    Navy Railgun Tests Leading to Ship Superweapon by 2020

    No, I'm not talking about relativistic speeds obviously. I'm talking about how g-forces build in the warhead projectile which will be concentrated, along with all other relevant forces against a very small area. I'm talking about the g-forces, along with all of the other forces, that are...

    Navy Railgun Tests Leading to Ship Superweapon by 2020

    It's a high acceleration kinetic weapon. In addition to all of the other forces being employed to project the weapon and traveling with the warhead, the projectile is dragging gravity and the accumulated g-forces with the projectile. Nothing solid wants to get hit by that because it will...

    Hitches blamed over CERN's 'faster-than-light' claim.

    That's amazing EM. My principal was also named Heisenberg and he told me in no uncertain terms that he once saw Chuck Norris punch a man back to life by knocking him into yesterday. Coincidences like that make me think there are no coincidences.

    Hitches blamed over CERN's 'faster-than-light' claim.

    If CERN creates a solar powered cold fusion mini-black hole I'd like to see the Beatles re-unite somewhere about the time of the Italian Renaissance, and the Ultimates take over from the New Avengers. I just feel the Ultimates are a better match for the post-post-post-pre-modern world. But I...

    How was the civil war not about slavery?

    I don't take it personally. But I am also certain of the type of person I am. I've been in situations where my morals were tested. Dangerous, even deadly situations. I've never personally violated my own morals principles, even when it would have been much, much safer to do otherwise, situation...

    How was the civil war not about slavery?

    Personally, I think it was both a series of States Rights/Union issues and a Slavery issue. However, it is simply not possible to have a true and voluntary Union when part of a Union keeps people as chattel, and the other parts disavow themselves of the same. That is simply too large a moral...

    D&D 5E (2014) Goliath/Half-Giant - A Race Suggestion for D&D Next

    Half Giants (we don't use the term half-giant, but call them as you will) are a playable race in my world. They range from 7 to 12 feet tall. However my players almost never play a giant above 8 feet tall because larger than that size and at the appropriate mass for that size it becomes very...

    Who would Your Monster Eat.. ?

    Janx, I have often heard it said, and in more than one corner of the world, that in primordial ages the bowels of Chuck Norris created Time itself, and that Time is the Monster that eats all other monsters. Therefore you make perfect sense my friend.

    Who would Your Monster Eat.. ?

    Sorry, just thought of another. The Thing would eat the Marvel Zombies for Sunday Brunch and crap out Shaggy, P. Diddy, Weird Al, and a whole mess of Scooby Snacks. But not necessarily in that order.

    Who would Your Monster Eat.. ?

    Okay, this here is a game. You name a Monster, who he would eat (for breakfast, lunch, or dinner), and then who he would crap out again. I'll go first. I choose Grendel. See now, Grendel would eat the Wolfman for breakfast and then crap out 2 Kobolds and a Water Naga. He'd also probably cough...

    The Godzilla Standard of Architecture

    I don't wanna start another light-sabre duel or nothing over this but I think Godzilla would eat Galactus for lunch and then crap a Rodan and an Incredible Hulk. I'm just sayin...

    What is meant by Exploration play?

    I very much hope that what they mean is what is meant by the kinds of things you do (before and during) when you really go exploring - especially into a hostile area or environment you've never been to before. You start penetrating into areas others are determined to keep you out of, or into...

    The Naked of 2012

    The Amazing "I Don't Give a Damn" Spiderman - I just saw an extended trailer for the Amazing Spiderman on Naked Trailers. This looks to be a much, much darker film than the other Spiderman films, much more like a Batman film really. A Spiderman of the Night. And the actor portraying Parker...

    [February] What are you watching?

    TV Saints Alive - a show I've never seen before. A sort of "You Were There" (don't know how many of you are old enough to know what I mean) with Saints. The one episode I saw involved an interview with Pope Gregory the Great. In the interview he talked about his Book of Pastoral Care. I...

    Flames of War?

    Forgot to mention, will Flames of War be coming out with a new or updated rulebook soon? If so I'm gonna wait to buy the new rulebook.

    Flames of War?

    Anyone play Flames of War? The World War II era miniatures Wargame? If so, then what do you think of it? I ran into a couple of guys playing it (one British, one American) at my local comic book/gaming store. They were playing it, and Blitzkrieg. I observed, talked to them awhile, shook...
