The only thing I can ever remember reading that is close to this epic, was the Lensman saga. Where they were throwing planets and anti-matter planets at each other. I'm amazed at how Sepulchrave manages to keep things going at this power level. My highest level campaign fell apart in the high...

You know you can edit the title, just click on edit for the first post, then you click on advanced and the title should show up as editable.

If you get IFC (Independent Film Channel) there's the IT Crowd. About the trials and travails of the IT people at a company. It has enshrined "Did you turn it off and on again." as the first law of tech support at my company. If you have never seen "Coupling" it's one of the funniest shows...

Once you hit the level cap, you can pick up 1000 g in a shockingly short period of time doing dailies. It's possible to easily make 300-400 gold in a day doing them.

Well it looks like TV Tropes.org will have to put a new base definition in for Wall Banger. George Lucas is currently photoshoping them to "improve" things... You did want more ewoks in them right?

Well Robot Jox and stuff like the Power Rangers aren't powered armor/exo-skeletons, but if you're just looking for live action mecha movies. There's about a metric ton of sentai shows featuring mecha of one sort or another. They are going to be your most prevalent source by far. Gunhed is the...

Gundam 0083 Stardust Memory has some great mecha, terrific soundtrack and a fairly good plot (goes kinda into lala land in the last ep though). Gundam ZZ you might want to track down fan subs for. The first half of the series is not very interesting slapstick, but the second half is much better...

I would check out these threads. http://www.enworld.org/forum/media-lounge/241162-manga-anime-recommendations.html http://www.enworld.org/forum/media-lounge/207469-anime-recommendations.html http://www.enworld.org/forum/media-lounge/201886-point-me-anime.html It has a bunch of manga...

Given the range on Blade Barrier and the teleport ability, tossing those out and then porting away can make for a hellaciously difficult encounter in an semi open area like say a village, unless they have some extra ordinary movement abilities or ranged damage dealing. It is a CR 17 encounter...

She went by both names. I forget when/why she changed, but she used both. Black Racer was the name of the New God you're thinking of. He was essentially the angel of death, who came to claim the souls of the new gods who had died.

Well what is it you want the computer to do for you? FWIW, the problem with most tier one vendors is that they often use non-standard parts. One of the most common things to die on a computer is the power supply. With a "white box" computer you can just go to the corner computer store and pick...

Not quite, MS is a big believer in trying to force you to use other products of theirs in order to use what ever you've actually bought, in order to lock you into their stuff as much as possible. So they are trying to force you to use and install GFW in order to use the DLC for Fallout 3 on...

I remember it quite well and it was very popular among my crowd in HS. Also the budget for your typical SF channel movie is AFAIK about $1-2 million. So it's a substantially increased budget vs one of them. But as Roger Ebert once said "It is a curious attribute of camp that it can only be...

Installing XP Pro on to a new HD, is the most certain method of resolving this and keeping your files. You might even want to unhook the old drive until after you have formatted and installed the new HD, just so there isn't any danger of accidentally installing it onto the wrong HD. This should...

What do you mean by "not your typical origin". You need to be more specific about that. There's loads of characters who get their powers from human technology.

David Drake is the king of Military SF, IMHO, when he's good he's great, when he's not he tends to suck. Forlorn Hope is probably his best book. It's sort of kinda set in his "Hammer's Slammer's" Universe. It's about a band of mercs that get betrayed and have to fight their way out. Of his...

Alien, Robots who don't pretend to be or look human are pretty much non-existant outside of maybe some of the bad guys.

The key phrase being "IN MY LINE OF WORK". As I pointed out in the section you didn't quote, it's a lot easier and there's a much stronger incentive to humor people, IF your living depends on it. Glen Cook's does not and hasn't. How tolerant are you when some one starts bothering you outside...

Iczer One (and Two and three) are androids of some sort. The english dub for the original three OVAs (Fight! Iczer One!) is pretty excruciatingly bad though. The later series are ... not as good. They are the only ones I can think of off hand though. It's possible that some of the Sentai...

My point was that someone who makes their living doing X, is more inclined to pander to the sensibilities of the masses that support them. You'd never see "Crewman #5, from episode 27 of Galaxy Quest" doing a "Get a life" speech, while Shattner who had plenty of money and other series/roles he...
