Why is there a chainsaw in DOOM?  There aren't any trees on mars. :-)

   The NFL should go international. I'd pay to
   see the Detroit Lions vs the Roman Catholics.

Oh? Tell? I've only ever watched the speed run and played the demo, so I 
haven't heard the dialog and such.

But there are loads after loads of freakish monsters.  A chainsaw is about just
as useful and flexible as a hammer. :)

  I don't remember the exact text, but something about mixed up items on

Ah, cool.  Thanks.

I got a chance to play a bit of Dead Rising last week. Lots of silly fun.

Note the effect of the shower head. He doesn't show how you can use traffic 
cones to blind the zombies or pick up bits of zombies you've cut off and jam
