Firebreathing tank of doom and destruction

In WWII, the British had a "Crocodile" tank that was outfitted with a flamethrower.





I hope this was at least partial inspiration for Vector having fire abilities.

I want -- no I need this tank.

You should also get the duplex drive tank. That fabric around it? It's called a "skirt" and allows it to float in certain conditions. 8) The two tanks are totally besties.

Oh my god. I would take that one out onto the river every day. It'd be one of the best zombie apocalypse tents.

[identity profile] shinyget.livejournal.com 2010-04-14 05:21 pm (UTC)(link)
It'd make an awesome swamp raft. I bet the survivors in L4D wish they had something that stylish.

Drifting along through the bayou, crocodiles, zombies, crocozombies. Nothing would survive.

Well, except for you. Hopefully. Unless the tank gained sentience and wanted revenge for being used. Then you'd be screwed.

[identity profile] drownedcities.livejournal.com 2010-04-14 05:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Well sentient tanks and myself aside, nothing would survive.

I think I dreamed something about the apocalypse last night and zombie cats.

[identity profile] shinyget.livejournal.com 2010-04-14 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Dream needed tanks driven by zombie cats. ...That would be a kickass way for the world to go.

I have my tablet and SAI open. ART SUGGESTIONS GO.

Hitler's zombie cat comes back for REVENGE in a tiger tank. 8|

BECAUSE YOU ASKED FOR IT. And it's more entertaining than World Civ.

[identity profile] drownedcities.livejournal.com 2010-04-14 05:33 pm (UTC)(link)
When you typed World Civ I immediately thought of Sid Meyer. I suck.

[identity profile] shinyget.livejournal.com 2010-04-14 05:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I wish. That would be infinitely more exciting. My Jewish Germans do love their nukes.

[identity profile] drownedcities.livejournal.com 2010-04-14 05:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I fucking need that game like burning. Maybe I'll treat myself after I finish my motherfscking taxes.

[identity profile] shinyget.livejournal.com 2010-04-14 05:37 pm (UTC)(link)
The internet has all, dood.

[identity profile] drownedcities.livejournal.com 2010-04-14 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
The last time I tried doing that it wouldn't work. Sadly.

[identity profile] shinyget.livejournal.com 2010-04-14 05:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Weird. >: I can't remember where I got mine, I got it forever ago and it's just been living on my external.

[identity profile] drownedcities.livejournal.com 2010-04-14 05:41 pm (UTC)(link)
I can try it, but I think I'll just bike to the nearest GameStop and buy it. I kinda wanted to see a movie today anyway (THERE ARE SO MANY TO CHOOSE FROM)

[identity profile] shinyget.livejournal.com 2010-04-14 05:42 pm (UTC)(link)
You also might want to look into TS3. It has a kickass expansion coming out this summer, ffff.

[identity profile] drownedcities.livejournal.com 2010-04-14 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)
I actually *just* took it and World Adventures on my comp -- it was eating too much space and it wouldn't open the cheatbox. I'll wait until I have a better computer for it, but -- what's the new ep?

[identity profile] shinyget.livejournal.com 2010-04-14 05:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Really? That's... really weird. And new EP is Ambitions. It's going to open up a bunch of new jobs, including tattoo artist. ;D

[identity profile] shinyget.livejournal.com 2010-04-14 05:47 pm (UTC)(link)
You can also be a firefighter, stylist, ghost hunter, private eye, and some other shiz I can't remember. Servos are coming in this one, too. More info here, yo.

[identity profile] drownedcities.livejournal.com 2010-04-14 05:48 pm (UTC)(link)
THEY HAVE ICE SCULPTING. YOU CAN FUCKING ICE SCULPT.

AND I COULD MAKE A GHOST HUNTING TEAM.

ARRRRRRRRRGH WANT

[identity profile] shinyget.livejournal.com 2010-04-14 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
I KNOW, IT'S GOING TO BE SO AWESOME. MORE AWESOME THAN THE DAMN MUMMIES THEY PUT IN THE LAST EP.

[identity profile] drownedcities.livejournal.com 2010-04-14 05:50 pm (UTC)(link)
I PLAYED THE LAST EP FOR TWO SECONDS AND WAS BORED

I FUCKING WANT THIS

I could make myself and be a badass tattoo artist and paint and pretty much do what I do now. w;3;w

[identity profile] shinyget.livejournal.com 2010-04-14 06:01 pm (UTC)(link)
I played it for a while, but one sim was enough for that shiz. I like the basement thing, though.

Ah, Sims. Nice wish fulfillment. |D

Except it's going to soon be my reality -- I'm partially living the bohemian lifestyle already.

The school for doing it is pretty cheap ($6175) and if I find a punk house up here (basically, cram as many people as you can into the house, rent out the closets, etc, making rent uber cheap) I should be able to have enough to pay for it as a I go.

[identity profile] shinyget.livejournal.com 2010-04-14 06:23 pm (UTC)(link)
How long is tattoo school? And is that the cost for the entire schooling to get your license?

[identity profile] drownedcities.livejournal.com 2010-04-14 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Yup, entire schooling with books and fees. And it can range anywhere from 3 to 7 months depending on if you go full time or part time.

They train you on the theory as well as practical (you do something like fifty tattoos for free while training);some basic art things, sanitization, skin types/pigment/diseases, etc.

They also prep you for the state license exam, but I can't remember if you pay for that separately or not. I think separately.

[identity profile] shinyget.livejournal.com 2010-04-14 06:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Probably separately, but that is pretty awesome. From what I've heard, the licensing exam for that is mainly about blood borne pathogens, that sort of things. Shiz you'll get down easy, I'm sure.

Fifty tattoos is nice, too, to have done for a portfolio. Sounds like an awesome deal. I can't wait to hear your progress. :D

[identity profile] drownedcities.livejournal.com 2010-04-14 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
It'll be pretty bomb.

By the way, did I ever show you IGN's April Fool's Day video?

[identity profile] shinyget.livejournal.com 2010-04-15 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
Nope. I shall bookmark it to watch later.

*tank, not tent

I'm a liiiiittle hungover right now. (:

[identity profile] hyper-amychao.livejournal.com 2010-04-14 06:09 pm (UTC)(link)
OMG. That tank is awesome!

[identity profile] shinyget.livejournal.com 2010-04-14 06:10 pm (UTC)(link)
I know! Too bad it was only meant for short-term combat to help troops when they were most vulnerable. Makes me wonder how durable it actually is.

[identity profile] shichahn.livejournal.com 2010-04-15 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
I could blow up the whole goddamn world with that thing...

[identity profile] shinyget.livejournal.com 2010-04-15 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know about blow it up, but you could certainly set it on fire.
