THE PACK Message Boards

I get why he's encouraging it, but the problem isn't that the school days aren't long enough. The problem is that the kids get bored with the material and would rather be at home playing Guitar Hero III or whatever. Obama's message to the students at the beginning of the school year was about respo...

Military stuffs Uh, Scott, there's a big difference here, though. Those American Militia men, those Iraqi Insurgeants, those Afghani terrorists? They're intelligent . They're people-smart. They have the ingeniouity to take inferior equipment and use it to set up traps, ambushes, etc. to screw over ...

It's sad when political know-how is considered mandatory... I fail to see how knowing who and what is running your country is "sad." Democracy doesn't work if you sit on your a**. Being expected to know the names, views, policies, and actions of every governmental figure is ridiculous, ju...

Damn! Do want.

How are those legs handled? Is it just some visual feature that hides that you're actually walking normally?

So the zombies using guns in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. might not be that unusual. It would indicate that they were familiar with guns in their previous lives and still retain some vague memories of how to use them. They might not remember how to recognize an enemy, aim or reload, but they do remember "po...

You're right. We can't go to outer space if this outbreak happens today. But what does the future hold? At this point, we don't know. In the 1960s, they said by the year 2000 we'll have flying cars. Well, where are they? If the outbreak happened in the future, wolfie would be screwed , period. Look...

Bwhahaha, that's hilarious.

Should've made his fur pink, too!

Every time I open this thread I'm more and more tempted to get CO.

I was a beta tester. Well, in name only . I signed in like, once and never did again because I'm terrible at s*** like that it seems. Character creation was fairly neat, though I never got much further than that - the one time I signed it I must've signed in before maintenance because the servers we...

Regarding blood splatters, well. . . Even if their hearts aren't beating anymore, the average zombie should still have plenty of fluids in it. Grapefruits don't have pulses either, but cutting or prodding one of those the wrong way can still send fluids flying into your face too. It might not spray...

Have you read World War Z? It goes into detail about how (hypothetically) the military gets its a** kicked precisely because they're using technology and tactics which worked great in the last war, but not great in the current one, i.e. against zombies. It relies heavily on Author Fiat. The notion ...

Get the f*** out to sea with some fishing gear. Staying on land is kind of a bad idea at this point. Though I think that like zombie apocalypses, in this situation the military would eventually win. You are, after all, pitting something of less-than-human intellect with no tools and naught but it's ...

Let's see: 5 is absolutely, positively right. Either you're armed beforehand or you're not armed - simple as that. 4 is a bit flawed. It makes the assumption that everyone will flee town via car. With, say, a bicycle, one could get out of town. Hell, if it's a mountain bike you can even skip roads i...

Well, given the tendencies of the canine eye, I think traffic lights are out. They'd only see "Stop" and "Caution" very well.

I'd say it'd return at the normal rate.

On the budgetting of material and energy, I'm fairly sure that hair ranks pretty low in the body's priorities. Not particularly worth applying the whole super-regen to, which is probably something that eats up a lot of energy to begin with.

It's kind of a rotten way to do business, but at the same time it's a totally legitimate way to do it. Capitalism is all about this sort of stuff. *shrug* Capitalism is all about competition, not crushing it. Monopolies can't exist for long in capitalism, as you can see: Then they'll crash and burn...

A Vampire, in the traditional sense, is an undead creature that drinks blood. By that definition, it's very easy to attach a morality to the creature, and very difficult to remove the "horror" from said creature. Not particularly. A vampire doesn't need to kill someone when they drink blo...

"FIGAROU is our innovative solution for indexing and retrieving videos in large archives. "

Haha, so fitting given that Fig himself is so fond of movies and such.

VAMPIRES...SHOULDN'T...SPARKLE! They shouldnt be nice, they should KILL people! While I agree with not sparkling (that's more Fey territory), I don't think vampires should have to be mean and have to kill people. That's silly. It's like saying werewolves should all be mindless killing machines that...

Like my eyes, they change just about every day, from a serious pitch black to a bright Goldish color, my mother has it too. I can't recall what it was called or the details, but I believe it may have been mentioned earlier in the thread that this isn't entirely uncommon and has to do with light or ...

I'm hoping they will have a free trial for this. I would love to test this game before actually buying it. MMORPG never really interested me much. But this one might make the change for me. This sums it up for me. I don't often get interested in MMORPGs (well, in a serious way, anyways) and didn't ...

I personally don't think that most werewolves would be the type to go in for a job that involves having a career. If a hypothetical werewolf were to become a law enforcement officer, it would be very difficult, if a hunter or other inconvenient human got on his trail, to just pack up and move out. ...
