Re: General Fan Fiction Discussion

I've used both male and female protagonists in my writing, and what shadowcell said is mostly true. Gender has little to do with how one faces actual combat. What would matter more with regards to gender would be out of combat. Every person deals with stresses differently, what changes with gender i...

Re: General Fan Fiction Discussion

Well, with the right writer and technique could pull it off. As for how to go about doing it... You would have to cut out some things, or at least adapt them. In a super robot show, because it's at most half an hour long, we tend to not question the imposable things, “How can that sword cut through ...

Re: General Fan Fiction Discussion

One of the major themes I use when writing anything with genetic manipulation is that DNA does not make you who you are, it gives you your starting point but everything after birth is unknown. Experiences, choices and influences are what ultimately determine who you are. It's because of this that I ...

Re: Is there a Gundam series that is "your" Gundam?

I would have to say 0083 Stardust Memory is what I identify with. Anavel Gato specifically. I think he's actually the protagonist. One because he's way more awesome than Kou, and two because he achieves pretty much all of his objectives. Steals the Nuclear Warhead equipped Gundam, uses said warhead ...

Re: Nuclear reactors exploding in shows?

Heretic, by your logic we could have fusion reactors next year if we wanted to. While technology advances during war it does not take magical leaps forward. Nuclear fusion and fission are to totally different processes and understanding one does not bring the other closer to prefection. I'm just go...

Re: The Mecha Musume discussion thread

You made the tomcat elements much more prominent, I like. You have the sweeping wing, twin tail fin, intakes and hard points. Your work is tempting me to try making a Strike Witch style design myself. I'm thinking either the Avro Arrow or the CF 18 Hornet I understand the competitive approach to dra...

Re: Nuclear reactors exploding in shows?

You kind of just proved my point. Three and a half months, if the earth government got things under control in only three and a half months, don't you think they would have turned their attention to more pressing issues than developing five untested new weapons? Being able to produce large scale pow...

Re: Nuclear reactors exploding in shows?

Defenses also requires power. You can't defend your bases, cities and other strategic locations from a modern invader without power. Would any military commander turn down a scientist (even an evil looking one) who says something like “if you fund this fusion reactor project, your base will have eno...

Re: Nuclear reactors exploding in shows?

A loss of containment, by either a disruption of the magnetic fields or in the case of UC Gundam, more particles being introduced by way of beam rifle, caused that fusion reaction to explode much like a smaller version of the bomb. A loss of containment in a fusion reactor would just cause the plas...

Re: The Mecha Musume discussion thread

*EDIT* Also, sorry for the necromancy I don't think this really counts as necromancy since discussion threads in the art section really don't get that much activity and drift down quite a bit between posts. Also, contributing something to discuss in the topic doesn't necromancy make. I really haven...

Re: The Legend of the Galactic Heroes Thread

Ah LotGH, I quite enjoyed what I have seen, and I really should take the time to watch it again and this time reach the ending. The fact that the social/political ideas expressed in the anime cause such in depth debate, shows that the writers did a really good job of presenting them. The inherent fl...

Re: 10 August 2010: Britannia invades Japan

Ironic that the Britannia in the CG world is technically the United States in geography. Except that in the alternative history, the Empire never lost/relinquished it's colonies. No American revolution, no United States. Also all the Commonwealth nations like Canada and Australia remain part of the...

Re: General Fan Fiction Discussion

Maybe we're getting hung up on the semantics. I agree that someone who has nothing wrong with them makes for an uninteresting character. But I have the personal view that it's not what's wrong with you that makes you unstable, but how you handle it. Some of us handle it poorly, I know I handled it p...

Re: General Fan Fiction Discussion

Perhaps happy isn't the right word. Well grounded perhaps? Less likely to become unstable over minor things when there are more pressing issues, like a war and such. That was one thing I found refreshing about Mars Daybreak. Most of the characters were fairly up beat or at least capable of finding h...

One thing I've noticed in this thread is that nobody has made any distinction between Nuclear and Thermal Nuclear explosions/reactors. AKA fusion A Hydrogen Bomb works on fusion, not fission. Hydrogen isotopes are placed within the plutonium sphere, so that when it detonates, the hydrogen momentaril...
