I detect sadistic tendencies here. You should play FPS games instead to make the politicians happy

This thread is still going on? Geez, and gamers wonder why people think they are nerds.

All that needed to be said for this thread was this: It's a game. End of. Finito. Omega.

It's still going on, but the science stuff is pretty much over. Now it's just YATTIOTN (Yet Another Thread That Is Off-Topic Now)

How can Ghost Pirate LeChuck exist, let alone PUNCH Guybrush into the sky? >_>

I don't think gamers are nerds at all. Maybe geeks, and even then it depends on the genre. It's not hard to be surprised by how many dumb gamers there are, and I hardly think nerds fall within the definition of dumb.

And really, are gamers surprised people think they're geeks? Are they really?

Just because it's sci fi doesn't mean there can't be some ground rules. I mean for gods sake, Guybrush can hold his breath for 10 minutes. Everything has a reason to it. The only reason I can imagine they would make pyrite meltable is because it was manipulated by the voodoo lady--and that's it.

In real life, can't you place pyrite in a vacuum and pull it out before it boils? Voila - molten pyrite!

I did notice it was sulphur yellow but didn't think anything more of it, considering I've played Indy2 recently (where you had to drop molten lava into an ancient machine to get a precious metal back).

I was more upset I was being forced to kill off a character I've grown very fond of. So I was very relieved at the end to see the merleader resurrect it.

If we really need an explanation as to why we were able to melt pyrite on an ancient open air grill (which we don't), I don't think we need to look further than the Voodoo Lady. She foresaw our need and used her voodoo powers such to manipulate science. I thought it was quite funny to see a flat yellow turtle squawking "It's me, Guybrush Threepwood: Mighty Pirate!"
