Nero

Sub!...way 6/10 Just seems kinda generic. Big bad mr. fighter over here :ohnoes:

Alright then fancy pants, you get a 0/10 just for that.

.... Ok... Then, the actual answer to that is: Use your magic teleporter device so you can just teleport them out of the middle of the sea. You can't just start changing the entire question to get an answer. You said 'your helicopter can only hold 2 people', therefore we assume that 2 is the max capacity. Not 3 after we remove the gear neccesarry for actually saving the people. That's one [developmentally delayed]ed riddle if that really is the answer. [/ramble]

You've described the common constituents found in almost any typical television show minus the outer space theme. In fact, even Ben Ten fits under that. :| Go into high school with a Star Wars shirt. Your definition of what is socially accepted will change tremendously. You seem to be confusing accepted with embraced. Besides, I'm done with high school. I wouldn't go back there for anything, least of all just to wear a t-shirt :P

Nerd's interests aren't accepted by society.

Watch a movie.

What on earth is cool about Star Wars? To the geeks it's cool. Perhaps I shouldn't have used the word 'cool'; accepted would've been a better choice.

Why the hell do you care about weaboos? To stay OT, though, geeks and nerds are totally different things. Geeks are somewhat cool, because there is a whole sub-culture of geekiness that's growing (think Star Wars, BSG, etc, etc). Nerds are an entirely different species. Nerds will never be cool, becuase there is nothing cool about being a nerd.

I'd call that a lucky call, he was very lucky that the man didn't send in a few men to be sure. I would assume that luck factors into every one of these stories. Audie Murphy? Damn he was lucky that burning M10 didn't explode with him in it. I'm sure the finnish sniper also got a few lucky shots off that saved his life, or any of the other people mentioned here had luck involved in that they didn't take a bullet before they started showing off how badass they were. No Luck as a rule is pretty stupid. [hide=Another thing on Chuko (also known as Zhuge for some reason)]Before the Battle of Red Cliffs, Zhuge Liang went to visit the Wu camp to assist Wu strategist Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu saw Zhuge Liang as a threat to Eastern Wu and was also jealous of Zhuge Liang's talent. Therefore, he assigned Zhuge Liang the task to make 100,000 arrows in ten days or face execution. Zhuge Liang, however, swore he would finish this seemingly impossible task in three days. He requested 20 large boats, each manned with many straw men and a few soldiers. Before dawn, Zhuge Liang ordered his soldiers to beat war drums and shout orders, to imitate the noise of an attack. Zhuge Liang sat with Lu Su inside one of the boats drinking wine. The Wei soldiers, unable to see in the fog, fired many volleys of arrows at the sound of the drums. The straw men were soon filled with arrows, and Zhuge Liang returned to Wu having fulfilled his promise. Hence, the Chinese expression "????" ("Straw boat borrows arrows") refers to the act of using someone's strength against him or her.[/hide]

I CAN FEEL YOU MOVING THE THING [wagon]

Am I the only one who doesn't really give a [cabbage]? I stopped looking forward to this game a decade ago.

[hide=Chuko]Chuko "Sleeping Dragon" Liang was a brilliant Chinese strategist and possessor of one of the top 10 awesomest nicknames in history. A chancellor of Shu Han during the third century, his cunning is widely so celebrated that in China his name is synonymous with intelligence and tactics, which is way better than General Tso, who only wound up with a Chinese restaurant dish named after him. Chuko was a master of the mind[bleep]. But he was still capable of making mistakes and it was his greatest miscalculation that required him to draw upon his greatest of mind[bleep] powers. According to historians, during the War of the Three Kingdoms, accompanied by a consort of just 100 soldiers and the rest of his army miles away, Chuko saw an opposing army with over 100,000 men marching towards him. The opposing general, Sima Yi, was a veteran who had fought Chuko in multiple battles. Familiar with the Sleeping Dragon's clever ways and, deciding to take no chances, he led the massive army to capture Chuko. Ordering his few men into hiding, Chuko commanded that the town gates be left wide open and, positioning himself atop the city wall, he proceeded to play the lute as the massive enemy army approached. Upon his arrival at the town gates, Sima Yi, who had fallen victim to many a Chuko-led ambush, halted his army and studied Chuko's calm manner as he ripped a solo on the chords. Convinced it was a trap he could not yet comprehend, Sima commanded a hasty retreat, more than a 100,000 soldiers pulling back from one man and his musical instrument. Chuko thus earned an entire wing in the [cabbage]ter's Hall of Fame.[/hide]

If I was the 1, I would put money on myself :P

Few things could help that: 1. Update your graphics card drivers. 2. Install the latest version of Direct x: http://www.gamesforwindows.com/en-US/AboutGFW/Pages/DirectX10.aspx 3. Start Mount & Blade, when the initial screen pops up, hit configure and set the render method to Direct X 7 (or Direct x 9 if you're already on 7). If those don't work let me know. 1257 Edition Sword of Damocles Hundred Years War Eagle and the Radiant Cross Also, if you wan't to try out mods for older versions of Mount & Blade, you can download the older versions here (since some of the mods haven't been ported over to 1.011).

I prefer bomb squad for rushing, claymores for camping. I hardly ever use Frag x 3.

Mount & Blade :thumbup:

Yea it takes a while to get used to in the beginning, but once you do you'll realize how awesome the controls are. Like...gallop beside someone, aim the mouse down, start your swing, and release just at the right moment. Feels sooo good when you slice their face off hehe. Don't forget about the gazillion steppe bandits running around the Khergit lands! :wall:

Hopefully one day developers will realize that sacrificing fun for realism is almost always a bad idea. Still, cheats you say? I didn't know there were cheats. Havoc shall ensue the day of the next deal. The problem with cheats is they take the fun out of the game. And besides, if you're starting over each battle you lose, you're also losing your equipment, experience, companions, and their experience. Just don't fight battles you don't think you can win.

Pfft. Call that the BBC? :P But seriously, you guys really need to get better TV. And I'm looking at you as well, Canada. :evil: take off eh, hoser. Your TV sucks as well.

Taken from a guy's post on Reddit since he said exactly what I was thinking: I wouldn't want to see it because I know how Fox News is going to play it up. They'll have him lying on a stretcher or table with a big grin on his face while some uniformed turd pours a bucket of water on his head, and they'll all have a good laugh about how anyone could -ever- consider it torture. The whole thing is meant to belittle the potential investigation and prosecution of officials who condoned and performed the torture in the first place, and provide ammunition to the maniacal "teabaggers" who think the ends justify the means

lol Norton...

I have a cane. It's a magnificently crafted piece of wood, perfectly fitting to my height and openly flaunting of the superb craftmanship that was required to make it. Mostly I just use it to poke people on the street with though.
