You know, sonic booms will be the least of your problems in that case. Whereas a regular ordinary meteorite will hit the earth as a large, hard chunk of stone, a smashed meteorite will turn into an enormous pillar of fire that scorches the Earth and may turn the surface into glass (depending on the size of the meteor).

So is she still an unrequited love? Have you ever asked her out?
Because if you've never confessed to her, the correct answer may be to wish her happy birthday by offering to buy her lunch/dinner.

Re: LaLa's Laughably Silly Random Banter Thread - RB #158
That would be amazing!
I'm such a pervert.
Don't know why, but after the Amy-Rory-Amy bit my favourite part was THE WIBBLY LEVER!!
But you can't have TNG being TNG without TOS. And if TOS didn't exist, TNG would be called TOS, and that means TNG!TOS doesn't exist at all!
You are now only left with VOY, ENT and DS9.
Poor boy.
ION:
Archie, love your sig quote. Loved that game.
IOON:
People, I have passed a landmark in nerdery today!
Ten(ish) months ago I played my first tabletop RPG, and today, I painted my first mini.
Oh yeah.
Problem is, I went to Games Workshop, so I was hoping to find some more DnD related stuff; but I still got a chat with a lovely man, a mini painting lesson in painting minis (plus a free mini) and a very quick game of Warhammer40k.
It's pretty fun actually.
My space marine is now standing guard on top of my books for my next essay.
And I got to see part of a fantasy Warhammer game played out.
This is is the closest I've come to gaming since December.
Now to actually find a DnD shop. That or get the Koorlykin into splitting the cost of a starter box of Warhammer. As it is the boys already have two or three armies between them.
I'm so proud of myself.
Four hours of the history of the English language, some girly-type shopping for girly things; and then hanging out with a bunch of dudes painting minis and playing tabletop games.
I love my life.
Bathatar!
Squid bones are lies.

This may have a better home in the relationship issues thread, but might I interest you in a machete with which you can use to cut that bridge?

Re: LaLa's Laughably Silly Random Banter Thread - RB #158
According to legend, you must first read the entire Discworld series. Then you must undertake a quest for the 7 great tomes of myth, befriending any cats you meet along the way. By this means, you may enter the Plane of Books.
If you wish to get any further than just finding her, there is a complicated gauntlet of trials involving literature, nerdery, and duelling each other for her amusement.
Alternatively, I hear a number of similarly nerdy girls hang out on this forum."'But there's still such a lot to be done...'
YES. THERE ALWAYS IS."

You trace their IP address, then buy a plane ticket and a telescope and-

Oh, one LIKE her...
Hang around a shop for miniatures. Also roll a natural twenty on your survival check for tracking
Or find a girl who seems receptive to tabletop and introduce her to the game.

Re: LaLa's Laughably Silly Random Banter Thread - RB #158
Thanks... damn didn't check Gender signs... if i say "Guys" you'll understand right?
Thanks Guys.
resuming "normal" Archonly self...
Mark.
the thing i thought they should have done is when the Doctor ran through the door shouting "The Wibbly Lever" is the doctor by the controls then work out WHY it was the wibbly lever, so that there wasn't a "thought paradox" his future self gave himself the clue he needed to solve the problem.
you can probably scratch Ent too... DS9 TNG & Voy were cool.
like a Fez!
as did i. good times.

Re: LaLa's Laughably Silly Random Banter Thread - RB #158
That's a pretty good landmark in nerdiness, certainly devotion to a franchise.
Next stop on my nerdiness metre: attend a con. Probably.
I've already got the 'cult sci-fi' sticker, the 'internet meetup(s)', 'tabletop RPGs', 'anime (subbed; dubbed)', 'cult fantasy', 'internet forum', 'webcomics', 'in-depth knowledge of obscure things (books; English language; mindless trivia) and 'internet reviews'. . . . Fine. And 'fanfiction'.
Yeah. A con of some sort would be next wouldn't it? That or running my own campaign or taking part in a long-lasting one.
But here, where I am currently, the only campaigns that seem to last more than one session are LARPing ones.
Hang out on this forum?
Go to college (Trogland) or uni (Britland)? People are more willing to be 'odd' there than in a secondary school (Britland) or high school. Um, ask at local hobby shops?
Mostly sheer luck though I'm guessing.
Now I wish to gloat and complain at exactly the same time.
Just watching the series three opening episode of Doctor Who, it's fun. Martha looks interesting already.
I am armed with a chicken salsa tortilla wrap, a quarter of cherry bonbons and a quarter of milk bottles. And my first fizzy pop four months.
Sadly, I dropped some salsa on my calf and had to lick it off. And it stained my bedspread.
Luckily, it washed off quick.
Double luckily, I'm marathoning Who and have nummy things, and no work to do until tomorrow because my main book for the next essay has to be hauled out from the depths of the Bod.
There're only three copies of this book in the entire university! And one of them's been taken out, one can't be accessed except by members of a specific college; and the other one's . . . in the Bod. Which is very big.
Point is: I can gloat.
Today has been awesome.
You know, except for getting salsa on my leg. And that annoying person I was stuck behind in a queue for five minutes.

