Russians just can't close their left eye?

At least quote the author of the tweet ! https://twitter.com/fvrmvn/status/762707914809311232
JonathanHoag
OP did quote the author! OP did not give credit ;)

oh man those lips are made for kissing...

that's the witcher emblem on her left eye.

shooting one of the only sports u can barely dope
fitlex
They take beta blockers and stuff to have steadier aim, or would if they could
rncd89
But the Witcher writer is polish
TheShadowLloyd
And? The Polish are Slavs, just like the Russians.
awkweirdaww
Well, his books are quite popular in Russia. In the 90s they were almost as big as Lord of the Rings

More like a Guy Ritchie movie character.
Redmancometh
This seems more Tarantino to me. Guy Ritchie's characters usually aren't this weird. They have weird (sometimes daark) quirks, but (1/2)
Redmancometh
they're relatively normal. Outlandish as this is it looks like a Guillermo Del Toro prop that got smuggled off a set.
abonetwo
Do men and women compete together in shooting? If not, why not?
glutenfreetoast
1. Olympics no, tradition 2. Different rules for equipment (weight/design) and course of fire. 3. In the US yes through collegiate level.
JonathanHoag
Thank you for your concise and complete answer.
ClarkKentfield
Is that a Blockbuster card on the side of her face?
dantheman3642
In Soviet Russia, drugs do not make better shooters, shooters make better drugs!

I wish there was a way to type with a Russian accent.
SmokieMcBongwater
If there was, I so would have used it!
Spartinlimit
For fucks sake Russians always using aim bot
omnomnomnomnomnomnom
so THAT'S how they beat us in the Bloodbath of B-R5RB
glutenfreetoast
Wasn't that because one guy didn't pay sov bill and then decided to focus fire on the ship specifically built to tank damage?

Any Dexter fans should recognize her nails
ratfaceddog
Yes. They're finger nails.
gogetahaircutyadamnhippie
I just finished the entire series last week. The last few were hard to get through IMO..
Thesmellofgoblins
Wrong colours and order to be dexter nails.
gogetahaircutyadamnhippie
You know the colour and order of that weirdo hand? Wow you are really a fan.
Thesmellofgoblins
Yeah. Red/pink, yellow, purple, orange and green. Done my nails like that a few times is all :)

further evidence for the argument that she is the greatest character
Raz0rking
Or a huge nerd that happens to be a pretty good shot...or vice versa
gogetahaircutyadamnhippie
awwwwww NO I fuckin" loved Batista and Deb.
WholeLeeSmokes
This is because she is obviously a Bond Villian and not associated with Tarantino.
Treblaine
Wasn't Tarantino going to direct a Bond film once.
ProbablyNotAnActualElephant
I'd watch the hell out of that.
KuistiPanu
*with thick russian accent* No mister bond, I expect you to die!

So a character from a good writer then?

Anyone know the story behind that charm thing? I'm really curious now
AngryArmour
What charm thing? The wolf? http://witcher.wikia.com/wiki/Witcher_medallion
ReadOnlyMemories
The Loupe eye glass changes the depth of field, and the blinders stop too much light entering the eye and remove other external distractions
Redmancometh
Oh I meant the device as a whole. It looks like something out of a steampunk apocalypse game.
ReadOnlyMemories
It does yeah :)
Iworktosavethetatas
Otits
Flawless planning. Also know what a blue light driver may be?
SaltyInternetPirate
People putting police-lights on their car, pretending to be a vehicle with emergency status. Means you have to make way for them.
somethingmeaningfultosomeoneatsomepointintime
Ivanka "The Wolf" Kuznetsov.
Seiken3
This made me chuckle - in a good way. On you go.
JonTBirbman
I read that surname as "Kuts-nutz-off"
AZRAELSBLADE
Not too far off how it would actually be pronounced.
diabLoDesignz
Explains the Witcher logo.
omnomnomnomnomnomnom
I always did enjoy that surname.
Keydan
*Kuznetsova, in Russian - words have genders and endings change depending on if it's a he/she/it. Common mistake for non-speakers.
omnomnomnomnomnomnom
Makes sense to me, and I'm a non-speaker. The romance languages are the same way.
somethingmeaningfultosomeoneatsomepointintime
Blame Google. I just searched for common Russian surnames.
Keydan
I thought so, also it's pretty much the Russian equivalent of Smith.
danvolodar
Aaaand Ivanka is not a Russian female name.
Keydan
Definetly not popular in any shape and form. But i bet you'll find plenty of Russian girls with Ivanka as a first name. But it's exotic.
guntbagmunkball
CONTEXT?
DragonDrew
It is useD to narrow their vision in competition pistol shooting. The Chinese often don't use these - https://youtu.be/YvCfVkKZiO0?t=56s
SchmuseTigger
It looks badass to see the Chinese guy just having no glasses or enhancements and just shoots.
dandeman321
Holy shit, what is up with the dude's arm at 8:03?!
vitfall
Chicken wing. Nah, it's just a weird alignment I would assume. He seems totally capable so it may be the shape of his muscle.
VBong
Elbow locked to the extreme!
guntbagmunkball
That's weird as fuck. How is that not performance enhancing extras?
JLPDayton72
No shit - I could be an olympic "shooter" with that kind of help. I call BS. And while I'm at it...why is water polo even a thing?!?
YoullBePerfectWhenYoureDead
And yet you're not and the competition was actually competitive.
JLPDayton72
*sigh* I was just saying that help like that nullifies the competition
KeeleonOhms
Ya like why can't they use arm braces?
DragonDrew
Because the grip of the gun acts similar to a brace which cuts down felt recoil. These guns also shoot .22LR which has very minimal recoil.
KeeleonOhms
I mean a brace that holds the arm up at the shoulder. Where's the limit on performance enhancing?
ThisNumberHasAName
She's definitely got the Russian tracksuit for it.
chriswihu
it's almost like they're born with them
Femail76
It's not Adidas....
FuttBuckit
It seems she has the cheeki breeki too
ThisNumberHasAName
ANNUUUUU!!!
Redmancometh
Scrolled through this for the third time before I realized you meant one that says "Russia" on it

