    Grandpa! Well, I guess I could be a Grandpa now but if my kids wait 5+ more years that would be better. This is a picture of my game table and some of my games in the background. The blog is all about my gaming activity for anyone with insomnia. http://fiftyshadesoffeldgrau.blogspot.com/2014/07/operation-market-garden-is-about-to.html

    Forgot to mention - I went to a presentation on the Apollo computer about a decade ago. Fascinating stuff. A lot of modern computing came out of that program. multi-tasking being one of them. The other I remember is that all the input devices were designed around the gloves the crew had to wear.

    Touchscreens have gotten a LOT better the last few years. The main problem with them in a car is you HAVE to take your eyes off the road to use the damn things - and that is not a good idea. Our SUV's display then occasionally has to gall to put up a warning when you start driving to keep your eyes on the road - to get rid of it and start the radio requires pressing a touchscreen button. What genius thought that up? The old physical knobs and push buttons you could use without taking your eyes off the road.

    I'm a wargamer. Miniatures, Board, and computer. Used to play RPGs and may drift back to that someday but my old group fell apart and when I tried to start a new one a fuzzy creaped me out.

    I was about to say the Jenius family's Latoya, but Mirage IS talented so...

    Star Wars, when it first came out, felt like is was FLYING along the entire time. Two things to remember. First off is that movies of mid seventies were slower paced then movies just a few years later. The other item to remember is that so much visually cool stuff, yes even sand was cool in SW unlike the prequels, that it was moving along at a fast clip the first time people watched it. ESB could only move at the pace it does due to SW having laid the foundation.

    Can't be from the Bionoids version - I checked two missing sequences from that version and they are still there. And unless Roy sounds like a drunken asian trying to sound like a Drunken Englishman trying to sound like a Drunken Texan it ain't Bionoids.

    That is like when Mr. Crabs Daughter asks if the present he got her for her birthday was Gripper Slippers and Mr. Crabs said "Could be"

    Aren't you a little short to be a Zentradi?

    After 2202 that is a scary thought.

    Almost all of the Asimov robot stories. When there is war it is usually in the background. The Foundation stories (ditto - though there are some books that deal directly with war in that series). A lot of Star Trek books are not about war but do have conflict. A number of other SciFi books are about world building and discovering/exploring a planet or system with no war. The latest RCN story had conflict but no war (but it was not one of the better ones in the series). Being a mainly military scifi reader I don't gravitate to others all that often but the Robot series by Asimov is excellent.

    Two episodes in and I really like it. Animation is fluid and just detailed enough. Voices are all good so far.

    Looking forward to it. I was very pleasantly surprised by the first season.

    One Yamato thread for all of it works for me.

    You won't get a Kirk but you will get a Pike - who was at least interested in the original Pilot...

    Heretic. Looking forward to this one. I'm up to the last two episodes of Discovery season 2 (which I like so far) and the guys playing Pike and Spock did a good job.

    I do. And they were a parody of what they have become. (Did I already post this months ago?)

    I saw the Clone Wars movie when it came out. I'm surprised I even attempted to watch the TV series after that lame movie. Lucky for me I DID decide to watch the show.

    Add even more to your argument by including that first Boba Fett appearance in the Holiday Special - knowing the whole time that particular cartoon was bookended by the WORST live action Star Wars ever made.

    The more I see this thread the more I keep thinking that a sequel to this is such a bad idea. It was a fun little romp but there is absolutely nothing there to hang a sequel on. The only gimick I could even think of is having Sly meet a clone of himself that was not frozen so that you could have old Sly and Young Sly meet. And even that is lame.

    Damn well better not!

    Only temporarily due to virus shutdown.

    Pussy Galore - getting away with that in the sixties means anything goes.

    South Park only wishes it was the Looney Tunes of today. It is what you get when teenagers try to be philosophical. Losing Mel Blanc was a loss for the entire world.

    For me there are only 3 really good Star Wars Movies. Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back, and Rogue One. Return of the Jedi was a promo reel for the mediocrity to come.
