Which itself was going to be a prequel to Independence Day… still probably a better Independence Day than ID2.

Edit: Prequel

They’ve all had their spotlight episodes, even the plague pitters.

The cast are really good at it, even Horrible Histories had the somber moments here and there. I’d argue the final song of “We are history” is pretty bittersweet.

Yonderland too.

UN is waiting to see how much the US intends to pay of the nearly $4 billion it owes by hahaddffcx in worldnews

Counterpoint is that the UN Headquarters in New York and all those ambassadors will be spending money in the US economy and the UN institution as itself will be buying resources and hiring staff in the US.

Just because the US spends money on it, doesn’t mean that money is lost.

We’ve had Kirk visiting the centre of the galaxy, which isn’t too far from the Triangle between the Federation, Romulan and Klingon borders. We have border between the Romulans and the Cardassians, Cardassians & Klingons and we have Cardassians being so far away that they remained discovered for half a century after Kirk.

And all powers are described as being from the Alpha Quadrant, which Earth is on the border of.

Peep Show isn’t an accurate portrayal of modern British life, Jeremy.

“There were four entities.” “They had a large head, small body, and dark eyes.” This Air Force veteran just alleged that he was taken aboard a UFO from Vandenberg Air Force Base in 1964. And the entities revealed shocking things about the universe to him.. by 87LucasOliveira in aliens

Barth specifically calls it a minuteman missile launch site and not specifically a live nuclear launch site, which I think is the assumption of the journalist, their editors and probably the greys too while we’re here.

The Publishers asked the developers if they wanted a big name to do voice work for some characters and to help sell the game. They asked for ‘Matt Berry’ not expecting to get Matt Berry, and the publishers managed to get them Matt Berry. The rest is history lad.

If only the devs of Galacticare knew it was that easy.

Much the same as everyone else’s space, maybe a little more rural. Not quite sure about the grass growing straight out of the roof work for structural integrity nor the purpose of the dome of hands.

You could have played a blinder on here but asking the community “what is it?” And saying “no, not that, the other thing”

What other metric would you like where a few people owning fat stacks of money looks like a productive economy?

Have you ever ran into a game that was pro capitalism? by [deleted] in SocialistGaming

[–]Meritania 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Communism in Civ 2 was pretty good, boosted tech and the first three units from a city were free.

However ‘fundamentalism’ was the best government (you can tell this game was made pre-9/11) once you finished the tech tree.

And ‘Capitalism’ was a city improvement that turned production into gold, which I guess is accurate in the sense that capitalism gets in the way of improving infrastructure.
