Probably to give those who've never heard of, much less played, the game something to grasp as far as a story goes.
The problem is that the first film's ending is still constantly discussed (SPOILERS:Almost no one understood if she survived or not) so as far a complexity goes it's still complicated for many people.

Because that way they can try you as an adult if you steal and they're not at the risk of liability if something happens to a minor.

Driving without a rear view mirror is annoying. :?

Mine decided to fall off between Thursday night and Friday afternoon. I got glue yesterday, but guides said to do it at 50-75 degrees. Well, been so hot here that even now it's 78. Just stuck the mounting plate on. Hopefully when I put the mirror back on tomorrow it will be ok. I've never had a mirror come loose before. Odd that it did so overnight too as opposed to while driving around over bumps or something.

Just saw this: http://www.lensoftruth.com/unearthed-tr ... s-trailer/

Wow, just... wow. At least Gameloft's rip-offs are well made, this one... not so much.

Lens of Truth huh? Sounds like something you'd name a conspiracy website.

Not really, except for the guy that always prefers the 360 version because he haves more friends on his Xbox Live account, now that's a conspiracy :lol: .

Seriously though I prefer Digital Foundry much more, but it's still a functional website with some interesting comparisons (They saved me from buying the PS3 version of Dead Rising 2, thankfully the PC and 360 versions are fantastic and the PC version runs extremely well).

People who drive without a rear view mirror are even more annoying.

I'm kidding. Why not just use your freeze ray to adjust the temp so your glue will stay adhesive?

My random thought: Giving certain women (and by "certain" I almost mean "every") advice can be tricky. My wife has been repainting our master bathroom for MONTHS, and still blames humidity on her slap happy work. I mentioned that it is not the humidity, but that she needs to stop laying on the paint so thick (lines of dripping paint everywhere from on the walls to the floor). She literally hung up on me a few minutes ago after I told her to "sand with fine grade sand paper, don't add any more "dap", and go easy on the coat".

"WHY DON'T YOU DO IT?" was the last thing she said before she hung up. Crazy thing is, I have always said that we didn't need to re-paint the room, and if she wanted to paint it, it was her project. She took on too much. and is taking it out on me. In short that means I'll be hanging out in my Men's Club not cooking her dinner, not doing her dishes, and will be awaiting her apology.

I won't be an asshole, but damned if she blames me for shit she screwed up.

I was still using my side mirrors and looking around properly. I just kept instinctively looking for the rear view every time first. :? I didn't drive that much over the weekend anyway.

Dr. Horrible said something about a 'hammer' and said he needed it all weekend. The block was still stuck to the windshield this morning, so I'll slide the mirror on this evening after it's had most of a day to dry and hopefully it will be all set.

$20 says you'll eventually be painting the room, which is what she wanted in the first place. She just didn't want to have to ask...
