Not really. The weapon + shield combination was very popular because it worked.MrEnigami said:
Being the person alive at the end of the fight...cool.
Also, in regards to dinosaurs...lots of things don't show up on fossils. For all we know, dinosaurs where chameleonic, or bright pink to warn predators of the hallucinogenic poison they had in their tentacles. none of that would show up in the fossil record.
Not to mention giant robots of any flavour. I hear chicks dig them. Also, we've forgotten the other branches of marine reptiles from the prehistoric age! Plesiosaurs and the extensively badass Pliosaurs (home to the biggest animal that eats other animals ever), all hail!
How is a giant murder lizard that is also poisonous [n]not[/n] cool?thaluikhain said:
OT: This. Simply this.
You're welcome.
Aha! I knew someone would fall into this trap.manic_depressive13 said:Yeah, too bad they used to look more like this.MrEnigami said:And yes, raptors are awesome.
Raptors may not be very cool by modern standards, but Jurassic Park Raptors were based of the Deinonychus, which was the size of the Raptors in JP, ergo, Deinonychus is cool and the creatures based off it are also cool.

Can I have that?Sacman said:
It has some Emg HZ Passive pickups just so you know the original ones came with it when I bought it used but I like these more... though they don't give me as much feedback as I would like... It's an Epiphone too... I can't afford a Gibson...<.<
Omar's is one of my favourite television characters. If I were a man, and he were real, he would be mine.benzooka said:

I don't know what it is, but it fucking rocks.
For me, there is a difference between awesome and cool. Pirates are awesome, Ninjas are cool. Sci-Fi is cool, Fantasy is awesome.
Magic seems to have the potential to fill either the cool or the awesome criteria for me, but generally lean towards awesome (fireballs are far more common than, say, waterbending-style magic). Undead skeletons seem to have the same, yet opposite effect, potential for either but usually end up being cool (i think it's numbers and type here. Smaller numbers of human skeletons are more prominent and cool, while legions of mixed skeleton types is scarce but tends to be awesome).
Interesting then, that someone (Derek Landy) decided to come up with an undead skeleton sorcerer detective as a main character for his books. Not only is he a skeleton sorcerer, but he is sarcastic, suave, sophisticated, shrewd intelligent and has a bloated ego. Along with that he is a practitioner of elemental magic, a master of several martial arts, carries a revolver at all times, and a sharp dresser. The fact that he is a brilliant detective (giving him a certain film-noire aura) adds to his coolness factor, and is the thing that tips him to be more cool than awesome, though he has enough of both to out-rank most other stuff/characters i know of in either category.
The left picture is official (on the cover of the first book), while the second is fanart (the URL gives credit to VanKid, so i will too)
EDIT:
This is fun! XD! We should do this kinda stuff (contribute with "what you like", instead of only "what your opinion is") more often!
Oh and yes, the original Calvin & Hobbes: T-rexes in F-16's!!!!!! Is still one of the awesomest things out there.

Dinosaurs that shoot laser beams when they roar. It's a game. Guess what it's about?
