Mass Effect's inventory is practically limitless, or very large, anyway.

I'm not exactly a veteran, I've played one 3.5e character up to 6th level and one 4e character up to 4th, but I think I can say that D&D doesn't exactly need technical skills to be fun, though they can be useful. For example, making awesome battle plans that play to your characters' strengths...

I'm going off to college in September and this is the first bit of brilliant advice I haven't already heard, so thank you very much. OT: If you're going into a science or engineering major, be sure to do some legitimate research in a professor's lab before you leave, ideally starting in your...

I tried to start a discussion on the differences between competitive and pub play in TF2. I got one response. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/9.139400-How-does-competitive-play-change-Team-Fortress-2#3131153

The problem, of course, being that if the stopping of time meant the person trying to kill you couldn't move (which I assume you were implying), it would also mean you couldn't move, if not because the time-stop would have the same effect on you, then because it would prevent the air, your...

I just picked up a flute yesterday because I thought learning to play one would be fun and I really enjoy all the Celtic, classical and Jethro Tull music I've heard with flutes in. At this point I can make an embouchure that works for the top three or so notes on the flute, and I can't reliably...

Good purple/red three-incher across the top of my left foot from helping a remodeling contractor carry a cast-iron banister without shoes on, which was idiotic. Nearly invisible one-inch on stomach from biking a long time ago. Circular pink thing on left wrist where a ski pole wore a patch of...

My favorite gun so far is made by Dahl (and I've had plenty of good Dahl guns in the past), but I'd say I generally prefer Atlas next. Also, the manufacturer who "doesn't make their guns out of freakin' wood" is Torgue, though the same could be said for Tediore.

Sins of a Solar Empire with Half-Life 2, though my idea was a combo of an FPS, a flight sim, and an RTS. Also, Half-Life 2 has a story, which Sins sorely lacks.

Well, if you own mostly PC games and don't want to buy up PS3 games so you have something to do with your new console, go with the graphics card. I am a PC gamer, though, so I'm probably biased.

A sentry gun (and thereby and engineer).

This guy is semi-local, I might get to do a workshop with him in April. Hopefully I have this song more or less down by that time.

We have had 147" in the mountains at Salt Lake City, and a few good powder days. All the resorts need a deeper base though, I'm scared to bring out my new skis. We currently have an inch or two in town, but we'll get plenty in February.

If you meant ">", then I agree, though you could replace "Scotty/Spock" with pretty much any other bridge officer on the original Enterprise, with the possible exception of Chekov. Also: Sam > Frodo Jayne/Wash > Mal (possibly, I'm still undecided) Starbuck > Both Adamas > Dr. Baltar Gadfium...
