I guarantee you, the only reason that student isn't a pile of shattered bone in a skin sack is that the master is reining in his Chi.

The thing that blows my mind about these is that the magic karate guys have actually convinced themselves that they're for real. I know people can delude themselves, but it still surprises me. How can you now know you're full of poo poo? How can you possibly believe you're beating people up with invisible force? Don't you watch your own videos and see how stupid it looks?

There's one from Discovery or something where some Filipino force-field master practically removes his own arm chopping it with a machete, because he thought the machete would just bounce off his magic skin.

I ran into this one a few days ago, and watched it like six times. I couldn't stop chuckling at fat dad's, "Can you believe this poo poo," reaction. Security doof threw the world's most ineffective punch, got his rear end kicked on video, and lost his job on top of it all.

Yeah he did have that look up until the rear choke.

That poo poo can kill you pretty quickly, fight for your life if someone ever does that to you.

Get bashed, platonist!

Some of my favorite short films are made by a company called Red Giant. They are a company that makes filmmaking software and classes, and occasionally, they will produce short films to show off what their stuff can do.



The best one they've done, in my opinion, is one called Tempo. It's about a couple of scientists who create what they call the Tempo Device.



The device alters the speed of an object. Whether the object's speed is increased or decreased, the process does not lower the object's momentum. If anything, it imparts more.



The device's effect is lethal for living things, although the scientists are working on a modification that will eliminate that flaw at the cost of recharge time between shots.



When they try to get funding for further research, things get a little out of hand.

There should be a Yoel Romero league, like that sport where they tie two dudes together, and let them punch and kick the gently caress out of each other while they arm wrestle. In Yoel League, contestants would have their ankles tied to tree branches and pulled apart like that scene in Bloodsport while they bare-knuckle pound on each other's eggs and solve Sudoku puzzles.

Well, if you describe your interests, maybe I can find something that’s more to your liking, and make gifs from it? My skillset is very limited. It’s that or MS paint.

It also had a horrific design flaw where it wouldn't hold the cartridge in place securely enough. If you accidentally pushed the docked cartridge forward while the console was on, it would lose contact, soft resetting the game, and potentially surging the cartridge. Kiss your save data goodbye.

I think I had read that American consumers were still wary of top-loader systems after the market got flooded in the 80s, and to some extent consoles in general, so went out of their way to make it look as little like a toy for kids as possible. Like, even the sliding switches rather than traditional buttons were supposed to trick American consumers in some way or something. I think this was also why the NES wasn't a top-loader at all in western markets.

This actually makes a lot of sense and I forget that the NES really was a bit of a rising phoenix for the console industry.

At least consoles back then could survive being thrown out the window because yeesh.
