Yo! Diiman here.
We had a crazy awesome adventure today for TOA. There was this death threat on this cute little Drak girl named Lorei. She is the daughter of Darco the head dude at the DDC. I like him, he makes all kinds of cool stuff and lets me use some his designs as props in movies. Like in Guns in Space where I used the rail gun to disable the bad guy's ship's rear right thruster which caused it to steer off course into their own fleet's support ships. Yeah that was awesome. And I also used the plasma... <snip> ... then she said, "that was the hairiest ass I've ever seen."
Anyway, we were supposed to protect the girl during the show because Darco was all like "I will not give in to these threats!" Yeah, that guy has balls. Lorei is small and cute, but she is not as cute as Ceelie. It's great when I give her little food and it is still bigger than her head. It is all like, "how is she going to eat that?" Then she munches on it until it disappears. I'm not really sure where it goes. I think that it would be much more difficult to find food that was bigger than Lorei's head. Would a Drakk girl even be able to eat that much at once? Hrm...
So Li had this great idea on how to protect Lorei. He'll use himself as a shield! How bad ass is that? They'll be all like, "We're going to kill you little girl." Then he'll be all like, "No!". Then BAM! And then "Hah, you did not harm her because I am awesome." It would be like that time in... <snip> ... then I said, "because there is no way that huge thing is going to fit in that little hole." But she made it fit somehow.
Yeah, so in order to practice blocking bullets, Li and I went down to the firing range in TOA headquarters. I grabbed a 9mm handgun while Li went and stood next to the targets. I started taking shots at the targets while Li tried to jump in front of the shots as I fired. It was awesome, the standard pistol rounds would bounce right off of his scales. I wonder how he is able to move around so easily with all that armoring. My body armor restricts my movements a bit, but something that heavy would be all like, "help I've gotten stuck in my own armor." Then the bad guys would all laugh at me. Seems like a bad idea. Note: never put that in a movie.
Oh and they have lots of neat weapons to practice with in the firing range. There was this awesome triple barrel shotgun that I was playing with. If you give the gun a good twist while shooting it, it causes this really cool spread pattern in the target. I also decided to play with their rocket launcher trainers. Unfortunately they don't explode, so it kind of made me sad after a while. Playing with those just isn't nearly as satisfying without the shattering kaboom. Explosions make everything awesomer. That time in Dial E for Explosion when we sabotaged the nuclear reactor on the evil Dr. Winklestein's volcanic island base was the awesomest. It was all like little boom, little boom, then lava, little boom, more lava, then the big fireball blew up the entire base, and then the volcano errupted spewing lava into the sea and the big ash cloud into the sky while we escaped on jet engine powered jetskis. Those jetskis were great. They don't turn all that well, but they really skip across the waves. You've really got to hold on tight or you'll fly right off. On the first take, I lost it on a 4 foot swell and hit the water doing about 70. I bruised my ribcage and dislocated my shoulder, but it was totally worth it to ride one of those things.
