Actually, I prefer playing Engineer. Pyro is too in-your-face for me.

Oh, wait, this isn't a team fortress topic?

This is a very ambiguous topic. Fire is hard to talk about.

It's like talking about birds.

What are birds? We just don't know.


If I can type three lines without leading myself off topic:

Honestly, I like to think I have at least some talent for empathizing with people, but I really can't understand pyros. To me, it's just excited particles that like to excite other particles. Of all reactions and technology out there, it's a bit too simple for me. On the other hand, I love other forms of energy; RF and Electricity can be amusing because there's so much you can do with them, and much that has yet to be discovered. Fire is just... fire. ._. You can't go into depth with it,

Maybe it's just me. Maybe it's like showing pokemon cards to a yugioh collector .. but you get the point.

I think it's more about the enjoyment of destruction, not fire itself.

Look around you ninja i like the "thanks ants. Thants" bit rofl that programme is pure win

God i hope thats what you were refering to otherwise im going to look like a real plonker.

Fire is neat, but all you can do is burn stuff. It keeps me warm. Thats about as far as my interest goes. It sucks when you're drunk and its -16 degrees C inside. You're too scared to light a fire because you might burn yourself or the house down.

Thats really all i have to add ._.

bless you ants. blants

HOLY s**t NO ONE WAS SUPPOSED TO RECOGNIZE THAT.

._. I will now go be emo whilst searching for more obscure references.

Care to explain what the reference is from?

the point of an obscure reference is that people dont get it ninja but if you google the quotes you should be able to find it pretty easily, its just a science video series thing

My family and I have almost started forest fires with fire crackers. xd

lol, I did that once. We ran over to go put water on it. My cousin wasn't too good at aiming the fireworks after a mini-keg of beer.

it takes a while to adjust to the range of his hypodermic needle gun. YOU NEED UNDA HEALINGS?

I lit myself on fire on the friggin' bus for weeks. I could've gotten major suspension. In retrospect, it was retarded, but fun.

We used axe and other flammable sprays to light our hands, fingers, legs, crotches, shoes, chests, armpits and asses on fire. It's so fun to give someone a flaming middle finger XD

But I hate it when people just call themselves Pyros because they've lit something on fire outside of the woodstove. Some people are like that. This kid came in to school calling himself a pyro because the night before he burned his pants with a lighter.  

[Iconised Ghost]

lol that reminds me of these emo kids that hang around outside burger king in the city. They pretend to be all hard core by spraying their shoes with deoderant and setting it on fire. Its pretty pathetic. They arent creative enough to think of things like giving people a flaming finger xd

Interesting poll. Of all the ways I'd love to die, I can't think that fire would be one of them. I'd much rather be stabbed, shot, bleed out, die from a disease, be poisoned, starved, asphyxiated, ripped apart, or hanged. Maybe even freeze or be killed to death. But not burn up.  

[Iconised Ghost]

Why not? I mean, how does fire differ from some of those? I've heard that being burnt to death stops hurting after a while because your nerve endings burn away so you cant feel anything but im not convinced...but i would think that freezing was similar to fire in terms of pain? Unless you just fall asleep when you freeze...

Anyway, why not fire?

Seems boring and painful. I think the others would be alot more fun, and manageable on a psychological level. They say people who are literally severed in half are still conscious for a moment afterwards as they die. With fire, you're being overwhelmed and overloaded by sensory input, and would quickly die as you become unaware of the world around you. It would be uncontrollably fast, as soon as you had time for your brain to process part of it, you'd be much closer to death. Like a fly in your face, that when you try to swat away you get 10 more of. Very annoying. Other methods of death might actually be enjoyable, but being burned would be like being annoyed to death. I'd rather be aware of exactly how far away I am as I die.

So you want to experience death and process it as it happens?

But wouldnt being shot be pretty instant in that case? I suppose it depends on where you are shot

In the case of being shot where you died instantly, you wouldn't be aware of it AT ALL, which is very different from loosing awareness.

Freezing might have similar effect... I don't know. Read Into Thin Air, it's a biography by a guy who survives a situation on Everest in which several of his companions freeze from the exact same circumstances; and as the survivor he was aware enough to recollect and write a book about being in the state where most people would die.
