After spelunking in the archives of PA I ran across this, and I remember when this comic was released that I believed Tycho was raving mad (more than usual).

    Does anyone remember this phrase that we were using to see if we bumped into each other when Omegle or whatever that randomized chat room was?

    It was like

    (town, or maybe a time?)

    And then the response was OF COURSE!

    All of the gun combat from1:50 onwards looks horrible.

    The saber combat looks like they're kind of dancing at each other, to very little effect.

    It looks pretty, I'll give you that. But the thing with having to shoot some dude 40 times with a blaster is so not Star Wars. I understand it's a game mechanic with damage, but come on.

    In Star Wars, there are millions of blaster bolts going around and if you are hit by one and not a main character, your ass is dead.

    No, Star Wars epitomizes it. Why the fuck would you wear armor if one fucking laser bolt will kill you just the same as if you were buck naked?

    Hell, the armor didn't even stop primitive tiny bears from fucking your day up with rock and stick weapons.

    There's a level of intended imagination with MMOs. When you transfer from Warcraft RTS to Warcraft MMO persay you realize that everything has been scaled down, such as units, cities, etc. I use the rule of x10. When I am fighting 3 enemies, I see them as 30. When I need 10 items, I see them as 100. It's a preference, but I also see myself as 10 of my unit/class. When you reverse the scale back, it ads a level of escapism/depth.
