I now own Portal 2. *Happy Dance*

In reality it's unlikely the natives would've been seen as "people." You don't get taken to a war crimes tribunal for bulldozing some rabbit holes.
Except rabbits don't use tools, cannot communicate in our language, do not have a culture or religion, and perhaps most importantly of all, do not look vaguely human. Just look at how people tend to treat our fellow primates (gorillas especially) with more respect and care than other animals.
*coughbushmeatcough* Though we might be getting a bit bickery, here. Maybe a dedicated thread for gaming scenarios re: primitive alien species encountered in exploration/exploitation/expansion efforts?

Then again... Soylant blue?
Yeah, sure, I'd post there probably :P

But anyway, yes some people eat primates. However, National Geographic and Discovery Channel semi-frequently make reports about how endangered animals are poached, which is treated almost like a murder case (especially when the poached animal is a primate).

So apparently there's a crossover between Phoenix Wright and My Little Pony.

I'm no fan of MLP...but I can't help but be intrigued o_o

Man, if I was expecting hostile natives, I'd have an entire cargo hauler dedicated to tungsten light poles, because nothing says, "Mine now." like the functional equivalent of the fist of an angry god.
Public relations, dude. Despite our increased murder potential, most people tend to frown upon things like murdering entire civilizations nowadays. If the Pandora company (the name escapes me) had simply bombarded the natives without even attempting peaceful cooperation (or failing that, precision strikes that leave as few dead as possible), they likely would have faced a war crimes tribunal.

The general pattern with summer is to release a bunch of new, summer-themed achievements for games, with sales on the games that participate. Completing those achievements either enters you in a drawing for cool stuff or earns you points to buy items like cheap DLC and TF2 hats.

I will grant you that Bolos are awesome. I'm just a sucker for pretty and chaotic battles, which a buncha missiles hitting the target from a few hundred miles away would not have been.

And I don't believe there are any movies like that. Remember, most filmmakers want flashy visuals, not shooting at something you can't even see.

Say what you will, I thought the final battles in Avatar were awesome. All that military hardware and gorgeous CGI. Especially since the blue dudes were getting the stuffing kicked out of them.

KS is amazing. It's a little shocking that something so relatively mature could come from the Image Board Which Must Not Be Named.

I don't think it's a ride. The tracks pass under a one-block-high opening at one point, a rider would get stuck or suffocate (I forget how the minecart mechanics work, exactly).

Besides, you don't want to keep all of that wiring and stuff within easy reach of some vandal. Best to keep all the mechanics out of sight as much as possible.

There's some awesome moments in the Modern Warfare series that get the ol' adrenaline running.

You can also try a 4X game, like the Civilization series, and watch as your unstoppable army/culture/technology/whatever slowly but surely take over the world.

'Ello again, Vector. The Progressive thread closed, but a new one has opened thanks to penguinofhonor.
I don't post there much as I usually just get into fights <_<;
