Do you guys know any software that basically lets you set up multiple start and end points on each of your music files so you play particular parts of a given track.
Also, multiple tracks for easier switch or some sort of fade between them.
If you guys know anything closer to that, it would be really helpful. I've been using iTunes but it's not exactly what i'm looking for.

Scarlett Johanssen looked smokin' in the Widow costume, and her action sequences were pretty top notch. It would have been nice to at least spot Fury a couple of times in the early movie - perhaps in the court during the opening sequences, checking out how Stark handles himself? Would have made sense, as he could be a fully public face of the Avengers Initiave, if he passed their evaluation.
I'm also wondering how the Thor film will go, plotwise - We know that it's going to have Donald Blake and Jane Foster, but not much actual plot. Will be interesting to find out how the crater figures into it - why was Thor in an impact crater in new mexico? Or for that matter, was it Thor at all? A few others can / have used the Hammer.
Wasnt the Thor movie supposed to happen in asgard? If that's so, probably the hammer falling on earth will be part of the ending.
and yeah, Johansenn looked really great, but the action sequences felt a little "messed" to me. I think they made a different cut after the first trailer appeared and a lot of people noticed the stunt double...
Okay, so here are my two cents. I think it's gonna be related to the end of the movie (the hammer). Have you noticed the hulk scenes and that the captain american shield wasn't finished? So they want to make it feel like each one of the movies end around the same period. (Except for the Hulk one, even though by the end of the movie we are shown him enduring the rage for quite some time).

Just came back from the brazilian premiere in Rio de Janeiro. It rocked so hard, my mind is still numb. Lots of fun, jokes are awesome, action-packed, camera shots are incredible, Avengers tie-ins, John Favreau's got much more screen time and well... AC/DC.

For a while one of the Crafty Crew, Pat I think but don't quote me, had a signature that said "in game terms, reality is broken."
Stunts like that are why reality is broken.
Couldn't put it better.  That's against a fairly close, immobile target though. In the heat of combat it would probably be another matter.
Given how natural it is for him to reload and shoot at that speed, i don't think it would be hard for him in the heat of battle. Of course it wouldn't be a world record, but one can never tell.

Products / Spycraft 2.0 / Jerry, the Uncanny Marksman

I posted this in a different forum, thought It would be fun to put it here too. Jerry bends and sometimes breaks the rules of most RPGs, and these games already have rules for fast characters. It's plain bizarre what this man can accomplish. Examples: Deadlands. You geto to fire 2 shots per second with a maximum of 5 seconds per round. Therefore, 10 shots, but one of these seconds must be reserved for reloading, reducing the number of shots by one, for a total of 9 shots in 5 seconds. He shoots 12 times including the reload in less than 3 seconds. There's one way to do that. It's having an automatic weapon with a rate of fire of 6. Needless to say that it doesn't exist in game, unless a mad scientist does it. Still, that's not something natural or performed by skill. Unisystem, you get to shoot as many times as you want within a round (5 seconds) but there are penalties. And you usually get only to unload the gun, thus reloading and shooting again require two additional actions which you don't get in this game unless you're a supernatural being or a very experienced character. D6 System, each extra shot takes one die out of your dice pool. In roder to hit a target 10 meters away, you'd need(so you don't depend too much on your luck) at least 3 dice and still have a chance of missing. So,he would have the Marksmanship 15D (a regular character can get as much as 6D in a starting skill). If you start with Marksmanship 6D and want to spennd all your XP only in that skill with a rate of 5 character points per adventure. You would need 189 CPs to go from 6D to 15D. Or play: 37 adventures. SIf you play once a week. 259 days. SpycraftLet's supose that Jerry were a 12th level Soldier with the Feats: Revolver Basics, Follow-up Shot and Hail of Fire. He'd be able to shoot two bursts (6 bullets) on his first half action, use the Revolver Basics free reload and repeat the process in his last half action. Still, Jerry used the entire round to do that. In order to do it in less time (the less than 3 seconds record), he would need 11 levels of Soldier and 1 Triggerman level to use the Trigger-Happy core ability, gaining another burst, so 3 more shots. Not enough. Consider Jerry real life condition, 3 additional shots would only complete the third second, since the video states: "less than 3 seconds". Going a little further and stipulating that that means 2,5 seconds, He could do the whole cycle again in another 2,5 seconds. Being 24 shots and two reloads within 5 seconds. Which I believe is impossible at this moment in the rules (at least with a revolver that is) even if you're level 20.

I know this is still under beta testing but there's one Worgen racial missing (which will eventually change, as Blizzard always does) their resistant is against curses and diseases, it doesn't include poisons.
The worgen in the game isn't the true race from another dimension. It's a curse that transformed the human locals into worgen. They learned a way to control the transformation effect of the curse.
They are natural flayers and should get an insight bonus on Profession (Skinner) and/or an increased threat range for their claws.
I haven't check the others yet (since my eyes acted like magnets toward the worgen racials hehe) but for what I took a look at they're pretty good.
Btw, this would be the next best treatment to an adaptation since the 3.5 line is gone for good.

Wait a second.... So the lawman, thief, etc will be in mastercraft? And what will be in the 10kb book? I mean, I thought the more generic classes would be in mastercraft and things like lawman and the like would be in 10kb. Correct me if i'm wrong.

Like I said - it is not so much a time factor for me, I already have more copies of the game than any sane person could need. I'm there with you. Never have I ever bought so many core rulebooks in my life. My friends come over and they can't understand how the same book can have four different looks

I wish I could go, flying from Brazil and actually going to the US for the first time. I had it planned, but I don't think the money will be available by that time. I do intend to go in 2010. Hell, if the world is gonna end in 2012, I have to do this while I've still got time

http://www.benjaminfulford.com/Search his name on youtube and you'll get a good load of stuff from Earthquake Machines, 9/11, Eternal life, Super powers to Chinese Secret Societies that apparently want world peace. For some of you this might not be new, but this guy is spilling the beans one at a time, not much in a Mouthwash Confession scale but the idea is similar. For those who enjoy conspiracy theories or for those who want a background for their Franchise/AEG/Eternals this would be quite interesting. The scary part? This might be real and happening as you read it...
