    Gundam 00 Monday night (11/24) at 11 pm on SF Channel

    Oh there's nothing wrong with SEED, it was just kind of tiresome watching them re-tread MS Gundam yet again as half the characters and situations were straight out of the original series. If you'd never seen the original though, it wouldn't bother you. 00 does seem to be it's own beast though.

    Gundam 00 Monday night (11/24) at 11 pm on SF Channel

    It's the new gundam series that started broadcasting last year. Hopefully the SF channel will treat it better than the Cartoon Network has the other gundam series. What? Stop laughing! (would have been nice if they'd bothered to mention when it was going to start)

    Tennant to Quit as Dr Who

    The Master was established as not being on Galifray when it was destroyed and AFAIK not even involved in the war with the Daleks. I think he was in hiding at the time. But when you are dealing technology that's essentially magic and can do what ever the scriptwriter wants (that the SFX budget...

    Suggestions for the best Strategy games

    I have heard good things about Galactic Civilizations II, if you're looking for some MOO style turn based 4E games. http://www.galciv2.com/ UFO : Extraterrestrials is supposed to be a good update of X-Com for modern computers. UFO:EXTRATERRESTRIALS - tactical and RPG Ufo styled strategy game

    Overwhelmed, please help with reading material.

    (contact) did eventually post about this and he basically said that things "had not gone well" for our heroes in the final confrontation or on the route to it. So there's not an official end to the SH, but it is essentially over.

    Aeon (updated 10/9/14)

    Epic is too feeble a description for this campaign.

    Would you allow this paladin in your game? (new fiction added 11/11/08)

    It doesn't, but Sir Galahad (of King Arthur's tales) who's one of the main sources for the paladin class, was chaste. So that plus the general attitude of "sex is bad" combined with the "lawful uptight" paradigm many people subscribe to leads many people to assume that sex is forbidden.

    IT Crowd - 10 pm Tuesdays on IFC

    They are making a 3rd season, in fact in the the Register (brit tech website) a few months back, they had a contest to help decorate the IT room. In fact in only a little under 2 more weeks season 3 starts!!! (Well at least according to wiki). Unfortunately, apparently Richmond won't be joining...

    Fallout 3 - Today's the day!

    Yes and my point was that when you are trying to get the same piece of software to work on wildly differing platforms, it's never going to be as reliable as when you can target it to a specific platform. Things that cause bugs on one, won't on others and something that works fine, might crash...

    Fallout 3 - Today's the day!

    Er, since when have the PC, PS3 and 360 all had identical hardware? It is a cross platform game after all. So actually they do have to deal with not only different hardware, but wildly differing programing environments. Also the current generation of consoles is orders of magnitude more...

    Shilsen's Eberron SH (Finished - The Last Word : 9/20/15)

    We do not mention that name. Why will nobody ever fill out our survey?

    Fallout 3 - Today's the day!

    The lasers also seem to have a very high crit rate and more devastating crits when they happen (IE. instant death disintegration). The mini-gun is awesome when firing if you have a good subwoofer. Want to get that last bit of loot home? Drink a beer to bump your str by a point, then you can...

    Airships in the media

    Probably "TailSpin".

    Airships in the media

    They show up quite prominently in Phil Foglio's Girl Genius. Castle Wulfenbach is a giant airship. IIRC the season finale of Venture Brothers Season 3 featured an airship in a flashback. The video game "Skies of Arcadia" features one.

    Would you allow this paladin in your game? (new fiction added 11/11/08)

    If you liked it that much, don't forget Shil has a story hour, linked in his sig and mine. If you enjoyed this, then give it a try. Not only is it stranger than you imagine. It's probably stranger than you can imagine. Note: The first couple of write ups are essentially just his notes on what...

    Fallout 3 - Today's the day!

    I had this problem too, until I started making heavier use of my Pip Boy Maps. Checking them more often and noting what direction I was pointed in on the map and in character quickly got me much better sense of direction and location.

    Fallout 3 - Today's the day!

    They are quite the bastards, kid could have mentioned they were literal FIRE ants. Never having played Oblivion, I can't comment on it's Oblivion-y-ness, but it is feeling like an old Fallout friend.

    Tennant to Quit as Dr Who

    Yeah the doctor will come out and "Shoot" the camera with his sonic screwdriver as the tunnel effect starts up.

    City of Heroes coming out for Mac

    When it does finally get released, let me know what server you're playing on. It's always nice to at least know someone in a MMORG. Unfortunately all my IRL friends have already burned out on CoH.

    LCD monitor with a single DVI-D input, multiple nightmares... any advice?

    Why aren't you hooking up the computer via the VGA input and the xbox via the HDMI/DVI? I know you loose some image quality doing that, but it is cheap and doesn't involve any further expenses.
