'Different' as in smoother, 'different' as in jerkier, or 'different' as in backflipping-across-the-surface-taking-advantage-of-reduced-gravity? ...Damn Slashdot and my impressionable mind for making me raise my standards too high!
IIRC, there was a fan-based mod of Half Life which went on to be sold as a standalone game in its own right (can't remember the name -- like a western in space or something).
Gunman Chronicles!!!
Oh, you bastard. Now I'm going to have to find that game again.
"I recently had to write code in a hot dusty room for 20 days with temperatures near 107F (~41C); having nothing to sit on; a 64 Kbps inconsistent internet connection; warm water for drinking and a lot of distractions and interruptions."
$4 per gallon? I really don't understand how Americans can complain about that.
Those of us living in the land of tea-drinking and monarchy would frankly kill for it.
"Welcome to Central Industrial. Part of Correctional Services' rapidly expanding network of new-generation facilities dedicated to the future of humane containment!"
Ultima Regio Reginum? (Or something to that effect)
This puts the amount of Snow Crash references to...3, this post included?
Seriously, though. With the combination of Scientology's religion based at sea, sailing from coast to coast, and this Google idea, should we be scared of the two becoming one? Not to mention the current world economic 'issues' the news report on constantly now.

"Nothing you need to worry about, Gordon. Go ahead."
Hmm, is anyone else at all reminded of the CIC from Snow Crash? Being paid to go around and find information that someone 'may' be interested in, one day? The only difference is that you won't be paid per hit that the store you scoped out gets, though that could work too, i suppose.

Magic ink marker pens?
If D&D has taught me anything, it's that thieves are not without ethics. They just have a great flexibility about them.
I previously believed Swine Flu was created by pigs to get revenge for people eating too much bacon. Now it's confirmed. Can I have a Nobel Prize now?
It's not easy, but it's possible. Tell me, do you have any goats blood and virgins nearby?
I agree. Hit by a meteorite, late for school AND ginger?

Pringles with holes in? We're doomed!
Personally, I just want New Reno to feature somewhere again.
Seriously folks-- does the sound of someone beaming down terajoules from the sky make you just a little bit nervous?
I'm sure this was used in Gears of War, wasn't it?
