Hang on, hang on. Attila has a 1:1 chance of hitting Earth in Borneo, but a 99% chance of hitting Earth according to NASA?

Edit: Oh man, I remember my big brother telling me when the shuttle flips away from Atilla that it wasn't rotating in the 'wrong' direction (because up until this point, I had only played/seen flight simulators) because there is no 'up' or 'down' in space. Blew my little 4/5-year-old mind.

It's striking how the... well, pre-rendered isn't the correct term, obviously... but how the cutscenes just don't look as good graphically as the actual game itself, even though they are more detailed. I wonder when cutscenes in games generally became superior graphically over the gameplay?

Is it ever explained in the book how there's a suspicion of alien interference with Atilla? Or is it just because it appears to be slowing down?

Edit: I like that Boston is a fan of Forbidden Planet.

God I hated that turtle puzzle.

Maybe they use that phrase for speak becasue they were huge fand of Kung Pow.

sorry.

But in all seriousness - wasn't the source material of this considered for a movie instead of a game?

Jeez, I feel so blindsided by the death of Maggie, it was just so unexpected. I feel like it wasn't telegraphed in any way whatsoever.
