It does rather take a couple of readings to get the bigger picture ... let's not forget that it's not so much a finished book as a bunch of heavily-edited notes. The stories overlap rather a lot, much like real history does, and of course there are usually at least three differing kingdoms existing at any one time so there's a lot of story going on at relatively the same timeYou read and understood the simarillion? I read the book, but it was som confusing I didn't get much out of it.
OT: I once had a discussion about whether you could detonate bombs in the earth's crust and generate earthquakes.
I'd go for imperial navy personally, they tend to live longer. Entire legions of guardsmen can be wiped out without anybody batting an eyelid, but an Emperor class battleship takes some serious firepower to slag.tanithwolf said:Also having in depth discussions with a friend over what we would like to be if we were ever in the Imperial Guard. I maintain Commisar as I think it's a hilarious idea to shoot people to improve morale.
Sounds good put you always have to worry about warpstorms. Anyway my friend always insists that you'd be a ground trooper, not driving a vehicle. If I could pick I'd be a commisar in a tank so I can yell "Drive me closer, I want to hit them with my sword. But first drive me by that squad I want to improve their morale, this turret should be quite effective".dee_dubs said:I'd go for imperial navy personally, they tend to live longer.

You win my life for the Cowboy Bebop thing.thejoshualee said:Subjects of a few of my papers:
-Freudian analysis of "Born in the U.S.A."
-Neon Genesis Evangelion from a Post-colonial view.
-Queer theory and Cowboy Beebop
-How Beck music videos incorporate Laconic ideology.
-Standard deconstruction of the Haunted Mansion attraction at Disneyland (with a few words about the Disney World version).
it starts to be a game after a while.
I agree. Although Genghis Khan did knock up enough people to be ansestor to .5% of the planet. Which is pretty pimpin'.Loiosh91 said:i call BS...Alexander was ballin', end of storyDirty Apple said:3. Genghis Khan > Alexander The Great
OK, I brought this up with my friends, and I have a new contender for nerdiest thing I've ever said - my argument that time travel will never happen because we haven't met time travellers from the future was countered by the possibility that perhaps we first need to build, say, a Stargate, which will allow us when we make the time machines further in the future, to access our current time zone, or whatever.SICK0_ZER0 said:>and why it is only possible to go forward in time and not backwards<fedpayne said:Time travel will never be invented. If it is, some point in the future, then we would have already met people who had come back. They wouldn't have been able to stay quiet.SICK0_ZER0 said:i talk about time travel, and the repercussions of it, and why it is only possible to go forward in time and not backwards (probably). a lot.
They would have gone back to Dallas, in November 1963, stand on the grassy knoll and shout "Duck!" ... Oh, I'm sorry, I must have bypassed my "Good Taste" chip!
Hmmm.
Quoting Red Dwarf. Also pretty nerdy.
Yay new series!
