:dozey: I recommend repiV you read more about Gender studies and also Philosophy. They are interesting and enlightening subjects in my opinion.
Have a bash at Judith Butler's Gender Trouble: Feminism and the Subversion of Identity:dork:
hmmm, i dont know if I agree with you entirely on that one. People do say I looked better without my glasses though! so fair enough!
I wore contacts for a good few years and had no major problems regarding comfort, eye strain. But I find glasses more practical (unless im heading a football, out...
I want a UK club to win:p but I've got a sneaky feeling Barcelona might do it again. However the QF draw will be interesting. Messi who is one of their key players will probably miss the quarter finals, the 1st leg anyway.
Arsenal are my pick to win it, but this is subject to change! I'll...
lol,
But can it seems be used in attempts to assuage people of trite, irrational nonsense.
Also statements like this stand shoulder to shoulder in the banality stakes. Hopefully my comments about Synths don't apply!
btw, I was in the chorus of 'When I was a lad' in the original run...
hmmm, why is this supposedly a very good test? or is it a rhetorical statement!? I want hard statistical data coupled with expert psychological analysis, please!
btw, (goes quite and cold)...I see dead people!
lol, cheers man. I did mean the Hunter and i've edited accordingly!
BTW, Yeah, i got the Orange Box guide a day or two ago and tbh i share your sentiments, as I do often with Wiki articles. But they serve at least a fairly(:P) accurate, rudimentary outline & resouce for most things I think.
I believe the enemies featured in the Prima guide and wikipedia described as either 'Synth' or 'Humanoid' are all cybernetic/bionic organisms.
"Fictional cyborgs are portrayed as a synthesis of organic and synthetic parts, and frequently pose the question of difference between human and...
Hmm, the wiki article I refer to here...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_humanoid_and_synthetic_Combine_in_Half-Life_2
States this
""Synths" are the current evolutionary generation of enslaved races gathered and assimilated into the Combine Empire during their interstellar travels. This...
lol, I was playing cricket back in secondary school and whilst focusing on catching the ball I ran into a concrete post. It was pretty serious, my front tooth split vertically, my two bottom teeth became protracted and pierced my lower lip (chin skin area), i smashed one of my incisors to...
100% true this, my mum who teaches Infant school/Kindergarten age kids had gone with her school to a theatre, to see some kind of Pantomime, along with classes from other schools in the area.
She told me that whilst there one of the kids (from another school) chopped clean off one of their...
Semantics seem to be getting the better of me again, but there does appear to be inconsistency in what you have written. What you have wrote below* seems to contradict what the Valve game designers/story tellers have led us to believe the Combine are capable of.

In my short tenure as a HL2.net member I'll use my 100th post (whay!) to commemorate 3 members who in my opinion have gone beyond the call of duty!

There was such a buzz about the 1st HL, and it was released a few days before my 15th bday! I'd not long had my own PC and I was really into gaming, but especially FPS's. I'd been reading PC Format for a few years prior and really respected their opinions about games & hardware, and they were...
These posts are surely a contradiction in terms. Anyway http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_humanoid_and_synthetic_Combine_in_Half-Life_2 states...
'Stalkers are human beings which have undergone extreme psycho-biomodification and serve as slave labor for the Combine within the central...
