Is this part of the American dream?

Or someone who has played too much Gears of War?

What is Gears of War but a reflection on the American Dream? Strong, musclebound men, carrying giant guns with chainsaws and armor that showcases their bulging muscles, all ready to save the world and possibly, if you're lucky and manly enough, offer to give you a high five and slap on the buttocks. Mmm, can't you imagine it? It sounds so delicious and the smell of a bodybuilder sweating while he's working hard...smells as good as some apple pie - and that's as american as it gets.

Everybody wants to ride on the Cole Train, baby!

No it is part of the Netherlands dream.

WTF?

The only thing missing are the really campy jokes about getting cooties from monster blood, over the top swearing and of course screaming whenever you revv that chainsaw and prepare to carve something up.

And I know I would ride the Cole Train!

However, I can see the US army getting a ton of those chainsaw implements, give them small gas powered engines and incorporate them into their first power armour prototypes.

A chainsaw that powered itself off of the suits electric power would have a lot more torque and wouldn't make as much noise.

now, here's the same moron just being more moronic.. damn hillbillies, someone needs make the chainsaw buck back and tear his jugular vein out..

and here we see the doofus doesn't even know how to use the pistol grip when shooting.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21TkxPMOQec&feature=related

Wow, that movie of that guy trying to get through the crappy door, he's just asking for a rebound into the face.

BrookM wrote:Is this part of the American dream?

Yes, yes it IS, because this guy did it himself, instead of paying 3x as much for another company to do it for him!

Did you actually play the game? There are no girls. It's an all boys' club. Girls have cooties.

Also the awesome protagonists of the game never teched up their own guns. They just point and shot. Fenix and Cole were too cool to service their own "guns", so they had guys like these do it for them. All for a low, low $300!

That's why God invented whisky.

If you give a hillbilly a gun it will shoot.
If you give a hillbilly a chainsaw it will cut.
If you give a hillbilly enough time it will create a tool that does both.

Overuse of the word "hillbilly" going on in this thread.

Would you prefer Redneck?

Powered armour would be strong enough that there would be no kick-back, and then you could have two of them one in each hand. That's a hillbilly's wet dream.

I thought a hillbilly's wet dream usually involved his sister or a cousin or three....

What are you cutting with a chainsaw though? The modern battlefield doesn't really place a high priority on felling trees.

I bet it adds +1 Attack in HtH

Another video of it in action:

Sons of the soil has a nice ring to it.

Wake me up when someone invents a gun that shoots chainsaws.

Perhaps you would be interested in my bears;



As soon as I found axe-wielding Dwarves to ride them, I start my takeover.

Now there's a bear who won't be afraid during the next zombie outbreak.

Don't you think that the orcs could have used a couple in the battle with the Ents in LotRs?

Actually this might be useful for opening doors, though it seems like a shaped charge would be even better.....

Rambo could've used a chainsaw bayonet when he was running around in the jungle. Sure, the badguys would've heard, but he's Rambo.

I take my video games very seriously. It's a serious business you know, worth billions of dollars.
