Best. Game. Ever.Slomo said:Speaking of space. Has anyone tried playing Kerbal Space Program? It really does a great job in teaching how mass vs available velocity really works. Plus it teaches orbital dynamics and hohmann transfers in a really fun way- ie. explosions. I've played it through several times, and love their career & sandbox modes.
I have to agree with you about clone wars. While there were definitely some episodes that just plain sucked, there were also some really amazing arcs. In particular I remember sync watching the one where they're fighting in the jungle with an internet friend and both of us saying something to the effect of "holy shit this is supposed to be a kids show???". We also came to the conclusion that obi-wan is the most incompetent jedi, and the jedi council just didn't want to hurt his feelings by telling himAdorableRabbit said:You are undoubtedly picky, but that's your prerogative!
I thought they tended to have more variety, interest and drama than the ones in the movies!
Nah, the real issue is trying to compare between universes with completely different rulesets, and capabilities that were wildly inconsistent due to being changed on a whim because the writers needed something to happen a certain way. Jedi can block lasers all day while playing chess with one hand and juggling with the other... up until the point where there needs to be some dramatic tension. Borg can adapt on the fly to repel impacts from high power energy weapons... but somehow never get the hang of not being shredded by melee weapons when a writer wants to show how badass Warf is. I haven't followed warhammer particularly much, but iirc that universe has a bad habit of pulling forgotten superweapons out its ass.MommyandMattling said:The issue though, is the sheer scale, we're talking a billion human planets loaded with xenophobia, each with a fleet, with each ship having the capability of the death star.
