It's worth remembering that lasers always diffract, even in space- though the wider the aperture, the lower the diffraction- a broad beam will spread out less than a narrow one.

Here's a few. The lurker tax of 6 threads worth will be coming up eventually...

Actually, the best odds, by far, are you missing so terribly that your shot travels through the galaxy without hitting anything, and ends up exiting the galaxy. At which point it will most likely end up missing galaxies it passes near. If it does hit a galaxy, it will likely pass through that one without hitting anything in that galaxy as well. And continue until the heat death of the universe. Even if you shot it at the speed of life.
THAT is how vast and empty space is.

However, if it gets anywhere near any celestial body, it will change course due to it's gravity. If it gets close enough, it might even go into orbit. Of course, this depends on the type of weapon. If it was a light-based weapon, it would basically have to travel within a few AU of a black hole to get caught… but if it were a missile or lump of metal (can do a LOT of damage to spacecraft), it will be fairly easy to get caught in a gravity well…

Note that he didn't say the most likely outcome, but that the most likely impact. That would require the shot to hit something.

Generally speaking you have two forms of continuity with the power rangers. Version 1, original people, but new bad guy forces them to get more powerful ranger gear. So original rangers get new suits, new zords, new everything when lord zed showed up and kicked their butts. Version 2 brings in a new cast. There is rarely, if ever, an explanation for this. But the old guys are generally around, there would sometimes be episodes where the originals show up for some reason to help, or one of them will appear as a new ranger. Tommy was the green ranger, then he went white ranger, I think he came back a couple of other times too. All that being said,

Re: D&D Demotivators Episode VI: Return of the JPEG
Im pretty sure Tommy was the most "long Lived ranger" with about half the original cast being gone by like...the 3rd series (the ninja one, that the movie was about)
Tommy was the Green ranger with the Dragon
The white ranger with the tiger
the white ranger with the falcon
I believe he was the red ranger for when the zords where had geometrically shaped heads, and the one where they switched to cars.
Then i think he was the only original member for when they went into space.
I think the series after that was a completely original cast that took place a few years after the rest.

Tommy was the green mighty morphin ranger, the white tiger ranger, the red zeo ranger, the red turbo ranger, and then a few years later the black dinoranger.
Tommy was not a ranger during "in Space" although he did appear in "Forever Red" in wild force, in his zeo costume.
For more power rangers, I recommend checking out Linkara's "history of power rangers" series.
Re: D&D Demotivators Episode VI: Return of the JPEG
Additional note, I originally thought about putting together a full list of clips, showing the rangers as a variety of different "classes but was just too tired to pull it off. Feel free to steal the idea if you like.

Are you kidding? That's a standard technique. You only get one die, and only for having a description at all. Two dice requires you to do something clever.

I thought two dice was using the environment? The guy mentions using the river rocks.

Eh, maybe. Personally, I don't think merely mentioning how the environment you're on feels is enough though, he'd have to do something like "as I bring my hand through the water, I scoop up some of it, and fling it into his face as I quickly close my hand into a fist and follow through with a punch".
Re: D&D Demotivators Episode VI: Return of the JPEG
It is. The spell graphics are highly similar to the games and the figure alone made me instantly think of a Black Mage. In the corner it also says "FINAL", so presumably the FANTASY was cut off by the motivator frame.

Stunts 1 and 2 do not account for "quality". 1-dies are stunts where you describe your action better than "I hit it". 2-dies are stunts where you do it better than "i hit it" and use or somehow edit the environment.
They are supposed to be spammable and easy. Only 3s are hard to get.
