Official Derailed thread... Wait, what?

they need to update their information

you mean blunt objects, the only thing sharp on those rotor blades is the sound they make. F# I believe...

I'm gonna have to disagree with ya there Ben, I think that yellow guy suffers the most abuse with the least return.

 

There are two kinds of engineers.

Those that deal with imperial system and those who deal with spacecraft.

People didn't go to Moon with imperial system. Nasa doesn't and didn't use imperial system.

 

Sharpness is relative. Paper clippers are sharp enough to cut paper. Rotor blade is sharp enough to hurt me even without being razor sharp. In fact I think that having a razor edge would be detrimental to the blade's lift properties. Essentially the question is how much do you need to sharpen something in order to have it cut things with ease.

On related note, everyone knows that rotor blades are rigged with self destruct that causes the engine to explode if a rotor impacts with anything rigid. Watch any hollywood movie on the subject.
Also, 'like does not cut like', 'pure energy' and 'vibrating blades'.

Like does not cut like, hence I can block your yberium blade with my own yberium blade. Wrong. They can definitely cut each other.

Pure energy does not exist. There's only energy and matter. 'Pure energy' is just a made up thing that sounds cool. It's not a term.

Vibrating blades, sometimes vibrate so much that it's difficult to make up the shape of the blade. But what good does it do, except make the weapon unwieldy? Nothing. If it was some super secret way of cutting things more efficiently it would have been adopted by industrial manufacturing and surgeons etc. Notice how it's not used anywhere despite the concept having been known for decades.

 

You think that's bad? Our commander told us only one mug. Unfortunately for him, the place they lodged us had an Irish wedding going on.

It was a lot of fun, but it went as well as you can expect.

 

I agree. It's total bullshit when some high ranking wankers who are detached from reality on the ground come up and demand that soldiers, seamen and pilots should limit their alcohol consumption while on duty. Fucking bullshit. Wars are fought and won with alcohol, not men and bullets, not training. Just abundant alcohol reserves and good logistics. It's no wonder logistics is so heavily emphasized in warfare, without logistics your men run out of alcohol in a split second and they surrender. You need alcohol, there's just no getting around that.

 

You know, there are times when I genuinely can't tell when you're being sarcasctic, and that's pretty rare for me.

 

With the way things are these days, ministry of war called 'ministry of defense' and all that PC liberal bullshit we're just counting days until people will start bitching about hookers and drugs during military campaigns for fuck sakes. It's always so easy to bitch about stuff like that while other people are sacrificing their blood and lives.. and the audacity of telling those people how they should fight the war, all this advice and bitching coming from the rear.

 

Well if you don't bring me back hookers and drugs of course I am going to complain.

 

Nuns wearing heelies (shoes with wheels in the sole) are scary

 

This one goes out to all my little bronies.

 

Maybe slightly NSFW?

Spoiler

 

It's a very strangely captivating youtube video someone made. It's quite silly. But I have forgotten what it is called.

 

Blizzards ability at making cinematic trailers is crazy.

 

OG Starcraft was fun and diablo 1 and 2 stole years of my life so they had to be at least ok. But yea recently everything after warcraft 3 was down hill for them.

 

Merger with Activision. Auctionhouse. SC2, no story, only love story. One campaign at a time? What the fuck? More than 4 years and we still don't have Protoss campaign. Such bullshit. And the Zerg campaign.. Just shoot me. Sure "it was very well executed bla bla" but come on.
All sorts of bullshit.

Yea yea, I know it's "hard to make a game with such expectations" - but is it really? Just remake the old game and don't change it too much, please? No, instead try to make it essentially be of different genre and require some small studios (without the IP) to pick up where they left with Diablo and Starcraft. Luckily there's been a ton of good Diablo II sequels, just none from Activision Blizzard.

And no, never call that company Blizzard. It IS Activision Blizzard. Activision before Blizzard and Activision on top of Blizzard. Blizzard only brough their CGI mastery and their IP's.

But who gives a shit? Their stock has been on uninterrupted rise from 2013 after sawing back and forth 2010-2013.
