Persistent gaming questions

[subject_87]

Ask your questions relating to games that you've never found an answer for and keep bugging you. I have two:

In HL2, how did the Combine ever take over Earth when they think that it's a good idea to cluster around explosive barrels, rappel down directly in front of speeding vehicles, and stand on platforms that collapse at the slightest impact?

and

In Frogger, why the hell does water kill you? You're a frog, for goodness sake.

So, your thoughts?

Frogs would drown in too deep of water. They are mostly land animals but need to stay wet, I have a toad and a frog so I know

Also, why are all the super terrible terrorist orgganizations stupid? They have huge flaws in their plans, armor, and always have defectors.

Why must I always kill Russians?

if Goombas are so susceptible to death by head-stomping, why don't they learn to wear helmets?

Some do

Why must I always kill Russians?

because most games are american and they don't like the people they lose/tie to.

I see what you did there, but posting just a picture is generally bad form.

It's not the Combine who are being miraculous idiots, it's the humans with the Combine's cybernetic alterations.

In Frogger, I believe you missed the name of the river. It's the Love Canal.

OT: In Custer's Revenge, what the hell's wrong with Custer? I don't think the man is able to cum, poor fellow.

Well yeah, but you'd think that becoming a Combine would also involve learning some sort of basic tactical knowledge. And since altered humans are presumably the bulk of their army, the point still stands.

is GlaDos angry or happy i escaped, and if she killed all the people in the facility with a neurotoxin where are their bodies, and if they're dead how did they install the thing to get her to stop?
EDIT: and if i blew up the facility, what dragged me away? and if i destroyed her main computer, how is she "still alive"?

1.is GlaDos angry or happy i escaped,
2.and if she killed all the people in the facility with a neurotoxin where are their bodies, and if they're dead how did they install the thing to get her to stop?
EDIT: 3.and if i blew up the facility, what dragged me away?
4.and if i destroyed her main computer, how is she "still alive"?

1.She's as angry as a computer can be...which is happyish because her programming wont let her be mad.
2.She killed a lot of people then others came in and fixed her up. THe bodies were incenerated or buried by the other people.
3.Portal 2 dragged you away
4.She has many more than just her one main computer. At the end it shows that there are way more than just a few copies of her.

what sick man sends babies to fight me?

what sick man sends babies to fight me?

Me, and I will not stop, for eventually you will fall at the hands of a baby and from then on you shall be known as the man (woman?) who got his ass kicked by a small, feeble infant.

Why don't people die like they should in "realistic" games? How did (insert whatever I happen to hide behind) stop bullets? In HL Why did the government respond so poorly and why was black mesa security so well armed?
