Dogs are incapable of recognizing that a dog inside of a mirror isn't another dog?

IIRC, you never deemed KOTOR 2 to even be worth your money.

I have no idea.

Just like the Mozart babies. I give up.

No it's not. It's reacting to the mother's physiology. You could have a mother that doesn't give a crap about a potentially stressful situation, and one that becomes a basketcase. In both cases the "surroundings" are exactly the same, but the effect on the fetus is very different. The "brain" isn't reacting to anything. It's just being fed whatever the mother feeds it.

Well, you apparently can go from Crusader Kings, to EU2, to Victoria, and soon to HOI2 DD. I really like Victoria. It's economy is far and away the most complex out of all of their games, and it's fun building up your empire. It takes a few play throughs to learn how to really industrialize, but once you figure out how to get that empire it's a lot of fun. I have heard that there are plans to have a CD release of the expansion however.

We'll see I guess.

So you could go "through" the portal from the rear and be unaffected?

I can understand conditions arising beause of stress and whatnot to the mother. But you can make similar findings with respect to disease. People that don't suffer from stress are physiologically more likely to deal with disease more efficiently. I'm skeptical as to whether or not the fetus is "feeling," rather than just being affected by the physiology of the mother.

Is there any empirical evidence for this?

That one guy would probably be me. I remember my roommate and I were the only ones laughing when Cyclops suggested to Wolverine that maybe he'd rather wear yellow spandex

How would they be able to understand anything?

Is masterbation bad, as it wastes a whole lot of potential lives?

Right around then is probably when people finally start getting fed up. Will a game company still make a game for Vista only if the people refuse to use it? The problem with many alternatives is that they have a small installed base. Windows XP doesn't suffer from that problem. Unless Microsoft has a way to disable XP (which is when the fun really begins), I could actually see people refusing to use Vista. It's not like everyone jumped on the Windows ME bandwagon, so Microsoft can't push anything down our throats.

Why would that matter?

Is Microsoft so big that they could force people to switch to an OS that disables functionality that a lot of people already take for granted?

If I had a cookie I'd give you one.

this is a game. I don't think programmers ever think to include bullets into the physics engine that much. I would laugh at a bunch of guys cowering behind a wall when all of a sudden six portals pop open with a barrage of rocket fire flying at the poor guys from behind. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You are correct. Often times bullets are hitscan, meaning they'll immediately hit their target. Given that the only way to get the bullets moving indefinitely is to stand perfectly in between them, you'll end up shooting yourself. Even if the bullets aren't quite hitscan, they'll probably still move fast enough for you to not get out of the way. In other news, I remember making infinite rocket loop teleporters with Duke3D's build engine.

Does Company of Heroes have coop?

Trying something a bit different. High risk, high reward and all that jazz. Beware the Stuka! Oh, this is battle 3. When the Stukas come.

That doesn't surprise me. You alluded to it many moons ago.

Point your friends to this message board.

Terminators and Genestealers. The Genestealers creeped me out when I was a kid!

Heh, my curiousity just had me reading up about them on Wiki and Moby Games

The space marines definitely reminded me of a game I played, called Space Hulk, which apparently was taken from the 40k universe.
