Blowing up an asteroid is a really bad idea.

You could use high energy lasers to heat one side of an asteroid, using the resultant thrust to redirect it away from earth.

Or use a chain of nukes in a series of explosions to push the asteroid onto a less extinction inducing route.

Another idea is to use thrusters mounted on much smaller asteroids and keep a bunch in earth orbit. Once a nasty block of ice is spotted heading earth ward, sling shot one off around the moon to intercept.

Back in time I played this one. That was great.

I has to be Sci-Fi, they're exiled aliens...

The Stupid thing is, Dystopian future, ecological message, evil corporation holding world to hostage with a big shield thing that's no longer needed, a scientist joining rebels to blow up the emitter, add some Ninja and Kung Fu, and you'd have a really great movie.

It was like they wanted to make that movie, but were told to make a sequel to Highlander, so they ruined that movie by splicing highlanders into it.

I am so keeping that picture. XD

Yeah... Anything post-real Highlander doesnt count. Kind of like any Jaws with a numeral after it or anything other than "The" Matrix.

I dunno... I think I'd take a risk on this one, if it ever became available.

The REAL threat to Earth.

That moves a man to emotion, it does. Why, I feel a poetic spirit descend upon me.

Oh freddled gruntbuggly,
Thy micturations are to me,
As plurdled gabbleblotchits,
On a lurgid bee,
That mordiously hath blurted out,
Its earted jurtles,
Into a rancid festering confectious organ squealer.

Good. So I still have plenty of time to download my GOG games.

My bunker has been ready since 2011 waiting for something exactly like this. It has a full set of gaming PCs ready to run my GOG games, and its own electricity generator using various sources (sunlight, wind, diesel, bodies of dead mutants etc.).

I haven't reserved any food to the bunker yet though, but I'll just order pizza if I ever get hungry.

:> Enjoy Poetry

Ummm, apparently you haven't seen any asteroid threat movies, have you? NASA and the officials hide this until the very last minute, just so that people don't fret too much beforehand. And that they don't try to get into the life-saving vessels which are reserved for the elite of the world. Ooops 2012 wasn't an asteroid movie, but close enough.

Hmm, you were doing so well up to that point.
But then, what on Earth (or Vogsphere) is this? Granted, I know things have been changed every time the story has changed media, but the rest of that poem as I know it goes:

Groop, I implore thee,
my foonting turlingdromes.
And hooptiously drangle me with crinkly bindewurdles,
or I shall rend thee in the gobberwarts with my blurglecruncheon.
SEE IF I DON'T!

That's from the book, by the way. Where is your version from?

It's awesomely shit more like :).
