  1. I don't what that means, but I'll go with false. The user below is a renegade time-traveller who whenever somebody asks why he sounds like he's from the north says lots of planets have a north, and travels around in a big blue phone booth.
  2. ERMEHGERDCLURNEWERES!!! Ahem. Sorry, let's try that again. OH MY GOD CLONE WARS!!! Eh, as good as it'll get. And now, for a quote from a musical. What would ya do, with a BA, in English?
  3. I. Beam! Down... TO THE! Planet. And make! Friendly... relations. With the! Kerbals! Shatner! Style! Narration! For the... WIN!
  4. Alliance rejected. I throw the next person out of the Time Vortex and into the Void.
  5. Floor 736: We are the Canadian Borg. Resistance would be impolite, eh.
  6. I learned about KSP from the Yogscast's Duncan, who did a series of KSP videos. I got an old version of the game on the internet(0.13), bought the full thing(0.17) and quickly got to work building massive rockets that couldn't get off the ground. I remember my first rocket. The Artemis 1. It couldn't even move a few inches before it crashed. Good times, good times.
  7. Granted. They now both hate your guts. I wish for a dish of fish named Trish.
  8. The Northern Forces: The entire Union Army, the entire army of Mordor, from Orcs to Nazgul, but no Sauron, and an enraged Hulk vs The Southen Forces: the entire Confederate Army, pre-reboot Superman, standard Godzilla, and the original mythological versions of Shiva and Ganesh This was inspired by a conversation from the beginning of an episode of The Big Bang Theory. I thought it was interesting enough to post, so i did. I've taken some liberties, as the conversation the chracters had wasn't completely specific about the combatants involved, but i haven't changed much. The fight takes place on an alternate Earth, where all the fictional combatants have been zapped to, and, having made their allengiencies with the American armies and prepared for battle, are ready and willing to fight each other. Everyones morals are On. The winner is the army with the last man standing. Opinions?
  9. Of course, a movie is about the road to get there, but this particular road has so many detours, potholes and traffic jams that I just want to turn around and go home.
  10. Really? How can you have too much Delta-V? Seriously, though, you can never have too much. You'll always underestimate your requirements. Okay, now me. I've never successfully landed on any planet other than Kerbin. and even if I could, I can't fly without using MechJeb autopilot. I've never built a space-capable spaceplane. I'm certain I might have but could never get it to orbit, but I've never even flown a stock plane to orbit.
  11. This is me. Ain't I handsome? In all seriousness, I'm 13, so posting a picture of me would be kinda awkward. Of course, I'm not that handsome to begin with, but also, privacy and crap like that. It's just easier to post turtles.
  12. Here's the thing; it doesn't make me feel anything. And somewhat ambiguous? Oh, sweetie, that film's looking ambiguous in the rear-view mirror.
  13. Again, showing a story is better than telling one, I get it. The problem it is showing something, but it sure as heck isn't a story. I'd describe more as "a series of loosely connected unfortunate events they tried to pass off as a story but really should have been two films and have ditched the whole monkey sequence and all of act 4 because those events were pointless unless you read the book." But that's my opinion. I see I struck a nerve among the community when I said that this films sucks. It's just that when I see a film, I want to it to have meaning, where I walk away knowing that something good happened. Here? I get 4 or 5 people dead, killed by a (now dead) rampant AI, and our good friend Dave becoming Space Baby. I have no idea what that all means. Should I be happy? Sad? Frightened? Judging by the way that the starchild looks, I'm gonna go with frightened, but it's not really clear.
  14. Actually, knowing HAL's backstory, it probably was out of concern for Dave. HAL isn't actually evil, he's fizzling out. And, in fact, the problem is HUMAN ERROR. They told HAL to lie, but he suffers from high-functioning Sheldonitis. Yes, I like "The Big Bang Theory."
  15. 2010? In all seriousness, though, Ender's game took a semi-realistic approach to space.
  16. Granted. I'm Freddy Kruger. I wish for somebody to click the link in by signature.
  17. What is this get in the airlock thing people talk about? I don't know that line. If it's a meme, I can't figure it out, and if it's from the movie, I believe Hal told Dave NOT to go into the airlock.
  18. Granted, but only you play it. I wish for my wish to be granted.
  19. Granted. Everyone has to climb into a three-man station. I wish for [REDACTED]
  20. Trust me, with act 4 ending it off, the monolith has at least 28 Canadian butt-tons of mystery surrounding it.
  21. And in regards to the "you're not old enough to appreciate it" or "you need to appreciate it in context," I say phooey. Some of my favorite films are from that era. My problems with 2001 are that a lot of it's plot points don't contribute to the overarching plot. The third act on it's own could carry the film, if done correctly, but instead we get two hours and fifteen minutes of characters that do nothing, rubber suit monkeys that contribute nothing, and fancy SFX that mean NOTHING! It could be that either a). I simply have poor taste or . your nostalgia goggles are malfunctioning. I hope it's b, but I bet it's actually a.
  22. Okay, let me explain the lack of plot. The first act, about 25 minutes, is... monkeys. Okay. The first half of the second act is eyecandy, then it establishes our character, who we learn has a daughter. She's never mentioned again. Then we have a bunch of foreign scientists, who are never mentioned again. Then, the second half of act 2 is eyecandy, then an annoying lecture, then MORE EYECANDY, then... well, then they all die, which means that whole act was, say it with me, COMPLETELY POINTLESS!!! Fail, Kubrick. Fail. Finally, we have act 3, which is my favorite, because of, and only because of, HAL. After establishing our new cast, and having most of them die, we have act 4, which is MORE EYECANDY!!! Gah! In fact, act 4 is NOTHING but SFX. As for the final boss battle, I very much liked that part. It sent chills up my spine. HAL is my favorite movie villain. It's a darn shame that he got stuck with this piece o' doggie doo.
  23. Granted, but the ports have a crash resistance of 0.3m/s, and the rope is actually poorly made twine. I wish for my wish to be horribly corrupted.
