...you find the concept of a human/vulcan team playing "good cop/bad cop" to be fucking hilarious. I must join the ranks of epic nerds as this idea is crazy funny.

For it to work, the human has to be the good cop. Let's face it: Vulcans are damned menacing when they want to be and suck ass at being the "nice guys".
Sadly, I can't take credit for this idea: on ST Enterprise, T'Pol and Archer do the bad cop/good cop routine on a pirate. He's telling the pirate about how he'd better come clean in exchange leniency and how she's the "judicial attache" from High Command. Stories he told ranged from a beating for being late for duty to summary executions for worse offenses.
Then T'Pol walks in to the room where the "tribunal" is going to be held which is merely a "matter of formality" and starts asking the prisoner for his height/weight, whether his people have specific funeral rites, etc.
Not long after, the prisoner is singing like a canary.
I was rolling the whole time; it was so awesomely hilarious.
It was the episode "Precious Cargo". Now I still think Archer is the biggest douche hammer to ever sit in the chair, but scenes like that just pile on the lulz.

Speaking of damned menacing, what about Titus Pullo from "Rome" leaning over a table, and saying in a calm, low voice: "Are you calling me a liar?" ;D
I saw that in an episode last night while he and Vorenus were trying to rescue a few slaves from a slave camp and the slavemaster states disbelief in Pullo's claim to be there on Caesar's orders... ;D
I just love the character of Titus Pullo... and he and Vorenus can do the whole Good Cop / Bad Cop routine, and could theoretically switch up the roles - Vorenus in Season One makes a Lawful Good Cop, with Season One's Pullo being the wild card who would use any means necessary, and in Season Two, Pullo is actually more the voice of reason... until you call him a liar... ;D

Spoilers but it also showcases one of Pullo's many berserk buttons. He's pretty much hit rock bottom at this point and doesn't care anymore, until...

"Thirteen! Thirteen!! THIRTEEN!!!"
I love Pullo... this scene is so sad... his prayer at the beginning is heartbreaking... I think it says a lot about him that he doesn't ask for mercy for himself, but simply says he wants Eirene to be safe and happy and live long, and wishes peace for Vorenus and his family... and then it just breaks my heart that he just sits there waiting to die.

You spend three hours searching for, finding, and joining a D-n-D style text based DBZ RPG using a charater you used in a similar RPG some 9 years ago... like me... xD So that one fell apart and I joined another DBZ RPG. I've been on it for about a week and there's this new guy named Kye who joined in... if that's short for Kye-Jen vas Rayya... LET THE TROLLING BEGIN!!!

Well, I hope you have fun. I sure wouldn't.
P.S. - Let me know how much time is required for charging up powers. I assume one has to wait a month or so for one of those world destroying powers to cook up. Which means you'll be spending plenty of time here when Kye is charging up to nuke somebody else with his fists.

Is the place you guys are playing at least soundproof? All the dialogue in that series seems to be entirely in screams...

Well, you know you're an epic nerd when you're well versed enough in the culture of Sci-Fi to find something unnerving about this business logo:

This is a mix of gun nerd and gamer nerd, but... www.dsgrips.com/Samurai-Edge.htmlYes, they do make customizations to turn a common Beretta 92FS into the a replica carried by Chris Redfield or Jill Valentine.
