    How a Family Almost Got Shot and Gassed: a Swatting Story

    This is touching on something that I'm confused by with this swatting practice. See, the police have your location. Their system bypasses nearly all (I want to say all but apparently not) withheld number/location spoofing. Even when you use a pre-paid phone they can detect, with decent...

    Why is it Magic and Science/Technology can't ever seem to coexist?

    I think you might have been watching/reading the wrong things. I can think of a fair amount of examples of Magic and Science getting blended. Both magic being used/studied scientifically and the almost literal blending of magic and technology. You, my friend, need to meet the Skaven. Gaze...

    Fan Art Puts Disney Characters in a Zombie Apocalypse

    That's actually Clopin, the best character in the movie. Narrator, minor antagonist, comic relief, Clopin does it all. And that would be Meg Not sure where Herc has gotten to but, with Meg being a damned soul, the point about her not caring about a potential zombie apocalypse probably...

    Good MOBA to start with

    I'm with this poster. Why you should try Smite Smite is the way to go to ease into MOBAs. It's third person, WASD to move and 1-4 are your abilities. It has an auto buy and auto skill system pre-turned on for newbies (best to turn them off as soon as you're comfortable to though, they'll...

    Post your pets! Dream pets included! :D

    An excuse to post photos of my dog? She wouldn't forgive me if I passed this up: She's a firm believer in growing old disgracefully. She's mostly well behaved but she likes to bark at the tv, people walking past my [town] house and any time she hears a doorbell (just in case).

    Your Wonder Trade experience

    Fletchinder, the second evolution in its chain, has the "Flame Body" ability which's effect (outside of battle) is to half the number of cycles needed for an eggs to hatch while it is in the party. Very useful when on breeding sprees. OT: I haven't got anything good. Relevant info here is...

    The Horus Heresy novels, what do you think of them?

    No one will argue against that point, I don't think. Scumbag Emperor: -Lets his "sons" walk blindly into a galaxy dominated by the ruinous powers believing that devils dont exist. -Creates them all especially for a purpose (executioners, statesmen, builders, shock troops, etc), doesn't...

    The Horus Heresy novels, what do you think of them?

    Love them. It's one of my favourite book series. I'm heretical scum though so it might be just because I'm getting characterisation of my favourite Primarchs other than "they're bad, m'kay". Favourite books/scenes/parts that have made me fanboy squee Current annoyances: -Their...

    UK Retailer Breaks Pokemon X and Y Street Date

    Mine came in the post early October 10th GMT morning, woo for ShopTo preorders and their "we dont post things on saturday" and "you will get the game on release" policies :D I'm not sure if they were allowed to do that or not but a few of my friends got theirs at the same time.
