I'm afraid of heights. I remember making it up to the top of a 15 foot rock climbing wall once and being terrified the whole time. And I was wearing a harness. XD Of course, then I almost dropped down on some random guy who was standing beneath me...that would've been awkward.

Stormtrooper armor?

Stormtrooper armor?

At my gym, the walls are 25 feet tall, though I have climbed walls a bit higher. Even though I've been climbing for a while, I also get a bit nervous sometimes when I'm at the top. I can't imagine ever free soloing...

As for Stormtrooper armor, I'm a fan. Looks cool, and from what I've gathered, it does have its benefits. Who knows, maybe we'll use similar armor in the future?

[Chozon1]

I don't understand the benefits. I mean...it still seems like the stormtroopers in the movies die after a single blaster shot, and in the Clone Wars cartoon, they only sometimes protect from vacuum, and even then it's only for a short time. O_o

That said...I do love the way it looks. XD

Jedi, Sith, or Unaffiliated force use?

Jedi, Sith, or Unaffiliated force use?

I didn't think there were any real benefits, until I stumbled upon this:

• The armor and body glove worn beneath were designed to disperse the energy of a blaster bolt and insulate the wearer, lessening injury
• It could partially deflect or disperse energy from low, medium, and high-energy blaster bolts. While the trooper may be left incapacitated, they would survive long enough to receive medical treatment.
• It deflected stun beams and provided general protection against explosions and shrapnel.
• Glancing blaster bolts were deflected or damage-reduced
• The armor included air filters and were fully sealed against chemical and biological attacks. Some were effective in vacuum conditions for limited times.
• The body glove worn beneath provided protection in hot or cold climates.

Still, I do agree that stromtroopers are terrible fighters and their amour didn't seem to help much.


If I had force abilities, I would probably use it unaffiliated. Between Jedi and Sith, I side the former, but given the choice, I'd like to just live a normal life. Having the force might make for some fun party tricks.

That's better than your skivvies, I guess...Commando armor is pretty awesome, too.

Going to pre-order The Force Awakens?

Enjoyed seeing the movie in theaters, but I don't have any plans to own a copy. I'd be happy re-watch it though.

[Chozon1]

We pre-ordered it...haven't watched it yet, though. We're waiting for the weekend.

Pulling a chest wall muscle?

[Kwan]

Can't speak from experience, but I'd imagine it hurts.

[Chozon1]

Lightsabers would be awesome in real life?

Lightsabers would be awesome in real life?

Agreed, if used responsibly. I hope there'd be training lightsabers as well for friendly duels.

[Chozon1]

I think I'd rather have a training saber than a real one. Less chance of slipping and losing a limb. XD

Fidgety and sleepy at the same time?

Kinda how I'm feeling right now after having fallen asleep on the couch and consuming any caffeine I could get my hands on.

[Chozon1]

Caffeine is the elixir of life. <3 I'd take it intravenously if such a thing was possible.

Misunderstood lyrics?

They can be hilarious. First one that comes to mind is the "classic" Fall Out Boy song: My song Knows What You Did in the Dark.

"Ham chicken ham ham chicken ham ooh banana”

[Chozon1]

But...but...that really sounds like what they're saying. XD I couldn't tell you otherwise.

Intestinal distress?
