Re: District 9
I don't think the aliens of D9 are Mobile Infantry. 
So what class would you peg these at, Books? Sturner's stuck in Heinlandia.

These Sentinels will supplement your combat system. But, I suggest you upgrade to at least a Class Twelve combat skin. Your current model only scans as a Class Two, which is ill suited for this kind of work.

Compliments will get you... a good game. And you have no idea. 
//FLEETWIDE MEMORANDUM 1/5
Non-combat personnel are required to wear [combat skin] with a minimum rating of at least [class] 12 in non-restricted areas, once the fleet is underway. [Class 14] or lesser Combat Skin is acceptable in core areas. Combat personnel will only be permitted to wear [combat skin] rated below [class 8] in core areas, once operations begin.
//FLEETWIDE MEMORANDUM 2/5
All combat personnel have been issued combat skin rated at [class 4~1] or [class 6~1 battle harness] depending on military operational specialty.
All weapon platform specialists are expected to wear their issue [platform interface skin] at all times to ensure peak [mind-machine synchronization].
All [equipment lockers] will remain sealed until post briefing gear distribution commences.
//FLEETWIDE MEMORANDUM 3/5
Those individuals that have yet to register their equipment [control key code] with Fleet Command should do so at their earliest opportunity. Compliance is not optional; noncompliance will result in {~}

In the old days I could link you to that, but Claude started blocking years ago. There's a trick or two, but it's easy enough to just get into the HBO domain, then use it.

"Geek" doesn't seem adequate. Y'all would be in danger of getting picked on at a Trek convention. Tolkein fanatics would ostracize you. Furries get more booty.

Re: District 9
Um... no. Everyone has hobbies, and going there just opens up a whole can of hurt, aka whupass...
"Momski- email notices from my M|F threads aren't working! I'm up to an hour late writing my witty replies and new threads about fat guys... they're rushed, I have to break into my comic-reading, mag-scanning, and video-making time, and I still don't get the respect and admiration I otherwise would. Worse, I'm sometimes late to a focus group and my Google checks are reduced- and those meanies in Gaming won't even help me fake my way thru another one! It's like they want me to get a job or something!
"Which reminds me- you still need your TV, right, and... what'd you think of that- er, girl- yeah, the fuzzy- I brought here last month? She ok by you? I think she's really hot... I mean, being inside all that fur. And you should see her collection of bunny pr0n, mags and everything.
"Or... hmm... maybe not."
...meant, of course, in the nicest possible way.

Am currently 58 minutes into District 9. If every film was at least half as good as this one, I'd stop complaining for a minute.

Re: District 9
Maybe if you paid to see the good films, there’d be more that were “half as good”.

Or you can wait a few days and read the reviews before watching the movie.

Re: District 9
Thought the movie kicked ass; but some may not like it -- probably the same ones who cause most of the bad things.... er ... nevermind.
