    2x01: Pirate, Ninja, or Zombie

    in Hak5

    Posted

    To start out, I would place Zombies on the lowest level of the "Pirate vs. Ninja vs. Zombie". I will go by film in this case.

    Evil Dead Series : While the zombies in this movie were indeed very fierce, manipulative, and satanic, they were easily able to be killed by a guy sporting a shotgun and a chainsaw. He was able to take down zombie after zombie without much trouble. Pirates and Ninjas have well too much training to be able to be stopped by a few of these zombies. Winner: Pirates and Ninjas

    George Romero Series : While usually in large numbers, these Zombies are slow and very unintellignet. They just wonder aimlessly, and lose interest very quickly. Now, a Ninja would have no problem battling these zombies. Ninjas are trained to bring down the enemy quickly, but might tire from the crowd. A pirate, would not tire, fighting with sheer force, but the attacks might be too slow to do much good, and soon they would be surrounded. Winner: Pirates and Ninjas

    Resident Evil Series : These zombies are a bit different. They don't go faster, but are very quiet. They can sneak up on you without any indication. These zombies might even give ninjas a run for their money if a large enough group forms. Pirates may be a little slower, but can basically handle anything. While Ninjas are trained year after year, pirates are not trained, but learn the art of improvisation. Keeping them alert. Winners: Tie (Depends on Numbers)

    28 Days Later Genere : The zombies in this type of movie are very fast. Faster than humans. While Ninjas can match the speeds, the zombies are very unpredictable. Ninjas may have trouble reacting. Pirates, on the other hand, have a problem with the speed of the attack, but the zombies don't tend to travel together. They generally go out alone, making them easy targets for one-on-one battles. Pirates improvise, so the battles will go down flawlessly. Winner: Pirates and Ninjas

    Now it is time to judge the Pirate versus the Ninja. This will be done on many levels, so bear with me.

    Toughness: Pirates are known for their toughness as are Ninjas. They are both difficult to kill, and don't back down. For example, Pirates may be blind, and have lost limbs, but they are still out there fighting. Many people may say that Ninjas beat pirates on account of their countless hours spent training. However, Pirates make up what they are doing as they go along, they need to be alert so they don't get killed, and make the situation cohere to them. So technically, pirates would have to be more prepared than Ninjas because they are always on edge. Ninjas are trained for every possible occurence, but it is in fact school. Nasically, if you don't use it, you lose it, which might happen to their training. Eigther way, they each fight to accomplish a main goal, looting, and assasination respectfully. Winner: Tie

    Individuality: Ninjas basically have a lack of individuality. Mainly because of how they were taught. They became all the same. All of them dressing in black. Being the perfect killing machine. However, they are all the perfect killing machine. Each of them. They lose their unique. Pirates are not trained formally. They just pick up pirating as they live, and make their own style out of it. They dress how they want, drink how they want, loot how they want. They are all different; telling stories of their past. You can't change out pirates for one another like you can Ninjas. Winner: Pirates

    Kill Count: Ninjas kill alot of people. Only because its their job. They are hired to kill people, and do so fast, so they can get hired to kill even more people. Pirates only want to get to the loot. They may kill a few people in the way, but its not the top priority. Winner: Ninjas

    Fun Factor: Pirates are simply more fun to be than pirates. Ninjas have to go to school. For a long time. Pirates set their own hours, and get rich for doing so. They do what they want, when and where they want, without any major problems. They also go out and fight to become rich. Winner: Pirates

    Boss Employee Relationships: Ninjas and pirates are both mercenaries. Ninjas are hired by a person, and will do anything, even die, to not compromise the mission. They show a remarkable amount of loyalty that seems unrivaled. Pirates are mercenaries also. They join a captains crew, and stay loyal to it with possible promotions, such as becoming first mate, and the knowledge that you can get alot of loot at any given time/

    Winner: Tie

    So, even though Ninjas are trained for every situation, can be extremely deadly, and super stealthy, Pirates have a leg up. They make up their fighting as they go to be alert. They have to be on edge, and quickly counter the enemies' moves. This si why aI believe a pirate it the overall winner. There are book smarts, and there are street smarts. One can't know both fully.

    I also hear alot of talk about how pirates smell bad, or talk alot, or don't have a professional appearence. Well, if you were that deadly, would you want to show off how accomplished you are? Pirates are acting like they are purely for the psychological factor. They want their enemies to under-estimate them, giving them an advantage.

    1st Place: Pirate

    2nd Place: Ninja

    3rd Place: Zombie

    I'm too young for the Days of BBS, but would love to see one come up. It would be sweet to combine the resources of the Hak.5 community and build one form the ground up. I have absolutely no skills in this area, but would like to help somehow...

    IPtv shows

    in Everything Else

    Posted

    I've been reviewing my collection, and find myself missing some episodes to some IPTV Shows. If anyone has any of them, I would like to get copys. From you hosting them, FTPing them to a server (I have a place if the file is around 90 MB), Making torrents out of them, or uploading them to Google Video (But not YouTube). I need:

    - Episode 1 of "TeH_Show"

    - Any / All of the episodes of "The Power Supply"

    Thanks in advance.
