Dear science: Stop messing around and build a Gundam already.
Dear science,
First off, let me say that we at TG are big fans of you. Flat-out: you BRING IT. Seriously, good looking out. You’ve stopped polio. You’ve sent men to the moon. You’ve allowed internet porn to reach me in copious amounts at ultra-fast speeds. Good work. Especially on that last one.
Surr-s-ly.
But science, (I hope I’m not getting too ‘girlfriend-y’ on you here) I’m going to say this: lately, things have gotten a bit goofy, and we’re starting to loose sight of goals that we need to move towards. We’re staring at our belly buttons.
And while I love microprocessors, GPS systems, nanotechnology, youtube, and ATM wan protocols as much as the next dude that writes for the blog section of a rarely-updated webstore, I think we need to cut to the damn chase: IT’S TIME TO BUILD A GUNDAM.
Naysayers, whom we shall henceforth refer to as “pussies”, have been noting that Gundams are nothing but large targets on the battlefield. But couldn’t we theoretically use them for construction, rescue, and research operations? Yes, the argument could be made that the VOTOMS design or some of Masamune Shirow’s landmate or ‘insect-based’ designs would be more effective and realistic, and yes if I was splitting hairs here I would say that I could see Patlabor coming to fruition first, but let us not forget a simple equation:
BIG-ASS GUNDAM RUNNING AROUND ≥ THAT SHIT WOULD RULE x120000(squared).
Also note the corollary:
BITCHIN’ ABOUT GUNDAMS EXISTING AS CANNON FODDER ≠ BEING FUN.
So come on science. You’ve brought us SETI. You’ve brought us neuro-surgery. You’ve brought us an excuse to think that douche bag computer programmers who masquerade as engineers can be mistaken for “cool”.
Now let’s get out there and build us a big ass mother-humpin’ robot. GET YOUR ASSES IN GEAR!!!
