[QUOTE="mmu1, post: 4783556, member: 319"] They're not going to go into the "science" of these simulations, because there isn't any. Their "simulation software" has been made by some game studio that makes crappy B-List RTS games like this: [url=http://www.strategyinformer.com/pc/spartan/review.html]Spartan PC Review, Spartan Player Reviews[/url] The consistency of their testing and the complete lack of any controls make Mythbusters look like real science. (though don't get me wrong, I like Mythbusters) Still, the show would probably be watchable if it wasn't for some of the lowlife "experts" they have on - or perhaps if the producers didn't clearly encourage absurd levels of hyperbole and trash talking. I am [i]so[/i] sick of fakes and posers strutting around, trying to sell the merits of something they clearly know very little about. Especially when it comes to any of the non-Western fighters, the BS meter just buries the needle... Apaches with painted faces named "Snake Blocker"... Dumpy "ninjas" that can't hit a 10' distant target with a blowgun... Random [i]sport[/i] martial artist dude waving a couple of sickles around, pretending he'd be able to find vulnerable spots in armor in a real fight... Of course, some of the Western ones are just as bad, like some guy that's a pirate expert because he's still got a ponytail at 45 and wears lots of crappy novelty shop jewelry... [/QUOTE]
