Gamespot Crysis Designer Diary #2 - Multiplayer and Nanosuit Details

little bladders!

Spartans were the first professional fighting civilization. Their whole society revolved around combat; they didn't farm or trade (that was for the lower casts: the Helots ('Captives'), Messenians and Perioeci ('Outdwellers')). They will all have had the full amour as a minimum amount of kit. The 300 referred to as the King's personal body guard, they were called Hippeis!

We know about it, don't we?

Handy hints from Jim-the-resident-Shrink.

Kicking people with your leg muscles developed your arm muscles? :D And still playing Titan Quest. After so long not being able to play games much, it's nice to spend some time kicking monster behinds. Uh, when you lift heavy stuff like cars and elephants, you are supposed to lift with your legs. Trust me, you don't want to throw your back out when attempting to hurl a garbage dumpster at a bunch of hooligans. ^^ Wise words for all the budding superheroes out there.

Isn't that the one with the ? I like the concept, but that is a given since it was from a fantastic William Gibson short story; the film is just a little silly. Also: Mr Avellone's recent viewing of Spider-Man 3

Maybe her martyrdom would act as an incentive and shining example!

But I assuage my forebodings by remembering just how many Gammas, Deltas and Epsilons are needed for the cogs of industry.

That's like saying a restaurant kitchen is only hectic when there are a lot of people wanting to eat. Also, this: is a good Hunter S Thompson emoticon.

I also can't stand the trend to wear trousers / clothing of the lower part of the body with the belt several feet below the appropriate position, i.e. the waistline. I wonder how many actually know this started off as an imitation of the ex-convicts who had had their belts removed, hence their pants dangled around their thighs. Still, I guess I wore baggy jeans ... and now I see that flares have returned to vogue, after almost thirty years in the wilderness ...

You'd be hating a lot of animals (and plants and the entire cast of the decomposer stage of the ecological web, for that matter) if you were consistent. I am not very pleased with their propensity to empty their tiny little bladders whenever and wherever they are walking, eating, communicating ...

What about a petition to have her sentence commuted to the death penalty?

Does "nanamimi" mean "my legs and tie were viciously hacked off"?

I think early intervention is advised: decapitation should be effective at this early stage.

I saw a rat in the grounds of the Church the other day. Just wandering in the dappled greenery, making a leisurely pace across the graveyard.

Really? I thought that was a good exploration of the deterioration of society into a warlord-led might-makes-right scenario. Also it had Doctor Who.

Nice idea, but not really likely; that would be tantamount to admitting a mistake.

Yeah, the KotOR plot is actually a very good game plot.

I like the picture.

... Helped you move ... what?

A naughty word got through.
