[azn] mech warriors probably run on windows

[saturnine]

like anime and fucking manga asian bullshit? or real white manimation?

[Crusader]

i dont know. manimation?

[saturnine]

well, that was merely a clever combination of white man + animation.

[Crusader]

gi joe, umm the simpsons?

 

im guessing they outsourced those shows to asia too though

[saturnine]

even the cartoons i grew watching turned out to be anime... i couldn't help but loathe them now. it was very disheartening.

[Muran]

When I think of manimation I think of stuff like Heavy Metal...

 

Or Fritz The Cat...

[saturnine]

has asian written all over it

[Crusader]

talking animals. yep.

 

what about the mech warrior shit? wait giant robots are japanese.

[saturnine]

asians love them some robots and talking animals.

[Crusader]

and the japanese combined them in:

 

 

 

which was probably animated on a mac

don't forget

 

TENTACLE SEX.

 

wahaha.

Meh. The japanese ones are alway winged and have swords and such. Huge mechanised ninjas. Battletech stuff was more...clunky. In a good way.

 

 

^ No.

 

 

^ Yes

 

 

Anyway. The Mac-PC thing comes down to preference.Most of the reasons for choosing one over the other are fairly trivial to the general public. Try both. Use what works for you...and your wallet.

what's wrong with gundams?!

 

and timberwolf was a cool one.

Too big, fast, and too agile to be believable. I have the same problem with Neon Genesis whatever the hell it is. And most other Anime robots I've seen. They violate the laws of physics. That, and I am more interested by something which presents the user with specific tactical limitations...IE, heat vs ammo consumption, speed vs armour, etc. Makes for a more interesting engagement, in game or book form. It's just closer to a believeable combat situation, which suits me just fine. More of a lumbering war machine than a gargantuan yet surprisingly light-footed suit of armor.

 

To be honest, I'm something of a Battletech geek (not to the tabletop gaming extent, mind you).

 

And yeah....TImber Wolf/Mad Cat is the one most people seem to recognise even if they don't know what it's from.

[Crusader]

fire your kinetic energy weapons into my heart. robots might move fast in space since theres no weight issues.

[Sparq]

You best back off my Gauss rifle, son.

 

There's still inertia and mass in space. I recall seeing a scene, I think it was Neon Genesis, wherein a huge robot lifted a battleship out of the sea to shield itself from some missiles. Come ON. That ship would have torn ITSELF apart just being manhandled that quickly.

 

Also, Battletech has normal Ninjas and doesn't need big robot ones.

[Crusader]

true. i want a particle cannon. i now want to play mechwarrior.

[Muran]

Which came first? The Gundam or the Transformer? OR even more important. Which is better?

[Crusader]

gundams came out in 1979.

 

transformers 1984.

 

i liked gundams better. the robots didnt talk. i guess thats "realistic" in some sense.

[Sparq]

Mmm, Particle Projection Cannon.

[Muran]

Gundams had people in them, though...so they kinda talked...

[Crusader]

but transformers didnt. they were "alive"

[Sparq]

Sometimes they did. I kept thinking that human kid was gonna get mangled when Bumblebee transformed without letting him out of the car first.
