Each mode of combat (e.g.: BF-like skirmish mode, Republic Commando-like special ops squad mode, tactical mode, etc.) could also be played sandbox style, either through a main menu or an ingame option; for multiplayer or single player.

The Adventures of

Comet the Super Fish!

Comet and the Belligerent Bivalve.

It is the first week of the salmon fly hatch. Thousands of salmon flies head for Blue Bay to ensure the survival of their species. And at the bottom of Blue Bay sits the underwater city of Icthopolis. Icthopolis depends upon the salmon fly hatch as part of the Icthopian diet. On an average day, Icthopolis is peaceful, yet bustling with aquatic life.

But today, something smells fishy in Icthopolis; and it’s not the inhabitants! The evil scientist Dr. Shellfish, a selfish oyster bent on ruling the world, has designed a terrible device to aide his takeover of Icthopia. Zoo keeper Fred Flounder is concerned about this threat. But before he can investigate, he must change into his alter ego. Faster than a speeding pike! Stronger than the jaws of a Great White Shark! Able to lift up to 500 times his weight: Comet, the Super Fish!

His identity concealed beneath his mask and cape, our hero makes a bee-line for Dr. Shellfish’s secret lab. He breaks down the door with his powerful tail and bursts into the room, blocking the main entrance. Dr. Shellfish swims towards the rear exit.

“Not so fast, Shellfish!” Comet shouts.

“You’re too late, Comet!” Shellfish snarls. “Nothing can stop me now! Once I activate my Algae Ray, the Bay will fill with algae. The Mayor will be forced to adhere to my commands! And then Icthopolis will be mine, MINE!! Mua-ha-ha-ha-ha!”

“You can’t do that!” demands Comet. “The massive amounts of algae will suffocate the city! I won’t let you do that!”

“…which is why I’ve called in my best mussels to deal with you!” Shellfish snaps his shell closed and opens it again. All around them, doors burst open and dozens of mussels burst into the room, surrounding our hero. Dr. Shellfish swims to the exit. “So long, Super Fish!” He locks the door behind him and gets to his Algae Ray’s transportation craft.

“I’ve got to stop him!” exclaims Comet in desperation.

“You heard the boss; you’re not goin’ anywhere!” says one of the mussels.

“We’ll see about that!” Comet retorts. The mussels start rushing towards him. He knocks two of them away with a swat of his tail. He smacks away another with his right fin. One mussel manages to clamp onto his left fin. Comet slams it against the wall of the lab, and the mussel releases its grip. Another clamps onto his tail. Comet swims up to the glass window in the ceiling, slamming the mussel against it. The window shatters, glass cascading into the lab, bouncing harmlessly off of Comet’s scales.

Free of the mussel, he soars through the empty window pane, using his super senses to follow Dr. Shellfish. He can see a trail of algae leading to Icthopolis. “Flipping flounders! I hope I’m not too late.” Suddenly, he feels something. “My Super Senses are tingling!” He turns around and sees a swarm of mussels chasing him. “They must have been following me; I’ll have to loose them!” As he turns back around, our hero sees an enormous octopus also heading for him. He sits still, watching both the octopus and the swarm of mussels race towards him. “Wait a minute, I have an idea!” He sits still, waiting for the right moment. Then, just as the octopus spreads his tentacles to devour our hero, he uses his Super Speed to dart out of the way of the impending collision. The swarm of mussels and the octopus meet head-on; both parties stunned.

Taking advantage of this, Comet grasps all eight tentacles and envelopes the unconscious mussels with the octopus. Using his Super-Strength, he spins the octopus around rapidly, the tentacles gathered in his mouth. Once he has the desired speed, he lets go, sending his assailants soaring off into the distance. “That was closer than a chitin on basalt!” he exclaims. He then resumes his desperate flight.

Meanwhile, in Icthopolis, Dr. Shellfish has begun to unleash his Algae Ray on the City. Algae begins to fill the water in thick clouds.

