7:23. My next impression: Senator Obama was doing really well until he reacted to Senator McCains comments on taxes. At that point, he seemed turn stumble a little. 7:26. Senator McCain appears very stiff to me. Like he is uncomfortable, this isn’t anything new though-I think he always looks stiff. 7:30. On direct questions,...
I’m watching the first debate and my very first impression is that McCain isn’t paying attention to Obama when he’s talking. When they split the screen, McCain is looking down or away. That bugs me. I don’t know why.
The thing about new glasses is that you have to get used to them, which sucks. In case I didn’t mention, I broke my glasses recently and was forced to get a new pair. That was a little mini adventure involving 2 for $99 and an eye exam. I understand, really, I do –...
I think this sign pretty much speaks for itself: The only sign I’ve seen that could possibly top this one was one that read: “Please do not flick boogers onto the door as I am tired of cleaning them up.” ~P
Star Trek: Battle of Wolf 359 We are the Borg. Existence, as you know it, is over. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Resistance is futile. The Battle of Wolf 359. 40 Starfleet ships and a large number of Klingon battle cruisers versus a single Borg Cube. It took...
Battlestar Galactica – Again. You know you kick some ass if you can show up on the list of Best Space Battles ever more than once. In this case, it’s time to head to New Caprica and kick some ass and what better way to do that then to jump your Battlestar into the...
Babylon 5 What’s a solidier to do when faced with illegal orders and a government that isn’t listening? Well, if you’re John Sheridan, you secede and declare your independence. When that brings your own people down on you in a civil war, you have no choice but to fight to defend all that you...
Farscape “Once upon a time there was a boy named John and John was an astronaut. He lived in a far away place called Earth which is so far away you’ve never heard of it. One day when John was out doing astronaut things a big, blue wormhole gobbled him up and spat him...
Battlestar Galactica Your colony worlds have been destroyed or devastated by nuclear attack. Your military has been eliminated by an enemy that can simply turn off your ships and pick them off one by one while they float, harmlessly, through space. You have exactly 50,000 survivors left and one very old Battlestar to protect...
Well – I caved. I bought Spore today. I’m installing it even as I type. Should be pretty interesting. All the hype aside, if it delivers on half of what’s been promised, it will be an amazing little game.
Star Wars: Episode IV This was it – the battle to end all battles. The Rebel Alliance sending snub fighters against the Empire’s most powerful weapon ever: The Death Star! What? You telling me you couldn’t bullseye something the size of a wamprat with your T16? This battle set a tone for every space...
Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. This is visually one of the coolest space battles ever. In orbit over Coruscant the forces of the Republic battle the Separatists who’ve somehow managed to kidnap Chancellor Palpatine. The Jedi Knights Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker are tasked with saving him so they have to...
Serenity. If you haven’t seen Serenity yet, well, leave. Just leave. I mean, honestly – what the hell? The battle between the Alliance Armada and the Reavers is intense. It happens so fast you have a difficult time keeping up. Serenity is weaving in and out, Reavers are ripping up Alliance cruisers (thankfully redesigned...
When you look at the scifi movie landscape, what puts butts in the seats? The answer most authors want to hear is a ‘good story’. But, honestly, while a good or even a great story really will bring butts to the seats, a massive and shiny space battle is what we remember when it’s...
Well, I had some issues after the last upgrade. This included phantom tags on posts and the visual/html buttons not working one bit. My webhost is notoriously slow when it comes to ftp type stuff, so I was understandibly reluctant to do any work on the site and kept putting it off. Tonight, I...
