Team Fortress 2!!! I would watch the HELL out of a Team Fortress 2 movie. It would work even better as a TV show. We have 9 well thought out characters with distinct personalities at constant war against basically their clones to protect a mysterious objective from someone higher up. Chaos insues. What more could you possibly want? Hell, watch this 14 minute mini-movie of it, and watch the videos if you haven't already. I want, no, NEED more. These characters have so much potential.

Blehh lag. Sniper's pretty fun too, although I usually use the huntsman because I have this soft spot for projectile weapons. My time with the crusader's crossbow translates well with the huntsman... and its fun to pin people to walls.

Ah i was just playing TF2 as well. I'm a medic....battle medic.

Definitely a visual/tactical learner. To study or prepare for my art history class, I sketched each art piece in my notebook alongside important facts. The process of sketching them out helped me remember the facts next to them more easily since i would see the art piece every time i read my notes. I also learn well by watching someone do something and then trying it myself. A good example of this would be origami videos. My auditory learning skills are horrendous though. A few seconds of explanation and I start to zone out. I was always horrible at math for this reason. If I asked for help on a problem my teachers would just verbally tell me how to solve it and I would walk back to my desk with no clue what they had just told me.

*difficult or obnoxious camera angles *the "protect this thing" mission where the thing walks around stupidly taking damage from enemies and you have to kill the enemies before it dies *press X to SHAUN. AKA "quicktime events" *games with a ton of confusing button combinations *terrible voice acting. If its gonna be poorly done they shouldn't even bother. *poorly done "realistic" graphics. the humans just get plain creepy looking. *grindfests

Simply put, a Mary Sue is a character who lacks substantial flaws. When I say flaws, I mean traits that emotionally, morally and physically limit the character. Take spider man for example. He's not a Gary Stu, because he has both physical limits (while he can take a punch, he's not invulnerable), moral limits (he's a good-hearted character, but displayed a desire for revenge in the movies) and emotional limits (suffers chronic heartbreak and endured emotionally hard things) Early superman had little to none of these traits. He was a Gary Stu. Now Mary Sues are not well written characters, but if the rest of the story they are in is good most people wont mind. That's why characters like Superman and Goku are still so popular despite being rather bland. It all depends on the story itself. Anyway, I personally think that Twilight could use more moral limitations but I'm not gonna start that argument again....

We describe things in ways that work best with our system. In your pool example, I obviously wouldn't be setting my goal in miles, I'd decide how many yards I want to swim that day. Or instead of the pool being marked as 25 yards, it'll be marked as whatever fraction of a mile the pool is. Alot of places will provide information for you in whatever way is easiest to convert. For instance, there's this indoor track that has a ground markings which display how many laps equal a mile. I don't know exactly how many inches are in that track, but based on what little information is provided I can determine how many laps I need for nearly any goal I set. Point is that we live with the imperial system every day, and it doesn't inconvenience us until you all start demanding we convert it based on your system.
