Love series seven. I always bring it up when the whole Hunger Games vs. Battle Royale thing pops up in mixed company but i'm usually the only one in the room who's seen it.

I was well into my twenties then though i found the strogg-ification scene in quake 4 to be pretty disturbing.

Old man stauf built a house and filled it with his toys

I was thinking the same thing. Such an awesome book.

I also thought of McCaffrey when i saw the pic. Wasn't he the original voice actor for Max, or am i remembering that wrong.

The brave and the bold theme kind of reminds me of the theme to cowboy bebop.

High School of the Dead, man was that a disappointment. The initial sequence showed a lot of promise, maybe derivative of every other zombie movie but in any case fun and then they ruined it with the realistic boob physics 3mins in. The sad part is that, it'd be a pretty good anime (the horror aspect is something…

I wonder if they'd bid this out competitively or if they've got a GC that they like to use. I wouldn't be surprised if the architecture firm has a contractor they'd prefer to use (client willing,) due to the seemingly complex nature of the design.

I like that as an idea, low-tech, cheap, and functional.

They most likely mean storing rainwater in tanks and then running through an irrigation system. Still, i lol'ed at your comment. So much of green design is taking cues from nature that when you do see it implemented you can't sometimes help but think "duh." But it still takes a designer willing to implement it and a…

Oh okay, never mind then. :)

That's funny, i was reading it in the exact same way....

Who's to say we're not currently sending messages back in time (from some point in the distant future) as we speak, messages which we lack the ability to understand?