“Citizens of Icthopolis!” he shouts from the top of Sturgeon Tower, his voice amplified by his loofah microphone. “I, Dr. Shellfish, the greatest scientist in all the seven seas, am willing to spare you, but only if you cooperate with my demands! Submit to me, and I will show you mercy!”

“Stop right there, you bloated bivalve!” It’s Comet to the rescue! Dr. Shellfish is enraged.

“Comet? But how- what did you do to my mussels?”

“You all right, Doctor? You seem a little steamed there.” Comet taunts.

“Get him!” Shellfish yells. More of his mussels speed towards our hero. Comet aligns himself properly. Then, just as the first mussel is about to hit…

CRACK!

Comet smacks the mussel back at the Algae Ray. He does this over and over, until the machine is riddled with Shellfish’s henchmen. Suddenly, sparks skip across the surface of the machine. And then…

BOOM!

The Algae Ray explodes in a plume of hot bubbles.

“My Algae Ray!” exclaims Dr. Shellfish.

“Now its time for me to clean up your act!” Comet begins swimming rapidly in a circle, making a small whirlpool. The whirlpool sucks in the algae, clearing the waters of Icthopolis once more. Then the whirlpool catches Dr. Shellfish, who shrieks as he is pulled in:

“I’ll get you, Comet!” Ignoring the oyster’s protests, Comet then launches the massive ball of algae out of the water, nearly missing a picnic table on the beach.

Back in Icthopolis, the citizens rejoice, and Comet is awarded the Medal of Honor for defending the city.

The End

I really hate to see a grand community such as this go down so sadly. We need to do something. Threads like this have been made before but it’s not enough. Action is the course we need to take. I encourage you to all go out and post and double post and create new threads and make some changes. PFF still breathes but they are shallow breaths. Life needs to be given back. Initiative needs to be taken. We need change and we need it now! Go out and spread the message. Tell your friends, both online and off. Get people interested again. We can do it. 58953 posts and 3991 threads shouldn't go to waste. Let’s get back on track. PFF was my home for nearly two years. These people are like family even through we've never met face to face. I will take lead of the new PFF. Devotion and motivation will be needed. But together we can do it. PM the admins tell them your suggestions. Post them here. Make threads about them. Do what you can, even if it’s just one post a day or two. Now....WHOS WITH ME?

PFF! WE CAN DO IT!

An image I shop'd for a friend's B-Day card (his face and name have been censored to conceal his identity).

As you can guess, he's a Star Trek/Stargate fan.

The caption was inspired by Teal'c Dialogue from a Stargate episode:

Teal'c: "On Chulak, it is customary to honor the day of birth of a friend with song.

...

Fortunately, we are not on Chulak."

Coincidentally, all of the characters (except teal'c) weren't smiling in the original pictures. I used the smudge tool at 100 percent to lift the corners of their mouths. They turned out good except O'neill, who looks like he's muttering something to picard. Which actually worked, since it could be said that picard finds what O'neill is muttering slightly humorous.

I had to reconstruct part of each character because their aren't any good pics of them in the correct pose. They turned out ok, except Daniel Jackson, whose left shoulder turned out weird.

- Opening sequence: apparently, 10 year olds either can't read or have attention spans too short to watch a 1.5 minute long text crawl.

- Zero the Hutt: A hutt who's a drag queen. Perhaps the only time a sw movie has made reference to the hermaphroditic nature of the hutt species. Also, the first time a hutt speaks basic.

- Futurama reference?: This was done before with HK adopting Bender's use of the term meatbag. Now Zero has a droid that is essentially a mute version of "Clamps" of the Robot Mafia.

- Music: The least sw sounding music I've ever heard.

- Obi-wan: some really good voice acting here.

- Dooku: still christopher lee, but with an easter island head.

- battle droids: behaved much like they did in RotS, though executed much more successfully.

- SBDs: voices reminiscent of SW:GB and Republic Commando rather than RotS (thankfully).

Windu: his appearance is cameo at best. about three lines. "something important blah blah blah something important. I'll take my paycheck now, please".

Threepio: Small role, yet is one of the most humorous in the entire film.

