Re: New mod XInstaReap - now available to everyone!

Bumpity bump, I never saw this mod until last night and while my friend is able to play fine, I keep getting kicked from this mod for "cheating or lagging" at the exact moment I fire my first shot.

Re: The Big D gets a GameSpot feature

^That's a risk I'd certainly take. A couple of friends and I messed around with a dev kit and unity and made a simple 6DoF environment. It was probably the first time a video game has ever given me motion sickness.

Re: Countries scaled by GDP

I did notice that the map is apparently from 1995. I'm a bit curious what it's like now.

Also the US's size confuses me because it has both the continental US and Alaska (no love for Hawaii). So the size for the US would really be the combined area of the continental US and Alaska on the map?
