Jesus titty fucking Christ. I tried using one of the glossy iMacs in an Apple Store and saw more of my face than the screen thanks to the fluorescent lighting above. Genius.

Note to devs, if you make a sequel, it should be better then the previous game. Why the fuck would I want to play an uglier muddy brown version of COD4, with shittier weapons? Who's genius idea was it to replace the helicopter with annoying dogs? I don't think theres been a more annoying feature in a video game then those dogs coming at you.
On a good note, thanks for allowing me to try the demo so now I know for sure I won't be buying it.

Keep in mind I love this game and think that the opening segments are some of the most awesome immersive game play I've ever had the chance to play, but I do think that Xen for one is severely overlooked in how shitty it was. Through Half Life 2 and the following 'episodes' they've expanded the universe and the mythos but I also thought that the G-Man was pretty fucking gay for the most part. It felt like a super cheesy and lame attempt at injecting/propping up the story with a simple parlor trick of sorts. I think after Half-Life 2 the Gman becomes much more compelling but the ending to HL1 left much to be desired.

Per wikipedia...
"The "traditional" gas giants, Jupiter and Saturn, are composed primarily of hydrogen and helium."
If we shot a nuclear bomb into Jupiter, would the hydrogen ignite? Would the whole planet explode?

I am only level 8 so far but like it, one complaint is that the graphics on the characters are pretty shitty. I am nobody for sure but i think they could have spent a little more time on the way the models look.
My only other complaint is that i like playing a hunter, but the mob gets to me after one shot of my arrow. The whole reason i like playing a hunter is to use a bow and when it only good for 1 shot thats kinda fucking stupid if you ask me. Basically i take my bow shoot it one time and then have to use my sword.
