Over the last week or so, I've been tinkering with the idea of doing a collaborative city building project, based around player created stories and world building. The city itself is a large megalopolis, inhabited by about 13 million people from thousands of different species, races, religions...

This is the preview thread for my upcoming NES, BombNES IV: A New Hope. Overview: The overall idea of this NES was to create an interesting situation. To me, this meant getting rid of a few of the most common tropes that we see in NESes while still remaining familiar enough in our...

In the past, we used to be pretty good at keeping track of just how many people were active on the subforum. After thinking about it and running a search, I came to the realization that we haven't had a census of our players in over a year. So here we are. If you consider yourself an NESer (you...

So about a week ago, I decided to sit down and make a map of the Island from the television show Lost, mostly out of boredom. After playing around a bit and some thinking, I began to realize that this wasn't enough for me. Further thinking allowed me to come to the conclusion that a mod was...

Nothing too impressive here. I just decided to make this out of boredom. It probably would have been a bit more popular a couple of years ago. Whatever. Here it is anyways. Enjoy! One of the maps I used as a reference: From: http://lostmap.blogspot.com/

When it comes to writing updates and stories, many NESers suffer from not knowing what to do, where to go next, or simply having the confidence to fully trust in their own writing abilities. In this thread, you can request to have a neutral third party read a rough draft of your update or story...

The article itself is about a month old but still relevant. Basically it outlines U.S. foreign relations with Pakistan within the last year by going over several events that have contributed to the damaged relationship between the countries. Here is basically an abridged version of the article...

Most of us have friends, but does anyone know someone that they would call a personal enemy? If you don't, is it because you think having enemies is simply stupid or wrong? If you do have an enemy is it by choice? Is an enemy simply someone you strongly dislike or for someone to be an enemy...

BombNES IV: As the Crow Flies In 1610 Duke Ernest II of Brunswick-Lüneburg fell ill with a fever. Knowing he was nearing the end of his life and would soon loose the ability to govern his lands, the Duke agreed to wishes of his top advisor, Friedrich Von Witmondt, by granting him...

How do you feel about this? Are the psychological barriers too much to handle? Would you eat human feces if it were guaranteed safe and nutritious? Could this actually take off? Is there people who would have moral or religious opposition to this? The way I see it, even if they are calling it...

I haven't seen a thread like this before, so I thought I would open one for the discussion of movie and television posters and promotional shots. Album covers and promo shots for bands are probably worth posting too, if you so desire. I spoiler tagged everything because they are mostly large...

I realize we've had this thread before, but it's been a few years and I just had one of those chalky little candy hearts and it spurred me to make this thread. Does anyone actually like those things? I've never met anyone who does. :dunno: What other foods or tastes do you hate the most? I...

I am most excited for Tom Hardy as Bane. I loved him in Inception (he played Eames, the impersonator). While I am not disappointed with the casting of Anne Hathaway, she still isn't what I imagined for the role of Catwoman. Since she has only been cast as "Selina Kyle" at this point she may...

I thought this was a pretty crazy story... This is taken from: http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2010/10/why-is-this-gop-house-candidate-dressed-as-a-nazi/64319/ I actually feel kind of bad for the guy, as I don't think this means he sympathizes with the Nazis. If you think about...

First off, before we get into a discussion on this, my question is not should the European Union replace Britain and France on the Security Council. If this topic relevant to your point, feel free to consider it, but I've seen countless discussions on this and they never seem lead anywhere...

I would say that the vast majority of us are most interested in history, politics and current events. This is definitely true for me, but what other hobbies and interests do you have? Do your other interests tie into your main interests? For example, if you are very into cars do you care more...

Surprised we haven't had a thread on this yet today... So some talking points... -Is it wrong for the U.S. to demand extradition when it creates such discontent in Jamaica? -If this Mr Coke is really such a benefactor to the Jamaican public, what will happen in his absence? Is it wrong for...

There are two kinds of people in the world: Beatles people and Elvis people. Beatles people can like Elvis, and Elvis people can like the Beatles. But neither types of people could like them the same. You can't say either or neither. People always like one better than the other and there comes a...

Since it's rare we get an architecture thread on here and I'm fairly interested in the topic I thought I'd post this. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/arts_and_culture/8597069.stm Personally I really dislike it. I really hate these over industrial looking things and London already...

How likely do you think a WMD attack on the USA by a terrorist group actually is? What do you think American reaction, both domestically and foreign, would be? Despite the fact they deny it in the article, do you think this is fear-mongering to an extent? I haven't quite made up my mind on that...
