The Tanks in this game have inspired me

That is not proof, I do not see a link... I do not see anything except random ranting of a forum member...

Atleast try to give some links, that support it half way; even a small robotic prototype 1 foot tall would give some credibility to your entire claim...

Example (Bad):

ZOmg This crazy dude built a thing that makes u invisble, so you can leik sneak into places n shit... Sorry I forgot all links since I sawit leik 2 years ago...

Example (Good):

There is some crazy asian dude, that made a cloak that has LED lights and tiny cameras spread over the entire surface, so the cameras on the back send the information to the LED lights in the front, so it looks like you are sort of transparent; It is far from perfect, but it is quite possibly a start to legitimate cloaking technology...

Here are some links:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_camouflage
http://projects.star.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/projects/MEDIA/xv/oc.html




I saw that article rougly 2 years ago, and after a quick google on Cloaking, I stumbled across that same article again; and then some...

Sure there is a wiki article in there, but it shows real life examples of it that already have been made; giving me more credebility. Then a second link showing exactly what I was talking about, solidifying my claim...

 

I couldn't find the one I saw, but I finally found something. Its a prettier version of that mech, actually made by a Japanese company. Currently they can't give it real ammo, just shoots Styrofoam balls (probably illegal, but if I'm wrong tell me).

Alright better; that seems pretty cool, but I swear to god, some of those were CG...

That thing sure does wooble alot ;; Feels like you can kick it and it will tip over...

Now that we all have learned proper forum procedures, lets let this thread die :D

 

I'm going to be on topic for once. Here's an idea for a mech, light on the top but it leaves you totally uncovered, it's more built for speed, too (Scout mech).

 

Is that one of those new Anarchy Online mechs?

 

It is.

 

Indeed, it is. I play that game, but It's not worth the money for a mech, or anything for that matter. I'll be a froob for life.

 

I have Notum Wars (It's in the free pack now, so I'm not paying for it), Shadowlands, Alien Invasion and Lost Eden. It's worth $14.99 every month.

 

Well, I'm 100% free and my character sucks. My weapons suck, my armor sucks, my items suck, my nanos suck, and well, I just suck :D

 

hmmmm can I have your liver then?

 

AW FUCK YEAH!!!! l0l0l0l0l0l0l0l0lL0L0L0L0L0L0l0l0l0l0l0l0L!!!!

..........for some massive damage, though.

 

But doesn't his liver suck too?

 

No way! I filter alcohol like a machine!

 

Your spleen sucks, at least?

 

Fine, I'll give you spleen.

 

Lawl. I'm glad I didn't say head, or you'd give me head. :[

 

could always have been the other way around.

 

o_O

Monty Python and the Meaning of Life. -_-..

anyways the tanks have inspired me to say!
Tanks are lame, we need warhorses or Oliphaunts!

 

Man did this thread go to hell or did this thread go to hell

 

Yes...
