Off Topic / Pet pics

Just pics of your own pets please!

These are Magic and Gracie. Magic is the lab/retriever - or was, he's dead. But Gracie, a terrier from Puerto Rico, is alive and kicking.  :lol:

Read topic.

In Boston, Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney raised the security level on the city's transit system. Romney spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom said the heightened security level is similar to the "Code Orange" used by federal authorities.
It's never comforting to see that in a national news report right before leaving your house to use the Massachusetts transit system. It's far worse for those in London though, of course. FU TERRORISTS!!

Off Topic / War of the Worlds

So anyone else seen this yet? I have to say, the whole portion starting from when the storm began to when they were fleeing down the freeway in the car was the most awesome action sequence ever (at least visually). It all slowed down too much after that. There was plenty of cool action, but nothing could even come close to matching that opening. And there was not much of a story to fill that gap.. add to that already knowing how it would end, from the book.. meh. As with the more recent Spielberg movies, it COULD have been way better.

BTW, the tripod scene at the end felt and looked a lot like HL2. Oh, and it's too bad one of those cool aliens wasn't used in Signs. :p

Off Topic / The tv show Lost

I just finished watching the first season. All I have to say is.. wow. What an awesome concept, a show about people stuck on an island, and packed with weird mysteries that make no sense. It's like the Twilight Zone meets David Lynch. :p It was slow at times, but the final few episodes really made up for that. I found that the last one in particular actually creeped me out.

Off Topic / Book++?

Who's reading something cool? Guen had me start The Great Book of Amber: The Complete Amber Chronicles, by Roger Zelazny. It's a collection of 10 fantasy books in a series about a place called Amber. I'm currently on the fourth and it kicks absolute ass.

btw, no spoilers here please!

Off Topic / NASA World Wind program

I've been playing with this and it's very cool. It's a program which allows you to zoom in anywhere on the earth using satellite images. How far you can zoom in (or how good the quality is) varies, and you have to fiddle with it to get the best images. It's a big download, but a lot of fun.

General / Shooting around rt's
« on: April 27, 2005, 03:11:12 PM »
I'm just wondering how to kill a skulk behind an rt. Do you shoot just off-center? I can't seem to do it, but some people do it very well. Thanks.