Re: LaLa's Laughably Silly Random Banter Thread - RB #158
The thing about quests is that there's always a back door. "Accidentally" shoved your sword up Vivec's nostril for arresting one of your friends? That's ok! Just head down the corpusarium and talk to the last remaining dwarf about activating Wraithguard. Sure, it's risky and might end up killing you but hey. Such are the risks in life

Re: LaLa's Laughably Silly Random Banter Thread - RB #158
Also L-Space. Prior knowledge of at least five hundred years of literary history would help in the Riddle Section. Also grammar nazi.
That's some good advice there.
You may need a good Bluff skill too.
Well, it was a Comic Relief special, so it's not like you needed sanity - remember 'The Curse of the Fatal Death'? I think the only way you could work out the Wibbly Lever Paradox would be to assume that the first Doctor in the sequence pulled the wrong one, ran through the Inner TARDIS, shouted at that Doctor "Not the X Lever!", then when that TARDIS started to blow up Eleven!2 ran through to the Inner TARDIS shouting "Not the X or Y Levers!" and so on until it got right?
That or call it magic.
ENT doesn't exist. Never has. After DS9 ended there was no Trek until the reboot. Which was okay.
And I couldn't stand most of VOY. Argh.
*awaits the next meetup with glee*
Will there be more bikini wearing Wookies? More insanely complicated 'simple diplomatic meetings' involving poisonings and a country and species that never existed?!
Tune in next time for!:
UK Meetup VII!!
Awesome.
Can't stand that book, so you're in luck.
Pretend they're all guys.
Seriously.
Even I pretend I'm a guy. Because I am. Actually, I'm an amalgam of all the other Britlander Playgrounders who are male. Like Cassie.
She's not a she either.
All female Britlander Playgrounders are actually run by males. It's like a massive RP session.
Disclaimer: I am probably not male or female. The above may or may not be a joke. And I may or may not be talking rubbish. Anything you take as serious is your decision, and yours alone.

I was actually joking about the "no luck" thing myself, so we're even
I think I'm finally going to finish off Fallout: NV. This game is... amazingly fun and I've put it off for so long because I just wanted to keep playing.
You can tell when I hate a game: I finish it as fast as possible. You can also tell when I love a game: I put off finishing it for as long as possible, even taking a few-month sabbatical from playing it to savor it.

Re: LaLa's Laughably Silly Random Banter Thread - RB #158
Am I the only person that didn't think ENT was bad? As far as the other Trek series, TOS and TNG were okay, I don't care much for watching either of their shows but their movies were good. DS9 and Voyager I hated though.
I'm more of a Star Wars and other Sci-Fi (love me some cyberpunk) nerd, though.End of line.

I loved TNG. TNG is, was and will probably always be one of my favorite TV series of all time. ENT was ok. I liked good chunks of it. VOY sucked, DS9 was boring, and TOS was too hokey for me.

Re: LaLa's Laughably Silly Random Banter Thread - RB #158
I liked what I saw of ENT except for the Temporal Cold War. I've been watching TOS, the 3rd season is meh but the acting was actually good through most of the first 2 seasons. Spock's Brain is the big ham episode for Kirk of the ones I've seen, but seriously that episode hurt my brain (it contradicted itself). Haven't seen TNG or DS9 and only ever saw 1 or 2 episodes of VOY. I've seen the movie with the borg attacking Zephram's time and Wrath of Khan, haven't watched any of the other movies.
I've read most of the Star Wars books that take place within 10 years of Endor. Love Aasimov, Heinlein, Philip K **** (could be said to have inspired cyberpunk), and I could list more but those are probably the top 3. Oh and fantasy, (good) cosmic horror (not Derleth, not Derleth), and myths (especially the Norse kind, but those read pretty close to Sword and Sorcery).Peanut Half-Dragon Necromancer by Kurien.

This doesn't sound especially hard. I do it all the time (or rather, I get confused because I dream alot, and my dreams are not the reality)
ION:
Die, Soviet, die! I finally got bored by not doing anything with my nuclear power Sweden, so I built a smaller army, invaded Finland, nuked Moscow and anexed the previously invaded Finland. After fending off constandly growing Soviet armies and nuking Leningrad, I did a tactical withdrawal back to Torneo and Kiruna, where it's easier to defend. Now I'm aiming to retake Rovaniemi and starve out the Soviet troops that are positioned in northern Norway, whereafter I can try and move the front forward again.Clouddreamer Teddy by me, high above the world, far beyond its matters...

Re: LaLa's Laughably Silly Random Banter Thread - RB #158
Huh. 'Smith and Jones' just finished.
[spoilers]How does a bendy straw break skin?
How did CPR bring someone back to life after complete and total blood loss?[/spoiler]
Wonderful technobabble though. And nice characters, especially that anonymous doctor dude. Not the Doctor, just a doctor. Good CGI too.
Also, isn't Martha's actress the same person who was upgraded in Torchwood the previous series? They even lampshaded it.
I like Martha. SHe's cool. Even if she reacted to the kiss kind of goofily. But then again, Tennant's a pretty handsome Doctor, and it looked like it was a good kiss.
Then again, I'm judging it from one's who's never kissed or been kissed.
Also: funny parts:
"Crossing into established timelines is never to be done. Except for cheap tricks."
Mouthing along to the 'it's bigger on the inside' thing.
Oh my giddy aunts no!
That whiny little female Rose was mentioned. Ugh.
At least Martha's said she doesn't do humans. Wonder how long that's going to last.
o.O
'The Shakespeare Code's' next! How many in-jokes can I detect?!
Double o.O!!
This series has 'Blink' in it doesn't it?!
Happy days! No Rose, amazing theme tune, a fun appearing companion, Billy Wobbledagger, the Weeping Angels.
Sweeties and fizzy pop and laziness. What more could a girl ask for?
And I've only seen barely the last half of this series. And I know who's coming up later.

Holy crap, Mortal Kombat is a completly legitimately difficult game so far, and I'm only on chapter 3 of the game.
Of note, Scorpion is awesome as heck.
