[Excel Saga!]

Patlabor 1 and 2 are AMAZING.

The best Anime series of all time, however, has to be Excel Saga!

A Blog invasion?!

Truly, a terrifying concept!

Or the Dredd case files. Oh, that reminds me!

Freelancer is good if you like to combine exploration with action. You can trade commodities or blow up space pirates for fun and profit!

In strategy terms Ground control 2 is a decent choice. You should seriously consider non-sci-fi strategy games though. There are so many great ones out there: Rome:Total war, Warcraft 3 etc.

I still love my RPG's though,and you can't beat Knights of the old republic. The sequel wasn't as good but is worth buying.

You lie! There's no such thing as a wather baloon!

Thread Zero kicks ass.

The girl of your dreams has told you that she loves you, but you know that if you went out with her that it would put her in constant danger, unless you gave up the superheroiscism. What do you do?

Stay with her and avoid heroics. Only put her life in danger if she starts talking about marriage.

5 You have been incarcerated in a mental institution because no one else believes you when you say that the world as we know it will end in August 1997. Meanwhile a robot from the future is trying to assassinate your son.

Try really hard to kill lots of people, preferably by pretending to be friends and stabbing/shooting them in the back.

On top of this, the weather turns to storms and the funding is fast running out.

Didn't like this at all. Was Linehan writing it in his sleep or what?

This site seems alright for finding free web space.

http://www.freewebspace.net/>Freewebspace.

It lets you set what condition you want or dont want and has reviews to give you anidea how good each service is.

DEATH DIMENSION!

A deadly freeze bomb threatens humanity and only Jim Kelly (Enter the dragon) the Kung Fu cop can save us all. Also featuring Harold (Odd Job) Sakarta as the villain and George Lazenby (James Bond) as the police chief!

Along the way there's time for a car chase, a boat chase and a helicopter chase - with dynamite!

2016: AFTER THE FALL OF NEW YORK is also fantastic.

Ooh! Ooh! I love these guessing games! Can I have a go, Amstor?

-- What is Ravne? It appears he may be some kind of artificial human, as his "history" seems to begin in that tube in Prague back in the 17th century.

I think he could be a golem. Why he isn't like the other ones we've seen is a bit weird though.  

-- What does Kostabi really want the Cabs crew for? Are they really "lightning conductors"?

Kostabi has some sinister plan in mind and he probably plans to manipulate Caballlistics inc. into unwittingly helping him by obtaining some artifact or (as is more likely) killing lots of people (or demons) that threaten his plans.

-- Who/what is Kostabi? Fallen angel? Elder god (going back to the "Nyartholep" graffiti)?

Kostabi might to be posessed by the angel guy from the last episode which "could" explain why they look the same.

-- Is Jennifer really still alive, or is the demon just animating a corpse?

The demon says she's keeping Jenny alive by staying in her body, but as to whether she's telling the truth...

-- What the hell is Ravne doing with Slater?

Slater was in a Jar that looked a lot like the one Ravne was created in. So maybe this is an imposter Slater? If he was under Ravne's control he could use him to get close to Kostabi.

-- What is Magister planning?

Maybe Magister is interested in nailing Ravne using Jenny's help. This might explain why Jenny is best friends with him now.

Wasn't there a homonuculus floating around somewhere too? Am I just imagining that's significant?

Well done LMS!

Well deserved.

I might give it a go. If I can get off my rear end long enough to do so.

Eh, sorry to ask a stupid question but this is a text story, right? As opposed to a comicy thing?

Somewhere, not so far away, a Rebellion programmer is reading this thread and uttering foul curses against us all.

Personally, I am hoping that Helm, Gunnar, and Bag-Man will be seeing alot of use in the game.

On a related topic, here are Jared's rules for puntuation.

Commas: Put as many of these as possible in a sentence. If you're not sure if a sentence needs a comma, put one in anyway!

Semicolons (Or colons): If you have loads of commas, use one of these instead. People will think you're sexy and mysterious if you drop a few of these into a paragraph.

Full stops: Try and make your sentences as long as possible to avoid having to put one of these in. Substitute commas if possible.

Hyphen (I think): Use this sometimes when you're shortening words. ie. shipses becomes ship's. Only use it if there's an "s" nearby or you'll get in trouble.

Exclamation marks: Use these to make sentences more exciting. ie. "I'll go, then!"

All other punctuation is basically useless except interrodents, which are a question mark and an exclamation mark AT THE SAME TIME!

I figure Billi will die and the two of them will leave the city "for good", only to return in the next story to kill Apellido because he's trying to kill Kal.

I'd prefer if they both died though as this is the best story they've had in ages.

Also, I think Abnett's either forgotten about alternate reality Moses or he's planning to use him in a totally different storyline. Otherwise things would get a little confusing.
