Asteroid to pass close-by Earth

What have I been telling everyone since last September. “AN ASTERIOD WILL PASS BY EARTH ON APRIL [FRIDAY THE] 13TH, WILL WRAP AROUND AND COME BACK AT US IN 2036 WITH A 1 IN 40 CHANCE OF HITTING EARTH”.
I swear to God, if anyone tells me I’m wrong, I will bitchslap them in the face so hard. I’m not saying this to freak people out, I’m saying this because it may actually happen.
I originally found this out watching…this one show that was coming on ABC. I was in Kelowna, relaxing in this lodge we were staying at, and there was this show that came on. It was something like, “Top 10 ways Earth will die” or something. #6 was the Asteriod. There were a couple other things in there, like a Plague, Super Volcano, Nuclear War aka WW3, Global Warming, etc…Anyway, I started freaking out. It all reminded me of this one time when my “friend” from grade 3, soon after the release of Armageddon, told everyone in our class that his sister told him that when we’re all 37 years old (I was born in 1990), Armageddon is going to happen. Now back then, I took it with a grain of salt. I still had 25 years of my life to worry about, and chances are that his sister is just one of those people who hear about rumors and crap and start spreading them like STDs (except the rumors would be false and…well…the STDs would be…real). This was a while back, and for his sister to say that we’d all be 37 years old…well that’s pretty fucking close to 2036 (1 year difference, for all you math enthusiasts). Since the day I was watching the episode, it’s been in the back of my mind ever since, and any time I’m asked a question about the future, I tell them what I PLAN to do and then add the phrase…”if we don’t get hit by an asteroid in 2036″. They reply with, “What are you talking about Nav?” <insert gasp> “You don’t know about the asteroid that may kill every living thing on this planet?!?” Then I explain to them what I saw in the show.
But remember what I told you guys. When I said it, I wasn’t freaking kidding. I tried looking for that episode online, but I couldn’t find it anywhere. Luckily, I have this info to back me up. Brace yourself, boys and girls; You may want to invest in that trip to the moon.

April 13, 2029
Asteroid 99942 Apophis will pass 21,557 miles from Earth—5,000 miles closer than most weather satellites. It will be visible to the naked eye. At that time, Earth’s gravity may perturb the 820-foot asteroid’s motion and magnify its chance of returning to hit us on April 13, 2036. “

If that doesn’t work, see the picture.

Suprnova back online!

The beloved Suprnova.org Torrent site is back online, thanks to the guys at Pirate Bay. For those of you who haven’t been downloading torrents long enough to remember Suprnova, that site was the #1 place on the net for downloading torrents. Until one day, you’d go on, and you had to register and pay to use their mass storage of torrents. Anyway, they’re back and (hopefully) better than ever. Go to www.suprnova.org.

EGM219: Halo 3 Summary by Nav; Article made by Dan “Shoe” Hsu

For those of you who haven’t bought Issue 219 of EGM, I recommend buying it because it has tons of info on Halo 3 this month. Those of you who haven’t bought it, well, here’s your sneak peek. I’m just going to shred out all the main goodies listed in the magazine, and you can decide whether or not you want to buy it or not.

Weapons

• Mauler: A covenant shotgun which does less damage than a spartan shotty, but is duel-wieldable.
• Gravity hammer: I don’t know how to explain it…Uhh…you can fling enemies away while causing them damage? You can fling vehicles, that are about to totally annihilate you, 20 meters over your head? You can play baseball with enemy grenades and fling them back to your opponents?

Vehicles

• Hornet: One man aircraft that can carry two additional passengers. Doesn’t hover, but flies, like a banshee.
• Brute Chopper: Equivalent to a mongoose, carries one passenger, but is quick and speedy.
• Prowler: Spartan equivalent to the covenant Wraith. 1 Driver, 2 passengers, 1 turret man.
• Elephant: Uhh, I don’t know how to explain this either. It’s big. Really big. It can hold 12+ people. Spartans can spawn in it. It’s a base for the home flag (CTF), and you can move it around. A few turrets. And, by the way, the spartan laser cannon, heh, won’t do anything to this beast.

Equipment

• Radar Jammer: Self-explanatory, except it doesn’t turn their radar off; it gives them false images in their radar, so there may be an enemy in their radar, but really, there isn’t anything.
• Personal shield: Like the jackal shield. It’s stationary, covers only one direction of fire, and you can shoot through it from your side, hitting people opposite to you.
• Regenerator: Does the opposite of the equipment that takes your shield away; It replenishes your shield, on the spot, right away.
• Flare: Like a flash bang grenade, but if you look at it when it goes off, the only way you can see again, is until the flare fades away.

So, now that we got most of that stuff cleared up, there’s tons of more Halo 3 stuff on the web. I’ll be posting every little detail that I know of right here. Heck, this thing is so big, I’ll even make a new category for it .
