WrathfulDeath:
--- Quote from: Mr_Rose on 26 Jun 2014, 01:31 ---Milspec isn't necessarily about resistance to deformation; it's about resistance to damage: a case which deforms without harming the components when hit and which can be easily returned to normal with hand tools is infinitely preferable to a solid brick of a case that allows internal components to bounce around inside and shatter beyond repair.
Same basic principle behind crumple zones in cars only in this case the crumple seems infinitely repairable.

Good point, I would have just thunk that it wouldn't have dented as bad as it did (be it the comedic value would have been much lower). Also, it seems like some form of internal component damage has been achieved, at least until they pop the dent out anyways.

I though he was still using the milspec one, they just took the laser out. Unless I am totally forgetting something...

--- Quote from: HauntingPoem on 26 Jun 2014, 00:28 ---I believe Sam and Emily are both able to instinctively recognize that it is the mandate of the universe to hit Pintsize for saying something offensive. They both just happened to jump the gun a bit. Faye on the other hand has no problem bashing Pintsize if I remember correctly.

Faye first met Pintsize very early in the series. It was not her first impulse to hit Pintsize, she waited until he totally deserved it.
maneyan:
Yeah it was fun when Pintsize got sent flying for showing veronica goatse, it was funny when Emily decided to be her usual weird-as-hell self, but now... not really. As said, robots have rights, that's a fact. Also: "The right to swing my fist ends where the other man's nose begins". Doesn't matter if Pintsize can't feel it, he's being systematically assaulted these days and hasn't even done anything that weird to "warrant" the punch. Jeph will probably address it though, Sam needs to learn.
Barmymoo:
In answer to the questions about shipping, the answer is no - Jeph doesn't like speculation about his characters having sexual involvements, he finds it creepy. If he's shown them expressing an interest, you can discuss that, but not any kind of fantasy scene (the forum almost got deleted due to incidents like that).

No, I think you're right. I thought Marten and Pintsize went with Marigold's suggestion but apparently it didn't happen.
