Personally, I think too much religion in the home is just as likely to cripple kids learning.
Hey, Preacher! Leave them kids alone...
> Good, clean summer fun - aside from 'the scenes of maiming, dismemberment, clubbing, shooting, bayoneting and shoplifting'
Since when has shoplifting been lumped together with maiming, dismemberment, bayonetting and the like? "It was terrible your honour: he cut off my hand, clubbed, shot and bayonetted me, and then he...... he stole a packet of biscuits from my shop! ":o)
So, maybe it was many different shades brown, but it had a Trent Reznor score and rocked along on my P75. It was the first game I obsessed with and I can still remember the sensation of shutting my eyes to sleep and immediately lurching off into the endless corridors burned into my subconcious.
I completed the game, the add-ons and the mods around about the time that a beautiful thing came into my life: online gaming. Phwooargh!
The single-player game was widely criticised for its lack of originality, gameplay, story line, etc., but I loved it all the same. I loved the sensation of finding myself in a bleak landscape where everything that moved was trying to kill me. I can still recall cresting a ramp powered up with a quad, decimating a charge of knights with the super nail gun as the soundtrack peaked into a screaming thrash. Ahh... those were the days.
Scariest game? AvsP, for sure. Like the review said, 'Lights down, volume up, pants full!'. Next up, the crypt scenes in RTCW were well done. System Shock 2 had its moments, but then went all Half-Life at the end.
> Oh ya, one other thing,.... did you hear about the terrorist attack that killed 3,000 people?
Yeah, I heard that one, but I'm afraid that particular trump card pales into insignificance when placed alongside South East Asia and South America, doesn't it? How many millions have died there as a result of US interference in the name of the almighty dollar?
Get real: millions went before those three thousand, and anyone who tried to get justice for them found themselves staring down the barrel of US led or sponsored gunboat diplomacy. No death is any more or less important than another, and multiple wrongs will never make a right.

Hmmm, that reminds me, time to get the champagne on ice.

Can't think why they're putting money and effort into this project. BTW, anyone tried to find something on the IBM site recently?
