When I was an undergrad, I once did it in a soundproofed experiment chamber while people worked next door. Thrilling, yes, but the flat sounds created by the acoustic foam detracted severely from the experience.

Yeah, gruyere is one of my favorites, and I can deal with a good peach pie.

I lost my Lucki Stipetic…
…and now my razor nicks won't heal right.

Mark is a fool's bet? What about this?

I know that Infinity Ward publicly promised to get rid of the problem, but it was still there in a number of areas. Most reviews of the game missed it, probably because they didn't bother to look closely enough. I was specifically looking for it while playing because it bugged me so much in the earlier games, so I…

I enjoyed the flashback level, too. The sound design was especially good, there and throughout the game as a whole. That groaning noise (you know the one) on the "War Tapes" audio setting absolutely shook the walls.

@DG: I hear you on those L4D glitchers, especially on Expert difficulty.

I guess I'm a bit spoiled by Rainbow Six Vegas 2, where you can actually work tactically with your AI teammates, e.g., breaching two entrances simultaneously, targeting specific enemies for them to take out while you concentrate on someone else, having them hold fire while you try to sneak around to a better position,…

Want an even more disturbing mental image? Rooney plowing her in his Mr. Yunioshi get-up from Breakfast at Tiffany's.

I'm comin', Elizabeth!!

It should be noted that there is a traditional kill-cap mode in BC2, called "Squad Deathmatch", which pits four teams of up to four players against each other and ends when one team reaches 50 kills. (I'm playing on Xbox 360 — maybe the cap is an adjustable setting on PC servers?)

Also: the medic class begins without any tools (medkit or defibrillator) and is essentially just a light machine-gunner until you kill enough people to unlock those tools, even though those same tools are what you are expected to use to gain points and unlock upgrades.

My take on the game…
Apart from snowmobiles, they also dis heartbeat sensors at one point. Girls, girls, you're both pretty!!

"No more country music, no more classical music… Only whaling music, thank you!"

No, it's Mummenschanz.

Not only done before the SNL sketch, but I have a feeling it "inspired" the SNL writers. The joke about spraying sterilizing agents from the helicopter (Scharpling) was replaced with one about spraying viruses from the helicopter (SNL).

How about Barney Miller Smurf?

You're allowed to have one…

Ahhhh, pop culture… Eases the pain.

Give "The Thing" a chance.
