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.

I've seen them twice and my mind is still too full of possibilities to get anything out there. You could base an easy, instant half-dozen campaigns around each one, which is a good measure of awesome.
The main problem with government is the difficulty of pressing charges against its directors.

Given a choice of two out of three M&Ms, the human brain subconsciously tries to justify the two M&Ms chosen as being superior to the M&M not chosen.

Sorry, I forgot the 3DMark application isn't all that widely known. :) I also posted that late and night and I'm still on too little sleep.

Anyway, 3DMark and PCMark are computer testing applications...And you're probably not interested in more than that. 3DMark tests your graphics, during which it plays four animations.

The first is a sci-fi boarding action; the second is a forest/fantasy scene; the third is a canyon run with an airship; the fourth is a horror scene with a deserted base. Each is beautifully rendered and done, with the impression that there's a larger story to them.

And I hope I didn't sound like an advertisement. :)

I always thought the same thing.  The canyon airship one struck me as particularly interesting for an RPG idea.
