Hmm.... I've always wondered... does a gunpowder firearm work in a vacuum with no atmosphere? Cause Spike pulled out his pistol and fired some shots to redirect himself during that little stunt.

Eh, just looking at the gun makes me think it looks a little fragile for a squad automatic weapon or the equivalent... I'm actually inclined to say it's more of a sniper rifle type?

Uhm, what makes you think Anakin is one of the best swordsmen around? This is the bright guy who takes a high attack position when he's about to come under fire from several hundred battle droids, leaving himself WIDE open. Notice he also loses control of himself when fighting, and gets sloppy.

So all the people in Wind Walker are descendants of those in Ocarina of Time or something? I don't know anything about the game, sorry. Did Link and Zelda end up having kids or something? :?:

Motion Blurring?

Not sure if a topic like this belongs in the OT forum, but most motion blurring I've seen is in either fantasy or science fiction, so I'll put it here for now. My question is this: what's the physical (scientific) explanation for motion blurring that we see? For example- in the Matrix during one fig...

How bout that disrupter rifle in JK2? When charged up, it was very powerful and could easily punch through multiple targets. So not all disrupters are short ranged weapons.

Well, if you're going "classical" (Dracula and the general mythos) vampires are probably more likely to use physical weapons (maybe a habit from before they were turned) or just use their fists to bludgeon people or throw em around. Nothing really fancy- a vampire's main strength is not th...

The characters have been in a galaxy spanning war that has lasted for years. Whole populations of planets have been wiped out casually over the span of a few hours (DBZs) or even in an instant (Death Star, anybody?). I doubt they'd get very much worked up over a single corvette crew. Casualties are ...

Voyager: Endgame question

A question occured to me about Voyager's finale- if the Borg have this massive transwarp station thingie that can pop open a transwarp conduit on Earth's doorstep, then why is it that both times we've seen them attack they slowly slowly fly a ship towards Earth at warp?

Yeah, I'm bummed that Luceno is concluding the NJO. I have nothing against him, but he just doesn't seem to capture the feel of Star Wars. I mean you coulda taken the Agents of Chaos series, changed some names, and I don't think you'd recognize it as Star Wars.
