Woohoo, official off-topic thread!

Pirates are European. But no, the testing is terribly flawed.

How so?

Let me give the example of the knight, they never factored in his sheild, or the mail under his plate. The only thing that got through the knight's armour at range, was one tiny piece of shrapnel, which snuck between the plates by pure luck. Had they factored in his mail, the knight would have been totally unhurt. Factor in the sheild and it's freakin' spite. They never even tested or factored in the sheild. /sigh

The pirate being unarmoured was totally doomed if the knight got close, and the xbow won it for him at range.. /blargh

Well, isn't the whole point that they can't factor in all items? That's why they choose a set number, and base the fight on that equipment. If they redid the fight and factored in the mail and shield, I'm sure things would be quite different.

I do see your point, though.

They gave the knight a sheild, they just never tested it or factored it in at all, and the layer of mail counts as part of his armour, which took up a slot for his weapons.

Ah. Lamesauce, then. Too bad, I was kind of enjoying the series.

The chest plate they used was iron, too, lol. Not steel, and the only puirate weapon to pierce it was the blunderbuss, on a pre-abused chest piece. [they only had one, made of iron....]

Failure. Did I mention that's a one shot gun that misfires half the time? <_<

I'm sure they were trying to look at best case scenarios...>.>

I guess I left out that all of the knights weapons were one shot kills, and that the cross bow was more accurate and deadly than any of the pirate's weapons, with better range? Or that after the pirate shot once, the range on a pistol and blunderbuss are both so poor that the kngihts' already in his face with a sword, and the pirate literally cannot get through the armour with his own sword, yet in terms of comparing their swords, the show said that the pirate and knight were equal? WHAT? a cutlass vs plate = LOLOLOL

Hey uh Moderators? How was my thread "This is responsible for the Red Ring of Death?" against the rules? It's game related.

Because for starters, anything relating to the current consoles goes in the Console Thread that's pinned at the top of the forum.

Secondly, random speculation with absolutely no evidence to back it up isn't exactly something discussable. This forum isn't your personal blog.

Oh, and GK and I will both be away for the next few days. Behave yourselves, children.

Yup. We'll see you guys when we get back. Vets, keep the new guys in line, and please try not to cause too much trouble, okay?

Just as long as we don't get a baby sitter everything will be fine 😂

Oh, don't worry, I'm probably going to sic Rex on you guys.

haermm

so they gone?

GK is. He had to catch a flight at 8:20.

I'm not leaving for another three hours as it's only a 30 minute drive from my house 😛

So, what's the occasion? Is it some kind of convention?

Anime convention, yeah 😛 I'm leaving...very shortly. As in, within the next half hour.
