Re: Page one of the V&V Conversions is up! Awesome! Yay! Some things I noticed: Dreamweaver's "shrouded in the dreamscape" power shouldn't include invisibility to the full hearing group but just normal hearing. Just as Temper was able to see her with his IR goggles, someone with sonar should also be able to spot her. I'd also add the "psionic -1/2" limitation. You left "shrinking, zero-END, persistent, always on" off of Marionette's sheet. I'd give Bull one level of "growth, zero-END, persistent, always on", also. Man I love that setting.

Re: A Thread for Random Musings I'm still really sad about having to put my cat down last Saturday. Rest in peace, Dubya.

Re: A Thread for Random Musings I am a nightmare on the grill. Everything I cook, be it chicken, steaks, burgers, whatever, is always too raw or too well done when I cook it. I'm in the supermarket Saturday morning. There's a hella sale on London broil. Like an entire London broil for $2.50, and they look good. I take a chance. It marinates in Italian salad dressing all day - not the bottled but the packet mix. Better, I says. Finally, the moment of truth. I set the grill on low and once it's hot, on goes the meat. When I felt good about myself I flipped it. I walk out later with a knife and cut into it. I see red. Could it be? I lift it off and on the cutting board it goes. Slice, slice, slice...OMG it's perfect! Perfect, I says! Medium on the ends and medium rare in the middle, and it tastes great! w00t! w00t! I ate like a king with some mashed and some thick mushroom gravy. A couple of Amstels rounded out the grains group. My first perfect grill! Yay!

Re: A Thread for Random Musings You know, I do so love irony.

Re: Discovery Channel: Alien Planet You may be right, but consider my philosophical argument: it is good to give these people face time simply because what they do is far more important to society that most famous individuals. We should promote the people as well as the science. More rewards for them might mean more people pursuing the science track.

Re: A Thread for Random Musings We need more threads regarding the recent changes on the boards here. Seriously. And we need more whining. There's just not enough whining from any side of this. And I'd appreciate it if the mods oiled themselves down before flexing and posing. The muscles stand out better in the light when you flex them.

Re: Discovery Channel: Alien Planet Okay, that's it. Now I have to run a Star Hero campaign using the world from the show.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER It sounds to this capitalist that we have here a market for a good PbP game that's not being met.

Re: Discovery Channel: Alien Planet I had the opposite reaction. I found it to be the most stimulating and entertaining Discovery Channel show I've seen. I was completely engrossed, and I look forward to watching it again. EDIT: As for the "science" complaints, I think part of the point was that we'll likely encounter things that we won't readily be able to explain, like how the gyrosprinter maintains it's balance. Much was based on science as we know it, and bits of the unexplained were added. No big deal, but certainly entertaining and fun. I also found the scientists' input rather insightful and complimentary. It wasn't just a "here's what we might find", but it was also a "here's what our best minds will do when approaching the data". I also liked Henson's quote (paraphrased from memory): "If we're not stretching ourselves to find out as much as we can, to learn everything that there is to learn about ourselves and the universe, then we're not being fully human."
