    since he did articulated jaws, and articulated hands are easy compared to that, (at least very basic hands are not that hard) i suspect they will be articulated.

    no joke, if you look on his youtube channel, there are a couple videos showing how the jaws are anamatronic. absolutely incredible suit.

    there was that one multiplayer map where you could drop about half of the upper portion of the level down on the bottom half if you where quick and did it before other players broke to much and maxed out the geomesh. that was always fun.

    I never saw a floating rock in red faction. But if you think that the limits in red faction where bad (and the limits where mostly to prevent murdering computers) you should look above at my post about red faction 2, where you had a bag of explosives, and 98% of the world was indestructible. (and the 2% that was breakable was not breakable in your favor, it was cover that evaporated after the first rocket blast)

    Wow, you hit the nail on the head there. I'd not put much thought into it, but you're right, that is one of the most aggravating things in literally HUNDREDS of games. "oh look this is going to be a trap" "oh look, i have to walk into it to make the game go on"

    Another example could be Red Faction 2. Original red faction, you could blast away walls almost anywhere, as long as they were not the 're-enforced-concrete' texture. this lead to dozens of routes through levels, and some interesting tactics in single player. Red faction 2 comes along, and literally, you where able to break walls in about, 3 places, up until the final boss, where all the walls you used for cover could be destroyed *by the boss* you literally went through the game with a backpack of explosives, looking for a place to use em, and never finding it.

    unless of course, your Albert Einstein, Galileo, Marie Curie, Niels Bohr, Ernst Ruska, or any number of other important members of the scientific community throughout the centuries. many of these people did not provide 'breakthroughs until well into there 30's, and most of them continued to provide useful advances in science well into there later years.

    you, your family, and friends, are *why* health care is so godamn expensive in this country. what? did you think that the things they used to render care to you where magically free? NO. the hospital is no just going to absorb the cost of whatever they did for you, they pass it on to other customers, thats why people get hospital bills where a cotton swab costs 15$, and a sterile gauze pad costs 50$.

  13. Re:The media need to call Apple out. on Experts Explain iPhone 4 Antenna Problem · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I enjoy many apple products. However, they do not shit rainbows and butterflies. I am aware that they, like every other company on the face of the planet, from time to time, produce an inferior product. Your welcome to your personal shit-fest about apple, but really, if your that butt hurt about the existence of the company, then go cry in a corner you emo prick.

    I want you to consider how shitty the home computing world would be if Microsoft never had ANY market competition. Imagine for a second how shit-tacular whatever OS we would be using would be if there were no competition between Apple and Microsoft. They are polar opposites in many ways, and wether they admit it or not, they strive to out do one another in the OS department. Without competition, the OS world would be a disgusting wasteland.

    Apple is damn sure not a golden god on a unicorn with butterfly wings like some idiots make them out to be, but your fanatical 'anti apple' stance is just as moronic. /rant goodbye karma....

    again, i ask, would a strip of non conductive tape (like screen protector tape or somesuch) on the side of the phone with the gap, preventing contact between the hand, and the ends of the antenna, resolve the issue? As i am not a iPhone owner, i cant test it myself.

    just because a parallel space is not bound by the laws of the speed of light does not mean that planets don't exist in the parallel locations. The way i always understood it was that hyperspace in star wars was sort of like crawling under the rug, the floor is different down there, but if you run into the couch, it still hurts.

    requiring that your pilot and ship be capable of flying dangerously close to black holes to shave distance off a shipping route is *lame*? your way requires the cannon to all be altered to change the way the ship engines in the star wars universe work.
