10+ Dimensions, string theory fantasies or truth?
So if someone says you don't know anything, is it a compliment?

Hitman: Blood Money
With respect to the deliver guy, I think his actions were more in response to the letter he received. He didn't want to take any chances that maybe the guy had read it or anything like that. His security is paramount!

He still had no problems shooting dudes in the face begging for their lives.

What happened to all the good space sims??
Have we found a new mod for the OE to go pillaging?

Masters in CS
Sounds like it's still technically a CS degree though, just with a focus in games programming. Naturally. Though any CS student that is interested in games is likely going to take those courses anyways. Though it depends. My friend works on tools at Bioware, and he didn't bother with a lot of those courses and it likely wasn't needed anyways.

2006 FIFA World Cup
Yes, I'm sure Baggio had no problems claiming the title of goat for all eternity because it was "Italy's turn to lose" and he was supposed to miss the penalty kick. Wow, you predicted a 1-1 score in a soccer game (I thought you had predicted 2-1 though). You must be a prophet! Seriously man...give it up. Yes the Australians got boned on an absolute crap call, but give it a rest.

2006 FIFA World Cup
Well, the Italians are tough. Their screams of agony indicate that they receive multiple career ending injuries a game. But they find a way to miraculously recover time and time again. I think the Italians (and the Portuguese) are superhuman!

Mr. Clean's ruthlessness really comes out at the end.

Pictures of your Games: Revolutions
It's not really a blood and gore type game, but it is certainly a violent one, if that's your thing.

2006 FIFA World Cup
So Zidane headbutted a guy because he was supposed to throw the game? You're looking for the things after the fact. Had you actually been able to predict it prior to the tournament, I'd be much more impressed. Ever since Australia got eliminated, you've been looking for evidence of a conspiracy. Look hard enough, and you'll find something.

Anybody looking forword to Battlefield 2142?
Outside of a few levels that have an aircraft carrier or something, I found that the uncapturable bases were few and far between. At least compared to BF1942. I guess there is more than BF:Vietnam, because I think they completely got rid of it.

I'm going to go Occam's Razor and say yes, it is a coincidence.

Hitman: Blood Money
It's probably slower too, though I haven't had a situation of a guy "checking my room" ever, so maybe it isn't? The only extra body is dead, and it's because he committed suicide. I'm not sure if something went wrong with your sedation or not.

What are you playing ...
That's what you'd have to do with the DD version. Obviously the convenience of the disc is still higher. If that's something you value, then DD isn't for you.

I just figured I'd point it out As for the DVD in the drive, that doesn't actually bother me...until I can't find said DVD.

Ugh...give it up with the lame conspiracy theory ideas.

What are you playing ...
Well, you aren't technically allowed to share with your siblings anyways. Nor are you technically allowed to install on two computers. If that's a deal breaker for you, then I guess that's that. Naturally they have to try to do something to stop outright piracy. It does come with the added benefit (for the most part) of not coming with the "malware" that people hate such as Starforce. The other alternative is the "limited download" paradigm that some online resellers use. Trymedia for instance, limited me to 5 installs with my licence for Eastside Hockey Manager. At first I hesitated, but then I figured that by the time I used up all 5 of my installs, I'd have likely gotten my $20 worth anyways (and I did...after 1 install). Still have 3 installs left. EDIT: Is this the Cthulhu game you were looking for?

Ok, hotel mission. Here's how I got mine:

Someone moving from point A to point B. And no, you can't draw that. You can draw a single instance of someone in time doing that, but to draw locomotion...that would be an accomplishment. Movies and whatnot are also done with still frames that take pictures of various instances in time. They don't film locomotion, they take a whole bunch of pictures of instances between the movement between both points. When shown quickly, our brain will decipher it as movement. But it's still just a whole bunch of still frames. Instances of time. Same with 3dsmax. When you animate something, you quickly display many still images. As for your Dad's educational background, I'm sure I don't need to tell you that Science is different from Engineering. On a final note, people are far too dismissive of the word "theory." It seems as though people think it means that it's nothing more than a guess. Most of science (as mentioned earlier) is simply a theory. Gravity, thermodynamics, etc.

That's what I was hoping with BF2 (since it existed in an Unreal Tournament game before), but they didn't do it then.

I hope they have some sort of useful means to try to discourage the lame "ninja cap" of some guy going miles behind enemy lines, and capping the enemy's rear base. I loved the node system in UT2K4. It sucks to have finally tipped the scales in your favour and to start making a push, but one guy decides to go and cap your home base. Now the offensive you just successfully pulled off must be done in the opposite direction!
