You can find it using karmadecay.com. Had a net 1600+ points on r/funny just over two weeks ago.

Such a cool idea. Thanks for the link to karma decay.

People use the term "fire a gun" all the time instead of "fire a bullet".

So what's wrong with "fire a bow"?

[–]beckermt 69 points70 points ago

Nothing really, but it's funny.

[–]NateTheGreat68 9 points10 points ago

I prefer "loose an arrow". It just sounds cooler.

[–]fwaggle 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

... and it drives someone who's just seen forty people on facebook say "loose" when they meant "lose" crazy!

[–]Cyric 0 points1 point ago

Agreed, makes it sound like the arrow wants to be set loose on the world and you are the only one keeping it from going around piercing people's internal organs.

[–]Boingboingsplat 19 points20 points ago

Technically, "fire" doesn't make any sense in the context of archery anyways. The term "fire" didn't come around until we had actual firearms.

[–]minno 10 points11 points ago

Interestingly, in French, you "pull" a gun to shoot it, since they just took the word that they were using for bows.

[–]thatkenyan 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

That makes a lot of sense. I always assumed it was because of the trigger.

[–]Chafez 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

In swedish we use "to fire/att avfyra" for bows/arrows and "to shoot/att skjuta" for guns/arrows

[–]gwyr 1 point2 points ago

Do you have bowguns in sweden? :D

[–]Chafez 0 points1 point ago

Oh god, the grammar. How do i even?

[–]Gandzilla 1 point2 points ago

/agree. that's why you shoot a bow

[–]Plutor 2 points3 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It does make sense in the context of archery. You can talk about carbon fiber arrows even though carbon fiber didn't exist when archery was first developed. The OED gives this meaning for fire (among many others):

15b. To propel or discharge a missile, as from a gun.

We could debate whether this sense pre-dates guns (it doesn't appear to) but that doesn't really matter when we're talking about the meaning of certain words when we use them in 2011.

never laughed so hard at a repost.

[–]colourofawesome 6 points7 points ago

For some reason I laughed harder this time than the first time.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

I have to say I'm glad for this one, as I hadn't seen it before.

[–]szenny 6 points7 points ago

I love Tales of Vesperia. Such grace!

I've been playing the Japanese PS3 version lately, and I know no Japanese at all, but I've made it to Tarqaron, at least!

[–]dankclimes 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Is it worth it? I am really jealous of the extras that the JS version has, but I don't know if it's worth it to have extra characters if you don't actually get to feel the character develop.

In any case, the wee pirate girl looked really fun.

[–]szenny 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It's worth it only if you really enjoy the game. I played the 360 version twice: a normal game, and an Unknown mode game where I had unlocked everything fun from the GRADE shop.

I bought the PS3 version solely for Flynn and Patty being usable in combat, not the costumes and whatnot. Fortunately, the Tales wiki Aselia has all of the information you need for Artes and Skills, but Synthesis takes a lot of work. I also used Kouli's sidequest guide so I would know when to activate subevents. I usually skip skits, unless they are new ones that I recognize.

I'll probably go and replay the 360 version sometime after an Unknown mode run of the PS3 version. I went off on a tangent but hopefully this helps you out some. I'd still love to play an English version of the PS3 version, but if my only hopes for it are clinging to a PS3 with 3.55 firmware, then it'll probably never happen. Here's to hoping the unofficial translation team can make magic happen!

[–]dankclimes 1 point2 points ago

That helps a lot. The battle system is definitely what I liked best about Vesperia. As far as story goes, Tales of the Abyss is hands down my favorite in the series and holds a special little place in my heart (can't wait for the 3DS release).

So I think I might go for it if I get back into Vesperia again. I didn't find the story or the female lead to be very interesting so I could probably enjoy it without the dialog. Also, I really really want to see the advanced Mystic Artes.

First thing to make me actually laugh all day.

[–]ihavesharpteeth 4 points5 points ago

I'd just like to point out that if let go in that position, the bow would go backward, not forward.

I cried too. at work!

[–]sumeone123 1 point2 points ago

Was it because you thought the link was funny, or do you feel such helplessness at work that you can only cry?

[–]TehRia 0 points1 point ago

Both.

I actually still have this open in another tab so I can always have it on hand to show people.

Does anyone know the origin of the face in the last panel? I'm pretty sure it's some kind of meme face, but I can't remember where it is from.

[–]Flamecube 2 points3 points ago

It's the "you went full retard" face from Tropic Thunder

How did this guy have time to draw a whole comic before a thread 404'd?

[–][deleted] 9 points10 points ago

That's not /b/. Threads are a lot less active on other boards on 4chan.

[–]TheLastGuitarHero 0 points1 point ago

Oh okay thanks. Everyone down voting makes me laugh. I can't help but think they're like, "You don't understand how my 4chan works! Downvote for you!" Calm down, kids. : P

I'm amazed by the level of talent and creativity that can go into simply making fun of someone.

Hi, my name is Zecret. I've casually looked at reddit for the past few months now, but never made an acc. because I didn't think it was neccessary. I made an acc. today just to comment on this and say that it made me laugh so hard my face turned purple, I stopped breathing, and I almost died.

Honest question for the OP: This has been posted a couple times but I'm assuming you didn't know that so where did you find it?
