Or, for another option, go as one of Hojo's SOLDIER projects from Final Fantasy VII. To do the costume all you need to do is: get/use a sharpie to write some roman numeral on your upper right arm; wear black pants, boots shirt, and trench coat. Then whenever some one tries to talk to you, just...

Eh, it depends a lot on weather you can get friends to sit around a table with you or not. If you can get friends, then D20 modern, the Star Wars RPG, GURPS future, most of the stuff put out by White Wolf Studios, Rifts and a bunch of the Munchkins sets from SJG. If not, then the other games...

Eh, here's mine: You first create your standard high-fantasy RPG hero, who then sits around with his party, playing a tabletop RPG set in a no-magic industrial world as a student, worker etc.

Bad Mechanic stereotype: greasy coveralls, shop rags, smokes, and boots.

Simple, I haven't slept in about 24 hours, that's why. It looked about right to me, though I got most of the math wrong. I can either redo it in this post, or edit the above one, if you prefer. I also had one semester of physics and one semester of chemistry, neither of which dealt with mole...

Funny, "Assuming that there is one atom of I-131 left in the biosphere from Chernobyl accident, how much I-131 would have had to be released at the time of the accident?" is the first question that the OP asked for. Assuming that radioactive decay follows a simple exponential decay (I never got...

I'd steal a wolf. My plan for stealing said wolf: 1. Get a pickup truck, preferably one with a canopy, and a couple of sheets of plywood, and a steak. 2. Go to the zoo, around 2-3am. Hop the fence, being sure to lay plywood sheets as ramps from the fence. 3. Set up a ramp from the wolf...

I hate to bring up the ultra old school, but if you can wrangle up some friends, a good old pen and paper RPG might be up your alley.

The way I see it, if a draft were to be implemented, I'd do my damn best to volunteer into one of the non-cannon fodder jobs, like Explosives and Ordinance Disposal, or in the motor pool. So yes, I'd join up if a draft was implemented, but only if.

So, you like proprietary hardware that you have to pay more for, with less options than lets say, Linux. Yes, Linux is the basis of the whole Macintosh OSX version whatever, but with it, once configured you can use any bit of hardware that'll fit. Sorry about the pro-Linux rant, but yes, I...

Jackson. Which would be worse: Syphilis or Gonorrhea?

I think that there's a psychological mechanism that allows someone to project what they believe to be true, to the exclusion of reason. However, debating over what "looks better" is pointless, as is debating on pretty much any other subjective item, as both of you could be correct, or both of...

Watching "According to Jim", as it's the more lasting pain. Czarist Russia or Soviet Russia?

Playing Counterstrike 1.something, downing 2 snipers with one blast from my shotgun. Yeah, I was that bastard who would sneak up on the campers and blow them away with the pump-action shotgun.

Fine, here's one that people shouldn't mind too much, either Zone of the Enders (just get the Neon Genesis Evangallion people to do it,) or The Bouncer, yes the bouncer; it has just about the right length, and it's been a while since a movie about being a bar brawler has come out.
