No. Capitalism = Free Market. When the government takes control, it is either socialism or communism, depending on the degree to which they control it. The U.S. has some socialistic programs, but not as much as some other countries. China and Cuba are full-fledged communist countries...

You have to say it with a Boston accent. Force-a-nature. It's the Red Sox thing.

I don't think a golden wrench is quite right for the Engineer. That class should remain very grounded in the real world. Give him a welder's torch as an upgrade to the wrench. 1. When building, it applies metal to new construction steadily, at a faster rate than the wrench. 2...

Humans might be diverse, but head crabs have a standard sense of fashion. Getting everyone to dress alike might be their ultimate goal in this world.

Did anyone in this forum play NOLF or NOLF2? Kate Archer is one of the best developed female characters in a game, and in NOLF there is a very well developed female nemesis for her, too. The first time I played Episode One, I recall reaching the point in the game where we are being...

I forgot to mention the many barrels of flammable material that seem to just be casually stored on every street corner, and in every sort of building and room. Oh, and crates of ammo and munitions. These are stored typically in public stairwells and in the corners of parking garages.

In the world of HL2, the world is dominated by alien invaders. Horrible alien monsters have turned most people into zombies. Overall the world has turned into a pretty crappy place. I am not sure what the exact chain of events were that led up to this situation. What I do know, though, is...

Here's a tip from someone almost old enough to be your dad: Very very very soon the majority of the women around you will become MILF's.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I have never heard anyone say any of this crap unless they were still in high school, and usually not even then. Then only trick with this scenario is that you and the kids can get attached to each other. If it doesn't work out with Mom, the breakup has a little more pain in it when you and...
