Re: C&C4 is out? What?!
It also uses basically the same DRM that Ubisoft recently implemented. Although EA apparently does not think it's DRM.

Re: "Rate my Rig" thread
I am currently running this:
Core2Quad q6600
4GB DD2
Geforce 8800 GTS
Asus P5B-E
Hard Drives, etc...
Is it worth right now building a new i5/i7 Quad system or just upgrading some of the components in this rig?

Re: Dresden Files vs X-Files.
Bah missed the edit window.
I meant to say that we have seen that there is a differentiation between killing with white and black magic in universe.

Re: Dresden Files vs X-Files.
Why do you think the Blackstaff is called the Blackstaff? Perhaps because he uses black magic? :) Further, when Dresden found out about McCoy's position, note that he immediately feels betrayed at the very thought of McCoy using magic to kill people, and finds it inconsistent with his soulgaze of M...

Re: Dresden Files vs X-Files.
Black magic, in the Dresdenverse, is not a variety of magic per se. Any magic used to break the Laws is considered black magic. Some varieties, such as telepathy and necromancy, are considered more inherently corruptive than homicide or precognition, both of which are permitted to limited extents. ...

Re: Dresden Files vs X-Files.
You really have no basis to assume that the Laws of Magic would be suspended under any circumstance. The dogma of the White Council is that the use of black magic drives you insane and makes you evil. Now, there is some room for debate about this, both in and out of universe, but it's worth noting ...

Gee sorry. I didn't realize that discussing sci fi had no place on a sci fi discussion forum. This community discusses design issues in many sci fi universes all the time, sorry I expressed an interest in poor design choices in ST's small arms.

Well I'm assuming there's some overall art design reason why they want it bright and flashy, intead of them just doing it because it's bright flashy ST . :) True, I also just thought that perhaps the weapon automatically flips the barrel with a button press or something, eliminating some, but not a...

I am really hoping this isn't how it is in the movie, and the bloody thing still needs a trigger guard. And bullets! 7.62 NATO!

Awesome review Chuck. The albino dominatrix crack nearly floored me. Really interesting to see how the director and de Lancie shaped the dialogue.
Oh man that would be awesome. Any chance of maybe say an every few months movie special review?Are you going to do a video review of First Contact?

Did Eureka get canned? That was a lot of fun. If it was in any way remotely witty or clever, either it's already been shitcanned or soon will be. Such programming does not fit in with the New Improved Vision™ for SciFi. It got renewed for a third season, actually. Man, look at all the negativity in...
