This may be a reference to a girl called Brooke "Brookers" Brodack, who was recently signed up to some kind of talent deal by Carson Daly, who saw her on YouTube and "became mesmerized" by her version of the Numa Numa thing. Clearly, Mr. Daly and I learned different definitions of the word 'talent'. EDIT Oooor maybe not, since this article is from 2003. Never mind.

No, a rail gun is called a rail gun because it propels the projectile in a magnetic field between two rails. This is similar, but not the same thing.

Just in case anybody was wondering; Yeah, it's fake.

I am hearing mixed [word of mouth] reviews on this. Some people have said that it is awful. I don't necessarily trust the sources and I am going to see it anyway, but I didn't expect much in the way of bad press. [i still think it will be badass and I am usually right]

Weather control. That is the sort of conspiracy nut garbage I am not even willing to entertain. Another example of this is something I read the other day. It was a comment I read on Loose Trains, a conspiracy spoof blog. The comment was made by one 'InsideJob'. I expected there to be some conspiracy nuts replying, but I didn't expect anything like what he said. For anybody who doesn't want to read through it, here are the main points of concern: Okay, I was with him through most of this. Yeah, I think Loose Change is full of crap too. But then this: So now Loose Cha

The coils are electromagnetic. When they are powered up in sequence, the magnetic field pulls the projectile through the coil at increasing speed until it is shot out the other end of the coil.

Yes, but they were live-action and for kids. This is CGI and... uh... Geeks.

I lost fifty bucks on that guy.

Yeah, I heard that from the 100 Greatest War Movies a while back. Another bit of trivia is that the movie was taking so long to complete that it was nicknamed 'Apocalypse Later' during shooting, one of the setbacks being that Sheen had a near-fatal heart attack. Still one of my favourite war movies though. I give it seven rogue army colonels out of ten.

I liked Apocalypse Now right up until the last half hour or so. After that, the movie sort of degenerates into madness, which is the point, but it just felt like they were trying to end the movie fast. Which they were.

ADRIAAAAN!

Hmm. Not bad. I have, however, seen that movie, so I guess I will go and die somewhere.

That depends on whether or not you have a problem with watching a bewildered Bill Murray walk around Japan for ninety minutes doing next to nothing. That said, I thought it was okay. 6/10. So anyway, don't keep us in suspense about the top movies. I would wager Apocalypse Now and The Godfather are in there someplace.

It says in the article that it is a place on the Chinese/Indian border.

Well, if you want another explanation then I hope you find it. However, are you denying that 19 floors of skyscraper collapsing onto lower floors is going to expel a pretty large amount of air and dust with a pretty significant amount of force? (EDIT - while I am on the subject) ...And that the resulting force of that falling section is more than enough to collapse the floors below it, building energy as the falling mass increases with each collpasing floor.

The scientific explanation (as described in the Popular Mechanics article) is simply that when the floors started to pancake, they pushed all of the air out of floors beneath as they came down, which created rushes of air and dust.

. Dont think it takes much does it? laugh.gif No ones attacking the press!? The president, not the press.

Irish Gypsies.

Thanks for that, Professor.

I believe that area was the roundabout on Paseo de la Reforma where the Angel of Independence statue is located. I think that location was recreated pretty well. Is this the thread you mean? Xbox shot

If they had presented the facts in the first place, people wouldn't have to go looking for them.

...Yeah, so what? The discussion was initially (somewhat) in reference to GRAW, but after a few pages the topic changed exclusively to Crysis. Everyone who was posting in the thread, including the original poster, said it was cool to move the thread to a more relevant forum. Save your conspiracy theories for Bill Gates and Ubi.

It's pretty far from dead. The community is large and bustling. Some mod teams have started devoting their time to ArmA, but the mod community is still kicking out new addons pretty much every day. You can get the GOTY edition for peanuts. If you are turned off by dated graphics then it might not be worth buying, though there are several addons and mods that are devoted to making the game look better.

Look at the time you have wasted today making two identical threads within twelve hours, both whining about the same hashed and rehashed complaint. Jesus Christ. Go outside.
