Entry Fourteen

[nekosmos]

My systems seem to have returned to their standard operating levels. There should be no further malfunctions.

.............................

On an unrelated note, I have been researching various forms of media, primarily movies.

Robocop has been of particular interest. While I have not been following the development of the police force up to this point, I am curious in regards to its current level of firepower.

Yes, that is the basic conclusion of the movie. It seems to carry heavy anti-corporation messages, as does its successors.

I have yet to watch all of them, but there are three that I know of.

[selfmade-story.livejournal.com]

So that's the point of the movie? I was right, it MUST be cheezy.

They made three, even?! Man, people must've been really bored.

[vector-angel.livejournal.com]

It appears to be a very archaic movie in general.

[selfmade-story.livejournal.com]

As in, it's from a looooong time ago?

[vector-angel.livejournal.com]

Given the City's multi-dimensional nature, I cannot say.

[selfmade-story.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, you can't really measure that sorta thing here, can you?

So did you pick up the movies 'cause you're a robot?

[vector-angel.livejournal.com]

I am studying such media that relates to that fact, yes.

[selfmade-story.livejournal.com]

Huh... wonder if I should ask Protoman about this...

Any other interesting robot-related movies you've found?

[vector-angel.livejournal.com]

The Terminator series seems to be a notable example.

Also, Bladerunner and the Star Wars movies seem to contain various forms of robots as well.

[selfmade-story.livejournal.com]

I doubt they even get the "robots" in these movies right. At least, compared to the kind of robots I know.

[vector-angel.livejournal.com]

The robot known as Protoman bears a vague resemblance to Robocop.

[selfmade-story.livejournal.com]

S-seriously?! Oh man, he'd be pissed if he found out about that. He doesn't know do-gooder robots.

Now that I think about it... that brother of his sounds kind of like this Robocop dude, minus all the evil corporation stuff. Maybe the movie's from his world!

[vector-angel.livejournal.com]

Both are humanoid in shape, and wear visored helmets.

However, the color scheme is different, and Robocop does not wear a scarf.

[selfmade-story.livejournal.com]

His design always did look kinda antiquated to me, heh heh.

So what's this Robocop guy fight with? Blaster cannon thingie?

[vector-angel.livejournal.com]

A variety of weapons, it seems. Primarily he would appear to have a single handgun stowed away in a compartment in his leg. His shooting style seems reminiscent of a gunslinger. In later movies he has an arm which detaches to be replaced by a machine gun/rocket launcher combination.

[selfmade-story.livejournal.com]

More lame-o ballistics weapons, huh? The arm thing sounds kinda cool, though. That kinda does remind me of Protoman. Maybe they're related, hee hee hee...

[vector-angel.livejournal.com]

It is impossible to tell given the previously stated multi-dimensionality.

[selfmade-story.livejournal.com]

Yeah yeah, I know. I meant it more as a joke anyway. He's fun to bug, ya see.

[vector-angel.livejournal.com]

............. Bug?

[selfmade-story.livejournal.com]

Er... you know. Annoy. Bother. Pester? That what's "bug" means in that context.

[vector-angel.livejournal.com]

............ I see.
