Re: News Thread
Terrorists come in, they die. There. Yea-ah, taking at current count 4084 Americans with them. I really shouldn't have to explain this to you (but I will because I don't think you get it), you do realize hopefully that the number of terrorists in the world is not some set number that you can deplet...

Re: Official Movie Review Thread
Jumper was awesome. I think it was Ford who at some point said that he came out of that movie with a real disappointment that he couldn't jump himself - I concur wholehartedly with that sentiment. As far as building a whole film around a single premise (dude finds out he can teleport) go, this has ...

Re: [RPG] OZ World Main Thread (continued)
I'm totally fine with missile-based ABM, as that's obviously a viable technology. That BMD shield could then conceivably also be used to intercept aircraft and satellites - since those are also just stuff flying about in what should be the missile's range. I'm a bit more skeptical about lasers, alth...

I mean, look back at OZW. What the hell was wrong with it beyond what Kamin warmongered and weaponmongered and fishmongered? Nothing ever happened, that's what's wrong with it. It was all talk, no action. In my opinion the best bits were when Kamin went ballistic, because that presented an opportun...

Re: [RPG] OZ World Main Thread (continued)
To be honest, a big problem I had with my own nation was that somewhere along the way I forgot I wanted to be an antagonistic empire, and when I finally remembered we were at the point where it would be a massive breach of character to revert back to the original intent. So I was sorta stuck with a ...

[Maybe California has a Reagan County that existed before Ronald Reagan - maybe in bizzaro OZ World, Reagan's ancestors were Austrian Barons who owned the land back in the day.

A thing about "Von" Reagan... "Von" is the part of a German noble title that denotes what bit of countryside you're the count, baron or earl (etc.) of - for example "Ferdinand Graf von Waldstein" would mean that the guy is the Count of Waldstein. So, like, what's the de...

Re: 51 worst horror clichés
You don't watch much horror, do you? Because right now the only argument you have is a hasty generalization based upon one randomly picked movie from each genre, and that is hardly a scientific approach. Says the man who's not offered a damned thing as far as substantiation of his arguments go. At ...

Re: [General]The Return of CHARACTER CONCEPTS
In terms of character, how do you envision Fung Lao? My initial impression is one of patience, temperance and serenity. Somewhat in the vein of Master Evil or Sakamoto Eiji, but without the cruelty/temper of the latter. He'd definitely be one serene dude. After all, you don't get to be a master of ...

Re: 51 worst horror clichés
I did admit that torture horror is more popular than it used to be and will probably be remembered as the 2000s equivalent of the 1980s slasher fad, but it's far from all that horror movies today have to offer - not just the occasional Dog Soldiers and The Mist . Um, yeah, fantastic. That's not wha...
