I still think the bowel disruptor from Transmetropolitan is better.
Fire Emblem Birthright arrived the other day, now it's waiting for me to finish Awakenings so I can get to it.
You can't create wormholes with electromagnetism. The electromagnetic force doesn't effect the curvature and geometry of space, only the gravitational force does.
Yes, I'm aware that in some...
Just finished The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
Now starting on Fire Emblem: Awakening
Ok, this changes things. I was not aware:

Israel is estimate to have between 80 to 400 warheads, mostly in the 50 to 100 kiloton...
Not really true. Well, mostly not true. The DoD and Pentagon really love their force multipliers these days, but they're mostly selling us vapor: The United States basically always has the...
Okay, analyzed that way, it does make sense. Although I still don't see anyone *forcing* Japan to do anything, that just doesn't happen between First World nations anymore, but instead applying...
Nobody can really answer this question, since we don't know what a being smarter than the smartest human would look like.
For that matter, the idea of "super intelligence" is a pretty...
I see that we have at least one North Korean forum member. Did the Great Leader tell you that while astride his diamond-skinned unicorn?
I take it that's supposed to be all humourous nonsense?
South Korea's army is one of the most well trained and equipped in the entire world, as is their SF. Japan's is... decent. Japan has...
I don't really see that happening. Japan these days is another great power, economically, just like France, Germany, or the US, and thanks to us, they're pretty fierce militarily. We care alot...
No, they really don't. Jadis the White Witch was an ancient sorceress from another world, from a race of human-like creatures that were powerful and very long-lived. She was the strongest of...
I imagined you saying that in Jar Jar's voice.
Haven't watched it. Was just told about it by co-workers. I was going by my knowledge of the JDSF in real life, not the series, although I presume they're not that different.
Again, no difference. I can think of at least three magic systems in various fictional settings that is all of these things as well. Snip the rest of your post, because it contained no useful...
That's exactly how "magic" works in a ton of different settings. You just will it to happen and it happens.
Again, distinction without a difference.
or do you??

It pretty much does. Both comics/sci-fi wise, and also in terms of folklore: Curses and blessings (which make you unlucky or lucky) in folklore/superstition are probably the oldest form of magic...
Not really. You're delineating an artificial different where there is none.
If the power basically means "can do the impossible", it's essentially the same thing as saying "can do anything". ...
This, basically. Essentially a placeholder name for "whatever my character needs to be able to do for the story to continue". Any kind of meta-power like this which includes other powers within...
More like 1000 yards, during the real long distance engagements. But most urban combat, even between snipers, is at 500 yards or less.
"Mustafa", the insurgent sniper in the movie, mainly used...
They probably tried to do exactly that in a bunch of deleted takes, but Gina's terrible, terrible, aweful, fantastically bad acting likely got in the way.
There's a reason she has almost no...
Anyone getting either of the new Fire Emblems?
Well, yes and no. Simo was undoubtedly an exceptional marksman.
However, during the Winter War of 1940, the soviet army was in chaos. Stalin had just completed another purge, this one...
