  1. A group of five Satanists take up residence in an apartment building and hijinks ensue. Starring Adam Sandler, Tom Green, Andy Dick, and led by husband and wife Sacha Baron Cohen and Lisa Lampenelli. The movie is banned in several countries.

  2. danielsangeo strolls casually up the hill and makes a grabbing motion at Humin's face. He brings it back, his hand a fist and his thumb between the fore- and middle-fingers. He shouts, "Got your nose!" and proceeds to throw the "nose" away from the hill.

  3. An up-and-coming bohemian by the name of Felix captures the heart of pre-Depression America. Nicknamed "the Cat", he leads a group of people to eschew modernism and embrace art. He is ultimately killed during the Depression when a Wall-Street exec commits suicide by jumping out a window and lands on him. "Felix the Cat" is remembered in the hearts of bohemians, beatniks, and the hippie movement for years to come.

     

    ParaNorman

  4. That stuffed clown at the end of your bed isn't plotting to strangle you in the night, Freeman. You're just being paranoid.

    A man wearing a hockey mask isn't going to endlessly stalk you with a machete, Freeman. You're just being paranoid.

    ..what else...?

    Homicidal maniacs that haunt your dreams can't actually kill you, Freeman. You're just being paranoid.

    That Good Guy doll isn't possessed with the spirit of a murderer, Freeman. You're just being paranoid.

    Just because someone asks if you "want to see something really scary" on a deserted road doesn't mean that he's going to turn into a demon and kill you, Freeman. You're just being paranoid.

     

    (Anyone ready for horror movie month?)

     

    Oh, and:

     

    There are no beasts from Hell in the Miskatonic Tunnel, Freeman. You're just being paranoid.

  5. My explanation is simple and has a fairly sensible in-universe explanation. Part of the HEV suit is a mini-portal (kinda like these). Gordon can place the weapons into the portal where they're stored for easy access in a secure room somewhere. All Gordon has to do is to reach into the portal and grab the weapon he wants.

  6. Yeah, I really hated that section of the game. So tedious, trying to make your way along the cliff, trying not to fall off while battling HECU and turret guns... Ross expressed the same frustrations I had (Paraphrased: "I'm afraid to sneeze but HECU are sprinkled all about") with that section. The rocket launcher makes up for it, of course, but still.

     

    At the scene where you approach that ladder at the extreme edge of the cliff ("AAAAH! AAAAH! AAAAH! AAAH!") just makes me curl my toes (literally) in anxiety. Hit the ladder at a wrong angle and you rebound off to your doom. Splat.

     

    Guess Valve accomplished what it set out to do with that area of the game.

  7. I took your list and did some totaling.

     

    Alien count (Xenian creatures not counting headcrab zombies): 255

    Human count (HECU, black ops "ninjas"): 85

    Roaches: 21

    Headcrab Zombies: 22

    Barney count: 2

    Destroyed machines (turrets, helicopters, etc): 5

    Freeman count: 1

     

    Grand total: 391

     

    I didn't count the scientists falling in the elevator at the beginning because that was not Freeman's fault (unless you want to count all the deaths as a result of the resonance cascade as Freeman's fault, but then the number becomes unknowable).
