    Janeway's a dice roll. Depends who is writing this week whether she's going to let you off with a warning or beam you down to LV-426 with a smile on her face. I can see it now. Beto: "We have a free press. You can't imprison me just because my writing made you mad." Sisko: "Oh, I'm not mad. I'm disappointed. I've done horrible things. But instead of writing about the time I dropped bioweapons on an inhabited colony, rendering the entire planet uninhabitable-" Beto: "You did WHAT?" Sisko: " - or that Romulan ambassador I ordered my tailor from the Obsidian Order to assassinate to open a new front in the Dominion war and buy us some breathing room-" Beto: "You ordered - wait, your tailor is from WHERE? " Sisko: "- or any of the other LEGITIMATE crimes I've committed that I DESERVE to be raked over the coals for, you made up a pack of lies about my crew that aren't fit to line the bottom of my barkeeper's bird cage. And you didn't even stop to think what my first officer, a CONVICTED TERRORIST- Beto: "Your first officer is WHAT?" Sisko: "- WITH ANGER MANAGEMENT ISSUES would do when she heard the rumors you were fabricating from whole cloth. This isn't about oppressing the freedom of the press you claim to be a part of, this is protective custody. Though I'm told jails are better at keeping people in than they are at keeping people OUT. Pleasant dreams, sir." Beto: "Excuse me, mister constable sir? Could you maybe post additional guards? Just to make sure I don't escape?" Odo: "Unfortunately, my post here isn't large enough to add additional personnel. It's just me, the 'changeling infiltrator' you wrote about. And I was just leaving for my evening regeneration. *chuckle* I'll see you in the morning." Beto: "I didn't know you actually WERE a changeling!"

    True story: I've never owned a complete Devastator. I don't see that changing soon. Every one I've seen is too expensive, not my taste in toy robots, or both.

    I think this is the topic of a postwar drama, Cyan Men Can't Jump.

    Armitage III suggested just the opposite.

    Thank goodness for the red, or we'd think he was dead in stasis lock.

    Personally, I do not trust Intel right now. They have overtly lied so hard about the issues with their previous processors I have no faith in their undocumented assuraces that the oxidation problems have been addressed, and their microcode fixes clearly aren't solving the overvolting problems(can't fix hardware with software). Right now, I wouldn't pay for ANY Intel part. Stats-wise, the 200 series has proven underwhelming. Even Userbenchmark's notoriously wild Intel bias can't generate anything good to say in his 285K writeup, or even find room to throw in an unrelated paragraph of how much AMD sucks. I'm genuinely worried about the poor guy.

    "Hey guys! What if Space Seed but also Doomsday Machine!"

    Fair enough. The F-22 does get in just under the wire.

    Nope. She gets a good night's sleep, then pays the scalper markup. Doesn't even hesitate.

    There can be only one... cellular service provider, and it's Mint Mobile.

    Yes, but not ideally since Crysis is designed for high single-core performance. ... Actually, "not without mods". Crysis uses 3DNow! instructions when running on an AMD processor, and AMD removed 3DNow! support.

    You know, the more I think about the He-Man crossover, the more disappointed I am with it. I know this is being done on Mattel's side as He-Man but also Trvansformers instead of Transformers but also He-Man... but there's a lot of vehicles in He-Man and a Land Shark that turned into Skeletor would be frickin' awesome. Pair that off with a Wind Raider that becomes He-Man and you've got a hit on your hands. Or better yet a triple-changer that turns into Prince Adam as well!

    In the words of Castlevania's Alucard: I'm interested in this.
  14. JB0
    Yeah, that about sums it up. Spoilers: Even wearing Megatron as a shirt won't stop him from betraying Skeletor at the worst moment.

    On the other hand, SMS is only equipped for the job because they're doing testing for the new fighter before the NUNS adopts it. And I recall there being lines to the effect that SMS was doing the testing primarily so that the government didn't owe anything to anyone if something went wrong. Independent contractors aren't entitled to medical benefits or compensation to next-of-kin, they're just up a creek if the lightly-tested plane decides to go project supernova under their chair or something. Ironically, in this case the gubmint probably paid out more in medical and bereavement due to their policy of being responsibility-dodging cheapskates.

    It probably won't do SegaCD. It isn't impossible, but I think if they'd cloned the more-expensive MD Everdrive Pro they would advertise that fact. I do hope it's a good clone.

    I like the implication that Mortal Kombat's universe differs from our own mainly in that New Line Cinema didn't get bought out.

    That's a cliche I've never really understood. Surely the point of trialing a prototype is to find out if it meets performance expectations and is fit for purpose. Adopting a machine that WASN'T trialed based on the performance of the machine you tested just doesn't make a lot of sense. It's like if the US had tested the YF-22 and then bought the F-35A because the -22 tested so well, instead of testing the YF-35.

    Ayup.

    Same. The Spacejet Winnebago and Orguss Tank modes fall into the "so bad it's good" category for me.

    Among other things, he was the first person to have Superman and The Flash race each other. 10/10, greatest comix writer of all time.

    I think Nekkimus Prime is kinda awful. The Optimus chest and abs looks terrible on the Fire Valkyrie, and Space Winnebago mod looks hilariously bad(I kinda love it). The "truck cab" mode is... it's just embarassing. I was happier when I thought they just backed the Gerwalk into the camper. I wish they'd drawn more design cues from Rodimus Prime instead of forcing this to be Optimus Prime. The Space Winnebago makes it clear SOMEONE thought he should be Rodimus. ... I still think he should really be hybridized with Armada Starscream, though.

    Does it end with Gigantis unleashing the ide and retconning the universe out of existence? Sorry, I just love that "Mobile Suit Vs. Giant God of Legend: Gigantis' Counterattack" is a thing that exists.

    I still say they should give up and recast Silverbolt as an XB-70, where a big block on the plane's underside is RIGHT.

    It was briefly against the rules to mention it here, due to the flood of threads about it.
