yes, thanks for the description of your little adventure. which brings to mind another idea i had. perhaps a spin off of this game, would be where its military based, with soldiers running around, every one of them has weapons, and any time you kill one, it has a weapon or a little bit of ammo, buuuuut, they shoot at you. every one of them! ahahaha. that would be very very cool. and whats more, is its a game that wouldn't take very much to adapt from this one i don't think.
