Re: Leopard 2A7I vs RX-78-2 Gundam
Since you're stupid. Scroll down . It's ok precious; I know asking you to actually provide evidence is hard for you. I'm glad you can actually do anything beyond simply state things on your personal authority, though! You added something to a discussion that wasn't hot air! I'm glad you have suppli...

Sorry I can't hear you over the radio saying 'if we take the clip involving a hugely foreshortened and distorted gun as bible truth'. :lol: I'll set you a fun homework assignment; actually demonstrate the dangers of muzzle flash. I don't doubt they exist; but you have provided no reason to actually ...

Re: So, New Xbox Reveal In About 14 Hours.
Are there backlashes in today's gaming media? Was there a backlash against Bioshock Infinite being terrible? The Ouya being terrible? Star Command being terrible? At worst everyone will simply forget they ever read, believed, or said those things.

Re: Leopard 2A7I vs RX-78-2 Gundam
I'm not confident in my ability to eyeball 'subsonic', but since 120mm blow up tanks, throw up 15m dust clouds etc, if they're slow explosive rounds I don't really see how this is 'bad'. I'm only familiar with the 'reasoning' that since the 120mm in this example has 'no flash' and is 'really slow', ...

Re: Leopard 2A7I vs RX-78-2 Gundam
Since the gun doesn't even look to be aimed at Shiro and he would have seen the trigger being pulled, Connor is probably just saying using poor reasoning for a conclusion is poor. 120mm are certainly seen sometimes with pretty slow projectiles and a lot of arcing (there's a brief shot in that clip w...

Stop authoritatively stating shit with no evidence and I'll stop asking for it. Grow a spine too; I read DW encyclopedias when I was six.

Re: Leopard 2A7I vs RX-78-2 Gundam
The 120mm is a space Lewis with a pan magazine; should we attribute it characteristics of a real Lewis with a man-scale pan magazine and say it jams or is bad in the field and Zeon abandoned it as terrestrial combat became an important concern? How far can those kind of 'looks like, is like' thought...

Re: (Turkey)Occupy Gezi crackdown spins out of control
Alyeska already talked about how for many, many people, the idea of democracy is conflated with social, cultural and political ideas to mean 'like it is here' rather than 'government determined by majority vote'. It's possibly even a normative thing - it's easy for people to imagine all those bizarr...

Re: Leopard 2A7I vs RX-78-2 Gundam
If people keep assuming 120mm = 'just like a tank gun', can we play 'scale the gun off Shiro's body' and see what happens? In space, millimetres are clearly larger.
Don't worry, I'm not offended you ignore posts that suggest your repeated conclusions are wrong.

Re: Robotech Boardgame KS (the Cash Value of Nostalgia)
I've been following that indiegogo, too. I won't get anything until they split the sprues, though, since I don't like orks. Stark, the individual figures in the indiegogo are supposed to be 6mm tall. For Robotech, the cockpits for the Veritechs should hold a 6mm man, but the Zentraedi should be rou...

Re: What did Spock Tell the Federation?
Dude, it was Gandalf's suggestion that Spock should 'warn' the Federation about the Botany Bay. I don't think he should do anything (well, except fuck off and die and stop polluting the reboot). Saying everything that happens after he arrives is somehow his responsibility is pretty crazy. I know thi...

Does that mean it aged him 200 years and it visibly didn't change much, or that it didn't affect him as much as the poor woman? Bear in mind aging him has been seen to turn him into a hobbit.

If this was 1/285, wouldn't the figures be like, 5cm tall? They look the size of 40k mans.

Re: (Turkey)Occupy Gezi crackdown spins out of control
The question being such a laugh is why almost all tabled suggestions for ditching the monarchy in Australia have entirely different solutions to the executive power, and some have arguably deliberately been stupid or dumb (ie America) to lose on purpose.

Re: Leopard 2A7I vs RX-78-2 Gundam
The only thing noteworthy about the event is lack of flash and blast; idiots might imagine it requires huge reflexes to leap aside from a shot that was going to miss anyway, but their inability to imagine Shiro seeing the Zaku pulling a trigger isn't my problem. Expecting me to give a shit about the...

Re: Leopard 2A7I vs RX-78-2 Gundam
The simplest explanation that doesn't ignore the bulk of evidence seems to me that it was a misfire or partial detonation or other malfunction. The 120s are variously shown at all kinds of different performance, and its important to note that the machineguns usually have the muzzle flash scaled like...

Yeah Zeon mentioned it as a bad thing, like it was a provocation to the military to arrest traitors. It's bizarre how outcomes let people distort their values.
