I really detest the wet, plastic-wrap like look bloom gives to that ant. APA on the other hand looks way way better than previous power armor offerings. Not bulky enough but way better.

And you're not taking pictures because...? :naughty:

'cept it wasn't even created by fans.

Awesome collection of photographs from abandoned places in Japan. Unfortunately rather low res, but holding 84 separate galleries! Link: http://home.f01.itscom.net/spiral/research.html

It scared the bejesus out of me when I was a kid and I was still decidedly uneasy when I visited again as a teenager :)

Well the history is a bit sketchy. Apparently it was dug between 1717 and 1732 to provide water for the fortress. They failed to hit underground reservoirs but the well is being filled anyway (they don't know exactly how - filtering from the top of the fortress or siphoning action from the...

You think that's creepy water? That's not creepy water. I'll tell you what creepy water is. You walk through this gate... ...walk down a damp corridor... ...which opens up in a large room with this horror in the middle! Now the pics are pretty shit but we're talking about a...

Some more PA awesomesauce, this time on the surreal side: Link: http://englishrussia.com/index.php/2007/10/30/an-abandoned-horror/?f=2l Or how about some Battleship Island! Link: http://www.viceland.com/wp/2009/04/battleship-island-japans-rotting-metropolis/ Some really cool...

They couldn't handle coding ladders but thought they could pull off Radiant A.I.? This guy is such a joke.

True, but while there's a whole slew of tanto variations in historic Japanese manufacture we're talking primarily of the "americanized" tanto blades, correct? Those can mostly be traced back to the original Cold Steel model, which is today incarnated in the Master Tanto 13BN and most blade...

No. As a slashing weapon the tanto is pretty much the ultimate short blade configuration in my view. Used properly, it will slice through heavy clothing with ease thanks to the amount of force that can be exerted through the angle in the blade. It was primarily designed for armor piercing but...

Death in Venice by Thomas Mann that I picked second-hand on impulse. Rather shocked by the homoeroticism in the titular story (didn't know what the story was about.

As Sua already pointed out, serrations are there to be used for cutting through various materials, not flesh. On a primarily stabby weapon like a rifle with a mounted bayonet they're a good way to get your weapon stuck and disarm yourself. I know, I did say "as low as". Don't have any...

And they go for as low as $400? Holy shit!

Thanks bud but I'm not looking for anything specific, just posting interesting stuff as I come across it while surfing the web. :)

I've lived most of my life 3 tram stops away from where the assassination took place (I was born in Sarajevo). There used to be iron-cast steps set in the pavement at the place from which Gavrilo fired those shots but they've been removed now. The nearby bridge used to be named after him and...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balkans Nuff said. Anyways, I've been slobbering over this thing for some time now. However, no chance of getting one any time soon :(

I didn't want to create a brand new topic so I'm bumping this one. I came across some more lovely real-life post-apoc imagery, this time of a Georgian city Gagra. Enjoy! http://www.wired.com/rawfile/2010/07/gallery-russian-resort/

Hmm, we're already using Google apps for email so I may as well tinker with a test site.
