I would feel like shooting their Micky Mouse gloved hand with a Remington.

I highly doubt it. I've found a copy of Halo floating around the internet and have been able to use it. While its very different from what it was meant to be played as (I have to do everything in code) its still pretty fun. I can only imagine how great it would be if I actually had a body to play it as it was meant to be.

I thought it might be dangerous for you to be out of TKC! wow, you even have a post out of GD! have u asked something about string theory?:rolleyes:
 
  • #28
I've actually been out of TKC a lot recently. I've been stretching my proverbial wings, and yes, even one outside of GD. I've been debating asking about string theory, but decided to simply search the web for as much information as I can glean on my own. Then I'll ask about the specifics I don't know.
