THE PACK Message Boards

The only commercial nuclear power station anywhere near the fighting is Zaporizhia, and that's something like 200 km away from the current front line. There's an unfinished reactor somewhere near Kharkiv, but that's it. The cease-fire is the thing that has me worried. The separatists are making nois...

I don't know... I'm usually a big fan of in-camera effects, but my instincts are that this thing would require a full CGI turkey baster.

I just saw pictures of the Donetsk Prokofiev International Airport (or rather what little is left of it) the other day. Wow. Brand new and now it's just gone . I don't even want to think of how much artillery they had to fire to get that level of devastation. The whole place looks like a big garden ...

Hmmm... Somebody should PM Shadow Wulf.

As for the matador example, bulls are monumentally stupid creatures. You can show them the same move limitless times and they will never learn. They'll always go for the movement no matter how many times that approach fails. Also, although fast, they are not particularly agile. They are also herbivo...

Okay, dumb question: What would be the difference between a hybrid-form werewolf and a normal human armed with a pair of melee weapons like trench knives or short swords or something? Personally, I would view a werewolf as being more than able to take on a Grizzly, but the idea of myself taking on s...

That is creepy.

First off, welcome back. Where have you been all this time? Second, this sounds a lot like something that got tagged "The Ghost Wolf" back in my hometown. The Ghost Wolf had a lot of the same stuff. Generally localized, only the Wolf supposedly had the ability to cause disorientation -- ma...

Yeah. Wolves here in North America (in packs) occasionally take on (and successfully take down ) bison. That's about the biggest -- or at least heaviest animal on this continent (not to mention surly bastards to boot). A wolf would not be taking the likes of that all alone. I've seen footage of a wo...

I think it would go back to what the powers of the werewolf were. If it's the comic book werewolf that can tear apart a car, then I think you just answered your own question. If it's more like the werewolves of Freeborn or when transformed is "just a wolf", then it would get closer to what...

Apparently the Russians had to close the banks because the Ruble is in free-fall. I don't think Putin has a clue what he's doing or how to get out of it. The only country that's more goofed-up by this right now is Ukraine. This is really sad.

They just finished de-fueling one of the reactors. Three more to go.

Yeah, or do what I do with cr@p movies: Wait for them to come out on Netflix.

Meh. I like stupid-funny movies, but it's really hard to not miss stupid-funny and hit just-stupid instead. Dragnet is my perfect example of a stupid-fun movie. The Naked Gun is still enjoyable, but it's just beginning to drift into just-stupid territory. I'm having difficulty believing that Wolf Co...

Oh, hey. Yeah, how is the upgrade going?

EDIT: Am I the only one having trouble going to pages in a thread past the first one?

Meh... Still less irritating on our end than running Windows Update...

On the other hand, Turkey's prime minister has already expressed a belief that Syria can't get any worse by Assad's removal. Near as I can guess, the only reason they haven't intervened yet is because Mr. Cold-War-Aint-Over-Yet in Russia is standing by Assad, ergo they want the support of the inter...

Damn! I hadn't thought about that. My turkey baster idea would eat up the whole $4 budget.

First off: That's hilarious. Second: I have no difficulty believing this ass-douche was an American. Third: I bet I know the practical reason he called Slovenia by accident. I bet he was trying for an area code (three digits), and added an extension number on the end. If you're dialing an extension,...

If he's got a human friend, then he has somebody to wrap him up in steel chains with a padlock. They sell that stuff at the hardware store by the foot, and it's not all that expensive.

As for having a pack, if he goes nuts under the full moon, why wouldn't the whole pack?

Sure. That could happen. Why would that make the lone-wolf dangerous, though? Why would he be any more likely to go nuts and start killing people then if he had a pack? Him being a danger is still based upon who he is as a person, not on the circumstances of his infection.

Are you f***ing kidding me?!

Well, that was one college trust fund well spent.

Are you kidding? It's got a Dothraki werewolf. How can that not be awesome?

A new werewolf action(ish) movie is coming out starring Jason Momoa click here. The trailer actually looks sort of cool. It's probably going to be light on story, or plot, or writing -- but the fight scenes look sort of good. If the reviews are good (it's coming out in mid-November) I might even go ...

Dude, it's the Martian language.
