punctured lung
-> could bleed to death if left untreated/undetected
-> reduced aerobic capacity (i.e. ability to do everything, since everything requires breathing) for the rest of your life.
Discussion is still over.

I thought the same at first, but as you'll see from my post waaaaay down I figured out the solution.
Also, Dr. White brings the same kind of inventiveness as Batman, just without the money or costume or martial arts or hair.
I got Scully, Gandalf and Miley Cyrus.
Perfect - the badass wingman, the font of wisdom, and the bait.
(it's ok, Gandalf can throw burning pinecones to keep them from eating her... besides, what's the point of having a bait team-member along of she can only do her job once?)
oh god no, then we have to deal with the little so-and-so. Even the wildlife won't deal with him quickly enough to avoid permanent corruption...
The old methods are best. Fire, nukes, more fire.
hey, anything to get rid of Abbot.
Even 'Murica....
nah, Karma just keeps going around and around
(although I need 3 more votes to make this work guys - come on, three votes in the name of funny?)
I agreed right up to "legitimate competitive gaming".
Yeah, no, that's never going to happen.
Although I'm surprised that the trope isn't the other way around, PC is *generally* less elitist... but I guess it's an intentional irony, something the peasents would never get because console games can't make self-referential irony jokes about programming etc.
ditto - it wasn't part of the 'cram imperial dogma down everyone's throat' canon, and there were areas of pretty big creative license taken to make it work, but it was still a good game.
It captured the 40k "oh crap oh crap everyone I see is gonna be dead in the next few minutes, RUN!" feeling pretty well, something that the later 40k games never did as well IMO.
Although Tau firing bolters without their arms getting torn off from the recoil... yeah, that's a bit much
you have it all wrong - the power of Christ is what's spinning (compelling) the chair
Librarian? The horned skull on the Aquila would fit, and those things on the head look like the sockets for a Psychic Hood... not to mention the visible age being a good sign anyway (normally someone that old would be a veteran/HQ, in which case they'd probably have a fancy helmet)
This isn't an accurate depiction of Aussie life.
There isn't nearly enough beer, there are far too few beaches, there aren't anywhere near enough bogans (even presuming the original couple are bogans with fully bogan offspring, that's still not enough bogan to be accurate) and nobody is getting killed by homicidal wildlife.
Countryball guy needs to do more research.
There's a recurrent joke in the 40k group that all of the "cannon fodder" orks in the new 40k MMO will be F2P Brazillians trying to "loot" premuim accounts
uh... "common space marines" upgraded with generations of training, specifically designed anti-demon weapons and tactics, and "hard-coded" immunity to demons through their training.
To look at it another way, Horus was the first "demon prince" and the Imperium had little to no idea what they were up against at that point. GK have come a looooooong way since the first time they were created to fight Chaos; they're like the SWAT of Space Marines - specifically designed to pwn demons.
Another real-world example: anti-tank infantry with anti-tank RPGs. Sure, the tank is more "powerful", but the RPG trooper will still wreck the tank if they get the chance to fire. It's the same thing again, a specifically designed weapon will still do its specifically desingated job even if it can only do that one job.
and biting down on (or even touching) a Gellar field even less so
yes, I'm really worried about a normal close combat weapon when the guy has an AP3 plasma rifle and a BS that would make most frontline troopers envious/rage with righteous fury...
In that situation, it wouldn't matter that the sword is useless in a Tau's hands, because anything short of a Termi is probably going to be dead by melee range anyway.
I love the way that the train gets a police escort... because yeah, it's so easy to overlook that massive steaming behemoth coming down the middle of the road.
That said, it's a very interesting take on the idea of tramlines, and probably helps to control the population of reckless drivers and over-agressive cyclists and motorcyclists to boot.
A lot of the classic imagery has the Marines dipping their pauldrons to incoming fire, not so much using them as armour as a shield in front of their body and much of their face.
Think like a police riot shield, but attached to the upper arm rather than the lower arm (so as not to impede firing their boltguns)
Hunger Games can go just as deep into nerd territory once you start doing a geopolitical analysis of the factions and their global aims...
instead of immersing yourself into the history of the book, HG is one of the few texts which can lead to nerdhood via the other (real world) direction, by "counting backwards" to figure out how the get from the present day into HG-style world. The scary thing is, that doesn't take many steps...
Oh please, if the Cave Trolls couldn't do that then what chance do we have? I'd say break out the last barrels of beer to save time, and then get out of the way.
Except these are the Dwarves from the movie (and book) titled after a Hobbit, not the Hobbits from the movie titled after a Human who becomes the Lord of the Rings...
no, just the Doge crap - I could live with nothing else but C+H if it meant no more Doge
The Soroitas are basically power-armoured nuns with the usual 40k badassery modifications - they're trained and equipped to the limit of human potential, but they're still all human (in fact, many people I speak to say that they use less bio-augmentation... certainly there are more eyepatches, peglegs etc. on Sisters models than on other Imperial servants, even lowly Guardsmen seem more likely to get bionic based on the models). They exist because the Ecclesiarchy isn't allowed to keep "men" under arms, so they get the best equipment that the Ecclesiarchy can buy/tithe/steal/plunder, including specially fitted power armour; however it doesn't "mesh" with the Sisters like it does with the Marines so they don't get the benefits of automated drug dispensers, complete bio-sign monitoring etc.
Space Marines are, of course, well beyond "human"; supposedly the superhuman organs only work with male body chemistry (because the Primarchs were all dudes?) which is why female SMs aren't possible in the backstory.
That said, there's nothing to stop rogue Mechanicum, Ecclesiastical or Inquisitorial elements from trying...
Best pun ever, although it's a bit colloquial mate - a lot of people from other parts of the world call them "pies" instead of "pats".
actually, it's both the price AND the speed; not to mention that we're a bloody huge place and there's no practical way to lay cables up and down the country to give everyone a steady connection - sometimes it actually is cheaper here to send letters via helecopter or motorbike courier than it is to get a sattelite hookup.
there are a lot of such animes - it's a common trope in both Western and Eastern culture; there are dozens of movies in both cultural modes.
In other words, there are a looooooot of people just looking for an excuse to go on a killing spree; so much so that they'll take even a flimsy story like "my phone told me to do it"
No, we all expect these so called "motivational images" to end with an ironic twist when they're posted in this group page...
It's when you start expecting the same ironic endings in the motivational posters on people's walls that you've been in the group too long
"manicure" literally translates from the Latin as "hand work" or "hand preservation" - a handyman/woman might today be a manicurist if someone had thought to give the job a fancy Latin-derived title.
