Whats your favorite kind of metal?

[DrDeath3191]

I like mercury, because liquid metal is cool to look at.

Unununium

I like tungsten, but only because I like to fantasize about having an MG42 with a tungsten barrel that doesn't overheat, firing thousands of rounds without taking my finger off the trigger.

Cold Steel... Welcome to the Escapist.

 

[The Infamous Scamola]

Well, I guess somebody had to take that lame joke to it's obvious progression.

Motorheadium and Mettallicam I guess.

Kind of metal, or actual metal? My favourite "kind" of metal would be a metal with a partially filled d-band (more correctly metals that have ionic species with a partially filled d-band), i.e. the transition metals.

I find I've been in chemistry far too long when I understood "partially filled d-sublevels." So I take it no love for zinc, cadmium, or mercury?

Personally, I like tungsten, silver, and iridium, considering one comes from space. I also like technetium for reasons unbeknownst to me.

Buckminsterfullerene. It's not a metal, but its freaking sweet.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

Any metal is good when it's clashing against other metal.

Clang.

 

[MajoraPersona]

Plumbum is a wonderful multipurpose metal. It can be used for plumbing, blocking radiation, poisoning someone, distracting Superman, and good ol' skull bashing.

 

[Ddgafd]

I like frankium. One drop of it in water and KABOOM!

 

[cocoadog]

skunkapeium... discovery is really running out of ideas for Bigfoot knockoffs

 

[Crescent Sun]

For religious reasons I like gold, lead, and various other metals.
But silver reigns, because if we have a zombie apocalypse It bypasses the undead's resist normal weapon ability. And if its enchanted with fire by a grand soul gem, it can pretty much one-hit them. I been playing too much Oblivion.

Lead because it's tasty... Why couldn't it be favorite mineral? (obsidian)

 

[TaborMallory]

I like my metal the way I don't like my coffee: Black.

Music aside, I'm very partial to hematite.

 

[NeutralDrow]

I'm partial to silver and cobalt, myself.

I'll stand up for technetium if given the chance, though.

 

[The_Echo]

Americanium because it has such a silly name. That and Californium. Seriously?

 

[timmytom1]

I like.... BRITISH STEEL!!! [http://www.amiright.com/album-covers/images/album-Judas-Priest-British-Steel.jpg] OT:Tungsten

 

[XJ-0461]

Damn, I though this was going to be about music. And I was going to be all witty and say the name of an element.

On topic: mercury is pretty cool. lookit.

Spoiler

That's liquid metal. Do you think it's secretly a mimetic poly-alloy? Cookies for reference.

 

[SpikeyGirl]

Strontium because when its a compound like strontium chloride then burnt it makes a pretty red flames.

Spoiler: Pretty flame

Or magnesium because burning that never gets old.
