Re: OT: Why are TV studios so stupid?

Well, considering the number of shows that are canceled every season, I'd say they don't like ANY TV genre. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Several posters have leaped to the defense of the Firefly series, claiming I've "missed the point" of the show. Unfortunately these people seem to have missed my point: yes, I didn't "get" the...

Re: A new Game story (From the begining)

The story has taken an interesting twist. The "pirates" remind me of the Reavers in the Firefly TV series.
