Bay 12 Games Forum

He's talking about Kerbal Space Program, which is an indy game that allows you to build a generally accurate sim of how to get to space.  It's available off of Steam (I think) and there's a thread in Other Games if you're interested.  Haven't played it myself, so my knowledge is limited.

I just saw I've been here a little over a year now.  In honor of this completely arbitrary and pointless date, have a clip from Mystery Science Theater 3000:

Best of Hobgoblins.

I would've just linked the rake fight scene with commentary, but it wasn't available.

What about Edmonton, Calgary, and Winnipeg?

Captain Keyes is Nihlus.

Bonus points for remembering who the hell Nihlus is.

I don't think the universe could handle Master Chief and Shepard working together.  It would simply explode.

This actually ties into my theory that Tali'zorah is the female version of Master Chief.

It also explains the Thorian. Its a gravemind.

It's actually a giant plant given psionic powers by the Etherals.

Would this make Garrus the alien version of Sgt Jackson, or whatever his name was?

Johnson, and yes. They both used sniper rifles and assault rifles, after all.

So who would Wrex be...?

The Arbiter.

Nah, the Arbiter is Captain Anderson.  They share the same voice actor, after all.

I don't think the universe could handle Master Chief and Shepard working together.  It would simply explode.

Is there any state with a legal difference between Major and Minor parties?

Minnesota has one.  Major parties are allowed into debates and have automatic access to statewide elections (governor, attorney general, et al); while Minor parties, although getting official recognition, receive none of those bonuses.

To become a Major Party a candidate has to breach the 5% vote threshold in at least one statewide elected race.  Currently there are three: The obvious two and the Independence Party which tries to thread the needle between the parties, getting 11% in the last governor's race.

To be recognized as a Minor Party, the candidate has to breach 2% in at least one statewide elected race.  The Greens and the Grassroots (single-issue legalize marijuana party) are the two that are in.

All others are simply other parties and have no special recognition.

I have no idea how other state's do it, but IIRC New York has a weird nomination system where candidates can receive nominations from different parties.  So, say a candidate can run on the Democratic and Working Families line and that would be legal.
