Oh, I like this idea. I'd love to see that. It's the sort of thing I can just about imagine the Chinese government doing as well.

Can you see the fjords from the moon? I suppose you can see Africa. Then again, they weren't humans, they were aliens hired by mice.

Get thee behind me, sinister ginger! No, wait, now I can't see you. Get thee back in front of me where I can keep an eye on you and your not-quite-right ways.

The Great Wall of China is visible from low earth orbit, although it's very difficult to make out and there are other man made objects and structures that are far clearer. It's definitely not visible from the moon, but then no man made object on Earth is.

CROM WHERE ARE DEH TWO SNAKES FACING EACH ODDAAAAAH

Over here in the (still, annoyingly) United Kingdom the Greens are doing pretty well by 1) being their own party and 2) having a bunch of sensible policies that people actually quite want, as well as caring about this whole "environment" thing.

Yeah all right hawking, it's a big responsibility but I'll do it.

One of them's a spider, and the other's a human. The basis is that they're not the same thing.

fun fact: Caine said he never saw the Jaws film he was in, but he saw the swimming pool it paid for every day.

I'm with you, Shockrates. It's first class space opera, I'd hate them to screw it up so someone else can't film it.

Always giving a f*ck when it ain't his turn.

this is the voice of the Mysterons....

I'm pretending he's still playing Dickie Bennet from Justified. Traded part of his soul to get out of the wheelchair (and indeed prison), and much prefers all this supernatural jiggery pokery to going up against Raylan again.

Bookfisher's mastery of tropes will destroy you. Give up now, before he forms the Wolverines and/or any of a hundred other ragtag under dog bands. Me, I'm going to hide in Lian Shang Po.

I'd have to say I agreed. It worked better as a set of interconnected jokes than it actually did as an RPG. If the setting guide is more entertaining than the game you've got a problem (although on the plus side, you've got an entertaining setting). Besides, I'm already kickstarterising the Lone Wolf RPG, and that…

Enhancedeaters, surely?

Didn't the Americans screw with Sweden back in the cold war, by pretending to be Russian submarine incursions in order to drive them into the arms of Nato?
I'm not saying it was Americans this time... it's definitely aliens.

The Guardians of the Galaxy trailers were fun, enjoyable, didn't ruin the movie, and got a hell of a lot of people interested in the films. Maybe not masterpieces, but excellent advertising.

It's also a strange coincidence that the manager of West Ham United was Jeremy Irons.

I would also have said the bullet train in Japan, but I'm thinking they're getting their electricity from fossil fuels these days. Still, it's not directly powered by fossil fuels and it's an awesome train, and ridiculously punctual. Also you can see mount Fuji from it, and I'm pretty sure you can't do that from a…
