Duck and Cover

Do you speak of the disturbingly inbred European, with a troubling tendency toward cystic fibrosis, hemochromatosis, and a ludicrous sense of superiority drawn from accidents of geographic history? It really is a pity your timeline learned nothing about the silly concept of "race." Though ...

I suppose the late mister Bergman lost the chess game. He should have gone with tabletop football.

Did you use the term "foreigners" because I'm Indian, or from another timeline, or both?

Koreans suck, hell, all Asian type people suck, there not even human in my book, there lower than rats, they dont have any concept of honor, they eat dogs and cats, and they breed like rats, we should be exterminating them! RAID bug spray needs to make a Asian spray. In my timeline, people like you...

Think whatever you'd like. Just be assured that I am far off on another planet lightyears away, wanting nothing more of Earth than to play your old computer games and explore this alternate timeline. I promise. Really!

I didn't enjoy the game until I downloaded the "Cliff Racer Extinction" mod. And no, I'm not saying that's excusable on Bethesda's part. My comment had less to do with Morrowind's quality and more with whether or not a first-person perspective necessarily makes a game an FPS. I think if Mo...

The mention of a toaster as a ranged weapon left this superman scratching his head.

I admit, I am still trying to wrap my head around it. Somehow one of my crewmen aboard the Reliant survived, made it to the bridge, and managed to bring us both to the escape craft before the ship exploded. We made it back to Ceti Alpha V, where our work continues to counteract the horrible effects ...

When the time comes, the best way to honor a deceased pet is to consume its flesh.

Haven't had the pleasure yet. Out here on Ceti Alpha V we need to manufacture our own entertainment, and I haven't been able to do enough research on the ancient Earth board games. As I understand it, Supremacy is like a modernized, global version of Diplomacy, correct? I'm sure I'd love it. I'd als...

Your world is clearly on a different timeline from my reality, but from my understanding you may be of retirement age when the US withdraws from Iraq.

Then why not ask him? I do enjoy Axis & Allies, although I prefer every-nation-for-itself rules. With the exception of a well-executed Japanese invasion of the US, strict play is altogether a little too predictable for my tastes. The Allies should always win in a standard game, provided they mak...

Speaking of which, I find the card game Illuminati far superior to Magic. Something about world domination that simply quenches my proverbial inner thirst.

Keep an extra .223 pistol for close-in.

Amen. IIRC the .223 pistol got me through about half of the first game, and then it was sniper rifle the rest of the way through, except for the time I found the Alien Blaster.

Wasting any skill points on unarmed, throwing, first aid, doctor, gambling, or barter.

I always thought Tim Roth would do best at looking the part, but I really have no idea who could best capture Spider's incredibly manic personality.

How, exactly, is Spider Jerusalem like Alan Alda? Do you mean Alan Arkin? Even that I don't quite see.

My old nemesis, Kirk, once constructed a primitive cannon from bamboo, sulfur, potassium nitrate and charcoal. It fired a diamond that brought down his brutal adversary. Quite ancient methods, and very telling of the capacity for guile the old captain possessed. Oh, he was a worthy adversary.

Whatever problems you might have with that game, it's not a first-person shooter. The gameplay and pacing are significantly different.

I highly suggest Tiniwaren, one of your Earth rock bands that formed in a Libyan refugee camp during a time of civil war. They are Touareg desert tribesmen whose musical creations seem to capture the harsh essence of desert life and bloody conflict. Two subjects, friends, about which I know volumes.
