Take some Dramamine?

Who? /:-|

Some scientists think that one species can teleport its queen to safety.

A more accurate rendition is that Race-X are a canonical part of the story that Valve probably won't use.

But as said before, the rods don't become red hot until they're loaded into the bow. I'm pretty sure they don't heat up until he's taken his hand off them, too. Or do they come from an under-stock magazine? I can't remember...

It does? I feel sorry for your poor Shitless.

The sort the ants use, which sounds like the Psychokinetic sort.

I reckon you could go with a good ol' tricorn hat, maybe. Or maybe something like mine:

It's all part of the pulley system, but I don't think the in-game model is necessarily very accurate. Try looking up real compound crossbows on the net.

It's a compound bow. Compound bows use a pulley system with a stiffer bow to increase the amount of force behind a projectile while still allowing the user to pull the string back. [EDIT]: Look here: http://www.student.utwente.nl/~sagi/artikel/compound/compound.html

Okay, Software Whizzes, first question is: Does anyone know a good free website host? My sis wants to make a (probably heavily Linkin Park-themed) website of her own... Secondly, my mum uses a program called TurboLister to sell items on eBay, and just tonight it started giving her the...

Those gashes in the zombies' torsos are mouths, as seen in Half Life. Except that the HL2 zombies don't seem quite as developed as the ones in HL.

Terawaves (T-Waves), I think. They're close to infrared in the spectrum, and scientists think they'll enable us to create such things as cheap, Star Trek-esque medical scanners and weaponry-detectors for places like airports with much higher definition than the current X-Ray devices. And yes...

I read something about Tesla's weapon being an electromagnetic fresnal lense coupled to one of his tesla coils, creating a particle beam of beta radiation that was guided along a continuous path of low resistance through the atmosphere. Or something.

Well, that makes me think: What if we one day found a way of altering physical laws within a certain area? It's basically altering reality, so I dunno if we'd ever be able to do it, but it'd be nice to be able to select a region of space and say, "Okay, spacetime continuum, we're allowed to...

Well, as I understand it, E=MC^2 is Standard Relativity, which shows how much energy you can get from matter, while the stuff about apparent mass increase at high speeds is dealt with by Special Relativity, which uses a different, though related, set of equations. I was merely widening the...

The Gonarch, AKA "Big Momma". Seems there's more than just the one that Gordon killed on Xen. As for the latter parts of the headcrab lifecycle, they remain to be seen...

"Bubble" is just a descriptive term. What it technically is, is an area of spacetime which kind of... slides through the universe. Space is compressed in front, stretched out the back, transitioning around the sides, leaving a "safe zone" in the middle, which would be a nice place to put a...

WOOT! Bring on more Xonxt-based Ownage!

The basic idea, as I understand it: Mass rises with acceleration. As you get closer to the speed of light, your mass increases towards infinity, with the amount of energy required to accelerate you further also rising towards infinity. Therefore, the above theory indicates that it is not...
