I just finished 'the prince', the collected stories of the Fall of the CoDominium, and the thought of Doug in the universe keeps bouncing into my skull, but I cannot for the life of me figure out where a dimensionally displaced metahuman fits in in a Kipling Revived future infantry warfare situation.
But it keeps niggling at me.. grr.Wire Geek - Burning the weak and trampling the dead since 1979

It's an interesting game, and internally self-consistent (I think), but if Doug were to end up dumped into the setting for Diana: Warrior Princess, he might yearn for the relative sanity of the Urusei Yatsura or Paranoia settings...
(For those of you not familiar with the game, imagine a television-series production company a few centuries down the line taking as much care and attention with our time as our time's television-series production companies took with ancient Greece to create Xena: Warrior Princess, and producing the title series. The "spinoff series" supplement Elvis: The Legendary Tours is also available.)
Doug would hate it. The readers would probably love it. I don't have time to write it...

I get intimidated by the task of replying to all the creativity in this forum, so I put off even looking at it for a day... and then another day... and then yet another day... and next thing you know, it's been three months or more since I looked at anything here. I'm going to try to address things in here now, a little bit at a time, and try to catch up. My apologies.

I have trolled these boards and FF.net (as much as I can tolerate) to no avail. So I'm posting this in hopes that someone can remember.
A while back (it may have been eaten by the forums) someone posted a link to a Naruto fanfic. I wish I had bookmarked it, but here is what i can remember.
It was of decent size, at least three chapters.
One of the major plot points was that Naruto though he was Kyubi, and has a bit of a breakdown when he realizes he isn't.
It's a bit of super!naturo, but not overly so (yeah, i know this is really helpful)
In the chapters I had gotten through there was a start of Naruto/Hinita
If this rings any bells I would greatly appreciate a pointer.-Terry

I've been tryig to branch out into non-anime fanfic recently. I read a lot of Buffy stuff. One thing I noticed: Xander gets all the love. I mean, he gets to be a Jedi, a warlock, a superhero and on and on...
Most of the time, this is via the conceit of using the Halloween episode (you know which one)...
BUT...
I have yet to read a single story where Willow, Buffy or any of the other cast ever get anything interesting out of the Halloween episode hijinks. Does anybody know one where someone else, other than Xander, has their life changed by that episode?

Boy, they really must had been rattled!
Hmmm...do you think they'll break out the Gundams now?

Some stream of consciousness thoughts:
Okay, esper, time traveler and alien.
Why not a traveler from another dimension?
I can see Doug getting stuck there and can't figure out why.
So how does he get back to traveling?
Doug as advisor to the SOS brigade.

What would Doug's attitude be toward a proto-God?

As ninety-nine crab rangoons go by...

I'm getting a nice new LCD monitor as a belated birthday present and I decided I might as well get a new video card to go with it -- and max out my COH experience. Now I know that (at least according to my COV box) the recommended chipset is the nVidia GeForce 6200, but that doesn't say anything about manufacturers. Who's got the best 6200-based card out there?
And does anyone know anything about the PhysX 3D coprocessor? Has anyone tried it and can make a recommendation?
Thanks!

There are some interesting songs on Lazytown, a children's TV show on Nick Jr. I would really like to see what the effects of this song.
"You Are A Pirate"
Do what you want, 'cause a pirate is free
You are a pirate
*Yar Har Fiddledeedee
Being a pirate is alright with me
Do what you want, 'cause a pirate is free
You are a pirate
You are a pirate (Yeah)
We got us a map (A map)
To lead us to a hidden box
That's all locked up with locks (with locks)
And buried deep away
We'll dig up the box (the box)
We know its full of precious booty
First open the locks
And then we'll say hurray!
**Yar Har Fiddledeedee
If you love to sail the sea
You are a pirate
(Weigh Anchor)
*repeat
Arr Yarr Ahoy and Avast
Dig a deep trench, and dig it deep fast
Hang the black flag at the end of the mast
You are a pirate
(Yay)
We're sailing away (set sail)
Adventure waits on every shore
We set sail and explore (Yarr Harr)
And run and jump all day
We float in our boat (the boat)
Until it's time to drop the anchor
Then hang up our coats
Until we sail again
**repeat
(Land Ho)
*repeat
Yarr Harr
Wind at yer back lads, wherever you go
Blue sky above and blue ocean below
You are a pirate
You are a pirate
