Protoss Stalkers, Organic or Machine?

[ArcherofAiur]

The glowing eyes are another huge hint the head is real. Plus why would you make an artificial head to communicate with other protoss and then cover half of it with a scarf?

So XSOLDIER, since the general consensus is that it's a real head, we can assume that it uses said head to look right? Or does it have another method of vision? Because from where I'm standing, it doesn't look like he has a very good field of vision. Not only that, why in the midst of battle would he multitask fighting while at the same time controlling his head? I'm inclined to think that just because his soul is infused with the machine, doesn't mean that putting a bullet in his face won't kill him.

Pick one:
He uses psionic whatnot to look around.
His head needs to be exposed in the front to facilitate translocational dimensional psionic whatnot.
A wizard did it.

I guess it would be fair to say you need a intact brain to use psionics hence why the head is intact and stapled to the front of the stalker.

/thread.

The way I see it is that dark templars whom are either healthy or crippled are chosen/volunteer to fuse their essence with the stalker machine. Controlled by the dark templar soul '"fused" with a khaydarin crystal with the assistance from the Alysaar keepers ability's with these crystals, then whose-knows-what some kind protoss psionic means of controlling the stalker psychically though the crystal once placed into the machine leaving the body an empty husk.
We have no idea the fate of Zamara & Ulrezaj' souls in that one crystal shard exisit still so...

I don't get worked up about aliens. I get worked up when I'm talking to brick walls.

Actually you just seem always worked up. All the time.

You still don't get it do you? It makes perfect sense for the PROTOSS to prioritize individualism over efficiency, it doesn't make sense from any realistic point of view to do this.

....you still dont get what you're even arguing about. It makes perfect sense what the protoss are doing, from their cultural standpoint.

Stalkers having heads make SENSE, they just are not efficient.

I already explained to you why it makes sense. I was under the impression that you were argueing how it was inefficient? Which isn't that big of a deal for the protoss.

Accept? You were agreeing with me from your first post that they aren't efficient. You just like to argue for no reason.

Your opinion changed from "not making sense" to "inefficient".

You actually changed your point as of three posts ago. From "heads being pointless" (their not, they have a variety of uses and make a lot of sense from a DT's point of view) to "heads being inefficient". Making a fucking head isnt even that big of a deal.

see below

Then refer to my post, talking through a mechanical head is pointless.

Yeah, when your profile says "replying to thread" when I looked in hopes that you would realize how pointless your arguments are and give up, and then 30 minutes later it still said "replying to thread" I don't need to spam refresh to do the math.

Glad this didn't have to turn into a 5 million post debate, have a good day.

As opposed to your non-existent point?

pandetheno plz clarify wtf your point is. Im confused. What do you want? That stalkers do not have heads? Or that stalkers continue to have heads, you just like to make fun of the culture of a nonexistent race of aliens in a video games? I wad under the impression you were arguing number #1, then just changed your position from "heads not making sense" to "heads not being materialistically efficient" somewhere along the way.

The glowing eyes are another huge hint the head is real. Plus why would you make an artificial head to communicate with other protoss and then cover half of it with a scarf?

Thats concept art. That picture barely resembles the in game/in lore variant. And the reason why they have a scarf is because they fucking want to. Is the reason why we paint teeth on the heads of our bomber because we pretend were flying on sharks?

lol uh huh. Says the guy that loves the F word.

FYI I'm done talking to you, I've said it a million times and you seem to continuously show that you have the intelligence of a pig.

You don't understand the difference from what makes sense in the lore and what makes sense from a realism standpoint. I can't explain any further because you just won't comprehend. You even thought the Marauder was an artillery unit in the other thread, sad really. This is going to go in circles again because you obviously suck donkey balls at English and reading comprehension. You can't spell for shit, your grammar sucks. I don't know how anyone can take you seriously.

Your opinion changed from "not making sense" to "inefficient".

