[QUOTE=Bbarnes005;48630135]I'm guessing they were anarchists although wikipedia says they were socialists.[/QUOTE]
If the 'undemocratic' statement is true then they wouldn't be Anarchists, but probably authoritarian socialists. Maybe ones who didn't like marxist-leninism and wanted a second go at that whole dictatorship of the proletariat thing.
[QUOTE=Talishmar;48622571]These 'low FoV big thing in the background small person in the foreground' pictures, while technically impressive have become really repetitive to me.[/QUOTE]
It's important to remember though that most of the time these sorts of images are concept art, and as such they're technically not [I]for[/I] most of the people in this thread. They're for other concept artists, other people in the production pipeline or media investors/producers. The figure is there to establish depth and scale, and often to give a sense of the types of people that inhabit that world/zone.
You may be sick of that type of image in the same way that somebody who doesn't sew for a living would be sick of seeing supposedly identical dotted-lines-and-crosshatched-paper sewing patterns, but the similarity serves a symbol and concept-based function

bottom right one pretty much says "All your base are belong to us", and the middle one's latin part is "Tastes like chicken"

[quote=Wiki]Semyon Nomokonov (1900–1973) was a Soviet sniper during World War II, credited with [b]367 kills.[/b] An ethnic Evenk, Nomokonov was among the indigenous peoples of Russia who fought in the war. He received the nickname Taiga Shaman from the enemies. Nomokonov was born in a poor family of hunters and from childhood lived in taiga. Nomokonov took the rifle for the first time at the age of seven. He hunted sable, Manchurian wapiti and elk, and was nicknamed Eye of the Kite. Nomokonov started his military service in August 1941, initially in a subsistence farm of a regiment. Nomokonov became a sniper by chance. In the fall of 1941 he was evacuating one of the wounded, when he noticed a German, aiming at him. Nomokonov killed him with his own rifle. After that Nomokonov was transferred to a sniper platoon. He started to shoot from a Mosin–Nagant rifle without a telescopic sight. Nomokonov fought at the Valdai Heights, Karelian Isthmus, Ukraine, Lithuania, East Prussia and then in Manchuria. He initially marked the number of kills on his smoking pipe. Nomokonov was wounded eight times and suffered a blast injury twice. As a sniper instructor, Nomokonov trained over 150 soldiers. Nomokonov was awarded two Orders of the Red Star, Order of the Red Banner, Order of Lenin and medals. He left nine children and [b]49 grandchildren.[/b][/quote]

NORL-39 is tame as far as NROL patches go.
[img]http://i.imgur.com/jUCYD1i.jpg[/img]
[quote]The patch for NRO Launch 49 depicts a phoenix rising from the flames. The patch also features fourteen stars, including one being carried in the bird’s beak. There also appears to be a fifteenth star obscured by the bird’s wing. There’s a long tradition in such patches for the stars to symbolize the number of payloads launched. Fourteen stars just happens to be the number of KH-11 type electro-optical satellites successfully launched by the United States over the years—including the one being carried into orbit by this bird. A fifteenth launch—the one obscured star—ended in failure.
The Latin words “melior diabolus quem scies” are inscribed on the patch. This roughly translates to mean “the devil you know,” as in the phrase [B]“better the devil you know than the devil you don’t know.”[/B]
All of these symbols hint that this is the fifteenth launch of a KH-11 type electro-optical reconnaissance satellite. The KH-11 and its descendents have been in service since 1976, and the program was scheduled for replacement by a new series of satellites as part of the Future Imagery Architecture, or FIA. But FIA ran into problems and was canceled. (See “Gum in the keyhole”, The Space Review, June 22, 2009). [/quote]

I guess the yellow arc you see before each set of explosions is the electrical charge they use to detonate the explosives.
What kind of person are you to get pissed at an explosion looping?
