FTA-TV Deadliest Warriors

[Exe Gesis]

On right now (Sydney) on 7Mate.

Pretty interesting science show, in the vain of the Sports Science show. They look at various warriors in history, and pit two h2h against each other, using real weapons of that era, and testing them on various real-to-life models of humans and carcasses of animals. They put all the results of the killing power of all their various weapons, and their various weapons against their opponents armor, into a computer and find results for everything. May even be a computer h2h simulation at the end (havent got that far)

Tonight is...

Aztec Jaguar Warrior of 15th Century Central America (Stone Age)
-versus-
Zande Warrior of 19th Century Central Africa (Iron Age)

Kinda like UFC

So damn bad.

So So Damn bad.

However im guilty of watching it now and then, Guilt pleasure, watch if you like watching old style weapons swinging through mannequins filled with blood, not for scientific or logical debate of battles.

Also with the Lawrence of Arabia V Teddy R, I already realised who was going to win since they wernt going to have a guy dressed as an arab kill a Former US president

You really find it that bad? It's awesome (imo).

 

[Exe Gesis]

Here we go, computer whiz simulates 1000 battles h2h

I dont know, It's freaking unbearable at times, however im a sucker for watching halberds go through a pig's carcass.

The stats flew by too quickly for me to jot down of how many kills each weapon caused in 1000 simulations, but.....

Spoiler

the Zande Warrior wins!

It's multiplat, downloadable purchase apparently, and yep, Tekken-like with more 'realism' of damage, like the show....all about discovering/emphasizing deadliest force of various weapons.
