modified that post.. and you don't need to have a signal to have the circuit short out, just a circuit breaker.

I thought space magic was involved in the construction of the batteries and rocket fuel due to the ridiculous energy densities, even if they aren't powered by it innately.

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?

A few episodes is what I was gonna do. Since I have to upload these all to my google drive to actually play them, uploading a few episodes is much faster then the whole series.

My guess is cold-fusion nuclear microreactors for the diddly generators with huge power. Batteries are probably quantum pseudospacience, and rocket pods are probably something like mini-short-lived reactors, mini plasma engines, or just a high energy density spesscompound.

Darkest Hour is a fun game.

Despite it being obvious, I'll admit that I really don't know much about this, but wouldn't a circuit breaker require the power going through it to change significantly from the norm?  The graspers are already supposed to be supplying the maximum amount of power they can, so I'd think the power difference wouldn't be very apparent when it starts discharging into your arm.

As far as the batteries and fuel, they can obtain such high energy densities because a rare compound dubbed "D-TAITH" was added to them.  It has a vast number of uses, and basically completely revolutionized every area of science.

Why has no one mentioned the MegaMan cartoon show?

OH OH, I WANNA SEE THAT! IT COULD GIVE ME IDEAS!

Current yes, power, no.  What happens is that when it shorts out, it'll be tracing a path to ground with much lower resistance than your rifle, which results in a large spike in current.  This, in itself, will trip the breaker, with no additional signal required.

Voted.  Also, Scanners.

[sambojin]

Ooh. Didn't see Scanners on the list.

Should be good. I'm +10GMT, so I'll be it all after work on Saturday.

[Tavik Toth]

Actually, who here has seen Psycho Pass.

[kj1225]

Not I. I remember hearing something about it but can't remember why.

[sambojin]

Nope, not yet.

I think I've finally reached the height of nerddom though.



"So what did you do with your weekend?"

"Sat around watching b-grade films and cartoons on my phone with people I play d&d with."

"What? Do you know them?"

"No. Why would I want to do that?"

[Devastator]

Phone?  Pft, poseur.  I'll go for the high score and get my CRT monitor out, and chatting with my mechanical keyboard.
