Ovarian cancer is what took my mother. Whenever I see those pink ribbons, I wonder how much money is being diverted from things like that—which desperately need a crapton of research for early detection and effective treatment—just because breast cancer has the better marketing campaign.

Maybe some just deal with it better than others?

Well, not entirely unchanged...if you've spent centuries in Otherland but you're still fourteen in Indiana, you've spent more time there than here...which means you'll be supremely poorly adjusted for your brief stays.

Is it just me, or if you took this and a clip of Honey Boo Boo and switched the sound tracks, would anybody be able to tell the difference...?

And Japanese. The languages of all their ancestral foes.

Wasn't there something where that was just the War Machine armor repainted?

Titan, the Saudi Arabia of TransJovian space...

Same here, but then later I couldn't find any trace of it due to its never being re-played or released on video. I all but dismissed it as a trick of memory before I stumbled on an article online that talked about it...

Yeah, that's sort of my big problem with the premise...bad as what they were reacting to was, launching a nuclear weapon against their own country? Good-bye, moral superiority. Or any chance of getting out of this mess alive, for that matter.

I'll inform Director Fury the stealth features on the Phil Coulson need work. Can't do to have the new flagship helicarrier not ready for prime time...

Author confirms what everyone who read her books figured out 35 years ago...

OK, let's review.

The 'Test of Time' release actually continued the game with a separate map for the new planet, further technologies, and a native alien species. (That version of Civ II supported up to four maps/worlds at once. That would be a head trip with more modern versions.) This could lead to some truly interesting…

Completely obligatory. You are fined 1 Internet for this Fail.

There are a few in that area for some reason. You may be thinking of Ozkonak:

Going to have to reinstall it now. Like I have the spare time any more...

That sound you hear is Pluto laughing...

Eh, there's plenty of the free variety present. (In a few thousand years these will be viewed as 'ritual gatherings for the combined worship of communal totems and intermixture of isolated genetic groupings'. And they wouldn't be wrong, really...)

It needed an ending with the cat landing, safely and flawlessly, on all fours...then walking off like nothing happened.
