Riddick set to make a comeback
Chronicles cut major storyline parts from the theatrical release. My main problem with it was the bad guy was an incredibly tough sell. He wore ****ing plate armor and they tried to play him off as agile when he could barely move his arms.

I thought Gas Powered games was trying to make another RPG, not an RTS.

Armed police raid home after mistaking Lara Croft dummy for gunman
You don't need a warrant in every case. If the police have significant cause to believe something is going on they can break in. Anything from noises (screaming, etc) or viewing a crime through a window (unlawful possession of a firearm if they were illegal). This would not be an easy lawsuit to win in the US. I see this as very similar to what happened in Boston with the Mooninite lights that were mistaken for bombs.

Everybody is entitled to their own opinion... unless it's one in favor of Diablo. I'd revoke your ability to form and hold opinions, but I already did that once previously. Stop breaking my rules!

How do you automate an air drop?

They could simply be working for Ben/the others. Dharma never left, we know this from the pallet drops. Unless that's just a product of the nature of the island.

What are you playing now?
I will hunt you. Oddly enough, that's exactly what alanschu said, right before he stepped on my claymore. He's still my number 1 victim http://bf2s.com/player/43374929/ http://battlefield.ea.com/battlefield/bf21...=&Profiles= My sniper kills > Your sniper kills http://battlefield.ea.com/battlefield/bf21...2&Profiles= RAWR! I'm not quite sure how your 90 confirmed kills with a sniper rifle in BF2142 trumps my 257 confirmed kills with a sniper rifle in BF2. Please enlighten me. It's 560 total. There's 3 sniper rifles. You missed the good one.

Or the fact that Vortigaunt looks like he's using the DX 7 texture and your screenshots have been edited down to below even 800x600.

I think cables of that type are used for communication, if anything. Cutting the telephone cable to a place where there's supposedly no contact already wouldn't do much. But, I guess it needs power from somewhere. That seems a little too easy, though.

Piffle, maybe in your romance, but that's because you suck with fake women! I remember towards the end the one chick was getting ridiculously clingy and scary.

Is there really any kind of romantic resolution in the game at all? Yes. Though haven't tried it yet as an evil lesbian.- What are you playing now?
You should go through Jade Empire as a lesbian. Edit: EVIL lesbian- What are you playing now?
I will hunt you.- Who would you rather be?
I think the OP is more interested in the technical merits of the forms. Not in the force wielding or political power of the character.- Pictures of your games

Well real-world soldiers do carry knives for use in close combat, and I guess the logic would be that in the SW universe soldiers would carry knives as well. The catch is that SW is aimed at kids (of all ages ), so I can't imagine them putting knives in one of their games. The last thing LA wants is some kid play-acting a fight from KOROR using their parents kitchen knives. Replacing knives with swords in the games is, ironically, safer if only because fewer people are likley have have a Katana lying around. Thus the kiddies will either use one of the plastic sabres you can buy, or a cardboard tube, if they get carried away and stage a couple of fights basied on SW. You're seriously overthinking it. Swords are used because the add an element of diversity, are fantasy staples, and easy to implement. In a game where the player uses a Jedi, swords serve to balance the Jedi > Everyone by giving everyone a near Lightsaber equivalent. However, it's just not Star Wars. For your example to apply reasonably with swords being a knife substitute, then soldiers would have to specialize in knives and commonly run at their enemies from down a hallway, knife drawn, to slash him. The knife is first and foremost a survival tool with some combat application, not the primary weapon of any soldier. And I certainly don't see anyone with a double knife that is wielded like a mini staff.- Teachers stage fake gunman attack on sixth-graders

Obviously one man's biased experience is telling of the entire species. And this is nothing like the thinking that causes people to leave children in neglect situations. No sir, not EXACTLY LIKE IT AT ALL. - What are you playing now?
