    I avoid locales with a high probability of mouth-punching activity. That is my policy, and it's served me well.


    But I'm still impressed how the punch managed to connect on the cheek, break off a few teeth, bloody the nose, AND give him a black eye all in one swing. If it was a series of pummelings, perhaps, but we only get to see the one here.

    It's like in the Dragonball mangas, you perceive one punch, but he landed a dozen

    the nose will bloody at the drop of a hat. The eye will blacken pretty easily too.

    It looks like he punched him on the cheek bone which would definitely give you a black eye. Depending on the position of his jaw it could easily knock a tooth or two out.
    Not to mention breaking the cheekbone or eyesocket or both. Your cranium is very strong, but the bones in your face, not so much.

    don't let video games or movies fool you, a single punch to the face can seriously fuck you up. Especially if the puncher is experienced and the punchee is not expecting it.

  • #pipe#pipe Cocky Stride, Musky odours Pope of Chili TownRegistered User regular
    I've been punched in the face once. By a drunk 16 year old with no wind up at all.

    it split open the inside of my cheek, bloodied my nose and cracked a tooth which later needed to be pulled.

    And yes I got a black eye after a few hours.

    Wouldn't open-carrying prevent more initial punches than concealed carrying?

  • godmodegodmode Registered User regular
    True...but less places allow open carrying.

    So the best strategy would be wait until you get into a vocal confrontation, then be like "Ah, ah, ah!" and open your coat to reveal your pistol.

    This strategy depends entirely on location.

    In some regions, if you offer a glimpse of your firearm that's like saying "Guns are now an option. Feel free to escalate this confrontation at your leisure."

    This is how law-abiding, upstanding citizens find themselves shot in the back while walking to their car from the club.

    @#pipe: One movie that got it right is The Godfather. When the cop punches Michael Corleone in the face in the beginning of the movie and it busts his whole shit. I mean, the entire left side of his face is broken.

    I don't really like MMA because of the crowd it draws but I often watch clips of it in awe of the straight on face punches these guys can take without showing much damage (at least right away). I mean, do those tiny little gloves really deaden the hits that much? You'd think there would be teeth flying everywhichway... i'unno...

    I've always wanted to earn a rad black eye. Walk around all badass and stuff.

    Unfortunately, people would just assume that I'm a broken, scared women who's trying to cover for her boyfriend when I try to insist that I got in a bar brawl.

    Sir or madam, the men and woman competing in professional MMA wear protective gum shields and have trained themselves to react appropriately when hit. The gloves prevent cuts on the recipient's face and protects the puncher's hand from breaking (this also the main function of the heavier gloves in boxing).

    Also, MMA crowds are also good people. Like me.

    Also also, this comic is kinda not that funny. Oh well, can't like 'em all.

    Fuck off and die.

    I don't get this one.

    Though I did enjoy the face punching.

    If that woman's cleavedge made one more person pick the game up off the shelf, it was a net positive for microprose. And to be blunt, if taking her top off could have increased sales enough to get a sequel, I'd endorse it 100000% because I like playing great games.

    you aren't really living if you don't get punched in the mouth three, maybe four times a day

    Falsch!

    Call of Duty XP is some sort of an event where a Call of Duty map has been built real scale so as to function as a paint ball course. Also other things take place there.

    Edit: The two dumb asses are either under real terrorist attack or attending the event.

    There's a local paintball place near me that used to advertise with the tagline "This ain't no video game." I always thought that was precisely the wrong sort of marketing for their target demographic.

    yeah, paintball used to make most of its money off of a more sport-style called speedball:
    Spoiler:
    enclosed field, a few inflatable barriers to protect yourself, and the markers and equipment tend don't really look like any real-world weapons

    Mesnapshooting.jpg


    since Call of Duty became popular, there's been a huge shift in the player base towards scenario paintball, also called woodsball

    scenario games look more like this

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bETFYTkqI1g&feature=related

    ( I believe the interior of the castle is based on a CoD multiplayer map as well)

    and the equipment tends to look much more like real world weaponry (or at least like CoD real world weaponry)

    most of these are just cosmetic changes, but these guns are magazine fed, rather than using a hopper (a big tube of paintballs) which make them compatible with these:

    super expensive, but fly about three times further than a regular paintball and in a much straighter line
