Both of those redesigns are based on his "Helldiver" concept:

You can do that in real life too. It's a choice someone can make, albeit a very bad one. Maybe they should ban real life?

When I was six years old, I knew how to safely operate a MIG welder without supervision.

Y'know, if your pancakes vibrate like that, you probably shouldn't eat them.

This is biblical.

Well, count me in on that bandwagon of yours, because I absolutely hate that tracer-every-round nonsense too. A lot of my favorite Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas realism mods reduce or eliminate the tracers from the game. If you're some kind of survivalist dude out in an irradiated wasteland, the last thing you want…

Chromehounds was excellent. You could join one of three factions - Tarakia, Morskoj or Sal Kar - and see your side claim victory in a full-fledged persistent online campaign with a guild/clan system that let up to 20 players join a squad and fight as a team (maximum in-game was 6v6, IIRC). Every aspect of your mech…

Ahh, precisely. ;)

Dude needs a Waterpik.

Yep. What a lot of people don't realize is that firearms place ridiculous amounts of mental stress on their users, especially if those users are inexperienced shooters. The human fight-or-flight response is basically tailored towards beating a dangerous predator's head in with a rock, or climbing up a tree to avoid…

Actually, it doesn't seem so strange. I've been addicted to Mount & Blade: Warband lately, and the concept of a land filled with noble houses, feudal lords and roving bandits is still quite fresh in my mind.

My favorite unthinkable future is the one where the continued adherence to trends predicted by Moore's Law eventually results in us creating cell phones that are smarter than people. Oh, wait. That's not unthinkable. In fact, it's in the process of happening as we speak.

Ahh, I skimmed over the paragraph about the Nanoha doujin. All I saw was the mention about how the "Art for this article is generic Nanoha artwork". Had me scratching my head for a minute there.

What the heck does Nanoha have to do with this nonsense, anyway?

I have to admit, that made me LOL. Hard.

Bad Company and its sequel had some of the best firearm sound effects in any video game ever. Heck, they actually had a minigun that sounded like a real minigun. Yes, that's exactly what they're supposed to sound like. Predator and Terminator 2 got it dead wrong.

Exactly. The stigma against Juggalos over here is similar to the stigma against Otaku over there.

Most people don't really even know what suppressors are for. They think that the whole point of a suppressor is so that the target doesn't know where the shot is coming from. Unless it's mounted to a sniper rifle or DMR, that simply isn't the case. The whole point of putting a suppressor on a CQC weapon like a…

Oh, so it means "house" in the sense of "House Atreides". Thus, it connotes the idea of treating other, like-minded enthusiasts of a given work as "part of the family". That doesn't seem so bad. Then again, the term also seems to suggest that one is disloyal to their own ACTUAL family by being a part of this "other…

What I don't get is why so many movies and video games have such unrealistic firearm sound effects. Very often, fully-automatic weapons in movies and video games produce no reverb and sound like someone jingling a change purse while pounding on a bass drum. I've said it before and I'll say it again; real guns sound -…
