... Well I did NOW.
... Well I did NOW.
I certainly did... That video may be from StarCraft 2,though, as it's missing some that are in the first game... "Are you trying to get invited to my next barbecue?" and "Could I interest you in some propane, or propane accessories?"

Does anyone else suspect that Think Tank will soon be extruding more metaphysical bricks? Possibly enough to extend/improve at least one wall, and maybe build a second one if it doesn't exist already?

I've a feeling there was going to be some comment about her being racist (90% joke) that she narrowly avoided.
Holding back on his ramping is how he escaped the Yangban. Is this deliberate AU or did someone else rescue him?

They're in there. I just had the clip queued up to the appropriate line. Go back to the start and listen to the entire thing.

Think they may have been banned from any further nonfunctional construction, under the basis that if a running gag gets you put in M/S confinement, you should probably knock it off?
I can't find any indication of how he escaped in canon, beyond "pretended to work with them until he could get away". Most of his "not ramping up" seems to have been "no conflict!" related. This is "conflict! but I'll stop at this level of ramping up" instead.
Do you know where in canon it says that he escaped by holding back his ramping up in combat?
Maybe they'll second trigger as a group and suddenly have the ability to extrude real brigs

You do realise she could have concealed one of the Bluetooth sound devices in the rubber chicken, so it squarked like a real one? Or, maybe she set it up so she could speak through it, maybe even make the beak move?

Huh... didn't think of that. So she was just being a massive troll, as per usual.You do realise she could have concealed one of the Bluetooth sound devices in the rubber chicken, so it squarked like a real one? Or, maybe she set it up so she could speak through it, maybe even make the beak move?

Well,she's ALREADY doing all that QA could ask for in a normal situation. Gotta troll to get that extra oomph.
Not to mention, how many people can say they hit Lung with a rubber chicken and lived?

True, true. I wonder what level of trolling she'd manage if she did it while in a fugue state? Actually... on second thought, that might just destroy the city.

Still none, since the rubber chicken ended up hitting someone else?
Fair enough... But she's got video proof that she tried to hit a slightly ramped rage dragon with a rubber chicken.
Day of power testing with Lung: free. (to Maul, anyway.)
Rubber chicken: 10.00.
Look on viewer's faces when you attack a ramped Lung with a rubber chicken: Priceless.

I'd imagine the look on Lung's face (and all observers) when the rubber chicken was pulled out was priceless. Which might have been the intent.

Alternatively, this could be a set up in the event of a serious fight. Say, Hookwolf is rampaging around. Maul gets an opportunity to pull a leaping attack straight out of Hollywood -

But would Maul, even with Bonesaw and Panacea's enhancements, be able to tank the landing? Because if she uses the jump harness to slow herself down, that would lessen the force of her attack.

Easily I'd wager.

It would take a lot of practice, but she could work the timing to the point where she swings down to project the attack as the last instant before she needs to trigger the harness to safely decelerate for a safe landing. Come to think of it, she videos the practice, then after the first time she actually applies the attack in combat, posts the practice video to show that she doesn't just come up with attacks off the cuff all the time.
And if there are a few errors in the landings in there, hey, blooper reels are also popular, right?

The harness makes it so that gravity has less effect on her under certain circumstances. It doesn't slow her down if she's already traveling too fast towards the ground (though turning it off can slow her down if she's traveling too fast upwards...she just has to turn it back on before she's traveling too fast back down).

Sounds like she needs a self-repacking parachute. Even if it's just a reserve straight-drop drag chute. (But an maneuverable air-ram wing would be SO COOL!) Or even a single-use emergency survivable-landing chute.
Maybe something like Batman uses in the video games?

Ah well, Slayer level durability would've been asking too much anyway.
