Populace of our Forum!

Rumsfield just resigned! The Democrats have taken the House! And Megatokyo is finally starting to pick up!
*calms down*
Well, people, I'm dead tired from waiting for the midterm results. I don't have much to say, but I wanted to drop by in case the forums exploded. Being that they are quite stable and have not reached critical mass yet, I'm gonna see yinz tomorrow!

Bwahahaha I am on the 100th page as well! I pwn!

Im working on a quick sketch for it.. but i dont know if ill get it done before we get off this page. I was gonna have 3.1 eating delicios cake with xp tied up struggling desperatly in the background.

I didnt just mean physical characteristics Sleepy, I also ment personality.  What they are known for and such so that someone that knows that aircraft can appriciate it!  Thats what attracted me to the OS tans, that they are based off what people view those systems as!  Me being troublesome, 3.1 lacking expresion, xps hunger, the reliableness of 2k!  The same thing applys to some of the other sucsesful tans out there, like in the aftganus-tan comic, they nailed Merican's personality on the head, with the whole richest kid on her block with a superhero obsession, has good intentions but often belives her form of justice is right for everyone.  That actually sums up the "personality" of america in the political arena pretty good.  Being a US servicman I had an appricaiation for the thought put into it.  But I am alos an aircraft nut and ive seen none of that deep thought put into any of these aircraft tans.  

I say again.. EARS! and tails!  WTF over?  Like a aircraft tan based on an A-10 would have to be a fighter, a tom girl that lights to get rough with they guys and can hold her own in a fight and packs one mean punch! Why?  Cus a-10's are low flying tank killing infantry supporters.  She wants to be in the fight with the guys,  A-10s are also known for being able to take UNGODLY amounts of damage and still fly, so I can imagin her looking kinda dirty with a bandaid here or there.  and its also known for that 20mm cannon and the fire power it carrys, that punch that could send even the toughest of guys flying!

but the current aircraft tans lack that.  they are just cute girls with aircraft bits slapped on them, some necko mimi and guns.  nothing gives them personality that draws you to them like the tans.  there is no substance!

anyhow.. more later.

3.1-tan eating cake while XP-tan is tied up? I'd definantely like to see that!  ;010  BTW, did you see the colored version of the 3.1-tan + 3.2-tan picture I drew? ^^

I also strongly agree with your opinion on Mecha Musume. It's just doesn't have the charm and substance the OS-tans have! The OS-tan artists, whethey they be from Futaba, Nijiura, these forums or another corner of the interwebs put a good amount of thought into making OS-tans but Mecha Musume can't compete with that. I've seen some good aircraft-tans but most military equipment-tans seem randomly put together.

HAHAHA! Those are really clever! I never looked at problems like that in that way before!

Too bad those tricks wouldn't be considered right answers if on a math test though. But theoretically they'd be right!

Update 3.7653:
Still can't get my laptop up for very long. Got it up to the log in screen before it collapsed...I suppose it's somewhat of an improvement...um...Been drawing more then just dragons...like a Lich, finished my anime avatar and now working on my human avatars of Helvox ' Fentel and Uthantion.

This weekend I'll upload them here, and try once again to use my laptop...and fail miserably in the process...

The good news? My sister can vaugely tell the OS-tan girls from other anime girls and sends me them...of course I can't open them atm...but she has sent me a few firefox pics...No I will under no circumstances let her join here...I have enough problems without my sister having actuall proof that I am a pervert by visiting this site as well...

>.> Hope all of you are doing well.

If she's cute, she's very welcome here and i'll even hide your activities

@Mistercat : i love your math problems  ;hi

[NewYinzer]

Hehe...great math problems!

I know what you mean. BTW, I also like Afganis-tan! In my perfect view of the world, all history teachers should be teaching using the comics!

In case you don't know, here is some more info:

Ah, so that's where the country -tans come from.... -v-

In any case, yeah, we're doing fine.  ^__^

Not sure if I'm getting ahead of myself, but today I took the REAL first step towards the Mac Manga translation, starting with the title page:

In other news, recently discovered a very brief "bear" sighting while I was on the main page.  
So I was right,... she IS still lurking around....  Hehe.... `v'

O__O'
That kid seems about ready to choke....
Or worse....  `v'

[MisterCat]

C-Chan, it's the gal on the left ââ,¬â€ whose laugh is extremely infectious ââ,¬â€ whom I appreciate for thinking the whole scenario is hilarious.  I know it's cruel to laugh at somebody who's having a hard time, such as the gal on the right, but I'm willing to degrade myself in this instance.

;012

Anyway....  I've been thinking about that really-weird sub-genre (or whatever it's called) which shows parts of aircraft sticking to anime girls; and it just seems so, erm, wrong.  It's like:  "Tee hee!  There was a war, isn't that cute?"

;013

What I'd much rather see are adaptations of anime girls for nose-art purposes.  Of course, in this age of political correctness they'd all have to be much more tame than the paintings created in a bygone (and more matter-of-fact) era:


Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress, "Mount'n Ride"






Consolidated B-24 Liberator, "Strawberry Bitch"


Boeing B-29 Superfortress, "Baby-San"

I can visualize MacOS-tan, depicted throwing one of her bombs, adorning the nose of a modern-day bomber aircraft.  Are any Photoshop geniuses up for the task?

:smoke:

=^..^=

P.S.:  Captain, do you know any aviation folks in the Marine Corps?  Does nose art still exist?  Might there be an anime freak on a flight line somewhere?

Hahaha, I wish I had had those answers in my mind when taking maths exams back in the sixth form, Neko-san; my favourite teacher would've ripped my head off for sure. Especially the first solution was awesome! XD

I got quite a scare on Wednesday night just before going to sleep; I fainted and hit my head against the floor. Got a small scab into the corner of my right eye, hurt my shoulder, elbow and hip slightly and my glasses flew under the bed. I also had a nasty headache yesterday still, and went to see the doctor. Fortunately it doesn't seem to be anything overly serious, in spite of giving me a proper fright. Headache's mostly gone by now, and shoulder's sore only when touched. So, that's my excuse for approving the gallery uploads only today. :|

edit: I got to be on the 100th page too, yay! ^o^

[CaptBrenden]

Cant... stop....laughing.... damn you mister cat!

nearly all the big players made it on teh 100th page! all we need it the bear to post and it will be compleat!  Tho you all talk about her like shes a shark o.o

Almost done with the delicios cake pic.  Im reservign this post for it so it dosent get bumped to the next page


RESERVED FOR DELICIOS CAKE!


and now I have mac and cheese *scarf scarf sweater!*


I know a few airwingers neko-san but i dont think ive seen any nose art recently...  the closes ive seen is giving names to vechicals and painting it on the side.  like one of our tanks is named porn star. hto tank on tank action! Dood i knew you could pick up chicks in a tank!

the fact that they are war machines is not why they arnt cute tho...  its how they are done.  Ive seen half a dozen differnt girls in uniform pics representing the branches that were to die for.  Even a few of cute anime girls wearing combat gear and medic bags or going on patrol. thats war related.. but its pulled off well

anyhow.. thats it for now, till an edit to post that pic.  till then

stay alert! cus the forum needs more lerts!

[NewYinzer]

Hehe...great nose art MisterCat! Aviation has had a very...colorful...history!

In other news, recently discovered a very brief "bear" sighting while I was on the main page.
So I was right,... she IS still lurking around.... Hehe.... `v'

O RLY?
