Sometimes to cross that bridge, there's no other choice but to behead the troll first. That's why so few bridges still have trolls today.

What do you mean there's no such thing as trolls?! Then how do you explain all the dead unicorns?

Learn?! You really think he's capable?

Remember, Moby Dick wasn't blameless. If he had just returned the leg he stole maybe he wouldn't have ended up so perforated, but his raison d'etre was triggering Ahab, and no amount of harpooning was going to dissuade him from trolling and no argument, no matter how unassailable and reasoned, could dissuade Ahab from his vendetta.

They got caught because unlike the Toretto gang, they didn't use any harpoons.

Fuck you, Philip. In the future you are DONE. I'm going rogue and joining the raiders. While you're checking your email to see if there's an ineffective faggot that'll blow you while your wife is auto-driving in her black cock mobile, I'll be riding alongside of you on a jet propelled tricycle with a carboard cut out of a society car, just like yours.

Except it's not, Philip. It's NOT just like yours, Philip. It's really a cyberpunk barbarian motorized tricycle with a series of harpoons and tazers that I send flying at your smart car, connected to barbed wire and chains, that I use to ensnare my prize. And you, Philip. You're my bitch. My little Tatum.

Show the people what happens to future idiots who forget how to drive. That's right, their wife doesn't care because she's already taken care of and your ass is probably used on a constant basis by dirty disease ridden scavs. After the raiders have had the ol ultra violence on ya, real savage like.

There was some good eia in there which gave me a good laugh. Just chase it down and grab on (dumb,dumb,dumb). That dude was lucky he didn't get harpooned. Three quarter or one inch emt (Electrical metallic tubing) can be extremely dangerous when being propelled through the air.

NNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

EDIT: Apparently it may have 'bounced', but it is sitting on the comet for now. Word is that a motor used to stop it from bouncing also failed, but somehow it landed anyway. I hope they manage to fire the harpoons before anything happens.

The harpoons didn't actually fire.

At around 8:45 a.m. PST, ESA said the lander’s harpoons did not fire, meaning that Philae is not anchored to the comet. Without being firmly attached to the ground, the worry is that the lander may fall off. ESA is now looking at options to refire the harpoons. -wired

Bloody harpoons...

I live in Texas (as 'Merica as 'Merica gets). There was a vet with a rascal that had a dead battery. Dude weighed around 400 pounds. I pushed that son of a gun half a mile to a grocery store where he could plug in. Meanwhile in Canada some Inuit was called a harpoon chucker.

Still waiting for the facts?, its been nothing more than arguments from authority & the gun deaths chart is pure bogus, I.E. bee stings annually kill more US citizens than terrorism thus terrorism is not as important as stopping people getting stung straw-man argument. furthermore, alcohol is regulated, cars are regulated even medical practitioners are licenced - if you went into surgery knowing that your doctor may be one of 40% of unregistered practitioners would you feel safe in that knowledge?.

Here is how easy it is to twist this logic to suit your claim: Since the war began in Iraq there has been 4488 U.S. causalities, comparing this to 11,000 annual gun death's in the U.S. PROVES that being at war is LESS DANGEROUS than merely being at home. This example is how correlation does not equal causation (& if this girl in the video is indeed a psychologist she should know this).

Maybe one aspect of the Mexican gun rate is also the fact that the U.S. with 'the 'Fast & Furious law' actually allowed the trafficing of guns from the United States into Mexico right into the hands of drug gangs in the hopes of stopping the cartels. (But did she mention that?).

What are the stats for mass homicides?, rather than suicides compared to other countries?. and in one breath the speaker said that a gun is the most effective way of killing yourself, and later that regardless of guns the person will find a way to kill themselves regardless of guns which she just stated were the most effective other than hanging or jumping from a height. (& Japan is a collectivist culture with a high population, where the individual is expected to look after their entire family & the government is expected to ensure public safety hence strict gun laws - so it may in fact be due to feelings of being ashamed culturally rather than seeking attention & fame as in individualistic cultures like America.

a gun is not a 'tool', it's a weapon - it has no other purpose than to kill. it's like saying a harpoon is a 'tool'.

No-one is saying its just about A) whether being allowed to own a gun B) or not. it's about as stated in the opening of this video as stated in the 2nd amendment 'A well REGULATED militia or marketplace of guns' and the American gun lobby is definitely not said anything about wanting to strengthen the gun-laws I.E. waiting times, background checks, sales at gun-shows etc.

This video is wrong in all these areas listed from start to finish it has been nothing but misrepresentation calling them facts.

I love both the game and his review.

I share his hate for Corso Riggs harpooning people up close when I am a ranged class, but thankfully the last patch has Corso remembering that I turned off his Harpoon ability and he has never used it since. Whew.

Not to spam it up, too much, but Penny Arcade nailed a one of the moments:

Tons wrong with the review this week.

I've played a Sith marauder to 50, and can honestly say most of what he's bitching about is either not true, or non-existent.

The multi-group chat options in instances (or quests, for that matter) start off by giving everyone a random roll, and the highest roll wins and gets to speak. However, everyone else in that roll now has a +(x) bonus to their next roll, so it's not always one person dominating the conversation.

The same roll system applies to the light/dark options, but if you choose the good option, and someone chooses the bad option, and they win, the quest storyline DOES go down the "Dark" side, but you don't get dark points. Quite contrary, actually, because since you chose the light side option, you still get light side points.

Every class has party members, up to 6. Corso Riggs (The guy with the harpoon) is the first one you get, and can be replaced by level 20 max. (haven't fully done the storyline on smugglar yet) But you also always have at least two romantic options later down the road, too.

PvP is also actually pretty balanced, not once have I really said "Wow, that class is overpowered." The only reason PvP was "Unbalanced" was because the system they had in place was a "bolster" system, so level 10's and level 50's could be in the same pvp match, and the level 10 would be bumped up to level 50 base stats. The problem though was that the gear level 50's had was rediculously good by comparison giving them an unfair advantage.. Which is why three patches ago they made level 50's get their own battleground, and it's now just 10-49.

And.. for the record.. your morale alignment really doesn't mean shit all. You unlock very few things by being either full light or full dark, and they have equivilent items to them that don't require you be either.

Basically, if you're going to spend a week gathering information on an MMo, then don't even freaking bother reviewing it.

This guy had a string of misdimeanors and a couple felonies by then. The Alaska State Troopers suggested I buy a pump shotgun and said, this guy has a history of assault, this guy has directly threatened you, if he steps on your property you do whatever you need.

So did you buy that shotty?


I bet he bought throwing knives and learned the skill. I bet deathcow can harpoon a baby seal with a pencil from 50 meters.

I can't help wondering if this guy's eyes are just rolling around in his head; sunglasses and all.

Daleks! Man the Harpoons!

It's true, we rock.

Kayaks (Qajaqs FYI) made of nothing but animal parts. Whale-bone tent frames. Harpoons with toggled spear-heads (still unmatched by any other civilization in the world). Buoys made from inflated seal-skins. Kamiks - the lightweight, durable, waterproof footwear which we still use today (much more comfortable than boots). Pots and pans at local hockey games. The igloo.

Currently I have my PC serving triple-purpose as a home computer, an improvised oven, and a sock-dryer (using the fan on the CPU).

Dag - did you get to go hunting while you were up there?

Ah, this is the thing from the "Fuck the harpoons, man the giant frikken' saw thing!" motivational poster.
