Yeah, I don't think this can be sufficently explained, but the idea ijuin mentioned is probably the closest answer one can come up with.... Even then, though, it doesn't make sense. Sure, you're targeting objects in meters, but your ships are still flying at speeds measured in kilometers per...

Anyone else getting ready for another political firestorm over how to deal with Sandie Hustler? Iraqis surely want him dead, but already a lot of countries've been demanding that Saddam not be executed. I dunno, I'm a guy who believes in fates worse than death. Death would be less tormenting...

Point taken. I guess two different time periods in the same universe isn't much. HEH! Yeah, and it can have flak cannons that fire dictionaries which explode into razor-sharp pages with the definition of the word "polymer" written all over them! The cats won't know what hit 'em!

Bwah. Eh, 'ell, Bandit LOAF put it more eloquently than me... sums up pretty much how I feel. Crossovers - that is, if they're going to be any good - are an extremely difficult challenge and require a lot of thought to pull off right. I think it can be done, if a person cares enough to study the...

... Yeah, I know I'm going into dangerous waters bringing this up, though after browsing the Fanfiction forums I couldn't help but ask. When I was looking through one of the threads that you guys gave hell to the author of, I noticed ya'll had a severely adverse reaction to the guy's plans...

Actually, what I meant by the statement about Transformers and Robotech was that both Robotech and Transformers in some way took stuff from Japanese products. Robotech being the Frankenstein of cartoons, a story told using footage from Macross and some other series. The Transformers line, as I...

<3 Cheese sticks. They're the food of the gods. Oh, somewhat related to the original topic (I enjoy the Battletech universe, but all I've really done is play the 'Mechwarrior games) - what is this thing I keep hearing about the Battletech universe filching 'Mech designs off Japanese science...

To be honest, I didn't expect to find even *this* many female WC fans. I know this is a stereotype, but it really does seem true - that women are more likely to be attracted to cute or non-violent things. Take Ragnarok Online, f'instance - it's got a larger group of femplayers (and not to...

On the thing about cockpits... If you think about it, full-on virtual cockpits for a computer game aren't going to make it more realistic or draw you in, unless they're done right. Never played WCP, but think about this - most people have monitors that range around, oh, 10 to 12 inches...

Yeah... I just got online and got the verification e-mail in my inbox. Talk about wierd timing... I apologize on troubling you over this, Hades.
