[Elephant Parade]

I like SCP-610, myself.

I know it's a done to death idea, but I think the writer of this pulled it off very well.

That image. I only saw it for a second, at yet it will haunt me.

Don't click that link.

[Mech#4]

I remember this one that was... it was a stone disc or something that fitted into a machine to make portals to another reality. Most of the article was contained in experiment logs involving sending people through and filming what they saw. That was interesting, though a lot of the articles I've read aren't so much scary as bizarre metaphysical do-hickies.

[Descan]

That sounds like 093.

[Mech#4]

Yeah, that seems right. So many numbers, I can't remember them all.

Hm, what else. Anomalous Ducks, that's funny, especially in the game with the one that plays the saxophone.

[Frumple]

I'm thinking that Phyrexia Vs Mirrodin would probably be the GOTO for wouldbe film directors that get subcontracted to do the movie. I mean, the whole plot of that arc is very splashable to movie posters, it's a decent bit of lore by itself, and non-MTG fans will understand it as a kind of zombie apocalypse movie and I don't think any AAA movie maker will ever pass up the opportunity to try to wring more blood from that stone.

I'd probably dig just about anything involving Phyrexia, too. Steampunk/clockwork dimension-hopping borg with a side of body horror, sure, let's rock this junk. They're pretty neat. At least that's how I'm remembering the buggers, anyway.

My suitemate has gotten even more unnerving this semester, and we've not even been back two weeks. You may recall my regaling the board with the tale of him and his voodoo doll. The night I got back (he was gracious enough to pick me up at the airport, for which I am grateful), we went to dinner with him and his mother, who is controlling enough that he is never in the dorms on the weekends (he goes home). He ordered a steak; she insisted it be well-done. (Dude's nineteen). It was also revealed that he has a long-distance girlfriend who lives on a farm in the boonies, although upon further prodding, we discovered that she's actually a girl that he has told he's going to ask her to be his girlfriend. It's all very fourteen-ish. Despite his entry into this chaste and holy relationship (he is very Baptist, despite my best attempts to turn him into an agnostic crypto-Catholic like myself), he decided to memorize- and occasionally recites to himself- the blurb about consent that we got on the little "do not disturb" doorknob hangers that they handed out at the beginning of the semester. It's not entirely clear why he does this, since he is way too straightlaced to bring girls over, and hopefully too straightlaced to bring them over by force. Finally- at least for now- you may remember how he took a selfie with one of the black guys on the hall last semester to prove he is Not A Racist. To further this aura of equality and acceptance, yesterday he proudly informed us that he celebrated Martin Luther King, Jr. Day by going to the fried chicken place on campus for lunch.

Dude's a piece of work.

They're only physically borg-like. They lack a hive mind, and have internal strife. Slivers are mental borg

I want to make a "X: Not even once" crack here, but there are too many targets for me to decide. :x

[Xantalos]

Gandalf: not even once.
Don't ask how it's applicable it just is.

[Frumple]

Yeah, you don't even want to know what kind of STIs a Maiar picks up after a few hundred years. It's amazing everything in a five mile radius of Gandalf doesn't spontaneously contract the orcish clap.

... of course, that's assuming they don't...

[10ebbor10]

OK, fine, I understand that you don't want Google Glass in movie theaters. But why would Homeland Security need to get involved with this.

Really, I thought Hollywood using anti terrorism agencies as copyright enforcement was something invented by the Simpsons.

How else do you think he killed Durin's Bane?

What a Maiar picks up is entirely irrelevant to this discussion; Gandalf is one of the Istalri!

[Xantalos]

An Istari is a Maiar though, just one of the lesser ones.

Touché.
I badly need to reread LoTR and the Silmarillion. A year is long enough to forget!
