Deathclaw used ass-grab. Admiral Stoic Rum fainted!

A piece of technology is not the person who uses it, but that said it's a stretch to appreciate even the mechanics of a gun from the fact that it's designed to kill people. Nazi tech is a touchy subject. Anyways, it's not much of a stretch of the imagination to think how the war might have been different if some of their crazy mad scientist projects had worked and gotten onto the battlefield, and their technological advances were enough to fear that they might create atomic bombs.

It's really hard to find what is real tech and fake tech when it comes to Nazi Germany since all the glorified stuff is most likely fake. (Looking at you Die Glocke) I was mainly referring to the stuff we know they had like the Sturmgewehr which was the first successful assault rifle. In fact, I think the term Assault Rifle was coined by none other than Adolf Hitler himself. (At least that's what my history teacher told me!)

I still have no idea the context behind that coin.

I could see an interesting relation to a totalitarian regime. Red Eye's cult of personality was pretty close. I get really uncomfortable w/r/t Nazi stuff but the Wasteland is prime ground for someone to write similar allegories.

Honestly I'd like to see a story about a community purging magic and unicorns from society, thinking they're the root of all the problems. Sure it's not really a new concept but could be neat. My brother and I played text adventures back in the day and the last Zork game (even though it wasn't a text adventure) was about the land after magic was declared illegal. Pretty neat.

I realize it doesn't have to be FoE but KKat's universe is just RIPE for fun stuff to write about that doesn't have to be a Hero's Tale.

[IncoherentOrange]

I suppose so, like perhaps a mayor's journal of the happenings within his town and the perils they face. No heroes, just ponies ecking out a meager existance in an inhospitable world. Outside of FoE, like, before the war? It's like Fallout's pre-war universe; quite different, and quite interesting.

I'm gonna appropriate that there tidbit for FOE:Armed Redemption.

I'm not sure I understand. Outside of FOE?

Unless you're Charlie Sheen. When all you are is hammered, everything looks like it needs to be nailed.

Did you remember to take your pants off first?

[IncoherentOrange]

Hitler named it 'storm rifle', Sturmgewehr. 'Sturm' also means 'assault', as in Sturmgeschutz (assault gun). StG 44/MP44 was the first of its type. It seems that 'assault' and 'storm' are synonyms, as they sometimes are in English in certain contexts.

This fandom is going to be the death of my sanity. I was playing ponies at work today during downtime. My editor was not keen to my taunts of "KISS THE LYRA KISS THE LYRA SHE THINKS YOU'RE THE CUTTTTTTEEEESTTT!"

Assimilation complete. Soon all the rest of you media types will fall to us, and we shall dominate the news. The end is neigh! (Excuse the pun.)

I got some ponies as swag from Hasbro for my postponed article (did a phone interview with someone up there), see one of my posts from yesterday.

My editor just called me an idiot (like usual). I told him he should be thankful I came into work late and was forced to take on writing about ponies instead of being on time and possibly choosing to write about sex clubs.

*thinks for a second about derailing thread into 40k quotes* eh, whatever,
I FEAR NO EVIL, FOR I AM FEAR INCARNATE!
MY SHIELD IS DISGUST, MY ARMOR IS CONTEMPT, MY SWORD IS HATERD, IN THE PRINCESS'S NAME LET NONE SURVIVE!
if we are going to derail this thread into 40k quotes let's at least make them ponified 40k quotes

I recall one Space Marine chapter having the battle cry of "From the darkness, light!". Well FROM THE CHAOS, HARMONY!

eh the problem was there were about 45 death claws packed into this bunker, 35% were alpha males another 35% were mothers the rest were a split between regular deathclaws and young death claws...

I figured it out tho.... that bunker is clean of death claws

I like where this topic is going. Unfortunately I don't like where I'm going...bed. Dammit.

Also fear denies friendship.
