    ...including the radar stations in Thule Greenland... Actually, Thule is pointed the other way and both are too far north. PAVE PAWS in Beale would be the closest candidate. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:NuclearWarningS ystemMap.png

    You talk about this like you work on the program. Are you a spy?

  5. Re:Ding, Ding, Ding on Future of Ritual, Sin Episodes In Question · · Score: 1

    If you enjoy games that tell stories (different from "interactive fiction"...still a game), you don't really have anything in the game world to choose from except the "novel". Do you mean like those old "Choose your own adventure" paperbacks that presented a choice and had you flip to a certain page based on that choice?

    "If you want to watch Alyx dance around the fire pole, goto Episode 1.1. If you want to hang out with Barney and drinks beers, goto Episode 1.2"

    That would be pretty amusing, lol.

    Don't forget velcro and space ice cream! Mmmmm, space ice cream

    I seriously doubt that Bill O'Reilly understands these things, but he does understand that if his "team" (assuming he has a team) scores more points than the opposition then his team wins and he feels good about having bragging rights. See, easy.

  8. Re:Money Grab on Half-Life Episode 1 Gold, Details on 2 and 3 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'm actually pretty disappointed with the new SiN. I know that I'm not paying the 40-50 bucks for a full blown retail game, but I expected more than what I would get from a demo disc. What makes this more disappointing is that Ritual leaned on the game engine AND delivery model that Valve developed, thereby significantly reducing the costs of development and testing. Unless they a) reduce the cost or b) make the episodes longer, they won't be getting any more from me. I'll also avoid the HL2 episode until I hear more from the those who bought/played it.