Fleet Admiral: voiced by the voice of Madine in the Rogue Squadron series. don't think he is madine, though.

Ahsoka: Uses nicknames to the point of utter gratuitousness (Stinky for rotta was ok, but Sky-guy? Artooey? )

Force powers: rarely ever used at all. there were plenty of instances where these would have worked nicely.

Has the pace of a children's action cartoon show (think samurai jack).

sneak peak at the TV series will air saturday, august 31st, 10 am (during Ben 10: Alien Force season finale).

Yes I did take the second picture on my bike as I did with a few not shown here.

Warning: Link contains videos shocking enough to make you mentally insane, extreme graphical scenes containing shocking animal abuse. You have been warned. If you throw up on your computer and start yelling in your house don't blame me I warned you, stick to the thread.

(Don't click unless your a peaceful farmer or someone mentally strong.)

http://www.peta.org/feat/ChineseFurFarms/index.asp

Safe for normal readers below:

Seeing that just make me shocked and annoyed. Apparently the Chinese (and whoever else in the world) breed animals and treat them worse then cows on slaughtering day. The farmers grab the animal and smack them on the ground as if they were dead (which they aren't) and then hanging them up on hooks cutting off their skin while they're ALIVE. Any normal European, European Settler on North America, or the Japanese would kill the animal first before helping themselves to it. Heck even other animals kill the animal to shut them up and stop moving.

So in short the animals are breed, picked up and hit on the ground like a rug when alive, beaten with a stick on the head (like seal clubbing), hit on the ground again, hung on something while being cut with a knife while alive, beaten, kicked, laughed at while being beaten, and etc.

Who the heck even wears fur? I only see rich people wearing it during parties, anime characters for plot device, and maybe in fashion shows. Thats the only time I see them on someone. I seen Europeans and Canadians kill an animal first to make fur coats to survive the harsh winter, but only the traditional people.

post its name and a pic (if available), or more if you like.

Mine as an example:

After coming up with what they're doing I feel like adding more mobile suits to tell a mini story. If only I had base parts I could actually attempt to do so. Also since the Red Comet (being that red figure) was posed next to the Gogg (being the big brown aquatic mobile suit), the waves caused by the boat knocked it into the water. I almost lost the Red Zaku because I got careless.

I uploaded it on deviantart so you can get the full detail of the image unlike that of photobucket.com.

And heres Saber from Fate/Stay Night that I took outdoors being the best image I took.

Sylphs are cloud entities that eat up chemtrails and keep our air clean. Whenever USAF and UN planes fly over your area you get those trails that stick for hours or even days and thats harmful for you. To combat this you need a device called a "Cloudbuster" or a "Orgone Generator". A cloud Buster is a simple road based device that attracts negative energy and brings out positive energy to the area. It helps improve the weather and gets rid of these chemtrails you see in the air. Then we got Orgone Generators which help make your area more stable making people and everything more positive.

If your a skeptic and want a sake of argument I recommend you try the below and put it in your backyard. Wait a week to a month (or maybe even a day or few hours) to see the weather improve and smog clear out. Before saying this is impossible at least try it out then prove me wrong. I read people's comments saying how much fun they had pissing off the USAF and UN chemtrail sprayers.  

I'm not safe also so I'll try this out:

http://www.metatech.org/Images/chemtrail_satellite_photo.jpg

Whats best for the Enviroment

Well I haven't tried it but I read stories and personal comments saying at how much this device below works. It pulls negative energy in releasing positive energy back out into the surrounding area. Also I read comments that if pointed at a low tech UFO you will scare it and be repayed with a broken part or damaged something of your property.

 

http://www.metatech.org/cloudbuster_&_..._generator.html

 

One such comment says when he put up this device it cleared his area of any harmful chemtrail effects and even had helicopters, planes and such going back more then needed only proving those who used this simple device to say how it works. Chemtrails disappear swiftly as if it was never sprayed in our air helping the Sylphs (Cloud entities from our earth, Jupitor, and Saturn). Its a simple device and may cost you only up to $100-200 the most. If you get sprayed by these chemtrails they will disappear only to have planes and helicopters fly lower and spray more only to have them waste their efforts. Well now I can clear my neighborhood of smog and messed up weather (since its supposed to).

