Unskippable: Front Mission Evolved

[Xan Krieger]

I wish I could totally get my $60 back for this game. Kinda regret I bought it for PC too, can't trade it in

I spent $50, beat it in 4 hours.

I loved how they slipped MAD in there. A game that has that acronym has to be made of pure win.

Wanzer comes from contracting "wanderpanzer" -> wanderpanzers -> wanzers.

Walking tank would be a problem. walking tank -> walking tank - > wank.

I think you see the problem. Wanzers is just the lesser of two ridiculous, ridiculous evils.

Still not much of an excuse, you don't have to have it's name reference the panzer. Or you could try something like Bi-Panzer...? as in bipedal panzer. Yeah it's a bit akward but at least it doesn't sound ridiculous.

You could also try the star wars rout of AT-P All Terrain Panzer (AT-AT = All terrain Armored Transport for thous starwars fans who aren't complete nerds )

It's a MECH. Why not just call it a MECH?

MECH is probably trademarked. Due to the Mech Warrior series. It may also be semi-original, calling giant armored robots Mechs, but i'm not sure... I've heard of mechanized infantry before, simply referred to as mechs. But if Mech is atleast semi-origional then theres no reason to call the robots mechs. Not unless everyone has started doing that and the word has simply been accepted. I'm not sure that's actually happened.

Hey at least the name is original, if really stupid sounding. (they tried is pretty much all i got for them)

*edit* well if the intro to the wikipedia article means anything then it's probably not trademarked. So yeah, it probably would have been better to just call it a mech.

Huh, cheeziness and a couple of moments of oddity aside, the cutscene itself doesn't seem that bad...

 

[Darks63]

Wanzer a term you make up when your afraid to call them panzers.

I miss Spider-Man's bad puns...

A space escalator...

How would that work? Especially at a 45 Degree Angle. you'd have to have support for it (since we obviously dont have hover technology in this game) and jet propulsion would be to costly and pointless. How much of the world would you be covering as you go in your straight line?

I think they meant space elevators. Those are a real possibility and many countries are trying to develop one right now. The main problem seems to be creating a cable that is strong enough to resist the tension. But about the support thing, if you managed to take the end of the elevator and put it in geostationary orbit then it wouldn't need to hover, it would keep floating around the planet like our moon.

No no no. At the end, they said Space escalators are where its at.

EDIT:
I get the point of a space elevator, and thats a single shaft. all the support is under it.

A space escalator could work using the space elevator as support and running a couple of escalators around it in a spiral.

Snip

Wouldnt that largely defeat the purpose of the Space Elevator? Plus the resistance and time and affect on your body its going to have, since you're not in a controlled environment.

Oh yeah, I'm nit picking this one.

No problem with the picking of nits. Space-calator plausable? Yes. Practical? Umm no Silly? Of course, Unskipable is all about silly.

really funny guys (esp the aardvark part LOL)
this was so bad it was good
I mean...really

The Front Mission may have evolved, but the Code Names sure haven't!
Also: Space Escalators FTW!

Between this episode and your post... Well, I'll have a grin on my face for a few hours now XD

[sub]Seriously, "Wanzers"?[/sub]

 

[Hexenwolf]

The Wizaaaa-aa-a-aaa-aaard! (Damn you Idle Thumbs for making me this way).

Calling your walky robot things 'wanzers' instead of 'wankers' doesn't really even fix the problem. Now it's only (heavily) implied.

All I could think of when I saw this was TIIIIME WIIZZZAAAAAARD!

 

[RTR]

I bet you guys were sold at "wanzers"

The Emperor should've used lightning at some point in that clip

Wanzer comes from contracting "wanderpanzer" -> wanderpanzers -> wanzers.

Walking tank would be a problem. walking tank -> walking tank - > wank.

And I guess that would have made the pilots wankers then XD

Wanzer...Twozer...Threezer...Fourzer

Dylan would then be wanking off in his wank.

And better hope none of those space elevator cables get cut or sabotaged. I do not even want to think what devastation one of those things falling out of the sky would be... Humans squishy!

Snoop Doggy Dogg and Dr. Dre are at the Doorzers.


OT: I wish I had a humor chip installed in my electronics. It would make everyday life a little less boring. Also, "Escape!" had me LOLing hard.

But then people would get confused and think the game was about adenosine triphosphate.

Tell me "wanzer" is German or something. Please.

Hey, I think use that shampoo!
