Thanks for taking the time to post a new comment or a reply to one! First scan these quick notes, if you please:
General
* Currently, previewing a post is optional; you're welcome to preview or post immediately.
* You should see plain text input by default; click "enable rich text" for fancy formatting tools. (Some people love that and some don't. Be aware that formatting tool performance may vary by browser.)
* With apologies to all, "captcha" questions may face unregistered posters. Otherwise, the spam flow will dwarf the Nile.
Registration and login
* Registration is available! Sign up here. Chief benefits at present include the ability to edit your own comments, bookmark favorite content, and manage subscriptions (newsletter, threads, etc.).
* If you'd prefer to post as an unregistered visitor, that's welcome too. Just leave "Your name" as the default "Esteemed Visitor", or type in some other name. (But if you happen to type in a name used by a registered user – say, "tbone" – you'll get an error telling you so when you hit "post comment". And while your post text should still be there, waiting for a revised user name, there's a chance it could disappear.)
* If you're a registered user but haven't logged in and want to post a quick comment as Esteemed Visitor, that's fine; see above.
* If you're a registered user but haven't logged in, and enter your user name under "Your name" when posting, you'll get an error saying that's the name of a registered user. That's a good thing; it means strangers can't make posts under your user name! But as above, there's a chance of losing your post text. It's best to log in first here, and then start your posting.
Final
All the above is standard stuff for community web sites, but reminders are good; I hate post-related glitches, and hate to see people run into them on this site. On this or any site, it's a good practice to do a quick "Select All" and "Copy" on your post text before hitting "Preview comment" or "Post comment" – just in case.

How's everything?
Enjoying your Games Diner meal? Is the wait staff attentive? Is the chef bathed? (Then it must be a Sunday.) You do know that a little eggshell in the French toast adds calcium, right?
If the cramps haven't set in yet, I hope you'll say Hi to the chef or check out the many ways you can contribute to the Diner.
Now eat. Eat up! You're as thin as a rail.

Godzilla's ST
I know this is a really old post, but it is so fun! I think that most hollywood or movie giants tend to have ST proportional to a human of the same size, not based on real physics. In other words, ST 750 only gives Godzilla a basic lift of 56.25 tons, or 0.4% of his weight. This means that he cannot lift his own weight or even close to it! However, there are many movie examples where Godzilla performs feats of ST far beyond this. If Godzilla were to have ST proportional to a human (a BL equal to about 13% of mass) -- fitting since he is often played by a human in a big rubber suit -- then his ST would be about 4400 for a weight of 15,000 tons. Personally, I think this is closer to movie physics.
His durability varies from movie to movie, so his DR would fluctate based on incarnation, but I would put his DR at 2,000. This makes him virtually immune to everything but heavy artillery. A Javelin Missile at 6dx11(10) would only do 31 points of damage to him on average. That means he could take 141 missile strikes before going down! This seems closer to the Japanese movie versions of Godzilla (not the Roland Emmerich version; his would only have DR 50 or so, IME).
As for Regeneration, I don't think so. High HT, Very Rapid Healing, and maybe Unkillable 1. He would recover 880 HP per day with a HT roll.
I would also put his Breath Attack at 6dx100 burn damage. Enough to be a danger to himself should his attack be reflected back at him.
