Samus VS Master Chief All the Spartans, because quite frankly Samus is so powerful she needs a spehss handbag to store the skulls of the enemies she's personally decapitated. Without even raising a finger.

... y'all haven't seen th'CG animation of that? Because there was one, a while back. Checking up on it, fellow named Monty Oum did it.

Personally, I like the end results, but I don't know if it jives with Halo canon anymore. Has any of the latest stuff shown what's under the helmet?

Ah. Condolences, then.

And, uh. Thanks for the weather update. Takes a bit off the mind, lets me sleep easier.

Quick googling is suggesting something called Crowded Cities. Speaking of that, what's your mod list? My last attempt at oblivion modding ended up with me being massively frustrated and giving up and playing Nehrim more

E: Which is actually mostly a happy 'cause Nehrim's awesome.

Courtship of Princess Leia was the... second star wars book I read, I think. After Truce at Bakura. Which I probably got a hold of during one of the initial print runs.

I'll give Han this much. As marriage proposal gift thingies go, dude doesn't aim small. But yeah, I was kinda' there for the initial EU publications.

I'll take it, if yeh don't mind handing it to the critter that claimed Titan's Quest earlier.

Yeah, gets annoying. Even given a more fluid force use, that... basically matches them up with psyker fluidity (at least unless the psyker's limited to a particular capability set, anyway), except the psyker can also open up rifts in reality and let spew forth psychic doom predators. Plus the whole even-good-guy-psykers-set-off-tiny-warp-storms-in-peoples-brains-for-fun thing.

Wait, wait. Given that, when a force weapon meets a lightsaber, what happens?

Ehhh, that's debatable, really. Orkz have by and large already won a long time ago in canon. The WH40k universe is basically their nirvana. When they say something along the lines that they're not losing (losing would be not fighting, not dying or having to retreat. Dying just means getting into another fight with Gork and Mork and retreating means you get to fight more later ), they're just getting blown up so the next fight will be better, they're right. So long as conflict is possible, they've succeeded in their operational goals. You can win a fight against an Ork, but Orkz don't lose, heh. Even if you kill them.

But yeah, they can't really just magic nova cannons out the aether, and they're limited by their imagination (which is itself limited by the size of the waaaagh they get together, really, to provide the psychic juice to actually make it happen.). But a mekboy can do stuff with a pile of scape or a broken spaceship that's literally physically impossible, and given that space hulks are basically limited only by plot (because, as noted, there's no bloody telling what's stuck in that thing. Maybe there's a warp spawned copy of the Executor itself in all that junk, who knows *throws up hands*), I wouldn't wager against them pulling a doom MacGuffin of some sort out of one of the hulk's crannies. Sure, it might blow up half the hulk in the process, but Ork equipment is, well, more effective than it has any right to be (and given how terrible some of it is in practice, that's really darn telling, heh.).

'Course, as noted, they'd probably just hurl a bunch of chunks of it stuffed full of orkz at the enemy ships instead. Prepare for boarding action, ahahahaha!

So I'd say it depends on the space hulk, y'know? Some of those things take WH40k fleets to stop, from what I remember. Executor's a whole lot of kickass, but it's not quite on that scale, I don't believe. Galactica's a whole lot of buggered, though. I'm not even sure if it could meaningfully contribute, outside of maybe getting rammed into the Executor after the Ork boarding parties took over.
