Eye sat in his chair, a glass of wine sitting nearly untouched on his desk as the computer panel listed data after data after data on too many things to keep track of. Reclining, the old cowboy rubbed his temples with his good hand, pondering the day's unravelings. No doubt actual physical investiga...

I also think that people on financial aid should have a limited choice in what they are allowed to study. I'm tired of my tax dollars going to pay for some kid to get an art history degree. He'll just end up flipping burgers anyways. Those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it. I don't kn...

System Shock 2! I second that. System Shock 2 will run on nearly any machine now and is so far the best sci-fi horror FPS I've ever played. Turn the lights off. Shogo. Dude. I thought I was the only person alive ever to play that. It's a decent mecha/personal shooter, though I always felt that by t...

I'm just quick to use rules and guidelines I learned in school so I don't forget them. :) All kidding aside, though, it's little details like this that can separate good projects from professional ones.

I think they are. They're too slightly askew to look as if they were intended that way. If the intent was to make them distorted, the proper thing to do would've been to make it more visible to not leave any doubts about it.

I think you've hit the right buzzword here: contest. Contests, I believe, can generally determine their own qualifications.

Rael is a fraud. He was videotaped on various occasions laughing his ass off backstage at the processes he went through with his loyal followers.

The way we've played it so far, the Manta seems to be aboard the Lycaon's cargo bay - or at least, that would make things fit. Possibilities: 1) The Lycaon's cargo bays are not part of the original ship design and therefore don't figure fully inside the gravity effect of the central ring. Low gravit...

Just checking to make sure we're all on the same page... From what I understand, the Manta is Shao's smaller high-tech ship whereas the Lycaon is Eye's larger ex-cruise ship. Currently, the Manta is docked inside the Lycaon's bigger fighter bay, whereas WF's character's ship, the speedster, is in an...

Re: Determining the morality of an action
In short, what makes an act "good" or "evil?" Is the nature of a particular act - we'll pick murder, because it's easy to debate - inherently good or evil, always, or does the motive one has for the action determine it's relative morality? As I understand it, motive is already o...
