Here's one I noticed, broken tiles on the ground shift and move under your weight.

COD 4's pre-alpha stage looks better than most game's gone gold stage.

E3 2K7- best. e3. ever.

Saying you cant find animaton in Japan is like saying you cant find food in Italy. Its simply not true.

2007-07-29 23:31:24

Pretty sure that you only copy textures if you have certain suit things activated: ie in statue mode you don't copy other textures.

2007-07-29 23:57:29

I think it prolly copies surfaces automatically, but that there are certain context sensitive things like the statue skin.
