Perth Chapter 21 The lift transporting Wesley Garland to the main conference room thirty stories up seemed to run much faster than usual on this particular day. Typical. Nothing like a crisis to alter the flow of time. And the Ganymede mission had been sprinting from one crisis to another lately with Wesley

This is quite true. I assume hiron, as described in the SMAC game manual appendix and in the three books, to be almost pure nitrogen with only trace amounts of oxygen and carbon dioxide. The first SMAC book "Centauri Dawn" has the colonists wearing breathing masks and one of the characters (Pravin Lal's son) loses his mask in a skirmish with some Believer marauders and eventually succumbs to Chiron's "toxic" atmosphere. He lives, but it does a number on him...similar to what

[quote who="Mascrinthus" reply="13" id="2072686"]I have noticed that the Krynn, even on Ultimate, like to spam hundreds of small hull fighters with primitive weapons rather than producing fewer quality larger hull ships. Large fleets of these weak ships are easy prey for even a single medium hull ship with moderate weapons and defenses (optimal to the fighters' primitive weapons). The Krynn needs to focus more on researching larger hulls and better weapons/defenses; then they can produc

Yes, there is more...well, there WILL be more eventually. I've just continued it on www.fanfiction.net. [e digicons]^_^[/e] I decided I should finish it there as it's actually not yet into the "meat" of the GalCiv2 universe, per se. Still working on the back story.

Great to see such a gamer friendly operation such as Stardock expanding. Proof that you can grow your computer games/apps business without relying on performance sapping DRM procedures. You treat your customers like human beings instead of potenital pirates and they will come. Yes, they will come. EA, Ubisoft...sit up and take notice. Congratulations to all the Stardock team.

I've lost count how many times I've seen the original trilogy over the past 30 years. To be honest, when I saw Star Wars in the theater I was 10 years old...and I had no idea what was going on. But they showed it again the next summer and boy did I get it. I was hooked. Christmas that year was freakin' sweet with all my Star Wars toys. But I think I have an answer as to why to new trilogy, despite it's enhanced special effects, did not have the i

All I want to know is if Abrams is going to put in that "Kirk fight music" in this remake. You know the one: "Da-Da-DAAHH-DAAHH-DAAHH-DAAHH-DAAHH-DAH-DaDa-Dah!" I'd pay $10 to see that again. :)

Day 643 (Three days later) Dr. Rhona McKibben pulled her breathing mask down and rested it under her chin as she took another bite of the large pear. Back home, she wasn’t particularly fond of the fruit but these Gaian hybrids had infused everything with enhanced flavor. While exploring the remnants of this Gaian base she had discovered some personal notes made by a Gaian genetic scientist who was well on the way to altering the taste of certain

Tom, you magnificent bastard, I read your BLOG! (great, great fun read) One of my fave lines from his original DL diary: " I ammended the terms of the deal to them giving me four and a half trillion credits, their entire military fleet and their homeworld, in exchange for shutting the hell up." I LOL'ed at that one. :)

1) Jaws. I mean...come on! Getting killed by the thing you can't see combined with man's classic fear of being eaten by a shark. Plus the music made me a John Williams fan for life. A true classic. If Quint's [i]U.S.S. Indianpolis[/i] story doesn't chill you, then you ain't breathing. 2) Alien. Along the lines of Jaws in that you don't really get a good look at the creature until the end. Great cinematography. 3) The Thing. I have this on DVD and, since other people hav
