Re: Sunshine (90 replies, posted in Episodes)
Capa isn't a bad guy! He just knew the bomb wouldn't do anything and everyone else tries to force him to activate something that's not actually there.
Maybe we and they think Capa's gone crazy, but it turns out the rest of the crew is who goes "crazy".
....Man I would watch that movie.

Re: Sunshine (90 replies, posted in Episodes)
It could easily be that Capa was able to make sure he was the one sent on the mission, to make sure another guy wouldn't do it.
If you wanted a really dark ending, maybe the designers knew the ship wasn't going to do a damn thing, but "people need hope" was a motivation to bring the world together instead of it turning into anarchy. Maybe Capa tells the crew it won't work and they don't believe him, resulting in his capture.
It ends with, guess what, the "bomb" doing nothing.

Re: Sunshine (90 replies, posted in Episodes)
What if the second act involved them getting near the sun, but Capa is the one who decides they shouldn't save humanity? The third act involves the others trying to convince/force him to come around, and it's about whether he has the right to make that choice.
Capa could escape and feel like he has to kill the others. Maybe that's a better third act? The only guy who can operate the bomb, who some others have sacrificed their lives for, won't do it?

Re: The Princess Bride (50 replies, posted in Episodes)
Incidentally, I just listened to this commentary again, and you guys pitched a "remake" with Morgan Freeman as the hag who shouts at Buttercup.
NOnononononono.
Sam Jackson. THAT'S who should be the hag.

Can confirm it's a good book.

Re: Why do I hate The Game of Thrones? (32 replies, posted in Off Topic)
I don't watch it because the exploitation of sex reeks of sleaze.
It may be well produced, but they know damn sure that a hell of a lot of viewers would not watch the show if the sex wasn't such a big part of it. And "they" being the people who talk about how empowered the women are in the show.
That's my emotional reaction to it.

Re: Pitch for a better forum format (22 replies, posted in Off Topic)
My facebook comparison was maybe less apt.
Clarification: I LIKE this community. It's just hard to follow some of the more meaty topics because of the format.

Topic: Pitch for a better forum format (22 replies, posted in Off Topic)
Bear with me, for all I know this exists already, but here's my thought process...
I can't but notice the format of every forum I've ever seen (granted, not many) happen to have very similar characteristics that actually seem to inhibit group discussions:
First person starts a topic, makes a few points. Second person quotes them, makes a few counterpoints, and gives another point tangentially related. Third person, in order to engage with both of them, has to quote them separately, and respond in one post. If they want to make their own point, they splinter the conversation even further.
By the fifteenth person, there are multiple threads of conversation all related to the main subject that become very difficult to follow because forums are essentially email chains, where each post, regardless of subject, is shown chronologically.
I don't think this is the best way to have group discussions. So why don't forums adopt the format of a lot of comment sections in websites, or, even better, Facebook-types? Person 1 makes a point or asks a question, and everyone can respond to it, then make their own points, which can be responded to in a clear conversation-tree format? That way you can always follow a particular conversation to its conclusion before picking up the next thread.

Re: Bedroom media setup (11 replies, posted in Off Topic)
Teague what kind of projector is it?
Faldor I'll keep that in mind.

Topic: Bedroom media setup (11 replies, posted in Off Topic)
I'm appealing to anyone who knows about projectors.
I'm considering getting a media projector for my bedroom. My wife and I like to watch movies together, and while a tablet works, it can be cumbersome.
I have no idea where to start. So I'll list my needs and environment, and maybe you guys can make recommendations.
1. We already have speakers.
2. The room is about 15' by 15'.
3. The projector would be casting from just inside our open closet.
4. We live in a finished basement, so light pollution is not a problem.
5. It doesn't have to be the most incredible viewing experience. It just has to be pleasant and clear.
Help?

Re: Jaws (21 replies, posted in Episodes)
Lol I'm 25 and my voice still cracks occasionally.
I'll have to check out that other one.
We should just make an anti-trailer, containing all the vocal flubs from the commentaries.

Re: Jaws (21 replies, posted in Episodes)
Right in the middle of a random conversation about the Happening.
55:05 in the file.
You just got excited I guess

Re: Jaws (21 replies, posted in Episodes)
Best damn part of this commentary is when Teague yells, "Hey, look! Jaws!"
And his voice cracks three octaves high.
I rewound and listened to it over and over. It was hilarious.

Re: Prince Rupert's Drops as Arrowheads (35 replies, posted in Off Topic)
I like the trap idea, maybe.
Also in response to your manufacturing questions, Teague, I don't know if they could be made with more consistent, less spindly tails. Maybe if they were dropped into a narrow tube of water instead of a bucket.
If this did result in stronger Drops, I'm guessing even ones strong enough to survive the 5 g's would shatter on impact with hard surfaces like shields. If they hit flesh, they might pierce without blowing up....
...only to shatter into a gazillion pieces inside the wound when it hits bone or a surgeon tries to remove it.

In an Iron age society, even if the enemy with the glass is more advanced, I don't know if mass produced chemical weapons is more practical than glass.
