er...jay was in 'biz'... i doubt he had anything to do with the engine.

in reality who teleports onto another planet carrying a plasma gun with
the intention of slaughtering mutant space zombies..
if you want reality, get a rifle and kill your parents...i prefer video
games.
  KP> most people dont want to kill just one thing..thats boring...
  KP> who do you know plays 2 player deathmatch? or spawns 
  KP> just one reaper bot??
 JF> You're assuming that this target is easy to kill, which

 JF> Hollywood-level excitement.
still... 1 enemy = not as much fun as a whole bunch...
the excitement of a bloody killing spree appeals to the hunter in all of
us.. i would say that 8 out of 10 people would rather kill 30 somewhat
less intelligent enemies than one really smart one.. one enemy is still only
one enemy and thats just not as much fun..
