We'll teach those Kronians not to mess with Earth. Thanks for all the data, Cassini. Godspeed. https://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/ http://www.popularmechanics.com/space/solar-system/a28007/cassini-greatest-space-mission-of-our-time/

So, the movie is out. Has anyone seen it? What did you think? The critics seem satisfied, stating that it boasts great visuals and manages to bring the atmosphere from the original. But they also say the characters are somewhat lackluster. A safe by the numbers movie. I thought one review was...

My brother's birthday is coming up and he's found a new passion in board games. He loves Settlers of Catan. Now, I've never played the game but I want to get him a board game he would enjoy but which isn't Catan. Does anyone have a recommendation for a game you can play with three to six...

Up first we have the classic neo-noir sci-fi film by Ridley Scott and the amended final words of Roy Batty: "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be...

Let's say one of the future robots on Mars finds an ancient structure hidden in a cave. No aliens or other apparent signs of current occupancy, but just a building visible from the mouth of a cave. How would we go about exploring it? I'm talking practically, what would be the proper...

I'm trying to wrap my head around exotic matter. As far as I understand it, this hypothetical matter is partly used to make work the math that would make wormholes stable. My question is could this be normal looking matter with strange properties? If, instead of attracting like regular...

What a breath of fresh ass this movie was. Without exaggerating, I loved every minute of it. There were scenes where I and the rest of the audience couldn't stop laughing. I've grown increasingly indifferent to the various Marvel movies from the MCU. Each iteration putting me to sleep...

The Rugby World Cup (RWC) started yesterday. Once every four years we get to see the top 20 nations in rugby slug it out until one of them comes out broken, bloodied, bruised but victorious. Does anyone follow it? Who are you rooting for? Who are you expecting to win?

So we might see a new Alien that ignores the Prometheus expansion and Alien 3 and Resurrection. I'm cautiously optimistic. I've liked everything Blomkamp has done so far but I was so terribly disappointed by Prometheus that I'm completely jaded and wary of new forays into the Alien universe...

I picked up Skyrim about a year ago and want to start playing it now. I want to mod it graphically before I began but the amount of mods out there is a bit daunting. Does anyone know which mods I should start out with?

Does the Paladin's Aura protect against Dominate Person as well as Charm Person?

Here's a cool video about the Rosetta comet mission. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32vlOgN_3QQ& And in case you missed it here's the video from the Mars Curiosity mission, 7 Minutes of Terror: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2I8AoB1xgU

Has anyone else picked up this mod for XCOM? It sports a host of new features and adds a great deal of tactical and strategic depth to the game. From their own website http://www.nexusmods.com/xcom/mods/88/? : Some of the changes in this mod include: - An extended campaign requiring far more...

Is anyone following the Lions' tour down under? Barring today's game against the Brumbies, I've been impressed with some of the combinations played. So far my favorite game was the one against the Reds, with Quade Cooper dictating a thrilling fast paced game against the tourists. What do you...

Is this a single use thing or do you use on every attack and saving throw in the duration?

I saw it this morning and...I don't know what to say. It was boring. The two people a couple rows in front of me fell asleep. Normally I don't mind changes from the source material but the things they did to the Mandarin are just silly. Other than that there is so much poorly timed comic...

Mornin' everyone, I'm fleshing out some parts of a setting I'm working on and right now I'm focusing on the various armies of this campaign. Does anyone know of any books or documentaries focusing on the logistics of running an army. It's your standard high magic fantasy setting, so any army...

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...

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...

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...
