Susano Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 Re: Why people shouldn't buy Cybernetics OAF I'm not sure that kick on the left side of panel four is even possible.... This also reminds me of Shirow's essay on cybernetics in the back of one of his Appleseed books... where he show that trying to lift great weights will tear your nice shiny cyberarm out since it's only as strong as it's anchors. Something to think about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't that also in Shadow Run as well ? Or, I could be confusing it with Cyberpunk 2020. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since K5 is more cinematic I sort of ignore this effect... although I do mention that the BODY increases you get with cyberlimbs are due to skeletal bracing and the like.

Although I've actually played more Shadow Run than CP 2020 there's so many little details in those books things seem to blur together.

I've seen that exact same move in martial arts movies. It's unbelievable that it can deliver a lot of real force through. But she is a super-martial artist capable of single-handedly defeating at least six trained federal agents at once. "I don't know what my kryptonite is, but you didn't bring any."

The one in the drawing seems impossible because hip joints don't work like that. So I know what's being depicted, I'm just not buying how it's being depicted.

Dude was obviously a power gamer who bought his real arms as OAF... which worked, until he met the guy with 30-40 STR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matrix3 Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 Re: Why people shouldn't buy Cybernetics OAF Good comic! Thanks! I like the caption on the TV in the second frame of this one. "SURGEON GENERAL'S WARNING: Almost everything in Australia is made of poison, and if you find something that is not poisonous, watch out for the claws and the teeth."
