Awesome Motion Blur I Achieved in Overgrowth

You're looking at a few examples that contradict, but are ignoring the rest of what happened. First, lets delve into the rations aspect... Until recently (the last 100 or so years) rationing was necessary all the time, or you wouldn't have enough food to last through the winter. Just because we no longer ration, doesn't mean it's a violation of freedom to end up having to ration again. Next, the drafting... There is no draft anymore. That part of the argument is invalid in modern times until they reinstate the draft. (which is not likely to happen unless there is a sudden lack of willing personnel, but that would mean well over 2 million civilians would have to die first) And now, the economic redirection... Throwing money at healthcare doesn't make for better care, it just makes richer doctors and companies. Just look at modern pharmaceutical companies to see what throwing money at a situation does. You get lots of sub-par drugs with massive side effects, and doctor subsidies for prescribing them to patients over other medicines. Education on the other hand never really changed much. The military sends you through college for free when you go for officer, and makes sure you're high school equivalent for all others. The civilian institutes aren't affected at all. Lastly, the WWII internment camps. Those were directed at a specific demographic, and were in place because the freedoms that were enjoyed. It was either security against attack at the cost of freedom, freedom at the cost of security, or lock up one specific demographic for the duration. Not saying that it was good or right, but it was logical. When the government is focused on other things, (like war) they simply don't have the ability to focus on violating your own personal freedoms... It just isn't important at that point.

1200fps converted to 30 is nice, but try 60fps to see a bit more realistic to what your eyes see normally. -
Would've blown past the statute of limitations if it really was that long.

Camera twitch is very common in HL2 demos.

He killed a Gargantua too... I also think there were significantly more baby headcrabs killed, but they all died of explosive perforation intended for the Gonarch, and therefore are difficult to enumerate accurately. Oh, and what about all those poor boxes he killed in his travels? Who's counting them?

No thanks... Too expensive, unless it's a gift. DVD-A quality or vinyl quality audio?

At least I can hit something when I hate the government... Wait... There's nothing left but powdered house soaked in blood. Hey you! Get over here so I can take out my frustrations about the government on something that doesn't matter... You!
