Terminally Incoherent

I’m filing this under random and wtf because… Well, see for yourself:

That dude with the big hair - what movie is that from? It looks really familiar, but I just can’t figure out where did I see it before.

This is totally random, but here:

I think Power Girl is suffering from some sort of boobsplosion syndrome, but other than that it’s an awesome wallpaper image. I’m not really up to speed on the DC multiverse lore but from what I remember Powergirl is Supergirl’s counterpart from the parallel dimension known as Earth-Two. Hmm….

I think this might be the one of the best running chase sequence I have seen on film:

This scene is apparently from Luc Besson’s movie District 13. I haven’t seen it, but after seeing this clip I’m planning to watch it now. Let’s hope the rest of it is as awesome as this scene.

Btw, the running style used in these stunts is a French discipline called Parkour. It’s the same sport as the one featured in that Russian Spiderman video that is making the rounds in the blogoshphere lately.

Over the holidays me and my brother were playing a lot of Dawn of War over the LAN. Its tons of fun even though I’m getting my ass royally kicked cause Ark has beat this game like 7 times by now, and is able to win skirmish battles with 8 computer enemies on hard almost every time.

I haven’t really played it much, and it is very different from the tabletop game (DOW is an RTS). I usually play Eldar because that’s what I play 40k. After being mercilessly demolished several times I decided to try other races and see how would it be to play Space Marines or Chaos. Ark picked Eldar, and holly shit!

In the tabletop game the Eldar Fire Prism tanks are overpriced and marginally useful. At least in the old Codex. I think their new value is less prohibitive, but still - I never really fielded them. But in DoW they kill! Or at least they do if fielded in large squadrons. What Ark did was to max out his vehicle cap on them, forgoing Wraithlords, Falcons and Vypers. I never really thought about that cause I always liked to have 3-4 of those large wraithbone constructs in the game.

A squadron of 6-8 Prisms is almost unstoppable though. I couldn’t believe how effective they were. Basic troops could barely scratch them, and because the prism area attack most units in combat were dispersed. Furthermore, it only took 2-3 combined salvos to total any SM tank/dreadnought I could throw at them. When supported by an infantry raid from a nearby cloaked Webgate a Prism squadron could take on anything.

I tried the same strategy in a skirmish game against the computer, and I managed to zoom around the map destroy 4 enemy bases with the same 6 prisms without taking any losses (other than the life bar of few vehicles being in yellow).

Which brings me back to the tabletop game. I’m now considering actually fielding a Prism in a game to see how it functions on the battlefield under the new rules…

Remember that South Park episode in which Mr. Garrison builds his IT machine? I think someone in real life had a similar idea:

I just found this amusing. With exception of the butt-plug and mouth operated thing the two really look similar. I wonder if this is the case of life imitating art or art imitating life…
