Comes a little late, but they are. Check the site from time to time, it should be up soon.

Also they're making another show with the Sims 2 Engine.

Alright, I have two good ones. An Imperial Lambda-class shuttle, and a Scimitar assault bomber.

I don't focus on the Yuusan vong, 'cause they aren't cool. too zerg-like for my tastes.

A lambda class shuttle has 8 front mounted laser cannons and two back mounted. I know there are a few that are double laser cannons, but I have class now and don't have time to wrack my brain.

Scimitar's have 2 laser cannons and 20 cuncussion missile launch tubes, each that hold 1 missile for carpet bombing runs.

I can recite Monty Python and the Holy Grail from memory (though I'm still working on the holy hand grenade). It really annoys my friends that I start muttering the lines under my breath whenever we put it on.

Oh and I have logged in about 90 hours on my game of Xenosaga (and I'm not done yet

). I think that a majority of those hours have been doing unrelated side stuff (casino, cards, AGWS game, etc.). That just shows that I have too much free time on my hands.

Before I even realized what a geek was, I was a big cartoon geek. I could identify all the major voice actors within seconds, recite a litany of other voices they have done, and sometimes even identify specific writers based on their style. I can still do *some* of this, but my powers have waned over the years. So tragic.

That's freekin' cool! Are their any specific cartoons you'd focus on, or did you have a rich knowledge of a wide variety?

I haven't played AD&D for at least 2 years, and before that I only played a few times a year for 2 more years... and yet despite the fact that I haven't played regularly for over four years I can still (nearly) quote the key stat adjustments:

to hit to dmg missle armor
Str 16 0 +1 DEX 15 0 -1
17 +1 +1 16 +1 -2
18 +1 +2 17 +1 -3
18/50 +1 +3 18 +2 -3
18/75 +2 +3
18/90 +2 +4
18/00 +3 +5
Mdef+
HP WIS 15 +1
Con 15 +1 16 +2
16 +2 17 +3
17 +2(+3) 18 +4
18 +2(+4)
note: regen starts at 20
1/6 turns

INT... ? Proficiency slots? Hardly significant...
CHA? Bonuses start at 14, but again, significant? I think not.

Oh, yeah, and I am really good at Transformer Trivia.

I ALWAYS used to do that to annoy everyone in my school. I sang it all the way to my house on a 20-minute bus ride once, only taking a breath every few minutes.

Hey, I remember yet another sad thing about me. I love The Nightmare Before Christmas. I watched it so many times that I memorised all of the songs. I'll type the second one here (It's my favorite!

)

There are few who deny
That what I do I am the best
For my talents are reknown far and wide

When it comes to surprises...
In the moonlit night
I excel with out ever even trying.

With the slightest little effort
Of my ghostlike charm
I have seen full men let out a shriek

With a wave of my hands and a well placed bone
I have swept the very bravest off thier feet.

Yet, year after year
It's the same old cheer
And I have grown so weary of the sounds of screams
And I, Jack, The Pumpkin King!
Have grown so very tired of the same old things...

Oh somewhere deep, inside of these bones
And emptiness began to grow
Oh somewhere out far from my home
A lonely that I have never known...

I am the master of Fright
And a demon of the night
And I will scare you out of your pants

To a guy in Kentucky
I'm mister unlucky!
And I'm known throught England and France!

And since I am dead I can take off my head
To recite Shakespearian quotations!
No animal or man, can scream like I can!
With the fury of my recitations

But who, here, would ever understand
That the Pumpkin King, with his skeleton grin
Would grow tired of his crown
If they only understood
That he'd give it all up, if he only could....

Oh somewhere deep, inside of these bones
An emptiness begins to grow
The fame and praise come year after year
Does nothing for these empty tears....

Nightmare before Christmas is friggin awesome.

I think you needed a new DM those two things can be very significant depending on how you play.

I thought the Yussan Vong were pretty cool but speaking of Zerg.
I at least used to be able to name every unit in starcraft. I don't know if I can still do it......
