Ed, Edd, n Eddy.

Still probably my favorite cartoon of my late childhood (me and my friends assigned our classmates names from the show. I was double D! 

Ahem, if we wanna stick with the 'so bad it's good' vibe, we could try the supermario brothers show. Or maybe that zelda cartoon.

Oh, and we can watch the Sonic cartoon (the original) and the Kirby cartoon and Fighting Foodoms and Ultimate Muscle.

I wouldn't mind seeing The Centurions.

If nothing else, it'd give you an idea of where the MACS suit gets its roots from.

Back to movies for a moment, Dead Alive.

[Harry Baldman]

El Topo, maybe?

[Tavik Toth]

Kelly's Heroes?

[Beirus]

Just wait until we piss off PW and he puts it in endless Barney and Sesame Street.

Thats what I got in muh archive. Thats not including anime. And the stuff on my other harddrive because it's misbehaving. I'll compile a list of all the stuff being asked for here in a while and put it to a poll of what we watch.

Why would you detach the cable when you put the gun away?

Hmm.  Probably not surprising, but I didn't think about that one too hard.  My immediate thought is because the cable's attached to the wrist, but why would it be attached to the wrist?

The only really decent argument against it is the cable being cut, or grabbed and torn from the weapon.  Maybe keeping a small four-second battery inside the weapon, along with extra cables, could offset that?  That way, if your opponent gets in close and scores a lucky hit, you aren't entirely disarmed.

Also, it makes weapon switching slower, but generally that isn't done when two extra seconds would result in your death, so it's kinda moot.

Why not build a recharging holster for the weapon?  Then you can use an almost-standard weapon with battery, get effectively unlimited on-mission use, and you can then use like a .1 TPU generator (possibly built into the holster itself) rather than a four TPU one?

Rechargeable batteries cost extra, although if you made them standard, we might get away with them being free.  I'd still be against such a small genner, because you would have to wait forty seconds for even one second of lasrifle fire, but something like one or two TPU wouldn't be so bad in that example.  With one or two, running out of charge just means you have to duck into cover for a few seconds

Just seems odd to handwave away glove problems but not handwave away cable problems.

This is a very good point that I hadn't considered.  Thank you.

It also seems odd to make something that could cause problems should you get shot in the arm, which does happen, as opposed to shot in the equipment, which doesn't seem to.

The shocking graspers wouldn't fail to function unless both arm cables were destroyed, and that would likely require both arms being disabled or severed.  I don't think your lasrifle being incapable of fire is your largest problem at that point.

Plus, at least in close combat, enemies can and do grab at your equipment.  Hanging cables would be much worse for you in that situation than shock gloves.

For the damage thing, I was more thinking that instead of disabling the gloves, there might be issues resulting from your electrified arms getting severed.  Wouldn't be nice to get shocked for extra damage.

I also kinda assumed that the normal electrical batteries were rechargable all along.  Since they run on space magic, I could see them being either way.

Theres, well, also a lot of neat stuff that you can do once you have a cable.  You wouldn't be restricted to just a power line, for instance.. you could include a data line, which would be fun for all kinds of weapon attachments and mods.  And if you're worried about the cable getting in the way, you could run the cable inside the suit, with the plug in being a small contact patch at the hands.  Or have electrified gloves that plug into the cable, so you get your shock gloves, with alternate ones available with, say, a small contact patch on a piece of the hands, so you have powered weapons but no shock gloves.

Cables don't mean you can't have your shock gloves... and with a cable, you can have someone use the modified weapon without the special custom suit.

Question: in the case of shows, do we do the whole thing? Cause some of those are rather... Long. I'd propose either 5-10 best episodes (internet can help find lists) or only first season. Any thoughts?

[syvarris]

The gloves are continually sending a small signal back to the genner, through the cable.  if it's severed, the signal stops, and the power is cut to that arm.  So you could get a shock for a moment, but it will practically stop immediately.

...and, uh, normal batteries don't run on space magic.  Generally, they're non-rechargeable chemical batteries.  Most stuff that can be done with normal, non-physics-breaking things, are done without space magic.  It's generally cheaper, more effective, and way more volume efficient.
