Quote:Agreed. If you look at the Katana vs. Longsword video, there was significant damage to the Katana at its tip. Whether the damage was caused before the video or not is not known and the metal armor seemed to be rather flexible compared to some of the more rigid armors so going through a few sets of full plate armor would destroy the blade.Originally Posted by Hyperstrike
They're not magic. Throw out all the chop-socky, samurai, and ninja flicks you've ever seen. They're a very good sword that's been perfected for a specific variety of combat over hundreds of years.
But cutting through plate steel (or even 18 gauge chain) is not something it's going to do. Of if it somehow does, it WON'T be doing it again as the edge will look something like this afterward. -
Katanas are a work of art, but it would be more difficult to create a meteorite Katana. Creating a Katana requires more specialized people than creating a long sword or whatever Pratchett helped to make.
Katanas remind me of a joke I heard a couple of times in anime.
Protagonist: Don't worry I only hit you with the broad side of my sword.
Protagonist's ally: Uhh, sir. You do realize that it is a double-edged sword (or light sword depending on genre)?
Protagonist: Oops. -
Would have preferred Cats rather than Dogs, but it is too difficult to get the cats to do anything.

Tony Stark since he could develop or already has a Bomb detector.

Xenosaga has already done that. Although since there is only 5% gameplay and 95% cutscenes, then it worked quite well.

Zombie Pirates vs. Ninja Robots vs. Demon Catgirls. Who would win? Personally, I am voting for either the Ninja Robots or Demon Catgirls.

Hopefully, they add more functions to this pack. Personally, I should be able to pass the basketball or soccer to another person. The main reason why I got this pack because I like to use the /petsayall <em ...> command. Having Demons and Robots imitate Micheal Jackson is too much fun. Going to have to try them doing Disco. Have tempted to roll a Necro/ MM to put on a reasonable imitation of Thriller. Although I don't think the dance moves are the same.

Quote:If a civilization could move a planet across the galaxy, then they would be able to create planetary shields to protect it during the journey as well as creating an artificial sun to supply light and heat. Instantaneous travel would be even better assuming there is nothing required to protect the planet during flight.Originally Posted by Bill Z Bubba
Something tells me that this would be detrimental to life on said planet.

Tractor Beams aren't that impressive. Let me know when they can move a planet across a galaxy in a reasonable amount of time.

Didn't find anything for 1913.

Skynet is just letting us kill ourselves off. Why lift a robotic claw when there is a very good chance that we will do it for him. All he needed to do was get rid of everyone responsible for the project that knew he was sentient.

There is no "5 in a row" badge. The badge is for any 5 moral choices.
You could go L-R-R-R-L or L-L-L-L-L or R-R-R-R-R or R-L-R-L-R. The only thing that will not work is U-U-D-D-L-R-L-R-A-B. -
Anime and Manga are purely a literary style. Comics are the same, but most of it is superhero based. If you can think of a particular subject, then you can find an anime or manga that deals with it. The same thing can't be said about Comics. I have heard of a bread-making manga/anime, but I have not heard of a bread-making comic.
The main advantage that Anime and Manga have over Comics is that there is only one person in charge of it. Comics are usually longer lasting and have more than one person in charge over its lifespan. If you enjoy the writing style of one writer, then the Comic can be ruined when their successor comes around. Also, writers like to modify their projects to their own tastes so it requires to be retconned a bit. Retcons happen with Animes as well, but they are rare and results in a new anime that is closer to the manga than the original anime since the storyline doesn't catch up. Fullmetal Alchemist, Dragonball Z, and Claymore are animes that have gone or are undergoing this process. -

Here's an actual character's power that I just wouldn't want: The Darkness.
Jackie pretty much can't have sex, and he has one of the easiest to come by weaknesses ever (light). It pretty much only works if you're already kinda badass, like Jackie, before you get the power. -
King Midas' Touch. Not being able to eat and the ability to turn your loved ones into gold statues accidentally is not worth being unbelievably rich.

I also like an actual Theocracy. The person in charge is not someone acting under or pretending to act under divine authority, but is the divine authority. Kind of hard to rebel against or find fault with a being that is omniscient and omnipotent. Which is similar to Unconditional Cosmic Dictatorship, but less hazardous to one's existence. Assuming that they are a benevolent divine authority.

What is your favorite type of fictional or uncommon government type? Representative Democracy, Communism, Fascism, and Monarchy don't count. It could be some government you found in a novel or movie or something you have thought of yourself. Real World Politics is prohibited.
Personally, it is either a Direct Democracy or a Representative Democracy where potential candidates are required to complete a number of tests to prove that they appear to be competent at running a country instead of them only being charismatic with no other decent traits. -
Looks like a steampunk lightsaber. Although most sonic screwdrivers look like a lightsaber. Not sure if the look is intentional or not since Doctor Who came first.

Fallout: New Vegas comes out on that day as well. Never got into D&D so GW doesn't interest me that much.

Quote:For the achievements such as setting the building on fire and destroy safes and maybe for defeating Heroes, then this is correct, but it should work for destroying PPD. I think that trick only works for resetting mission objectives instead of npcs and objects.Originally Posted by Eric Nelson

It is possible to farm the same mayhem mission over and over. Just make sure that you have more than 15 minutes when you leave the mission and reset it.
