Because I'm too lazy to edit my post, have this video: [video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oo3rTXPnLjI[/video] This is the full song from a Lincoln MKX commercial that was very popular some time ago. If you are not American, you may not have heard of this commercial.
[quote who="Oatesy03" reply="1584" id="3030166"]Different things elicit different reactions from different people. What do I get upset about? Little, I find. I don't cry, something which I find... odd, maybe even a little sad. I mean, I feel sadness, empathise with it, but when I get upset (which is rare, I'm quite a care-free person in that respect) I tend to get angry, which is a pain really, because if you break down and cry it's fine, but if you get angry you can lash out at t
[quote who="Oatesy03" reply="1581" id="3029988"] I would say don't do it. It's romantic in a sort of gothic way, but remember that in a gothic novel everybody spends a lot of time being unhappy.[/quote] ??? Well, I wouldn't know about goth romance. Very un-goth, myself. Now, Gothic , as in the architectural style, I rather have a fondness for (in part because GOTHIC CATHEDRAL SPACESHIPS). But you can't really write a Gothic novel.<

[quote who="morpheas768" reply="1574" id="3029881"]*Ahem* Xer07 and Mishayla *AHEEM*[/quote] Eh, different.

Plate armour went out of fashion due to the improvements in the field of firearms centuries ago. You wouldn't stand a chance against a modern firearm wearing even the best-made suit of armour.[/quote] You never know. Most of what I'd hope it would protect against is common pistol ammunition.

[quote who="morpheas768" reply="1566" id="3029346"]Yeah, then you'd be a walking tank...at the speed of a turtle.... [/quote] Actually no- plate armor, while heavy, didn't necessarily impede the mobility of the wearer. Such a misconception is mostly due to the much heavier armor that was used for jousting tournaments- and, while it could require assistance to mount the horse (a small step was indeed required, though no crane was needed as some people think) whilst in the armor

I don't think the police would be particularly pleased.[/quote] My doing of bad things to bad people is heavily circumstantial, generally being a case of "you try to hurt my friends/family/'those whom I love' I do extremely unpleasant things to you". [quote who="Oatesy03" reply="1564" id="3029241"]I like how you guys are all thinking this is so unique, when over in Olde Englande we wear plate armour to work.<
[quote who="morpheas768" reply="1561" id="3029107"]Well, first of all, there are no branded suits of armor anymore, as you can understand (not that there used to be, but you know what I mean), meaning that no company produces this stuff and sells them anywhere, so if you were to purchase something like this, you'd have to find some old school blacksmith who is willing to make you one for a fee/cost, so basically it would be a unique custom build from scratch made just for you.[/quote]
I've actually been pondering this, and similar, subject(s) quite a bit lately- but I have to wonder: Just how much would it cost to either purchase or commission a suit of armor, in the style of medieval plate (or perhaps a shirt of mail), in addition to a sword of appropriate size for myself- complete with specific engravings*. Either way, I now desire to have a shirt of mail that I could inconspicuously wear. By God it would be devilishly hot in summer (thankfully it is

I bet somebody watched the movie Aliens and saw the Colonial Marines and decided "Yeah mang, that's totally what the future soldier-mangs are gonna be like!" That person should have his wiener punched.

Torches don't help you at all, they just light you up like a neon "shoot between the flashlights" sign[/quote] Somewhat playing devil's advocate here, but have you considered that, rather than flashlights, the objects contain cameras or perhaps some kind of laser pointer?

An opportunity for a larger player-base? The series hasn't crashed? Awesome.
