Exactly. We'd have to ammend the constitution. He said he'd be for that by the way when he was interviewed by 20/20. Why don't you put your thumb up your butt?

Another hint is it's where a zombie crawled up the ladder from below at you...if you go down there you'll find some health, and armor shards. The panel is at the top of the ladder on the opposite side of the platform.

What's the deal with this thread? I mean, really

His 19 year senate record is worse than Ted Kennedy's. He doesn't bother to even have a respectable attendance. There's a reason he's shying away from talking about that (and NO ONE in the press bothers to be critical about it either), and instead he insisted on talking about his Vietnam experience until he was blue in the face. It's also amusing that a war literally spit apon by the American left is now embraced in the form of this candidate, but he also won't talk about his testimony before Congress in 1971, and NO ONE in the press has bothered to talk about it either - in spite of how inflamatory and utterly demoralizing it was. Utterly amazing. He hasn't given you any indication he has any substance behind those "ideas" of his. That's why he's rhetorical. He even has a bad habit stealing Howard Dean's own talking points from before the primary - points he disagreed with when he ran against him. Also, everyone who supports Kerry and Edwards are suffering from selective memory when they forget about Kerry and Edwards publically saying the other wasn't fit for the presidency BEFORE they were on the same ticket. AFTER they're best friends. Find that odd? Finally, one thing I do like about the president is that he doesn't wear his faith on his sleeve. Remember Clinton's big "lets go to the church and make sure the press sees us do it" antics with Hillary and Chelsea in tow make sure they're seen going into church? Do you think if he was asked by the press if he believed in God he would answer as honestly as Bush did? That's a vulnerable thing to do, but I guarantee Clinton would figure out a way to dodge it. People don't "cling" to Bush because he uses the "G-word". They like him because he's honest. He's not shoveling BS at you. Now, you may think he is, but then again you've somehow missed all of Kerry's enormous pile, so maybe you're listening with the wrong ear. What's my life like? I'll tell you one thing: I take this war seriously. I have plenty of friends who are currently deployed. Their families need support. Some are married. Some even have kids. Where do you think they get the support they need? From their community. We don't spend a lot of time chastising what the president is doing, because it means demoralizing them. Finally... I hate to remind you but the war started the moment the first plane hit the first tower. Bush didn't START a war. He's trying to finish it. Therefore peace isn't possible until we win, because refusing to fight isn't going to stop anything. The war will continue whether we like it or not. ...and if your candidate isn't willing to do what it takes to kill these thugs then this war is going to go on, and on, and on.... The men and women in our millitary are willing to go fight a terrorist that wants you and everything you stand for dead. If it weren't for them our days would be numbered and the freedom we enjoy to have these little debates would be gone.

Every liberal I know have several things in common: 1. They hate the president...as if he personally did something to them so horrible he deserves their contempt - to the point they compare him to hitler, and call his wife a whore. Nice. So their strategy for voting in a new president is "anyone but Bush", so they're willing to elect a completely foolish, rhetorical, and completely out of touch elitist like John Kerry who didn't even bother to do his job as a Senator. They don't know a thing about him, or really like him, or really care. He's just NOT BUSH. 2. They get angrier and angrier the closer to the election we get. They spend their time plastering bumper stickers all over their cars, and making hand made signs to stick in their living room windows about how horrible their lives are because Bush is president - even though their lives haven't been affected in the least unless they go to the airport to get on a plane. Someone else has gone off and made the sacrifices they seem to be whining about. 3. They have personal convictions about being anti-war, but for some reason they have no plan on what would be the alternative except idiodic and ignorant ideals like "let the UN do it!" - they just know war is bad, and we shouldn't be doing it. John Stewart's interview with Charile Rose last night convinced me that even though Stewart is a funny man in front of the camera, and he denies that the popular media is "activist" in what he called "democratic" preferences, he admits he's still angry with Bush and the war in Iraq, and admits professionals in the media feel the same way. If the media wasn't actively anti-bush how do you expain the fake memos CBS decided to let Dan Rather report on?

John Stewart: was funny. Gets more and more "edgy" the closer to the election we get. Wonder why? O'Reilly: Sometimes obnoxious, but at least he's maintained the same level of editorialism. Limbaugh: Over-simplifies, but even if you don't like him he makes a lot of sense a lot of the time. Don't be angry, liberals. I know life is a horrible experience, but try being thankful for what you have and you'll feel all better.