Tracksuit, flat cap, both feet on ground, wasteland, but no booze or ciggy...8/10, solid work but keep improving.
crackingbampot
6/10 it ain't even a bloody Adidas tracksuit. This looks like a shady Aldi-das one
ClumsyArcher
Based on the Wolf medallion over her eye, I'm assuming The Witcher is very important to her training
bluemicerunning
Wait that's not sniper Wolf about to take out snake?
trololandialolololol
She passed the Trial of Grasses
NGAAHH
I recently played Witcher 2, now reading the books. They are great. I can't wait to play Witcher 3.
WingKongXchange
My medallion is humming.
ANerdsMind
A lesson can be learned from EVERY Witcher novel character.
CommanderCaribou
Think I saw an Asian lady with the wolf head on her hip
zackfair808
I think she has one on her pants as well.
AgamemnonsMemes
She has the wolf medallion hanging from her belt, yeah.
flangellotin
If you look at the witcher facebook page they actually credit her for representing the witcher
Palfrost
Or a witch and she kills witchers for training. In Soviet Russia....
Anonsy
At first glance I thought that was Sinistar
Sildroni
"I hunger!"
Anonsy
BEWARE, I LIVE

The official Twitter account for Witcher thanked her: https://twitter.com/witchergame/status/764066074018971649
churba
The side panel also has American Mcgee's Alice drawn on, and she wears a Witcher Medallion on her belt while competing as a lucky charm.
TheGhostofElizabethShue
Those damn Russian athletes on mutagens, ruining the sport.
Derfalke
Not to mention those potions they drink. I wouldn't be surprised if they found blizzard in her system!
xellbe
She probably is a fan. Lotsa Witcher bits: http://kotaku.com/the-witcher-makes-surprise-olympics-appearance-on-an-a-1785187555

It should be important to EVERYONE'S training

aPokal
Given that the witcher is based on east European/Slavic mythology, i bet it's very, VERY, popular over there.
SemkeHG
Not really, its more about basketball and vodka
KeeleonOhms
What about the nerds tho?

shut the fuck up, IT IS

You forgot squatting.

The president of Poland gave a copy of the witcher (game) to Obama as a gift.
Kingjulian5293
i dont believe you. i need sauce

Google it, there's like a million news articles about that and Obama's comments about the game on his return visit.

The games are based on a series of books written by polish author Andrzej Sapkowski. They are indeed very popular in many Slavic countries.
gumdumpster
Nvmd.
gumdumpster
What's the name of the books? I'm gonna look up the author but I'd love to just skip to the good part.
zendemion
Depends on what do you mean. The whole cycle is called 'Wiedźmin' meaning Witcher. The first book of the cycle is called 'The last wish'.
zendemion
It's just a bunch of little stories though, just like the Edge of Destiny. The book opening saga for real is Elven Blood.
CaboosetheteamkillingFucktard
I'm literally playing W3 right now. Fucking Amazing.
Pinklestein
That's amazing!
AlwaysTrustTheManInABigWhiteVan
1/2 Anyone else think that the books were otherwise amazing but ::SPOILER::
AlwaysTrustTheManInABigWhiteVan
2/2 the last book and the ending were too "happily ever after" basic ending and not dark witcher style enough?
Sheepyhead
I'm only about halfway through the Last Wish and it's amazing
AlwaysTrustTheManInABigWhiteVan
That's the best book in the series imo. Got me hooked instantly.
Sheepyhead
Same. I haven't been this into a book since I found the Dresden Files
Pinklestein
Amazing!

It's called precharged pneumatic, bottom tube is 3000 psi air chamber.

If you meet Bhudda on your travel, this gun will kill him good

I wonder if there are movies made in Asia where some Asian chick travels to america to get a legendary american gunsmith to make a new gun?

"You must have BIIIG rats, you need Smith and Wesson steel."

Not quite the same, but in "The Man In The High Castle" the victorious Japanese import ornamental American handguns.

They did something along those lines with A Warrior's Way and that was legitimately the second worst movie I have ever seen in my life. ;~;

Colt? Smith & Wesson, son.

That ... sounds pretty awesome, actually.
