  1. To late to edit: I used the words "a bit dry" In my previous post but what I really ment was "bitter".
  2. Hot, I really don't understand the logic behind iced coffee. The whole idea behind a cold drink is that it's refreshing, so iced tea I get. Coffee on the other hand is dry and a bit sour, which is fine hot but iced... Really? Not to mention the the caffeine hits you quicker when you drink it quickly because it's cold, which in my experience is not pleasant. So Even on a hot day why would you pick an iced coffee over an iced tea, or soft drink, or water, or lager or even an energy drink (which I need to clarify I also hate)? I'm sorry but I don't get it!
  3. If none of them had a gun, none of them would have got shot. Gun's don't save lives, only take them.
  4. I'm going to go with on time and broken. The creation engine is a fossil that should never have been used post Skyrim. Bethesda proved with Fallout 76 that they don't a fuck about quility control. Most of all they know they don't need to spend the money on man hours because the community will fix the bugs for them! My only hope is that thier new overlords Mircosoft give them some oversight.
  5. The question reminds if a certain story that Sabaton covered in one of their songs.
  6. I did manage to find one of them filed by Republican Representative Chip Roy of Texas. You can read it judge for yourselves. https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/3163/text?r=1&s=2
  7. You can go onto Congress.gov, but their quite hard to find unless you know the bill number. The search tool is not the most intuitive I'm afraid.
  8. What are you on? First of, where did I say "untrained"? You are completely making that up. Second of all, the reason I said farming tools is because the weapons the Ninja are most famous for like Sais and Sickles ARE FARMING TOOLS! Your talking what I'm saying completely out of context. The point I'm making is that they took everyday tools, trained with them and developed effective combat strategies that could beat the much better armed Samurai that would otherwise have the advantage. When I said: That's something I'm saying to their CREDIT! Not Insult! It's something I actually hold a ton of respect for.
  9. I'd probably cast my vote for FIFA a sports games in general. Also Super Seducer, I can't believe there's 3 of the damn things now.
  10. I feel I've seen a bit more of Hercules but I never really followed either. It was the sort of thing I would watch if I was channel flicking and came across it. Nothing wrong with them but they never grabbed me.
  11. Yeah it is, that why I NEVER said that. Not once in ANY post did I say or imply anything of the sort. I used the word "Peasant" because that's where they were in the historical context of Japan's social class system at the time. If you disagree with me that's but I would appreciate it if you didn't put statements in my mouth I did not make. If you believe that anybody could catch a bullet with their teeth then your proving my point. Outside of magic tricks which are smoke and mirrors if course, that shit is impossible. Even if you did manage to get a bite on a speeding bullet (which would have been harder in the 18th century because the calibre of rounds were higher) your teeth would shatter and the round would go to the back of the throat anyway. Your just being ridiculous now.
  12. I'm not sympathetic, he was a tax dodger and his products are premium malware that caused more damage than the viruses they advertised to "protect" against. I had a laptop in University that was rendered almost completely unusable by his garbage.
  13. Yeah.... Cause this is historically accurate. Here's the reality. Ninjas are peasant rebels that use improvised farming tools and short swords. They were forced to deceptive stealth and ambush tactics because they knew they couldn't beat the military Samurai in a fair fight. Don't get me wrong, I respect the hell out of them for being able to make the best out the skills and tools they had. But I'm also a realist. Pirates are Royal and Spanish navy sailors (or at very least trained by them) who were among the best soldiers around at the time. They also used deception and ambush tactics but they where armed with Cutless swords, grenades, cannons, rifles, blunderbusses and multiple single shot pistols. It you genuinely believe Ninja poses a bigger threat then a 18th century Carribbean Pirate you've bought into the "Hollywood" hype that their skills are borderline supernatural (much like that video). If you use logic and historical facts then it's clear the Pirate is just as well (I'd argue better) trained and WAY better equipped. I know I made a bit a joke with the India Jones clip bit it's also the truth. Bring a knife to a gun fight and the gun is going to win, end of story.
  14. There's one other small detail that I believe makes a Pirate a more formidable opponent than a Ninja. In the words of Jack Sparrow "The only rules that really matter are these. What a man can do, and what a man can't do.", And a Pirate can do this: https://youtube.com/clip/UgyR6tFUU8pIDeeKTfh4AaABCQ
  15. I'm sorry to have break it to you but stealth is not as effective as Hollywood and video games would have you believe, or at least not the "lone sneaking" strategy as it's often presented. In reality stealth strategys weren't executed that way, even by Ninja's. They worked in teams, operations where planned, they gathered intelligence, they used diversionary tactics, ambush tactics, disguises, anything they could do to take or subert the enemies natural advantage. Even pirates used these tactics, like I said their not undisciplined louts but professionally trained mercenaries. So if your telling me a lone Ninja would be able to sneak up on a Pirate, kill him then escape quietly without anybody noticing I'm calling BS. It would have to a very well planned operation because that is simply not reality.
  16. Sorry but you've got completely the wrong idea about pirates. I'm assuming that you're talking about the 17th century Carribbean pirates. These people were not the drunk, swashbuckling thugs that most people seem to think. They were well trained and disciplined Spanish and British sailors that were suddenly left out of work when their governments singed a peace treaty on 1808. They were tough fucking bastard's, the marines of their day. Another aspect that works against the ninja here is the design of thier weapons is somewhat compromised by the fact they were usually either everyday tools like sickles or otherwise had to be concealed like throwing stars. A pirate doesn't need to worry about that. It was common to see people carrying swords and guns in public. So when it comes to pirate vs ninja, the pirate would beat the ninja easily because they were well trained, I'd argue had better melee weapons and had black powder weapons like grenades, cannons and an assortment of early firearms. I respect ninjas and thier skills, but in this case they are literally be bringing a knife to a gun fight.
  17. In my experience you can't trust anyone, not even family. At the end of the day number 1 will always look after number 1.
  18. It's very competitive these days with high end materials like Hardox, Kevlar and bullet proof composite pretty much being requirements if you want to be competitive. I'm curious though, what kind of bot did you design? A spinner, flipper, axebot?
  19. I agree, this is complete crap and it should not be getting a free pass just because "Kojima". It's like that "True Ending" DLC that Capcom did with Azura's Wrath years ago. If they just marketed it as additional content it would be fine but no. Instead they make the original playerbase feel like they've been cheated.
  20. Horizon Forbidden West and A Plauge Tale Requiem. I would say Starfield but to be honest I still feel like I know almost nothing about it and I'm very concerned that it's still using the dated as all hell Creation engine. I'm also worried that it night be a Microsoft Store exclusive release on PC which will make the modding that we are used to seeing in Skyrim and Fallout 4 considerably more difficult.
  21. Been watching S.W.A.T lately. It's a good action/drama but if you're watching from the start you need to have a little patience with it. For the first season character development is minimal at best so for the first half you will feel like you barely know any of the characters. It gets much better from season 2 when you get more personal stories.
  22. Neither, at least not the snacks that they sell at the confectionery stand in theatre. The prices are extortionate and your usually done with them before the trailers. I eat before I go or bring in something.
  23. I've heard you can get about £30000 for a kidney... I'd consider it, not gonna lie. I mean none of my possessions are worth dick! EDIT: Now I'm starting to wonder I'd get for my dick... I need to stop thinking.
