Food heals bullet wounds.

That is all.

Exploding fire extinguishers.

Are you implying that doesn't actually work in real life ?

Didn't you know that in the US they literally fight fire with fire? Of course their fire extinguishers are explosive.

A "simulation style" RPG would at least work rather poorly as a CRPG, at least the way we usually approach CRPGs. There are pen & paper RPGs that are trying to simulate reality, and they can be quite playable, though focus shifts away from combat.

The main issue I have with the weight and naming problems is that I don't really see a reason for it to begin with. Renaming swords just causes confusion, and considering how many seem to get their information about these things from pen & paper RPGs, a shockingly large portion of the self proclaimed "history geeks" that I've met think a longsword is a 1-handed weapon. As far as weight goes, they could simply have renamed it, call it "encumbrance" or something, and then they can give it a value that reflects both its weight, and how awkward it is to carry around (and it could also be used as a balancing factor).

I have not, but I am downloading it now. Thanks!

I once accidentally cut myself.
Smearing the wound with butter didn't work, so I am going to say "no"

Why didn't you use margarine ?

Thanks for the links but I think the title "survival-in-space-unprotected-possible" is somewhat misleading. Firstly, the vaccum tests they made on chimpanzees (which I consider barbaric for the record) kind of tell 'after being exposed for a short period, you most likely will suffer longterm effects or die'.
Then the tests made are about vaccum as far as I understand. Space exposes you also to cold and/or heat, and radiations sometimes, so if the vacuum didn't kill you, well, I am no specialist but I think you still have a long road ahead.

So yes you opened my eyes on 'possible' but given the occasion I wouldn't make that bet :-)

Had you smeared it with honey it actually would have helped.

And on that note, why does any factory or office or other location in an FPS contain barrels of highly explosive material just lying about.

I've never worked in an office that had explosives lying around randomly...

There is no such thing as "cold" in a vacuum. Temperature is caused by particles moving and vacuum by definition is the absence of particles. When you touch a cold object that object sucks out the head energy from your body, but since there is nothing to touch you won't lose heat from the cold of space. You won't gain any either, except if getting hit by radiation. However, the evaporating water from your body will suck out your heat energy, so that's what would freeze you, but that would happen on earth as well if you were in a vacuum chamber. You are right in that radiation would be dangerous though.

But all in all it should be possible to survive for a few seconds, maybe enough to jump from one space ship to another in a pinch. At least that's my guess.

In Splinter Cell thunder indicates that there's a lightning strike coming up, while in real life it's actually the other way round.

And yes, Okami is a fantastic game. One of the best I played in the last ten years.

Shotguns: they are nowhere near being the magic death cannons that games make them out to be. In games, a shotgun has a wide spread which allows for an easy way to harm multiple targets at once, when in reality the spread of a shotgun load is relatively small.

Silencers: THEY DO NOT EXIST. So-called silencers cannot make guns completely silent; all they do is make the gun slightly less loud when fired.
