In grade school, we learned to use x. In algebra, we learned to use the dot. In calc, we learned to use the asterisk. In compsci, we learned to use parenthesis. The important thing is that you can recognize the proper syntax. In this case, it is obviously multiplication.

They're understood not to be vectors, so at this point is is assumed to be basic multiplication. The syntax is mainly for clarity.

Right, but I think your situation is an edge case, not a common one. But also when you're talking 90 paragon levels you're also talking about trying to make modicum improvements to gear, which is never simple.

And if you're talking about not getting a choice uberrare, like a Furnace, or T&T, or Witching Hour - well,…

I dunno - I would think holding a heavy gyro-stabilized weapon for an extended period (especially balanced against the hip) would generate some nasty vibrations. I've used a heavy powered hammerdrill in concrete for over 10 minutes and I felt like I was going to lose my arms by the end of it.

Granted, based on the G4…

Yeah, so it's gonna sound like I'm hanging up on you, BUUUUUUT

So the little micro one she fired at the end of the video isn't what I was referring to - I'm talking about someone trying to lug around the full version of the M-134 that is popularized in video games. The sheer amount of rapid vibration being loaded onto a human body from that monstrosity cannot be safe.

That is a…

All the videos I've found have the gun mounted - do you know of one where someone is carrying one? Keep in mind we are discussing the basic idea of 'man portable' as the one used in the Predator movie.

I once shot a tiny little Sig .356 that - no matter what stance I took - would bop my forehead with the brass every damn time. It was funny - people kept trying to show me different stances and ways to hold the gun, but no matter what - BANG, pop, forehead, ow. The range owner just ended up lending me a hat to wear.

I wonder if anyone has been seriously injured or killed from casing ejections... hmm, Google is unhelpful.

"Capable of holding 1200 rounds of ammunition, which can be fired in only 17 seconds. However, it should be noted that this sustained rate of fire would cause the GAU-8 to reach temperatures high enough to completely melt through the A-10 and render the aircraft unfit for further combat engagements using the cannon."

T…

Also not mentioned from the man-portable version: the fact that firing the weapon would most likely kill the wielder due to the overwhelming amount of vibration being pulsed through the human body.

Also no mention of the Phalanx system used for missile defense on modern naval warfare vessels? Nothing makes missiles…

Single Player or Go Home!

Is it brotastic? How is the plot to the bro-adtrip? Do you get to team up to do brottacks with your other bros? Do you get to summon Brodin or Broseiden, God of the Brocean?

Bias alert:

Best game ever was 6. Followed by 4. Followed by 7. Followed by 10. Followed by 5. 9 is not on my list - I hated it once you…

If the 'chosen few' are lucky, the entire thing is a scam. If they're not lucky, they're going to be in the hands of a bunch of idiots who are TRYING TO DO SCIENCE. It doesn't have to leave the Earth to kill people.

It's a $15 game, it plays like a $15 game, and it is as fun as a $15 game. The biggest issue I've had is that the AI is rather rubbish in combat. The only time I actually lost a ship is when I was being stupid and sent my tank into a bad position and had their entire fleet focus fire and bring it down.

It isn't not…

It's funny you should mention that, because I actually got my doctorate IN cosplay!

Actually, based on how Mars One is being run, the headline should really be "A cosplayer is one of 100 potential people who will die a horrible death before getting to Mars."

First thing I thought of

Right sure, but you forgot the most important point: The company that made CITIES IN MOTION - a game about mass transit around a city - has a major problem with the traffic AI in their newest game.

That's... ironic? Funny? I'm not sure.

I'm willing to believe that they believed that the traffic was the last thing…
