Granted, but now that "moderate fame" is infamy and that "significant fortune" is blood money.

I wish I had some Doritos.

Oh! I see a bowl of noodles with my name on it. Okay, I can do this. The guy on the left isn't looking but the guy on the right is a rogue element. Uh... Uh-oh, he's walking towards me. Stay cool, stay cool. Oh, man, this guy's a pro. I can't compete with this! I shouldn't have hesitated; I had it! Oh well, I guess I'll have to grab something else for breakfast, like some Oxycodone! I think it's time to go visit my locker, get some happy pills and make the politics here just float away.

10/10 -- Even for a "trap", she's cute.

"In the Mouth of Madness" was a pretty good movie as well, now that I think about it.

My favorite line still has to be from Episode 14. After musing about getting an elevator like the one that "descends into Hell", he appears at the first electric tram surrounded by houndeyes.

He just looks at the houndeyes and says, "Don't look at me."

The way he says those four words causes me no end of laughter.

Man, you're a machine, Kevin! Great work so far!

Sometimes, I dream about cheese.

I've seen "The Mist", the movie based upon the book by Stephen King which supposedly influenced the creation of Half-Life... but I couldn't get into it. The characters seemed to be pretty stupid, IMHO, not acting how real life people would act in such a situation. Maybe the book was better, I don't know.

Oh. Bye-ee!

My top 3 scary movies are actually in my top 10 movies of all time:

1. Poltergeist

2. The Shining (Jack Nicholson)

3. The Exorcist

Beyond those 3, some scary ones that I've had the pleasure of watching include The Messengers, The Others and The Cabin in the Woods.

And, while I'd classify them as horror, they weren't really that scary would be Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2, and Army of Darkness, with AoD actually also having a spot in my top 10 movies of all time. Also: American Werewolf in London was great!

EDIT: Funny story. I first saw Poltergeist in the movie theater. The movie came out in 1982 and I was born in 1977 (damned kids, get off mah lawn!). I was five years old when I saw it. Afterwards, for obvious reasons, I could not go into toy stores for almost a year because they had stuffed animals and they'd always have a stuffed clowns. You could not DRAG me into a toy store. Finally, I had to swallow my fear of the toy stores and finally realized that these fabric and cotton-filled things couldn't hurt me.

Watching Videogamesawesome's playthrough of "The Evil Within".

Not Brian Dennehy?

Here's an idea: The entry orbs detect the forward momentum of the entering objects and warp space at the exit orb so that you can cancel forward momentum without canceling the momentum of the entering object.

For example: You're going down the road at 55mph on a motorcycle. In front of you, there's a truck going 54mph. The truck has a ramp that nearly touches the ground so you can ride up it into the truck. When you ramp onto the truck, your forward speed, as viewed from a static observer (on the ground) only reduces from 55mph to 54mph, which is barely anything at all--people do it all the time. However, from the vantage point of a moving observer on the truck, you go from 55mph to 1mph very quickly. But the sudden change in momentum does not harm the driver because the forward speed isn't actually going from 55mph to 1mph; it's going from 55mph to 54mph. They proved this on Mythbusters.

This could explain how the exit point of the orbs could cancel momentum without harming the transported object, because from an observer outside the 3D space, it would appear that the exit point is moving at nearly the same momentum as the entering object. You're falling into the orb at 45mph? Thankfully the floor at the exit point is "dropping at 45mph" to allow you to safely land without harming yourself.

Or it's magic.

It's the work of the G-Man!

But how does the teleporter know to only transport organic matter by whatever means? This is a valid point raised by Ross. Wouldn't the teleporter start acting like a vacuum cleaner and suck out all the air because it opens to a tiny rock that is Xen, which has negligible gravity and no atmosphere?

There's gravity (or else Freeman wouldn't be able to navigate it, nor would the vorts, headcrabs, agrunts and Gonarch) and there's no reason to believe there's no breathable atmosphere in Xen.

I'm so glad you asked, DarkSaber.
