The programmer who worked on the game wrote a letter to PCGamer that said he did all of the programming in only 2 weeks. Since the game was several months behind schedule, they had to leave a few things out. The AI was one of them. They added that later in a patch.
Of course it didn't follow the storyline. It wasn't supposed to. It was a completely new story that ran parallel to the events of the movie. It actually had several elements from the book (Do Androids Dream of electric sheep) that weren't in the movie. The interesting thing about was that each time you started a new game, it randomized a few elements. So you never knew if the person who was a robot in the last game is this time around, or if your own character was even human.
If you changed his job to Leisure Center Manager, that could be a perfect description of Gordon Brittas from the Brittas Empire. It was a British comedy that ran a few years back.
You know what happens to water when you freeze it? It expands.
Water freezes differently depending on how it's frozen. If you freeze it slowly it forms a crystalline structure that takes up a significantly larger space than before. That expansion is what ruptures the cells. However, if the water is flash frozen it doesn't form into crystals and takes up approximately the same amount of space as when unfrozen. That means that the cells remain undamaged. Flash freezing is the technique that is used in human cryogenics.
I would also be remiss if I didn't mention that Stephanie Romanov [populli.net] is right up there with Charisma. (Okay, so she's evil and wants to enslave the world to her demon masters, but who's perfect?)
Actually, I believe John Carmack led the group that threatened to quit. In the end they were able to make the game, but someone was fired in retaliation.
Run an electric current through some soapy water. Then just poke the bubbles with a smoldering toothpick. You could even let some of the kids hold the bubbles.
I think the.223 NATO round is 55 grains and moves at like 3100 fps.
That's the old round. The one that is currently in use is 62 grains. The 55 grain round spins when it enters the target. This increases the lethality of the round. The 7 grain increase was made to cut down on the spin. The idea being to wound the target instead of kill.
While at first glance it may seem like a bad idea, it actually makes a lot of sense. It is, as Baldric would say, "a cunning plan". The theory behind it is this: If you kill the target, you've removed one soldier from the battle. But if you only wound your target, you've taken at least two people out of the battle. Your target and his buddy, who now has to take care of him.

The games are still out there, you just have to go outside of the U.S. to find them.

"[Video games] don't make psychopaths, they just make them more creative."
My favorite, slightly modified, quote from a really poor movie.
Now that's something that'd probably sell really well. You could put it on a keychain like those little cans of pepper spray.
I prefer what's written on the bussiness end of a Claymore mine:
"This side towards enemy"

She's also dead as of the last episode.

No self-respecting geek would dare admit to not knowing the answer to that question.
