The countdown's over, looks like all the "brains" got out.
But what happens next? There's no new site or anything.

Emerging Fluidic Master

Credits go to Strack for the awesome sprite.
I'm an Emerging Fluidic Master (again). Time to start working on my Waterbending.
I'm still a ninja although I think I'm losing my skills as one.

Who here has seen the commercials yet? I've seen one, and I'm quite shocked.
I actually recognized the screams of those brain things as actually the exact sounds pulled from the Half Life 2 headcrabs. And there's more in common to boot.
Transport's the same (drop pod), attachment and control is the same (via the head)...
Part of me thinks it's a ripoff that may be illegal. Then again, I don't know if Valve copyrighted the Headcrabs or not. Who knows?

Descending into Protodermis

Only thing I'd say would be stealing the sound effects, assuming they are the same, and not just very similar. The mind control parasite idea has been used time and time again; Half Life certainly wasn't the first. And you know, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... so I'd suspect that if the similarities were intentional, TLG was deliberately referencing Half Life. That's just me though.

Who here has seen the commercials yet? I've seen one, and I'm quite shocked.Illegal? Hardly. These things that it has in common with Half-Life are so basic that I can't think of a country in the world where they could be protected as intellectual property. The screams, maybe, if they are in fact the exact same sounds, but I strongly doubt that considering that it'd be easy to make synthesized alien screams sound similar without totally hijacking some other company's sound files.
