Title: Aurora 4x jokes
Post by: Alfapiomega on August 06, 2013, 03:52:38 AM: Sorry if this was here before, haven't seen such a topic. Let's have a rage/joke topic where we can kid around about the various things that happen to us in this awesome game! Pictures or just jokes, whatever you wish :)

And as an OP I will start:

The first one is unfortunately common. :P

Both correct. But that is the joke ;D

And come on, people. I don't believe you are all serious when playing this game and not having any fun :D

To post links, you need to have a minimum of 10 posts. This is to discourage the "create an acct, post a ton of spam links and get banned" The post appears, and the links are munged up.

If you post the link, and it's a valid link I can fix it (as can any moderator).

Post by: Triato on February 26, 2014, 10:04:38 AM: You know you have played to much aurora when:

You know the amount of seconds in a day, month and year.

You think it twice before going through a door and before you do you check the other side with your arm.

You think about getting a tow truck when you see damaged cars on the street.

Sure you can do better

Post by: Theodidactus on February 26, 2014, 10:15:46 AM: You seriously consider speeding up research at your lab by turfing it to a younger, but more "exceptional" lead researcher

You've stopped your monthly donations to NPR because you plan to invade their homeworld

You dread every confirmed discovery of an extrasolar planet because that's just one more thing you'll have to change about your system maps

Your solution to the "low fuel" light going on in your car is to pull into the nearest gas station and siphon some fuel from nearby civilian vehicles.

the navy of your native country has, sadly, rejected your proposal to replace the small number of large missile launchers on their ships with a massive number of very small ones

you've written to both NASA and CNSA to critique the design of their martian shuttle system.

Haha, I forgot to put engines to a pair of tankers with a million and a half liters of fuel. It was pretty fun.
Title: Re: Aurora 4x jokes
Post by: iceball3 on January 28, 2015, 03:27:59 AM: You know you've played too much aurora when:
You wonder why nobody else's cars have CIWS built into them.
You turn off your car's engines when at stoplights, to reduce chance of detection.
You always drive as fast as possible otherwise to dodge missoles.
Send fully developed and potentially working blueprints to NASA, all of which need trans newtonian materials to actually work.
You find the world's nuclear stockpile to be relatively weak overall.

Post by: Vandermeer on November 01, 2015, 05:38:47 PM: I've recently come to watch and finish the Yamato anime which you pointed me too. :) So much better than that weird live action movie. That dimensional submarine episode was the most amazing thing. "How to dive down in space, so we can have traditional navy warfare again? Well, if height is already taken, just add another dimension, duh!" Genius. Also renewed my view on Aurora cloaking technology.
..And right after that this space horror psi episode.. . It is a pretty amazing show. One of the few ones that has an acceptable ending too.(though still a bit rushed and clunky, because Japan, where the journey is the goal)

however I've just discovered there is a Bikini model named Azusa Yamamoto, ready made nose art for the space battleship!

pity she wasn't in the cast of the movie

What do you mean he never did?

Yamamoto led operation Midway (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Midway)from the bridge of Yamato in 1942.

Post by: MarcAFK on November 06, 2015, 11:17:51 PM: The logo is from world of tanks, which I don't play, but I'm currently going through their youtube channel as it has a few very short basic documentaries about tanks, specifically there's "the chieftain" and "the challenger" who poke around in various tanks. Quite enlightening about armour design really.
I've seen that GIF used before with a minecraft logo instead. heh.
