You really don't understand depression. He wasn't like "LOL YEAH IF I OFF MYSELF EVERYONE I LOVE WILL BE SAD AND THAT'LL BE AWESOME." It's a crippling pain that will eat away at you over time. There's no magic cure for it.

Yeah manic depression sucks, but killing yourself in front of someone who cares about you is still like the worst possible way you could end your life. Suicide caused by severe depression isn't justifiable or OK by any means, but it's understandable. But when you do it in a way that causes the maximum harm to others, especially people you care about, just makes you a downright awful person. Things like suicide by cop fall into that category.
Theres no snake-oil cure for depression out there but it's not like treatment is non existent.

This, depression doesn't have people crying out for attention, and suicide from having depression is as far as you can get from an attention get. Depressed people are the opposite of attention seekers.
Also watching that documentary that Stephen Fry made about maniac depression is really eye opening, and informative.

I was watching an interview with Krist Novoselic and he was talking about how things went after Kurt's death, he was saying that even after a year or two he would walk past guitar shops and go in looking for left handed guitars for Kurt, even though he had died.

Both of those are from the same animation school. My cousin was actually the art director on the video I posted.
Here's some of my cousin's other works.

[QUOTE=Rofl_copter;43989897]the turret alone is like the size of a car lmao[/QUOTE]
The KV-2 was the product of the stupidity of Russian engineering. It was mounted with a 152mm anti-emplacement cannon meant to spearhead through thick defenses and destroy bunkers. Because of the cannon size it had a stupidly long average reload time but it was compensated by stupidly thick armor too. It couldn't fire AP shells because it would just break EVERYTHING in the tank, it couldn't fire with the turret turned to the side because it would knock the tank on it's side, and it had a bad habbit of the turret ring just breaking from the cannons recoil. Stupid Soviet engineering, man.
[QUOTE=Trunk Monkay;43990387]it couldn't fire with the turret turned to the side because it would knock the tank on it's side[/QUOTE]
That's just plain untrue. At least the part of 152mm recoil knocking a 50 ton tank on it's side. The big turret did make the tank unstable when traveling on steep slopes though, but it definitely didn't get tipped over by the gun's recoil.

idk, upon googling it seems like it's a fuckin fortress:
[quote]"On June 23rd the German 6th Panzerdivision established two bridgeheads over the Dubissa river, seizing the town of Rasyenya. The attack to this bridgeheads (formed by Pz 35(t), infantry, artillery and AT guns) begun the same day by the 12th Mechanized Corps and 2nd Tank Division and its KV heavy tanks of the 3rd Mechanized Corps as reinforcement. General Solyalyskin sent a single KV-2 and some infantry to sever the road connection with the rest of 6th Panzer.
It remained in that point for two days, destroying with its 152mm gun twelve trucks which tried to supply the isolated bridgeheads. Six 50mm PaK 39 were moved to dispatch the tank but as they succesfully scored five direct hits, the tank's gunner opened fire destroying the first gun and damaging the others. An 88mm gun (from the FlaK Abt. 298) was moved from its camouflaged position in the Northern bridgehead and with its halftracked prime mover used the wreckage of the trucks to reach a distance of 900 metres from its target where it was spotted by the tank crew a destroyed with two direct hits. Relief parties were kept away from MG fire. Night actions of the German Pz.Pionier Bn. 57 Engineers to blow it up failed due to heavy armor which remained unscatted from the explosive charge applied to the hull. A new attempt was only able to broke the track. Heavy MGs' fire prevented other tentatives.
So desperate was becoming the situation that the 6th Panzerdivision requested the 1st Panzer to come to the rescue by striking the Western flank of the 12th Mechanized Corps and 2nd Tank Division. The 1st Pz. Div. was largely equipped with the neawer Pz III and IV, whcih have proved to be more succesfull (although in very unusual circumstances) than the Pz. 35(t) which equipped the 6th. In its drive, the 1st Pz. Div. succeded in breaching the Russian lines and defeat their armored forces as many KV tanks among their ranks (29 were destroyed or abandoned in the actions). This helped the bridgeheads by a grave pressure and so a Platoon of Pz. 35(t)s was sent to distract the KV-2 tank while another 88mm was carefully brought forward. When in position it opened fire, scoring six direct hits apparently disabling the tank. Further examination proved that only two projectiles had penetrated and while the German crew climbed over the tank, its turret rotated against them. An engineer finished it by launching some explosive in."[/quote]

If it tried to fire a AP or concrete piercing shell, yeah it would, especially on uneven ground. It was mainly due to the gun being mounted so high. They had to mount the gun high because the trunnion was interfering with the turrets armor near the turret ring.

It couldn't really fire AP from any position in the first place, so kinda irrelevant :v:
Plus even still, I really doubt the whole tank would tip over, the turret ring would probably be crushed inwards instead.
