    AoO on ebay for 27 bucks from China. really?

    Many years ago I was trying to replace my long parted with copy of SPI's Objective Moscow. I bid on many on eBay and had a threshold that I would not pass and therefore never won an auction for one. On my honeymoon my wife and I stopped in an antique store that was an had originally been a...

    Book suggestion, please

    Hi - I am reading a book that mentions POW camps in the UK for captured axis troops during WW2. Are there any books on this topic that forumites could suggest? Bonus points for oral history endeavors.

    Books: What are you currently reading?

    I read a lot - currently reading Gail Collins "America's Women - 400 Years of Dolls, Drudges, Helpmates & Heroines." Recently read Thomas Dolby's bio, "The Speed of Sound," liked the music half much more than his adventures in tech (you can thank him for Ringtone technology); David Halberstam's...

    ASL Collection

    I did something similar a couple years back, gutting out a collection. A copy of a rulebook, BV and Red Barricades were the primary items that I kept.

    Who believes in some kind of existential 'force' affects DRs?

    Kid, I've batlled from one side of Board #1 to the other, and I've seen a lot of strange stuff, but I've never seen *anything* to make me believe that there's one all-powerful Force controlling my dice rolls.

    ASLOK Hotel

    Sometimes hotels put the luggage carts away to avoid damage to the property due to an overloaded cart being smashed in the halls around by a careless guest. Based on the state of this property as described I would say that it was damaged and they are too cheap to repair it.

    POW camp filmed from inside

    A link to my dad's oral history of his experiences. In his retirement he was State Commander for ex-POW's here in Wisconsin and one of his efforts was to get guys to provide oral histories to the Veteran's Museum. There is an archive online including transcripts.

    "America Rant" from Newsroom...best show on American television?

    It's not that the people of the US are giving up on science, per se. We got fat & lazy and have rested on our reputation instead of further cultivating it. We used to lead the world in education and now we're ranked somewhere in the 30's for quality of education. This is exacerbated by the...

    "America Rant" from Newsroom...best show on American television?

    Haven't seen it yet, not a huge tv watcher and never really a fan of the shows' creator. If you like this may I suggest a movie from the 1970's by the name of "Network"? One of my desert island top 5 movies that I suspect may be not dissimilar. If you've ever heard someone say "they're mad...

    Prometheus, Dog or Not?

    I didn't see a lot of inconsistencies myself, I just took it for what it is - maybe or maybe not a direct Alien prequel separated in line by two more. There may be exposition involved here that makes more sense when the other two come out. The website I linked in my original post has a lot of...

    Prometheus, Dog or Not?

    This website has a forum with some really interesting theories about the movie. I read a lot of "meh" reviews of it before seeing it - I'm a fan of the franchise so I was going to see it regardless - but I think that the critics were a bit harsh on it. Essentially franchise movies are...

    Prometheus, Dog or Not?

    Prometheus - dog or not dog? Are the engineers that you see for most of the movie really engineers or slaves/drones/clones? I was expecting something (quality-wise) a lot closer to the Alien vs. Predator franchise and instead got something that was a bit more in the direction of Terrance...
