  1. This guy says it's justice.
  2. It's not revenge...it's punishment. Dolph says you lose.
  3. Beksinski is probably one of the few artists whose imagery is actually on par with Lovecraft's wild imagination and wilder rhetoric. There is a definite feeling that if you ever saw Beksinski's stuff in reality instead of on canvas, you would lose your mind.
  4. The battle with Hydra was a low-point in the game, if you ask me. You'll see why. You're like an invincible superman by that point and suddenly you develop these magic powers that make absolutely no sense. Also, the dash for freedom just after it was frustrating as all hell. Just before Hydra, however, there is a part of the game that is simply terrifying and awesome. I won't spoil it for you, but it was probably my favorite part of the game short of that unarmed chase across Innsmouth.
  5. Que the Benny Hill music... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/arti...in_page_id=1770 Armed police swoop on fancy dress cowgirls with toy guns By LIZ HULL Last updated at 21:42pm on 18th May 2007 As gunfights go, it was something of an unequal contest. On one side were dozens of armed police officers assisted by dogs, with helicopters hovering over head. On the other were two teenage girls in cowboy outfits, with one toy gun between them. Not surprisingly, 19-year-olds Fatima Rupp and Holly Spedding surrendered without a fight in the stand-off outside a Tesco supermarket. But they faced several hours in police cells before Miss Rupp was cautioned for possession of an imitation firearm and the pair were released. "We were petrified when we stopped and they came screeching up and surrounded us," said Miss Stepping, from Harrogate, North Yorkshire. "There were four jeeps, two vans full of dogs, armed police, helicopters and they were screaming, "Where's the gun?" Our gun was obviously a toy, but the guns the police pointed at us certainly weren't imitations. They were scary. I've never seen a real gun before, it was terrifying." Miss Rupp added: "I completely froze and was too scared to move an inch in case they shot me. I had a gun pointing in my face." The incident happened as the pair drove along the M62 after a Cowboys and Indians party at Chester University. Miss Rupp said: "Lorry drivers were pretending to shoot me with their fingers. So I pointed the toy gun back at them. Everyone was smiling and laughing. Some were even pretending to die and shouting 'Bang, bang!'." An off-duty police officer failed to see the joke, reporting the girls for threatening motorists. Miss Rupp, who was in the passenger seat, said she realised something was wrong when she noticed six police cars on their tail. The girls pulled off the motorway and into a supermarket car park in Brighouse "We chose Tesco's car park to stop because there were lots of people around and we thought if they were armed they might be a bit more careful with all the public there," added Miss Rupp, a mother of two. A police spokesman said: "When we receive reports of guns being pointed at people, we have a duty to take firm action and that means responding with armed officers. "Imitation weapons are difficult to distinguish from the real thing, especially at distance."
  6. I think it's worth stating twice that Invisible War was pure balls.
  7. Surprised they're making another one after the last one was balls.
  8. I had a similar experience with a Porsche 356B, only I bought the damn thing. Bad idea. I remember you posting about that. At the time you seemed pretty happy about it and things were going smoothly with the repairs. Did you eventually get burned out / priced out on the whole thing? I had to buy a completely new front and back end for it because someone forgot to tie it down loading it into a truck. Then they needed to be installed, and then the whole thing needed to be repainted. I'm still working on it but I've made almost zero progress since I started. I did install some new brakes, however, and it's in the shop getting the engine installed. When that's done I'll have it upholstered and maybe finally get some real work done.
  9. Leaving a toddler home alone is one thing. Leaving one alone in a strange hotel room in a foreign country is another.

  11. Overreact much? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/arti...in_page_id=1770
  12. At a gunshow, I saw an LC Smith Ideal grade in 16-gauge for sale for well below the current market's highly overblown pricing. I took a look at it and handed it back, deciding to take a walk around and think about it. I decided I wanted it about five minutes later and returned to find that someone had already bought it. D'oh! Actually I have quite a few of these I could share, as well as some purchases I ended up regretting.
  13. But they were going back...occasionally...to check on them! In a hotel room, not their house, in a foreign country, without telling anyone to even watch the door. They're clearly great parents.
  14. Canada is on another planet? I knew it!
  15. This is going to end with Walsh going crazy and eating someone I bet.
  16. It's okay. None of our friends at Blizzard hold a candle to our number one chum at Obsidian, the J-man, and he's everyone's friend. He helped me move.
  17. My friend at Blizzard says your friend at Blizzard *bleep*s goats. My friend at Blizzard could kick your friend at Blizzard's ass.

  19. Mr friend at Blizzard says they've spent the last couple years trying to finish a really hard jigsaw puzzle.
  20. I was finally convinced that the erosion in my stomach had completely healed the other day when I ate some chocolate and didn't scream and cry in pain. Since it's my birthday I drank some scotch. I immediately regreted it. Damn!
  21. Yeah, probably not, unless he was shooting some kind of modern explosive tipped round that obviously didn't even exist in WW2. It could theoretically mangle it enough that it would no longer work properly. But since it would basically have to be a bullseye shot down an 88mm hole traveling down a straight narrow pipe without first striking the side of the barrel, and since the artillery barrel wouldn't even be lined up perfectly with the sniper's rifle as it would have to compensate for trajectory, it's just frankly inconcievable. Of course it is Hollywood, so maybe you could sell someone your idea.
  22. Spielburg probably figured that he'd pushed the limits of reality in his movie a bit too far into Schwarzenegger territory already. That or he didn't think of it. As for whether or not it's possible, who knows without trying it. It'd be a one in a million shot, but I suppose it could be possible to at least damage the warhead enough to ruin it. The shooting the sniper through the scope bit, at least, had a precident; it happened in Vietnam. But that was a one in a million shot, and it certainly doesn't need to be replicated in every single movie, especially considering that modern scopes are stronger and have been shown to be capable of stopping bullets before they pass even through the first few lenses in the tube.
  23. However, in half that time, I did see nipples, so I'm torn.
  24. In the fifteen seconds of gameplay I saw before the game crashed, I didn't get to reload any ammunition. I am very disappointed with someone here!
  25. I've been having a wierd stomach pain lately. I've had nothing but milk for two months.