What the hell do you expect? It's friggin asian for cryin' out loud. Since when is a watermelon fetish sexy? There's several minutes of my life gone forever.

You need something else to do with your time.

I know this has been beaten to death, but since Doom 3 came out the debate came up again with some friends about how Doom was an influence on those murdering thugs at Columbine. If ANY of you have this come up in conversation again and Doom comes up you can think about this: I bought a 1969 chevy pickup I planned on turning into my own little hot rod a couple of years ago. It had a lot of old crap in it when I got it home to clean up. Behind the seats, in the engine compartment, inside the doors, everywhere. From soda pop cans, to old quarters, and old receipts. What I found in the glovebox was a local Seattle newspaper dating back to 1953. Eisenhower was dealing with the Russians over something....and right there on the front page was an article about a kid who was caught with a gun he stole from his dad at school. He had threatened a bunch of kids with it before he was caught. Doom didn't exist. Neither did Marilyn Manson.

Remember the infamous scenario in Quake III when you'd insta-gib the Bones (the skeleton), and you'd get gibs anyway instead of just bones? Same thing when Orb would get it...you'd get normal body parts instead of a popping eyeball, and some legs...

Ah...IF this is the right place you need to get the dead guy's PDA on the floor. It gives you access to the first station, and calls the lift to it. Once it arrives you have to manuver the lift around passing through all of the areas until you get to station 2, 3...

http://www.stihlusa.com/chainsaws/MS660.html ...if the bar is on the left then either it's a brand that does that on purpose, or its backwards. I have 3 chainsaws and they're all on the right.

Jump through the window the imp broke.

Good question. Perhaps not only did the shipping department screw up the jackhammer order for chainsaws they're all left handed ones at that. Pretty bad luck for the shipping department. Someone's getting laid off when this is all over.

It helps if you don't have the attention span of a fruit fly. Bored? Gimme a break.

Gold star for you. The reason people get annoyed when someone says "help me I'm stuck and I see a door I can't open and it says sucurty (spelled wrong) station 1" is that it could be ANYWHERE IN THE GAME. Next time say what level, what you see, landmarks, bad guys you just fought, what you picked up, etc. so people know what you're talking about.

Finally saw what berserker mode looks like. First, it was surprising because I didn't know what the firey skull was, but once I picked it up and the zombies started charging I caught on... Blurred vision, high pitch screaming by the marine (which was pretty freaky and wild), and one-punch kills? Sweet... Any opinions?

thx :rolleyes:

3DRealms (makers of Duke Nukem) have had some problems. They originally licensed the Quake 2 engine to build DNF, but couldn't complete the project (due to various reasons we won't go into). When this happens and a development company slips a cycle they have to start worrying about whether or not the technology they've invested in is worth the risk of continuing the project while other engines are being produced with popular games. They didn't, and decided to try and license the Unreal engine - basically wasting whatever money they spent with Id and putting themselves in a difficult position supporting two different license agreements - one of which they couldn't use the technology but they were paying for it - AND probably torpedoing the developers at the same time. Remember there are a lot of games out there built on the Quake 2 engine. Id was extremely successful with it. If 3DRealms couldn't get their game built that's not Ids fault. ...and they still couldn't finish it once they got the Unreal license. When I found out 3D Realms produced Max Payne (meaning they used their capital to provide Rock Star Games the the means to build it) I started to realize 3DRealms may be getting out of the game building business and getting into the game producing business instead...however I have yet to see 3DRealms' name on any other games as a producer - including Max Payne 2.

Nope. Haven't missed it. There's a level where chainsaw zombies are introduced...you'll get one there.

Never mind all of this crap. How 'bout the fact that the beavertooth chainsaw starts on the first pull! My 36" Stihl has to be primed, and it's a bitch to start sometimes. I have to put it down, put my knee on it, and pull it until I pass out. It also drinks gas like a crazy drunk. Where are the gas cans of mixed fuel for the saw???...and once you hit a rock or something harder than wood guess what? Your chain is dull. Aside from cutting leaves you're not going to get through wood unless you sharpen it again or put on a new chain.

You're 21 and you live with your parents? Give them some peace. Get your own place. I also wouldn't advise throwing that kind of thing at them. Parents who happen to have kids around 15-18 when Columbine happened are now hyper-sensative to anything that involves media that might be disturbing (music, video games), or the idea of a kid being caught at school with a gun. That's probably why they "freaked". It's just a game. You like it because it's entertaining and interesting to play. Just tell them that and they might not be interested, but they wouldn't "freak" either.
