I disagree. The vibe that I got from the game from the get-go (the trailer, waking up from a "detention" in a relaxation vault) was that subjects were placed in a do-or-die survival situation, so they had no choice but to participate as an only means of hope.

There's a word for things that resemble vaginas like phallic is the word for things that resemble penises, but I can't remember what it is. Also, that was mostly irrelevant. Regarding the "bring your daughter to work day," there's been an official Bring Your Daughter to Work day in the US for...

Well if she's on an unstationary scaffold, then as far as we know it didn't exist then. But if she's on a levitating scaffold, all that is is a hydraulic elevator with no walls.

There's actually a formula to figure out when a calendar will be good again. My dad figured it once, but I can't remember the numbers. So many years for a leap year, so many for the year after, the year before, etc. My speculation is that whoever went nuts in there just hoarded any picture he...

Yet it's the basis of ... everything. To put it in simple terms, take two stick magnets, and push same pole of one into the other. Feel the magnet pushing back against your hand? That's the same principle of the recoil exerted by a magnetically propelled projectile. The only difference...

Hey turtle, do you have a thread chronicling your progress with your project? I'd be interested.

Considering individual cards go for $2-3 at Hallmark, and about a buck a card is what prepackaged Christmas cards will cost you anyway, sounds like it's not a bad deal anyway.

Let's not forget that sustaining unsheilded fire will push you back, so there has to be a lot of momentum behind whatever it is the turrets are throwing at you. If you protect yourself with a cube, a majority of that energy is spent deforming the cube's side in the creation of bullet holes...

Zombie Turtle is right, to build a companion cube or any sort of weighted cube as an individual project, from scratch, would be quite difficult. I do have relevant information, though. This. All the corner/edge stuff has some pretty complex curves and angles. I was thinking about building a...

Did I misread "Portal 2" as "Halflife 2" or did somebody change something? I should stop browsing forums in the wee hours ...

One could expect Portal spoilers in a thread about Portal in a Portal forum, not Half Life spoilers. I half expected someone to make that claim, but I'm really surprised someone actually did.

Spoilers are nothing to joke around about.

Do you know how to use spoiler tags, ass? Thanks.

Is it bad that I'm thinking of doing that? On top of the speed machine I want to build, and the fire helmet case ... The cake, by the way, is awesome and made of win.

I think that "Though earth and than are gone ..." should read as "Though earth and man are gone ..." Good eye, though. I had not clue what the really smudged stuff read.
