Gangster-style yakuza rarely bother normal people. It’s not worth the trouble for either party. There are some industries with a lot of yakuza-owned and operated companies, but their main goal is to make or lose legitimate money, so unless

Definitely not. It’s a total coincidence that the F-35 VTOL system is very similar to the innovative Soviet one used on the Yak-141 …

Even if Crytek took a year off developing new games after the release of Far Cry, that still puts the start of Crysis development before the announcement of Core (early 2005 IIRC).

Being single-threaded is why the original Crysis is hard on computers now(!!). When Crysis was being developed people still thought 5-10Ghz was coming Any Day Now.

Obviously it’s the English pronounciation that is difficult for them. See also how Japanese try to avoid saying “reflex” in relation to cameras: An SLR is an 一眼レフ Single Lens Ref and Nikon’s camera with a reFlex mirror is the Nikon “F”. Mir

Credits used to be at the start of the movie. George Lucas got into hot water for refusing to include any at the beginning of “Star Wars”.

CS 1.6 required Steam and was released together with Steam 1.0. You could say that it was a soft launch to get Steam ready for HL2 one year later.

The original owner must have liked using filters in Photoshop. I can’t think of another reason someone would pair a CPU like that with modest(for 2002) 512MB RAM and 40GB HDD

CS struck a great balance between skill floor and skill ceiling, which is one of the reasons I think it was the first blockbuster multiplayer FPS: even if your opponent is a way better player and knows the map, it's still possible to g
