Rare squids need to hunted and killed for the black pigment extracted from their ink. Understandable.

I told myself I wasn't gonna do it but I watched the first episode anyway. It's all right. There are still too many story lines and a couple of new ones but the main focus was on the vampires. A lot of secondary story lines seem to be wrapping up so if they stay with the fangs I'll continue...

From the linked wiki article: Ridley Scott said "NASA and the Vatican agree that [it is] almost mathematically impossible that we can be where we are today without there being a little help along the way" Can I get a citation up in here? Did NASA say this?

Good article Water Bob. While it does add a little depth to the movie it doesn't take away from a lot of the criticism leveled against it. On the Med Pod. It's not made exclusively for men, this unit was simply calibrated for them. Which probably has less to do with the physiological...

This was my thinking as wel. The Engineers were using us as weapons to fight another species or perhaps other members of the same species.

I watched it for a second time and I have some new insights into this flick. It's not a horror or a thriller but an action movie which is light on action. I said before that it was too bright and I read somewhere that the brightness has to be cranked up for 3D because otherwise it would be too...

They don't make the aliens directly, they make some kind of biological weapon which, as one of its effects, can create a facehugger type thing, which makes an alien-esque creature. What I don't quite understand is if they created us humans, why they then try to wipe us out (at least, that's the...

Do they choose the banhammers or do the banhammers choose them?

When they gave Tyrion the axe it looked to me like they were giving him a pick and I thought to myself: Really? A pick? For a dwarf? But it turned out to be less comical, thankfully. I'm hoping for some happy endings in Sansa making it to Winterfell and Tyrion having his father express his...

Yeah, maybe they visited, maybe the Engineers were artistic or maybe the information was coded into our DNA. I'm still not entirely sure the Engineer dying in the beginning was volunteering himself. I'm working on a convoluted theory that says he was volunteered. I'll get back to you on that...

A couple years ago I made a thread ( http://www.enworld.org/forum/media-lounge-miscellaneous-geek-topics/266325-johnny-cash.html ) asking for help with a Johnny Cash playlist for my dad and now I'm back for suggestions for a new playlist. This one's for myself. I like listening to the songs...

With all the bad things I have to say about the movie, I cannot stress how well done the positives are. From the visuals to the acting, those things alone made it worth it for me. Pardon the Heath Ledger fanboyness but Fassbender's rendition of an early AI is as powerful as Ledger's rendition...

1.) It looks like the humans painted them. They seem to be done in the style of the various cultures where they were found. 2.) As I understand it after the first viewing I think the plan was to grant Weyland immortality and for David to find out a way how to make that happen. I does seem...

Are banhammers given out when a promising recruit applies or is it a graduation gift/privilege? Do they grow in power with every use or do they simply become more powerful after time?

Thanks for all the suggestions guys. I think we've got all the colors covered ;). I can't really do metallic colors. I use a laserprinter and while there are CMYK values for silver and gold it's not particularly shiny. What about iconic images? What would be the single defining image of each...

Spoilers ahead. I enjoyed this movie but not for the reasons I thought I would. I understood, going into it, that it wasn't going to be an 'Alien' movie. It was an adventure dealing with the origin of our species and of the aliens we see in earlier films. But with all the connections made...

These cards are for a side campaign we're doing using the essentials rules. The campaign involves the adventurers hired by our main party. They don't really have a background and given the lethality of this smaller campaign we're using class cards instead of individualized player cards. I do...

A couple of things. I forgot to mention that the art is not mine*. I scour the internet looking for cool pictures and then adapt them. I hope no-one is bothered by this. About the colors. It's funny you mention WoW because I picked blue because the Lordaeron guards have a lot of blue in...

Mornin' everyone, I'm making initiative cards for our DM to slide across his screen to show the order of combat and I'm in need of some creative help. The first batch I made looked cool but they were all completely different. Each player had a picture that he thought would look good. But it...

That's funny. Throughout the movie I kept thinking, "if only the lead was a little less douche".
