The Glade 4.0

Season final tonight for the newest season features Vampires vs Zombies. Figured some folks here would be interested in that. Spike TV.

they are really running out of ideas now, aren't they?

It's actually been pretty good so far. They got Max Brooks to represent the zombie side.

I have officially won our Deadliest Warrior Office Pool for the third straight season...WOOHOO!

Now that's an awesome idea.

The process is interesting even when I don't agree with their analysis.

I'm sure they would have to get some kind of legal permission but this show is just ripe for "X Superhero vs X Superhero".

Yeah, that's my only problem with the show. Sometimes their "experts" aren't really experts with the weapons/style of the "warrior" they are doing data for. Sure, that ex Green Beret may be proficient with a lot of things, but there's no way he's as proficient with a Gladius as a Gladiator would be and he doesn't practice with one as often as the expert in Kendo is practicing with their katana. That data is going to be skewed.

That, and sometimes their methods aren't practical as well. For instance, when they compared the mafia's baseball bat to a Yakuza's nunchuku. They compared the two by raw damage power in a single hit. That's the stupidest way to compare the two. The bat will always win. The nunchuku is not a weapon designed just to smash. It's designed to work in tight quarters, to quickly perform multiple hits (by the time a bat swings once, you've been nailed half a dozen times by the nunchuks), and they are designed to disarm and confuse an opponent (they move very unpredictably to an opponent's eyes).

Again, it skews the data. As much as these fat guineas would like to believe their mafia would win, I don't think realistically that they would.
