Selous Templar

I can't wait for Ross to get to Ravenholm though. I'm fairly certain that Father Grigori is Ross's favorite Character, so it will be very comical to see how Freeman interacts with him. Same with the Airboat level. I hope Ross does his Pirate Voice for some of the section.

I think you are only viewing Religion at a face value, and not looking deep enough into the significant implications and foundations of Western Civilization that is based on Religion. Since I can not articulate myself as properly as I would like to on this subject, I would suggest you listen to the talks conducted by the esteemed Dr Jordon B Peterson on his Maps and Meaning: The Architecture of Belief lectures. This is the first one:

Bad example; The Gluon Gun was two handed, and it had a backpack. An AR2 is like an M60. It's only possible to fire it one handed with a sling, because it's very heavy. He's a Theoretical Physicist, not an Adrian Shepard. It would make more sense to have the AR2 be held two handed instead of one.

For me, I have always seen Science and Religion both usable to examine and explain the world around us, wherein Science can help explain "How" and Religion helps explain "Why". For example, the question "Why is the teapot boiling?" can have two answers. - Science answers that "The teapot is boiling because the heat from the stove increases the temperature of the water and the equilibrium vapor pressure of the water becomes greater than or equal to the external environmental pressure outside the teapot." - Religion answers that "The teapot is boiling because someone wanted a cup of hot water." It is this use of Science and Religion together that seems to be a good balance for analyzing our environment, where Science can help answer questions to things within our knowledge and understanding, whilst Religion helps answer questions on things beyond our understanding and knowledge. Science and Religion go together surprisingly well in this way, as we had to have had Religion first for Science to emerge from it (back in around the 1500's) as another method of examination. Granted there are extraneous variables with this way of interpreting Science and Religion, as it depends on the Religion that is used, and the question being asked, and whether the Scientific method is used in a different way, and a ton of other variables that go above and beyond my abilities of articulation. Like the question of how measuring a position of an electron changes it's momentum and vice versa. Like Dr Freeman said, the only answer is to get drunk and set things on fire.

Yeah, but it would not look consistent with everyone else holding the AR2 two handed, including the Combine Soldiers (who have tactical combat training mind you) On this topic, there is also a two handed weapon mod for the Pistol http://gamebanana.com/skins/155237 but seeing that Ross has already recorded Episode 3, I think it's too late for him to use this mod, even if he looks at this obscure post on his forums.

Ross, will you use weapon mods for Freeman's Mind 2 to overlook developer oversights for Half-Life 2? For example using http://gamebanana.com/skins/142536 to have Freeman hold the AR2 with 2 hands instead of just one like in the base Half-Life 2?
