My Dearest Crast,

I hope this tele-letter finds you in high spirits and good health.  I fear it may reach you late, as the tube traversal trucks that service my home have been slow and overloaded lately.  Too many titillating daguerreotypes is my suspicion. 

But nevertheless, I must offer you my grandest congratulations of living out one more year.  I am sure you were up to such good natured tomfoolery that it pains me to have missed it.

The junk in your trunk,
Tage

Moved to OT because "Movies aren't as good as back in the day" isn't quite up to the level of MD.  Also Weaver is right but I'm deleting his posts anyway.

Why, that's my favorite kind of murderer!


I dunno, I find that specialized murderers give you a better bang for your buck.

Yeah, cables are basically cables.  Unless you're passing the cable over a magnet, EM interference isn't strong enough to matter, since it's strength decreases cubically in regards to distance.

Take it to an apple store.

You liar.


Imperishable Night is in the same basic genre, albeit in the "bullet hell" subgenre.  (Click the link to get an idea of what that means, but be aware that the video was recorded on the highest difficulty level, and that it's not as hard as it looks.)  You pilot a witch instead of a spaceship, but it's the same basic idea.

Unfortunately, the kind of games you're looking for are primarily represented on consoles, and not on the PC.  The Touhou games (of which IN is one) are the only PC games that come to mind.  I guess you could always grab an emulator and...well, emulate?

Damnit Bill, I was hoping BP would be the one place I visit where Touhou doesn't get brought up, appropriate or not.  Also I warned you for it.


Also, though it's not exactly what you are looking for, the Escape Velocity series is great and amazing.

Moral of the story: Family court judges think first of the child, so if she had sued for child support, the judge probably would have given it to her.

I heard one of the reasons they're doing joker is because in the first movie, they had batman kill him. Christopher Nolan was disappointed because it didn't follow the cannon or something. So, it's likely that the Joker isn't going to die.


Yeah, the canon is that Batman doesn't kill anyone, that he in fact goes out of his way to make sure that they don't die.

agreed, but I hope they don't kill him. Arch enemies deserve to be in more than one movie.


Like Venom.

Venom isn't really an arch foe.  Just a normal foe.

Yes, it is based on the Hitman series.

Just saw it, I have two main complaints.

1) He doesn't kill everyone that sees his face.
2) The girl.

You can really tell that the Studio was like "Your script doesn't have a flawed, vulnerable female character.  Put one in."

Other than that, it was really quite decent.

Actually, that is sort of the effect of vacuum on the human body.  As long as you breathe out when the air is blown out, you can stay conscious between 15 and 30 seconds(the time it takes for the brain to run through it's oxygen), and there's no crazy explosive decompression or anything.  The breathing out thing is to keep your lungs from exploding and causing massive bleed out.

This is Jack Churchill's theme song by the way.

If rambo was real, this would be it.

It would have to be an amalgam of Rambo, David Bowie, The Highlander, Robin Hood and Teddy Roosevelt.  5 of the greatest real or imagined men, all fused into a mighty morphing British Commando.

"Fighting Jack Churchill", was an English soldier who fought throughout World War II armed with a bow, arrows and a claymore. He once said "any officer who goes into action without his sword is improperly dressed".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Churchill

"He resumed his commission after Poland was invaded and volunteered for the Commandos after fighting at Dunkirk. It is said that Churchill was not sure what was entailed in Commando duty, but that because it sounded dangerous, he signed up. In May 1940, Churchill and his unit, the Manchester Regiment, ambushed a German patrol near l'Epinette, France. Churchill gave the signal to attack by cutting down the feldwebel (sergeant) with his barbed arrows."(excerpt)

God compares Jesus to Jack Churchill, and finds him lacking.

Perhaps it's going to start up a cookie bake sale, to raise money for candles.
