Though, my guess is they didn't implement their own heap and just used the a language provided one (not to say learning how to make one isn't worth while).
You know, I could list a long list of spoilers (the plant giving immortality is stolen from Gilgamesh by a serpent and Enkidu's ghost returns from the Netherworld)... or you could read these (it's just movies):
The real surprise was how many movies M Night Shamalamdadingdong made after Unbreakable/Signs/TheVillage. Personally, I liked Unbreakable (but I like comic books), however the movie did reinforce the perception of a gimmick director.
Don't say that, you'll bring out the pedantic posters pointing out that wasn't said in 2001 (but is in book and 2010) even though quote wasn't attributed. Oh wait, I guess that's me being pedantic... damn u/.
"Kubrick saw this scene and said 'we've found our Heywood Floyd'." - mst3k "Devil Doll"
We're so self-important. So self-important. Everybody's going to save something now. "Save the trees, save the bees, save the whales, save those snails." And the greatest arrogance of all: save the planet. What? Are these fucking people kidding me? Save the planet, we don't even know how to take care of ourselves yet. We haven't learned how to care for one another, we're gonna save the fucking planet? I'm getting tired of that shit. Tired of that shit. I'm tired of fucking Earth Day, I'm tired of these self-righteous environmentalists, these white, bourgeois liberals who think the only thing wrong with this country is there aren't enough bicycle paths. People trying to make the world save for their Volvos. Besides, environmentalists don't give a shit about the planet. They don't care about the planet. Not in the abstract they don't. Not in the abstract they don't. You know what they're interested in? A clean place to live. Their own habitat. They're worried that some day in the future, they might be personally inconvenienced. Narrow, unenlightened self-interest doesn't impress me.
Besides, there is nothing wrong with the planet. Nothing wrong with the planet. The planet is fine. The PEOPLE are fucked. Difference. Difference. The planet is fine. Compared to the people, the planet is doing great. Been here four and a half billion years. Did you ever think about the arithmetic? The planet has been here four and a half billion years. We've been here, what, a hundred thousand? Maybe two hundred thousand? And we've only been engaged in heavy industry for a little over two hundred years. Two hundred years versus four and a half billion. And we have the CONCEIT to think that somehow we're a threat? That somehow we're gonna put in jeopardy this beautiful little blue-green ball that's just a-floatin' around the sun?
The planet has been through a lot worse than us. Been through all kinds of things worse than us. Been through earthquakes, volcanoes, plate tectonics, continental drift, solar flares, sun spots, magnetic storms, the magnetic reversal of the poles...hundreds of thousands of years of bombardment by comets and asteroids and meteors, worldwide floods, tidal waves, worldwide fires, erosion, cosmic rays, recurring ice ages...And we think some plastic bags, and some aluminum cans are going to make a difference? The planet...the planet...the planet isn't going anywhere. WE ARE!
We're going away. Pack your shit, folks. We're going away. And we won't leave much of a trace, either. Thank God for that. Maybe a little styrofoam. Maybe. A little styrofoam. The planet'll be here and we'll be long gone. Just another failed mutation. Just another closed-end biological mistake. An evolutionary cul-de-sac. The planet'll shake us off like a bad case of fleas. A surface nuisance.
You wanna know how the planet's doing? Ask those people at Pompeii, who are frozen into position from volcanic ash, how the planet's doing. You wanna know if the planet's all right, ask those people in Mexico City or Armenia or a hundred other places buried under thousands of tons of earthquake rubble, if they feel like a threat to the planet this week. Or how about those people in Kilowaia, Hawaii, who built their homes right next to an active volcano, and then wonder why they have lava in the living room.
The planet will be here for a long, long, LONG time after we're gone, and it will heal itself, it will cleanse itself, 'cause that's what it does. It's a self-correcting system. The air and the water will recover, the earth will be renewed, and if it's true that plastic is not degradable, well, the planet will simply incorporate plastic into a new pardigm: the earth plus plastic. The earth doesn't share our prejudice towards plastic. Plastic came out of the earth. The earth probably sees plastic as just another one of its children. Could be the only reason the earth allowed us to be spawned from it in the first place. It wanted plastic for itself. Didn't know how to make it. Needed us. Could be the answer to our age-old egocentr
I don't know, having a polar bear would be pretty cool (for me, not him... I live in the south). I could give all the Coke (Cola that is) he wants, but I expect he would be a bit hot.
>> This is also why freezing pop cans is a bad idea. The opposite is true (for carbonated drinks at least) too - leave a coke zero in a hot car in the summer. That said, the expansion of a gallon of salt water wouldn't be noticeable.
VBS2 does have a lot of good points, too bad the AI is a idiotic; and the vehicle selection while huge.. try to program the AI to make tight turns through a realistic checkpoint. Which is asinine since it came with so many barriers and gate models.
I work on helicopter sims; this is ALWAYS asked for. There's always a place for different levels of realism in flight sims; from simple MFD only (no flying) to full up with circuit breakers and everything.

Actually, it's a helicopter.

No, no .. Insurance is Geidi International. Geidi Prime sells mortgages of course.
