The next post must turn all of the a's, i's, e's, o's and u's in to any of these as the user wills: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0.

Uhm, I'd disagree strongly with Marc Laidlaw. The white scientist looks nothing like Kleiner since he uses the speech and model of the more Einstein-looking scientist and not the bald ones that Kleiner seems to be based on.

The characters were not specifically defined when Half-Life was released. However Laidlaw is the man behind the story, I'd say what he says goes.

Banned for being in New Zealand!

Last hope.

The next post must contain no vowels.

Whatever you do dont pick portuguese, irrational grammar

From what I've observed, languages in general seem to have inconsistent grammar in places, with English being particularly bad.

Weight.

It's impossible for me to send PMs, halp D:

I wonder if this has any relation to your browser not being able to download attachments on that System Shock forum...could your browser be erroneously redirecting you when you click things like the Submit PM button? What browser are you using? Have you tried a different one?

Colour.

I feel guilty not knowing a second language or more. It makes me feel ignorant. I really should buck up and stop being lazy and commit to learning at least one.

Banned for being unable to handle the truth.

Banned for also living in England.

Banned for not having a link in your signature!

As far as I'm concerned, they're canon unless otherwise contradicted by a future Half-Life game.

No no, the reason I'm unsure is because I vaguely recall some comment from Mark Laidlaw saying they were not canon. I'll have to see if I can find it now.

EDIT: It actually seems that Valve dodge canonicity questions and so on in general to avoid creativity restrictions in the future, so they expansions may or may not be canon. I guess we'll only find out at some point in the future...

For some reason although the forum rules have their own thread, they also show up on the 'Accursed Farms Related' sub-section, but ONLY that sub-section and none of the others. Is this intended?

Banned for having an orange name (hah! ).

Banned for breaking the cycle.

try making your lightmap scale larger (16 to 8, 8 to 4, etc)

THAT'S what I was thinking of when referring to shadow detail!
