalling) IS the only way to be sure, but you might find this thread useful. http://www.enworld.org/forum/software-computers-video-games-d-d-utilities/241326-advice-getting-rid-virus.html Malwarebytes is a good suggestion. I have found it useful.

Actually since the switch to the intel platform, you can build your own mac. InsanelyMac Forum -> Buying Thoughts, Reviews, and Recommendations You can't do it with the full range of PC hardware and it can involve a lot of work to make it work, but if you really like to pick your own...

For Luna with a bead of Karma running (+4 caster levels) that's a 800' radius (1600' diameter) area, with the winds cranked up to 175 mph and IIRC we had a "fortune" card that let us step up the severity of the weather a notch... The army never stood a chance. We had initially planned on...

That's just crazy talk. We can't possibly do that until we're well into epic levels. Currently we could only manage that if we went en mass, hopefully with some friendly NPCs for backup.

I like a local roast "Torreo Guatemalan". I've found the Blue Mountain Coffee (especially from Empire Coffee in NYC) to be very good. If you ever see Blue Mountain Coffee in a sack cloth bag, avoid it like the plague though. It's awful and I think it has to be the dregs of the beans they pawn...

It's accurate for the movie, not the short story. Pinhead was not a nazi, he was clearly shown in the second movie in a british officer's uniform.

The point of the early battles in 00 is the same as in the early battles in Wing and the early battles in CG. Namely to establish what badasses the heroes and their mechs are. So that when they start having trouble later on it helps to establish how badass their opposition is. They're not...
