#25171 holy crap!!!

Personally I'm a fan of the ultra tank the nazi's considered building. Armor plates so thick tanks couldnt penetrate it. It's size ratio was to be: a human is to a tank as a tank is to the ultra tank.

It was never built because of a few issues. 1 the cost of making it was outrageous. 2 it was so heavy that it would have literally destroyed roads just by driving across them(it was to weigh around 200,000 lbs). And 3, it could not cross bridges as it would simply crush them.

While the tank was never built 1 of its turrets was. The turret was retasked as a coastal defense battery.

This reminded me of something.

#24643 "I love poisoning and stabbing!" - US Senate Candidate

Posted by Bowsette on 04 October 2012 - 08:08 PM

The Republican Party of Maine has revealed that Democratic State Senate candidate Colleen Lachowicz has a secret life that she's been hiding from voters. Drug use? A Swiss bank account? No, sadly, even worse: she has a scary-looking World of Warcraft character.



"Colleen Lachowicz spends hundreds of hours playing in her online world Azeroth, as an Orc Assassination Rogue named Santiaga," reads a flyer sent to voters in the district. It's identified as funded by the Maine Republican Party.



"I love poisoning and stabbing! It is fun," the flyer quotes Lachowicz as saying. The candidate is apparently a regular commenter at DailyKos, a liberal blog. And the Maine GOP has mined the site looking for what it regards as damning comments. Most of Lachowicz's remarks were posted in 2009 or 2010, most likely before she began her current campaign for office.



"I can kill stuff without going to jail," she wrote in December 2009. "There are some days when this is more necessary than others." The flyer points voters to a website, called "Colleen's World," that highlights more cases where she describes virtual violence she committed in the online world.



Lachowicz uses salty language in some of the comments, but someone needs to sit the Maine GOP down and explain the difference between fantasy and reality. Every day, millions of people engage in simulated video game violence without committing any real-world violence. By suggesting a World of Warcraft hobby should disqualify someone for office—and implying that voters are too dumb to tell the difference between virtual and real violence—the party is only embarrassing itself.



Update: David Sorensen, a spokesman for the Maine GOP, stood by the flyer in an emailed comment: "Referring to herself as 'lazy' and writing about how she has been playing World of Warcraft all day and has gotten nothing done at work, combined with the number of hours most World of Warcraft gamers spend playing the game (22.7 per week, on average) and the number it must have taken her to reach such a high level - all raise questions about her work ethic and her ability to devote her time and energy to serving the people of Senate District 25 in a mature and effective manner."



It's worth noting that the average American watches more than 30 hours of television per week. Many other Americans spend their evenings and weekends at the golf course. Yet it's hard to imagine anyone suggesting that devoting 22 hours per week to those hobbies made a candidate too lazy to hold elected office.



Update: Lachowicz has posted a response on her website:



I think it’s weird that I’m being targeted for playing online games. Apparently I’m in good company since there are 183 million other Americans who also enjoy online games. What’s next? Will I be ostracized for playing Angry Birds or Words with Friends? If so, guilty as charged!



What’s really weird is that the Republicans are going after my hobbies instead of talking about their record while they’ve been running Augusta for the last two years. Instead of talking about what they’re doing for Maine people, they’re making fun of me for playing video games. Did you know that more people over the age of 50 play video games than under the age of 18? As a gamer, I’m in good company with folks like Jodie Foster, Vin Diesel, Mike Myers, and Robin Williams. Maybe it’s the Republican Party that is out of touch.

This is how real women bond.

Violent fetishes and recollections of horrible injuries/childbirth.

#21412 Zombies, vampires, and werewolves...

Posted by Bowsette on 18 September 2012 - 10:29 AM

Horror is generally split into a few subgenres. Gothic horror, supernatural horror, psychological horror, erotic horror (read some of this, it's fuckin' hilarious) sci-fi horror (Alien etc) and Lovecraftian horror (fuck yes). Oh, and dark fantasy, which is generally what zombies etc. fall under. That or supernatural horror.

So yeah, they are fantasy.


#21212 EA says 'It's not us, it's you'

Main problem with the EA hate crowd: They whine, but they don't actually back their words up by not buying EA's products. They buy them, they pay extra for the online play, they buy the DLC, then they wonder why EA doesn't stop doing so much premium content/pass stuff.

If nobody bought it they'd stop. As it stands, they have no reason to stop doing it because they know they'll make bank from it.


#21132 Whenever I see someone post something from the bible on FB

I want to post this

Yet she became more and more promiscuous as she recalled the days of her youth, when she was a prostitute in Egypt. There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses. So you longed for the lewdness of your youth, when in Egypt your bosom was caressed and your young breasts fondled.E

Ezekiel 23:19-21
