Say tommorow the newly dead began to rise and attack the living how do you think it would play out?
I don't think the military would be wiped out as easily as movies show. Maybe there would be some losses from early encounters but once "Shoot em in the head" became well known the military would start racking up (re)kills on large scale.

No not psychic powers, that's certainly that.

Tom Cruise has apparently been quoted as calling all psychiatry pseudoscience (or antiscience if you prefer).

Now if you are wondering why I would even bring up a celebrity quote like that, well, it's more about the science claim.

Basically I think Tom just didn't do enough research. A more accurate statement would be "the public image of what psychiatry is and the "psychiatry shows" are pseudoscience. You know, guys like Dr. Phil or the image we all have of psychiatrists basically just talking things out with you on a couch and uncovering subconcious stuff, that's pseudoscience. The reality is psychiatry is a lot less magical than that... Basically the real psychiatrists, the ones who don't have late night radio shows, are just figuring out basic programatic methods of brain operation and how specially measured out combinations of chemicals in the brain can effect these reactions. Some of that bleeds into the common view of it, but it's not all that. In general, that crazy german guy we all know the name of was wrong on a lot of counts, specifically the idea that things like hypnosis are any more real than demon posession states or the idea of a real subconcious or the idea that crack is a good medicinal aid.

Enhancing the Classics
Nintendo's president says Revolution's download service may do just that. Full details inside.
by Matt Casamassina

June 22, 2005 - At the Electronics Entertainment Expo 2005 in May, Nintendo revealed that its Revolution console would not only connect wirelessly online, but would also enable users to download classic titles for play on the machine. The company said that hit software from its previous consoles, including NES, S-NES and Nintendo 64, would be available to download for a small fee.

According to a new EGM interview with company president Satoru Iwata, there may be more to the story, though. The executive told the magazine that these classic titles could actually be improved on Revolution.

"We are doing several experiments, including working with the original Super Mario Bros., with the new technology," Iwata said. "The game itself and the gameplay shall be identical, but the look will be different -- it's possible that with Revolution we may be able to see the old games with new looks."

Iwata did not reveal exactly how the graphics for classic titles would be enhanced, but we expect that more on the subject will be announced before the end of the year. Nintendo has stated it plans to divulge more on Revolution, including the controller, by the time the holidays roll around.

Readers can read the full interview in the latest issue of EGM, available now.

This is what I was hoping for, this could mean Super Mario Bros. with Sunshine graphics. Still in 2-D but with 3-D graphics, we usually call this "2.5-D". The same could be said for OoT and MM which could use the Wind Waker or the new Zelda graphics or even more. I'd love to see a 2.5-D Super Metroid or the original Starfox and Starfox 64 using the graphics of Dinosaur Planet's arwing levels or Assault's graphics (as long as they dont kill the draw distance like they did in Assault!). We could see 4 player NES Legend of Zelda or Metroid and of course the biggest question is, will we see Nintendo classics with online support.

But reading the quotes you cant help but wonder if he's talking about true stereoscopic 3-D...

I just finished my 7th Star Wars novel, Tatooine Ghost by Troy Denning, and it was absolutely great. It served excellenetly to blend the prequel trilogy to the classic trilogy... and the writer blended it in with appropriate humor, good action, a few ironic twists... it gives a lot of great backstory about Shmi and Watto, and Kitster Bantai is a character as well... I definitely recommend it. It is second only to The New Rebellion by Kristine Kathryn Rusch on my SW novels list...

any other insight into Star Wars novels?


1.) The New Rebellion/K.K. Rusch
2.) Tatooine Ghost/Troy Denning
3.) Shadows of the Empire/Steve Perry
4.) Planet of Twilight/Barbara Hambly
5.) The Mandalorian Armor/K.W. Jeter
6.) The Truce at Bakura/Kathy Tyers
7.) Tales from the Empire/Various

Kasumi says: "I think Canada is the perfect punchline for any joke!"

Happy birthday, you canucklehead!

I'd bet five to one you still lurk here periodically, and I'm pretty sure you'll see this.

I don't hate you. I hope you're having fun wherever you are. Happy 22nd.

Now I want to find that outfit and put it on a manequin and display it in my room. A manequin with a mullet.

Now let's see how fast this thread can turn into a debate on the mechanics of hyperspace in Star Wars.

Yes, about five years ago the great "All Your Base" internet phenomenon set up us the bomb. To celebrate, <a href="http://www.pwned.nl/ayb/">here is an All Your Base flash by TMST set to Bohemian Rhapsody</a>. You may have seen it before, but I sure haven't! Good times. :D

The Zelda part at the end was particularly LOL. Enjoy.
