Everything Else / Re: review: Illuminati Card Game

Obviously the Illuminati want to be as hard to find as possible.
News:
"Magic is what makes fantasy fantastic," someone says, "you can't apply rules to them or else it loses wonder!" I respond, "Sure, but if you want to write them you will certainly want to know how they work." Writing is all about execution, and I find applying some basic laws of physics to magic systems make them more understandable and realistic. Here, I'm going to outline my basic method for developing a magic system.

Why not just make more classic looney toons?
I don't think they could get away with classic ones in this overly PC age unless they were on Adult Swim or something.
But this whole thing just looks wrong.

From sci-fi.com wire:
Walt Disney Pictures, which is producing the upcoming feature adaptation of Douglas Adams' SF spoof Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, has announced a contest to find the most dedicated Hitchhiker's fans in the galaxy, the Dark Horizons Web site reported. Contestants are asked to submit an essay of 250 words or less on why they became fans and how they live their lives according to the titular fictional guide.
Six winners—a number derived from the addition of the digits in 42, which is hailed as the answer to "life, the universe and everything" in the Hitchhiker's series—will be chosen to have their profiles featured on the official Web site for the film. Entries must include name, age, city and e-mail address and may be sent to [email protected]. The deadline for the contest is Feb. 25.

Oh yeah! MK: Annihilation was baaad. I did actually like the first one though. It was a decent popcorn flick and represented the game fairly well.
Except for Christopher Lambert. How the heck did he get in there, much less as Raiden?!?!

Prove it. I argue that they have at least the same father: Jim Henson.
While he may have created both characters, Frank Oz, initially, was Bert.
By your logic, all Muppets would be brothers/sisters and that would just be wrong on too many levels

Weird? It's been that way for almost 28 years 
What would you expect from a species that comes from a planet called Kashyyyk?
I've seen die-hard fans that don't know that either so I guess it's just one of those things.

I am forced to remember the movie almost any time I watch ER. Thankfully I have only suffered through it once and have managed to block most of it out.
I think I would rather sit through the SW Holiday Special...and that is saying quite a bit.

They're not gay...they're hetero-life partners.
There is a blurb in the new TV Guide that some nut is claiming SB to be promoting homosexuality. One, he has a friendship with another member of the same sex. And two, so what if he was?
There is some other PBS show that was attacked by the gov't for showing a maple syrup farm run by lesbians. They actually told PBS to reconsider these things in the future if they wanted funding.

Ditto that. If Fell's already given his away I can hook you up too.

There is just something wrong about kids training their pets to beat up other kids pets.

CoH has spawned it's own "All Your Base Are Belong to Us" phenomenon (do-do-doo-doo-do).
Someone got a blind team invite and joined. The leader said "Kill Skuls" and just stood around while everyone on the team did his mission for him.
The person posted his story on the forums and it has become unstoppable! Even some of the devs are having fun posting about it.
Kill Skuls!
