This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

The Clocktower survived, technically.

Alright , this is about as "Geeky" as it gets.

There was fire at the Universal Studios Backlot recentlyt. Many News outlets said that the Clocktower set from BACK TO THE FUTURE burned down - thats not true.

That facade has been seen the past year or two on the CBS show "Ghost Whisperer" - it was just modified with the triangular clock part taken off of the facade on the front wall of the courthouse, and part of that was decorated and colored differently. This was the same outside "town square" set that was used in "Dukes of Hazzard" in the early 80s and even for some shots in the movie musical THE MUSIC MAN.

Take a look at the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hD8Pq3TLt6U

For those of you , like me, that are good at spotting re-used locations and sets this might be interesting.

koltar is that a mullet hairstyle I see you sporting on your latest avatar, or am I having a really bad hallucination?

So atheists have been abused, treated badly by clergy or they\'re stupid.They\'re just being trendy because they can\'t understand The God Delusion because they don\'t have the education, plus they\'re just pretending to be atheists anyway. Pundit you\'re the one with a problem, terminal stupidity.

Koltar, you and your GURPS lovin' ass have more relevance and reality to me than some film studio set.
I thought you'd gone all "Babylon 5" with the mullet hairstyle. Your present avatar looks far more distinguished.
