I believe in luck...the bad kind. Nothing good ever happens for me without my working for it, but bad stuff happens all the time that I have no control over!

Every time I see you post, I think it's me. Damn your name being so close to mine!

I take it that is part of the "Sexplane" characteristic??

What FC isn't telling us is that he knows what we saw in Afterburner in the arcades in the 80s is REAL. B-1Bs CAN refuel and rearm our fighters in flight...with 36 missiles at a time!!!

I really wanted to go, but my 6 month-old precluded that!

I liked ST: Armada, it was a good RTS albeit simple. Armada II ruined some of the basics in return for sorely needed graphics upgrades. I also like SFC1 and 2, but again SFC3 ruined the game in return for graphics improvements. Don't forget ST: Elite Force, a great scifi FPS even for people that didn't like ST or Voyager. There were many good ST games over the years, but ST: Elite Force 2, Legacy, and others brought it down. Legacy had the capacity to be good, as the modders showed, but it was forced out the door way too early and had a ton of stuff cut out of it just to make a stupid street date.

Star Trek needed something new after Voyager ended. Enterprise was not it. The concept was fine (although not great) but the execution was flawed. Nemesis as well. This is a blending of what ST:TOS was and Star Wars. "Real" Trekkies don't like Star Wars and are upset by any attempt to change ST, but the truth is every Star Wars film did better than the best of the ST films in the box office (ST4 which broke $100m). I hope one day we'll see another ST series, although when or what I've no idea, but for now this Abrams film is it.

Everything is right but the speed. The F-111 could go supersonic at sea level, but the B-1B was more high subsonic. I mean, 600kts is still damn fast at 200 ft, but I think only the Vark was ever meant to actually break Mach 1 down there...not that I know how often they'd tempt fate and actually DO that.

Don't forget: M for "miscellaneous" aircraft A for AAMs G for SAMs K for ASMs S for surface-surface missiles

Reports are this is an XBLA game, like a top-down shooter or something along the lines of the BSG game from a couple of years ago.

I saw it in HD during Heroes and it looked awesome! May will be a busy month for films. Wolverine, Star Trek, Angels and Demons, Terminator 4, Night at the Museum 2, Up...lots of big name and budget films coming out.

The nuts are everywhere.

Yeah, besides we all know it's the Border Patrol who are the REAL men!!

I say we all take this to L4D to prove our theories.

Wait, are you saying the Taliban are NOT chimps? Funny, I thought they were...

I don't think it should've been 2.75 hrs long, certainly. The 2nd FF4 film was better than the first because they cut it to 90 mins! Anyway, I think this is like The Spirit in being too obscure to do well. Of course, I would've predicted 300 to do poorly as well, so...

The A-10 was designed to replace the A-1 with the addition of "tank busting" to the CAS role. The losing Northrop A-9 (looked like an Su-25 in many respects) didn't have the massive gun and was pretty much pure CAS, no tank busting. The AV-8B serves that role for the USMC, but it can't hold what an A-1 or A-10 can.

This and the Su-27 were the only 2 Russian plane models I ever built. Fulcrums forever!

I've had both in several sims. Other than maybe 2-3 times for novelty's sake I've never much cared for IFR. Carrier landings I've done a lot more, especially back in Aces of the Pacific, 1942:PAW, and F-14: Fleet Defender. Even all the way back in F-19! I still have TK's sims, Il-2, and LOMAC with carrier ops, although I admit I rarely land...but I do takeoff all the time!

That's directly ripped out of Ace Combat!

So, anyone with expectations SoW will be out this year...prepare to be disappointed! At least ED released Black Shark.

As a guy with a 6 month-old at home, I totally get where you're coming from Laton!!

Severed Dreams was an excellent episode. I just recently rewatched the whole B5 saga, all seasons of both series and all TV/DVD films. Makes me sad that Legend of the Rangers, the one-off in 2001, was the last thing aired and that The Lost Tales, another one-off to DVD in 2007, was likely the last thing we'll ever see.

Red Storm Rising and Hunt for Red October. Both must haves!

I don't know, even against zombies I'll take the 3 round bursts. After all, you have to hit them all in the head!
