    Hrm, Ohio State is reporting that they've managed to create a process that allows them to produce much stronger steel that allows it to be drawn about 30% more then current steel without loss of ductility. Which means you can get steel that is comparable to some titanium alloys currently in use but at dramatically lower prices. Which means really cool things for a lot of people. But the application for car frames should be amazing. Shaving 30% of weight off of the car frame will be a significant boost to fuel efficiency for IC engines and increased range for electric cars.

    Oh my. I'm on season 5 of X-Men and somewhere along the line after sending Xavier to another place, they reboot the entire series. Removed Jubilee and Rogue and have Dazzler and Nightcrawler and Colossus. Juggernaut keeps calling Xavier "Dear step-brotheerrrr" (sounds like Randy "Macho Man" Savage) and Wolverine is Australian.

    What the fuck. It suddenly went so wrong.

    I believe I'm in 5. Xavier went off to another world (he was dying). The next episode after that was a reboot.

    A very bad reboot.

    Okay, I apparently have been watching them out of order (dude didn't label the discs when he made them). But there was still a season 5.

    Rogue and Jubilee looked super different. Apparently Season 5 ended at episode 14?

    EDIT: Yeah there were 5 seasons and then the new pilot X-Men Pryde of X-Men (which was thankfully not picked up) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-Men_%28TV_series%29

    It sounds like you were watching Pryde of the X-Men, Mim.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAKEImjGzu8

    It's a failed pilot that precedes the '90s cartoon. Clips of it were used in the X-Men arcade game.

    as much willpower as you can get. it directly raises the power of his spells.

    Willpower = more mana
    Magic = spells do more damage.

    This is direct from the tooltip in Origins - Deluxe Edition. If you need screenshots, I can provide those.

    I just discovered that the back to the future blu-ray trilogy is $15 at target this week.

    Long story short I may not be allowed back into a target after the things I do upon picking this up... even though the packaging of the box set is total garbage.

    Okay, Elki, it looks like you just want to ignore Strength and Dex, get to maybe 20 in Willpower, 16 in Cunning (which will unlock all the persuasion talents), and 20 in Constitution. Everything else goes into Magic.

    Arrgh. If nobody wants to pay the guy 51% to use this stuff, he should still be able to get venture capital to mass-produce it if he's not a complete goob.