Well don't believe me? You don't have to but you can at least give it a go by at least trying it out. Maybe research it seeing who else has it hearing their stories while using such devices. However if you do such things be careful at how you use it since I hear some minor problems which can be overcome (i.e Headaches or energy sucking out). I recommend people try out the rods grounded to the ground to be on the safe side and learning as much as you can about this. At this point I'm still seeing what people say about this.

 

In brief:

The first link shows a device that improves weather in your area, gets rid of chemtrails and smog. Anything else I have yet to find out but it sure as heck helps the Sylphs get rid of other Chemtrails around America and the globe.

Coming out on Friday.

"Five young New Yorkers throw their friend a going-away party the night that a monster the size of a skyscraper descends upon the city. Told from the point of view of their video camera, the film is a document of their attempt to survive the most surreal, horrifying event of their lives."

Personally, I can't wait for it to come out. As it looks like its gonna be an awesome movie and I'm trying to breath new life into PFF, i thought I'd make a 'fan thread' about it. Go ahead and post your thoughts. From the trailer to the viral merketing.

I watched it and its based on a true story. Normally when a movie is based on true story we get half truths. I think that the story that isn't true is the visuals or you miss other important parts but whatever. I think someone here wants to keep the "goody goody" image for the Police, CIA, FBI and its drug prevention section.

What was also stated in the movie was that drugs are circulated to the public, the police arrest the drug users then send the drugs back out. People sure are bored even in "busy" jobs. Just goes to show how boring the world could be or how much people think on the job and how much freedom they got.

Well here's my opinon. Lets assume for arguments sake that a fleet of three ISD's come out of hyperspace above earth. It is the present day mind you. Imagine Independence Day if you will ( the movie not the event! ...idiots... ) Our country is on high alert but wish to make peace with the 'visitors'. The Imperial is here to survey the planet and dertermine it's importance to the Empire. Imperial officers order force to be used if there is any resistance. As they proceed to land and survey the planet, protests and riots begin.

"Kill the invaders!" is the general outcry. The UN and other militray leader's tell the Empire to leave or they can expect war. The Empire views us as backwards apes but out of respect ( we are human after all ) they give us a chance to take back our bold request. No go. The war begins. The Empire looks for a quick but brutal solution. To my knowledge, ISd's have no point defense systems so they would be succeptable to missile strikes and nuclear warhead attacks. So we launch a few ICBM's and the ISD's are destoryed. Or would they be? Imperial gunners are well trained. With the lighter anti-fighter guns could they shoot down the missiles? Probably not. We have alot, like over 2700 alot. So what do the ISd's have left. A little thing called shielding. There are two distinct types of deflector shields: ray shields, also known as energy shields, and particle shields. The first type protects against energy-based attacks, such as blaster or laser cannon fire, while the latter was developed in response to physical attacks, ranging from projectile missiles and incoming vehicles to asteroids and meteors. Commonly, larger ships and structures were protected by both types of shield, though starfighters often only projected ray shields. So what does an ISD have? A ISD-72x shield generator dome protects the Imperial Star Destroyer, no matter what the class.  They project both ray and particle shields. So technically an ISD could destroy the incoming missile with its particale shields. But could it prevent 2700? Who knows? On land I belive we could have a decent chance but I think slug throwers wouldn't penetrate Stormtrooper armor, unless it's a sniper rifle or a bolt action rifle of some kind, presumably. I have no experience with weapons outside of videogames.  AT-ST's could be taken down with Javelin anti-tank rockets but AT-AT's probably would be close to unstoppable unless the other Imperial vehicles and troopers around it are destroyed, we could proabably screw with it and plant some C4 or something. Well thats about it. Hey tell me what YOU think.

so my rants purpose; i didnt know this community could shrink and further than what it was at when i ended aosw...and i cant wait for the kotor mmo
