Is this some new meme that is going on? Apparently Twilight fans must take sides on who is hunkier, Edward or Jacob, and thus say they are part of Team Edward or Team Jacob.

dmjalund Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Re: Make Your Own Motivational Poster I was always with team Alice - after all if you're going to have sparkly vampires, they might as well be sexy girls with lesbian tendancies that can see the future!

Narf the Mouse Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Re: Make Your Own Motivational Poster Team Bolo. Because nothing says "Dead vampires" like a multi-ten kiloton tank that fires fusing nuclear plasma. Granted, it says lots of dead things, but that's pure, concentrated sunshine. Lots of happy sunshine makes lots of good vampires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picture the highest ideals of a soldier. Turn it into an intelligent, self-aware tank that takes up multiple football fields and fires star-stuff. It never gives up, never surrenders and knows no dishonour. Make it able to control an entire planetary war better than almost any Human general. And the only way to stop it is to kill it completely. They make terminators look yielding - And they're on our side. As for why Humanity would need tanks like that? Well, you'll have to read the books for that.

[/quote'] Ogre was created in the wild and wooly days of early gaming. There was a great deal of "inspired" work. Few remember that memorizing spells and 9 levels of magic appeared in Jack Vance's "Dying Earth" long before D&D and Law and Chaos as "alignments" was likely lifted from Michael Moorcock, and that the D&D Paladin was essentially Holger Karlsen in "Three Hearts and Three Lions", and then there is all the Tolkien liberally sprinkled throughout. Most of early gaming was to simulate something we'd read or seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
