Walsingham Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 the priary characteristic of chainsaws is that they prefer to bounce off things than bite into them. It depends on how you angle the attack on the little "knives" on the chain. If you hone them too much forward, the chain will bite into anything and the chainsaw becomes very difficult to control (and dangerous). Too much backward and it will bounce off things, even the trees you are supposed to cut (makes work much harder). But if you hone them right, the chainsaw is neutral and easy to control. I learned this one painful, mosquito-filled summer in a northern forest. Didn't know that. Thanks. I'm staying away from chainsaws and automatic pistols. Both of which I regard as 'labour saving devices' which are more dangerous than any amount of labour they save. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.

Random trivia of the day: The Finnish supreme court has held that operating a chainsaw while drunk is automatic gross negligence. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that?

Orogun01 Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 This is the saddest thread to ever have existed on these boards, in all the years... I don't know weather I should be proud of your guys's ability to bond in such ways, or fearful of the obvious homoerotic gush that is taking place. I'm cursed with an uber "male" brain. I must squish everything even remotely pink. I can't help it. *squish* Katee Sackoff is about as Manly as I can go... This is a fine picture... And the award for most insecure post of the the year goes to..... I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.

EDIT: Unless you're bi, obviously. The opposite of which is I suppose being not at all sexy. Edited February 18, 2011 by Walsingham "It wasn't lies.

Hurlshort Posted February 18, 2011 Author Posted February 18, 2011 I was going to address Nightshape, but I think Orogun summed it about as perfectly as you can. I enjoy watching Christian Bale act, but he is part of a group of actors like Mel Gibson that I just don't think I would like on a personal level. That's why a guy like Bruce Campbell has so much appeal, he has done some great stuff and he seems like he'd be a good guy to have a few beers with.
Nepenthe Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 Now that Nightshape got all awkward, I'll have to post some too, I guess. Michael Vartan Sam Witwer Both manage to come off as genuinely nice guys with none of the arrogance some people on the verge of "really making it" tend to project. That's a lot of points in my book. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions

HoonDing Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 I don't understand why he hasn't yet been posted, but... Best-looking game developer of all time. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Monte Carlo Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 Despite my respect for MCA I cannot, in all good conscience, admit to a man-crush on him. Although if he's ever in London the beers are on me, does that count?
Hurlshort Posted February 19, 2011 Author Posted February 19, 2011 I like video games and all, but I don't really get the developer love.
Nihilus5078 Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 (edited) Sam Witwer He really does look like Galen Marek. And yeah, he is good looking. Edited February 19, 2011 by Nihilus5078
Guest The Architect Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 (edited) I don't think any of the guys on the last two and a half pages (from Nihilus onwards) are good looking. In fact I think some of them are ugly ****ers. Goes to show how relative physical attractiveness is. Nevertheless, it's time to set things right: Harrison Ford. He deserves to be on here just for playing Han Solo, Indiana Jones and Rick Deckard. And Clint Eastwood. Looked cool both with and without the facial hair, and still looks good to this day.

Calax Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 there was that tape of him going ape**** on a sound man. Director of photography, who apparently was a bit of an ass himself. They kissed and made up, Bale made a public apology and his career doesn't seem to be any worse for it. Wasn't that also partially triggered by the Photography guy having disrupted the set all to hell? <3 Although I think I mentioned him before. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
