Funky wire system? Uh, you mean like Aquarion here?
Makes sense.
it exists
(star trek into darkness is still a dumb name)
Oh my god seriously?
seriously
like
really?
which part
the shitty ass name
the fact that thats an actual official poster
the fact that this is still a movie thats happening
because all of the above are true
the shitty ass name.
I don't think anybody was seriously doubting there would be a Star Trek reboot sequel considering how great the first one is* (and how succesful it was, too)
Having said that, Into Darkness sounds like the sort of codename production uses to hide the nature of the project rather than the actual name (Obviously that's not the case here, but yeah)
*: malk no malking
I just meant that it's finaly coming out after like four whole years more than that it was in question whether it would happen at all.
but yeah it's a godawful name
but benedict cumberbatch is in it so it balances out
I wonder if the backlash will be huge enough to change the name. I mean, it happened with X-Men's posters. Why not?
a man can dream
if he's the villain i'll have to ragequit tumblr or die from all the feels and butt posts
yeah in that case get ready to abandon your blog
I would like to run a very small, informal experiment. This is for my brains, so please contribute.
All any willing participants have to do is describe to me, to the best of their knowledge, how a shield is correctly used. Unwilling participants must report to their nearest disciplinary clergyman and will be dealt with shortly.
No rules, no structure. You can make distinctions between types if you like or not at all. You may longpost, shortpost, or image macro. Just express how you think a shield is used. This is for my brains.
you put it in the way of a sword
and the sword is stopped
sometimes, if you're tricky, you can hit people in the face with them, too
keep the shield in between the other dude's weapon and your body
maybe hit them with it if the opportunity presents itself
try not to break your arm
so far so good
don't fail me guys
you strap it to your left arm
put it in front of you to protect a part of your body from the other dude's weapon
block hits if necessary
hit him with the shield if convenient
Good enough?
What they said.
You throw it at people and it returns like a boomerang always.
and you paint a star on it.
Oh, and sometimes they're magical and confer enhancement bonuses to your Armor Class, as well as the normal shield bonus.
you all posted wonderful, insightful answers
but the correct answer was in fact geometry
all of you go home
booooo
maths has no place in swords
fuck you i have diagrams
no not diagrams
my secret weakness
Geometry is rapiers anyway.
Well, rapiers are where geometry was first expressed explicitly, but geometric principle applies equally to all weapons. It's bar none the most efficient way of understanding the essence of how to use a sword.
the most efficient way to use a sword >>> stick the pointy end in the other guy >>> you win >>> except if you're fighting a girl
okay but what if their sword is in the way
what then
huh
stick the pointy end in another guy
then stab the first guy when his sword is away
if his sword still isn't away stab him in the balls
no you're wrong
don't make me diagrams
okay
dont even bother with sticking the pointy end in another guy
just stab the first guys balls straight away
in fact i dont even know why we bother with anything else
stabbing them in the balls is just so effective
not likely to be able to do anything for days after
