There's a modern brick phone out now that has a 3 month standby time and something like 20 hours of talk time. Simple and mostly battery.

What I like about larger phones as opposed to iphones and blackberry phones...

Is they actually seem designed around the ear.

I HATE trying to speak on those square phones...

Better a square in your pants than something banana-shaped. Bricks ain't designed to go in pockets.
As a woman, bite my luscious, spacious purse.

And tiny pockets that can't carry a compact mirror.

Us men have to carry around all this stuff in our pockets.  Some company need to make a purse for men.  Stick dragons or cars or beer or football players or half naked women on it or something on it and make it out of kevlar or thick aluminum.  And then don't call it a purse.  Make up a cool new name for it, like the superholdinator or something.

There we go, the world will be in balance.  I'm tired of having to fit all my crap into a tiny sleeve of pleather that fits in a pocket.

Wait this is the cata thread.   How did we get to Budweiser brand Super-Holdinator-Flame-Car-Pouches from cataclysm?

Cargo pants are great. As they are in Cata.

Yeah, cargo pants are pretty nice, and practical, though mind you, us Arabs get huge pockets when wearing traditional clothing. Drawback is you only get two, but I remember stuffing a half a liter water bottle and a Gamecube controller in one, and a game boy advance in another. Plus we have a chest pocket that's about the size of a back jean pocket with a bit more room.

You know, can I request being able to make robes in Cataclysm? They seem simple enough to tailor together.

Maybe copy and rename hoodies dresses but with the storage of cargo pants? How encumbering would robes be?

Run around in robes, find a wide brimmed hat of some kind, and a finger lazer bionic.

Run around shouting "Magic missile!" as you kill zombies.  Post apocalyptic LARP.

Sounds like a briefcase. Aluminum frame, leather cover... yep, that's a briefcase. Or you could pack it in a satchel, which is essentially a giant canvas purse that goes over your shoulder and is fairly unisex (albeit a bit hipster). Heck, depending on the environment you're trying to carry things in, a backpack probably wouldn't be out of place.

Tainted Tornado is HILARIOUS. It's such a strong depressant that two portions take you from 15 to ZERO Inteligence (and Dex and Per). Well, and it gives you mutations.

There should be steel reinforced briefcases that give both storage space, and make for a decent bashing weapon.

Weapons with storage capacity? I like it.

weapons with storage capacity sounds interesting.  Baseball bat that holds inside it potions, drinks or ball berrings

Unfortunately storage items only count when wearing them, a work-around would be storage items for specific things which can be interacted with, a current example in-game are boots which can hold knives, now boots aren't really storage items nor weapons but you can put knives in them, similarly you can have it so an item can be interacted with to put in another type of item and then that can be wielded with the item inside it so it technically counts as storage although you will have to interact with the storage item to get any items it contains.
