Oh god...I'm turning into SPANKY!!!!!!!
I recieved a present from my brother that was in total Japanese, or asian,
or whatever the fuck Kanji Scripts are for, apparently an import straight from
Japland...
Fear not, my Spankyness is not critical...yet, for it was:
The Combat DigiQ Tiger/Sherman set
Konami's Combat DigiQ remote controlled mini tanks are among the more impressive and fun gadgets we've seen in a long time. Great for breaks during long hours at the office or at home with the kids, these tanks are designed for battle with as many as three other tanks at the same time. These tiny RC tanks can climb up steep inclines and move over uneven surfaces, with the twin treads rotating independently to allow for in-place 360 degree rotations. A great deal of attention was paid to realism, as evidenced by the tank's accurate design and backwards recoil when firing its infrared light beam at enemy tanks. Enemy tanks spin around and emit lights from the undercarriage when they are hit. For even more realism, the Rotating Turret models can rotate the tank turret independently of the movement of the tank, with a 120-degree rotation span. Read below for additional details, including detailed information about the different modes of battle.
Now...why the fuck is it that we have to put our instruction sets in multiple
languages, english, french, spanish, and Japanese, but the Japs just put
Japanese on THEIR manuals, fuck the foreigners...why can't WE DO THAT?

Woah... Cool tanks, Shep.
Merry Christmas.

Nitram, slightly high on cough syrup: Do you know you're beautiful?
Me: Nope, that's why I have you around to tell me.
Nitram: You -are- beautiful. Anyone tries to tell you otherwise kill them.

Compared to the percentage of foreigners here, there are a negligible number of non-Japanese speaking people in Japan.MKSheppard wrote:Now...why the fuck is it that we have to put our instruction sets in multiple languages, english, french, spanish, and Japanese, but the Japs just put Japanese on THEIR manuals, fuck the foreigners...why can't WE DO THAT?
Don't hate; appreciate!
RIP Eddie.
RIP Eddie.
Yeah, those Japanese tanks are great. I think they do a line of minatures, too.

Don't you know that, over here lad, they like it best like this!
Hooray, pour les français! Farewell, Angleterre!
We didn't know how to tickle Mary, but we learnt how, over there!

When I get an RC Dom, that would also run rings round the puny tank.

That would be impressive considering these things are about 2.5 inches
long, and 1 inch high

Man, I am so fucking jealous. I was considering buying one in Japan, but they were like US$65, and I didn't want to buy two...

It would be great if people would build scale tanks with BB guns and have mock battles, like those scale battleship re-enactments.