Look who fails at putting 2 and 2 together. If you don't understand the concept that it doesn't make sense from a realistic point of view to have a head on there, and that it's inefficient, then I'm just going to point you to the nearest elementary school and tell you to go back to it.

....you still dont get what your even argueing about. It makes perfect sense what the protoss are doing, from their cultural standpoint.

Stalkers having heads make SENSE, they just are not efficient.

Seriously, do you even read before you post?
1) I've already stated multiple times it makes sense from THEIR point of view. However, from a REALISTIC point of view, it doesn't. If you don't understand point 1, you won't understand point 2. I'm assuming you won't understand point 1.
2) Since they prioritize having a head over what actually makes sense from a REALISTIC standpoint, they are therefore inefficient.

Stop trying to twist my words, if that's the only way you're attempting to win at the debate, it's pathetic, it's sad. You're trying to tell me what my point was? My point was crystal clear.

Watch as you say this again "WHAT IS YOUR POINT? HUR DUR I'M TOO ST00PID TO UNDERSTAND"

Let's see, let me say this for the nth time. My point is that the Protoss are stupid for making stupid decisions. Sure it makes sense in their culture, but that doesn't make it any less stupid. That is my point. My second point, is that you agreed with me about the Protoss not being efficient. Therefore, it goes to show you like to argue for no reason. You're a waste of time.

Oh I understand. So your point was you were making fun of a non-existent race of aliens for not being 100% material efficient in a video game.

I didn't think anyone would actually make fun of a non-existent entity unless you he was making fun of the logic that was involved in their creation (which would imply said logic should be changed) Thus I proceeded to prove how said logic makes perfect sense, as the dt should be prioritizing individuality over efficiency.

lol.

Oh I understand, you're retarded.
Let's see, 1) quote me where I was "making fun" of them. Oh, I wasn't, I was merely stating an opinion and a making a statement.
2) You argue about the plausibility of a non-existent alien race having inefficient designs. You're actually arguing for why it makes sense, I'm stating from a realistic point of view (you know, people who actually look at real life aspects?) and here you're defending an alien race, oh look I can use your argument against you too. Do you like defending the plausibility of inefficient designs for alien races? I'm sure you doo.
3) Go the hell back to school and learn how to spell and use proper sentence structure. It's no wonder why you're on here all the time making pointless arguments, you obviously failed and dropped out of school.

But I'll say this, if that's how you want to see it, "making fun" of an alien race, then yes, that's basically what I was doing. And if it took you so many posts to figure that out god save your soul you must be mentally ill. I mean, it's totally unacceptable on a gaming forum to talk about a non-existent alien race in a lore forum right? That's where your heavy sarcasm comes from right? Yeah, right.

Read the quote again and then tell me there's no evidence suggesting that the Templar fused his body with the machine. Your assumption no more wild than anyone elses. "We're going to design machines specially made for war, but while we're at it we're going to make you a fake face which you can do stuff like scratch with little claws, and blink your eyes and stuff."

Sounds like parody to me. And the fact that you posted like 10 times in this thread.

2) You argue about the plausibility of a non-existent alien race having inefficient designs. You're actually arguing for why it makes sense, I'm stating from a realistic point of view (you know, people who actually look at real life aspects?) and here you're defending an alien race, oh look I can use your argument against you too. Do you like defending the plausibility of inefficient designs for alien races? I'm sure you doo.

No I'm actually argueing why the stalker should continue to have a head, because it a)make sense from preexisting lore, so their is nothing wrong with it being in the game b)looks cool, and fits the DT aesthetic "theme"

This is your argument. Stalker heads a)Make sense from prexisting lore.
b) since it makes sense, it could remain in the game. c)BUT DARK TEMPLARS R SO STUPID LAWLS.

3) Go the hell back to school and learn how to spell and use proper sentence structure. It's no wonder why you're on here all the time making pointless arguments, you obviously failed and dropped out of school.

Right because on the internet, proper grammar matters so much?

btw I work a internship at a office. I post here when im bored, and Im usually doing other crap while I post.
