Read about that earlier. The applications for the microscope and the low cost make it very cool. thumb up

He works as a bioengineering professor, but is actually a physicist.

We physicists are smart enough to be whatever we want.

50 cents for a projector filter is still quite an investment though. For that kind of money you can get Omega Vision to dress up in a red uniform and clean your entire hose while addressing you as "master" and letting you spit on him. And then you'd still have 25 cents left.

That's pretty awesome. How much XP for victory?

Also, Swedish women are wasted, given Astner's orientation of autophilia.

I saw those rats on Fallout 3.
