I give my best wishes to the MASTER Cheif. May he recover from his fall of stairs and kick butt once more.

And on the topic of camel spiders...

*fires an ICBM at Reed. However, instead of blowing up, it crashes and breaks open, releasing a massive swarm of angry mud daubers, each carrying a spiderling and all flying at Reed's face.*

....Thanks Vlad....now that's going to haunt me in my nightmares.

[Vlad Yvhv]

You're welcome. *tosses Red a can of Raid*

[RedAuthar]

*Sprays like crazy*

[Vlad Yvhv]

Not a good tactic, Red. One really needs to aim those cans of wasp killer. And they only last a couple of minutes. So, spraying all willy-nilly will just run you out of insecticide. The point is to either shoot the hive, or shoot the wasps out of the air, or nail them when they land on something.

[RedAuthar]

I'm also an arachnophobic....I ain't going within like ten feet of those things.

[Vlad Yvhv]

Wasps are insects, not arachnids. They tend to eat spiders, or trap them in their hives and lay eggs in them.

[RedAuthar]

The Spiderlings dude...

Stops spraying.

I think what happened to chief's shoulder is like what happened to my leg a couple years ago. I was dancing in my room, and I somehow twisted my leg and fucked it up and I fell over and couldn't get up for a few minutes. Later that evening I felt OK and even went for a walk, albeit with a limp. The next day it was hurting again. Ugh. Still, I recovered completely before too long without problems.

[RedAuthar]

The body is it's own worse enemy.

[chief]

For kef his worst enemy is his dancing.

I have no idea what you're referring to.

Everyone talking about Chief's accident kept using the specific phrase "No Good", which struck me as peculiar. But, like I said, my brain has a weird way of drawing connections, so... ;

Welcome to the club, Gojira.

*gives him an oar*
That's for whenever somebody tells ya "I'm in the same boat"...

*gives him a pencil*
That's for the next time your brain wants to draw a connection

Fuck Hunger Games. Battle Royale came first and did it better.

[Gojira007]

I'm really struggling to understand why so many people insist on treating "Hunger Games" as a mere "Battle Royale" rip-off. Yes, they share a premise, but the specific ways in which that premise is used and the ends to which it's being used to meet seem pretty damned different when looked at side to side. I've yet to see HG or read the original novels, but unless I've REALLY misunderstood the information I do have, it seems a somewhat unfair comparison, something akin to calling "Star Wars" a "Flash Gordon" rip-off because they both happen to be Space Operas about trying to overthrow a Galactic Empire; the similarity exists, but the details that fill it out and the ways in which those ideas are used are pretty distinct from each other.

I'm sorry, but other people have already called The Hunger Games a rip-off of Battle Royale, and did a much better job of it than you.
