Here's my new idea for a Forum game. Someone will post a picture. And everyone else has to try to guess what it is. Here's the 1st example:

What is being loaded into the plane?

NOTE: After a couple of incorrect guesses, the OP can then start giving one sentence clues.

I'm gonna guess a computer. Or a piece of ENIAC.

An old-time beverage cart.

sewing machine?

I'm guessing something computer related. Like a CPU of sorts or a hard drive. I doubt it's an entire computer.

Also, Knyte, you probably shouldn't give away the answer in the file name. Just sayin'. Wink

Without looking at what Dark Maze said, I'm gonna guess it's a 5MB hard disk drive. I DEFINITLY did not use what Dark Maze said. I just know cause I own one.

you own a 5mb hard drive from the 50s. Rolling Eyes

YEA who doesn't?!

I own one from the 1850's. It's made out of wood and bear shit.

Yeah, that was just a example.

So I hand the floor over to the 1st person with the correct answer: Necrotism .

Sweet! Good shot in the dark!

Well this might be a simple one but I just happen to be reading about it so....

A Dark Templar from a StarCraft cutscene?

Nope.

Looks like one of the aliens from Independence Day. Perhaps the ID4 videogame?

No, it's not from anything related to ID4. You are on the right track though. It is wearing an "encounter suit".

It looks kinda like Darth Vader, if Darth Vader had been designed by a randy wench.

Kosh from Babylon 5?

Heh, Syd doesn't know it, but he just insulted J. Michael Stracynski, one of the best sci-fi writers of our time.

Douche, you are very, very close. It is indeed from Babylon 5, but it's not Kosh or any other Vorlon. This person only appeared in one episode.

Hardcore Babylon fans might be the only people who can get this, so I'll give it another day, and if no one gets it exactly right, I'll give it to Douche.

I was totally gonna say a Vorlon, but yeah, it didn't look like Kosh.
