It would be EXTREMELY cool if someone just improved the damn graphics and added some more human weapons. I'd be perfectly satisfied with JA2 level graphics and cool character models (clad in black, body armor, helmets, tactical flashlights strung uder the barrels of their weapons, etc) Plus good gre...

• Only 71 percent of the surveyed Americans could locate on the map the Pacific Ocean, the world's largest body of water. Worldwide, three in 10 of those surveyed could not correctly locate the Pacific Ocean. Ugh...holy motherfucking shit... I've never EVER met anyone who couldn't find the frigging...

Anacondas will play with their food ( :lol: ) for shits and giggles. They will eat something alive, regurgitate it, then eat it again for the pleasure of the kill. Actually, I seem to remember seeing a pidgeon kill one other for no apparent reason. They were in a fight, and after one of them lost, ...

Part Two: Short Perspectives
Well, here it is. Part Two, written for my small fan base here ;) The next part will probably be going out sometime in February, after my exams. Please post some comments this time, as I'm sure that I'm not doing everything right, and I cannot improve my works if I don't know what people like and do...

In relation to this...more than armour...simply not being there is a much better defense. That's all fine and dandy, but I was asking about armor :) Word from american scientist is, strength is high for just about any deformation. While it's only in simulation at the moment, the results on elongati...

As I understand it, armor piercing bullets defeat kevlar armor by applying force to the smallest area possible. This is why you need a material that can resist schock well (eg. steel), so that it won't break under the stress. Fullerenes would be closer together, yes, but would this property in itsel...

Fullerene vests vs Kevlar and steel
Ok, a topic for the engineers in here. I've been hearing a lot about fullerene nanotubes and their supposed properties. There are people claiming that such tubes are 100 times more durable than steel, and as such would be great for replacing kevlar as a material that bulletproof vests are made from....

X-Com fanfic: Gabriel's Sword
The idea struck me a few days ago. I won't bore you with the description of the thought process, I'll just say it involved lots of heavy metal, a little boredom and a night's game of X-Com. Some of you may notice that I changed the date, equipment and tactics a bit - please forgive me for that ;) An...

What do I fear? First, it's strangers. Ever since I was robbed for the first time, I view everyone around me on the street as hostile. I feel like everyone dreams of nothing but doing something bad to me. As I walk down the street, I'm constantly searching for a place to run for if anything happens....

When members of an essential city service strike, it's putting people at risk. It should be dealt with swiftly, either with negotiations, or just giving into their demands if they keep the strike up, if the demands aren't too much. However, some might exploit this and give themselves raise after ra...

Govrnment employee strikes
Well, in my English class today we were discussing if government employees should be allowed to strike if they are underpaid, in order to get higer wages. The issue went unreasolved (well, it was a speech excersise, after all, not a formal debate), but it managed to slip into a morality discussion. ...
