Um...not that related...but it is a celebration of the silliness of HLP forum members. And at least some of this post will be on topic. So:
Yeah- theres no need for the overboard smilies like the "UT weapons smilies" and so on, they just have no place here.
Um...That was 2001. Nowadays...
That's all for that. Now...talking about stuff actually on this thread...
TOPIC 1: What does Admiral Bosch do in his spare time?
He smuggles kittens through the GTVA blockade of Polaris. Cute fuzzy little kittens.
No no no, you've got it wrong. He doesn't smuggle kittens, he
kills kittens
How about this for a "scene from a hat": What the Vasudans are really saying in game.
Don't people remember the Deus Ex Machina mission where Bosch gets ETAK to work but when it decifers the incoming Shivan transmissions it's all in leetspeak so they don't get anything? If you use F4 to go through everything the Shivans say, it's about how they are eager to finally meet other sentient species and they much prefer communicating by ETAK then by modulating pulses of plasma, because the latter method is very destructive. Then the NTF don't know what's happening so they don't respond. Then the Shivans are all "Why are you not replying? Please, keep talking! We want to learn about you!" and then "It appears we will have to resort to our earlier method of communicating by plasma, unfortunately..." and then all the Shivans open fire.
Also...
NEW TOPIC: Rejected ideas for GTVA superweapons.
The GTVA Spanish Inquistion. Because nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!
Don't you mean the GTVG (Galactic Terran-Vasudan Goober) Grammar Inquisition? Its main turret is said to be able to convert correctly between
it's and
its at over 4,300 replacements per minute.
P.S. Perhaps I should have said
It's main turret instead
