    I've been gone for a while. Sorry if I kept you guys waiting.

    Your information is unfounded here. There's nothing backing this up at this point, and if I'm wrong, show me some resources please. Also, do you mean the Big daddies weren't meant to be permanent protectors of the little sisters, or are you saying they weren't permanently integrated to their suits. I assume the former.

    I said it myself; it's purely speculation. In summary of my previous post (six or seven posts earlier) the fact that the PBD has free will means that they (the man) did not intend to control the Big Daddy. It was also voluntary at first iirc. So, because it was voluntary and not meant to be mindlessly controlled, I think it was originally intended to be an occupation.

    Like I said, I'm speculating.

    I'm sure they used some sort of gene splicing on top of the chemical engineering here as for the rest of what you had posted.

    No amount of adam can give structure to a body without solid bone.

    Knowie, your paragraphs are long, so to save space I'm not going to quote them directly.

    The pressure oxygen has inside your body doesn't change quickly enough (or at all; I can't remember), while the pressure around you increases as you go deeper into the ocean. So you'd implode. The same thing works for any liquid, just at a slower rate. Oxygen is more compressible than a liquid, because it's a gas; it would take more oxygen to increase the pressure in the suit than it would liquids, and would probably take more effort to constantly regulate.

    You're saying that liquids are used because they are easier to regulate. I can understand that, but even so, that's still quite the difference to regulate. 14k psi? Regulated in the time it takes to walk through a door? I don't think that's possible.

    Which is why I think the entire concept behind Big Daddies being able to walk underwater is flawed. Don't get me wrong; it'll be one of the neatest parts of the game, but I doubt it's possible, even with adam.

    I guess I agree with your theory as far as it can go (though oxygen would definitely be more plentiful, even if it is harder to regulate, which might make it a possibility). I just don't think it can go very far.

    Concerning Dexter's Lab: May that show rest in peace. Along with Time Squad, Johnny Bravo, Samurai Jack, and all the other shows that made Cartoon Network the best station of its time.

    Dexter's lab and all the other shows that made Cartoon Network the best station of it's time are still on TV. Well.. where I live atleast..

    ^^ Yeah, my posts are long-winded and often filled with boring science facts gleaned from physics classes I half slept through, but at least they succeed in (momentarily) diverting our collective attentions from mammaries to science...

    All in all however, I don't actually think my theory would work either, but it's plausible in the world of gaming. In a city six miles under the sea, where the water pressure would cause a crack in one of the huge panes of glass (a one square foot window would have the equivalent of 260 elephants sitting on it) to to unleash a torrent of water powerful enough to cut through a man like a blowtorch through butter, I think walking on the bottom of the sea is one of the less implausible features.

    However, the hallmark of a truly well crafted game world is one wherein physics defying phenomena can be explained to a reasonable degree. This reasoning may be as sound as "is there were a nuclear holocaust, animals could mutate to adapt after a few hundred years," or as shaky as "the world has wizards, so why not a magic flying boat, with tiny propellers to keep it afloat?" As long as these phenomena have plausible answers, throwing physics out the window doesn't detract as much form the game.

    So, while I think my theory is good enough for a video game, you won't find me welding myself into an oil drum and filling it with Perfluorocarbons to see if I can explore the bottom of the ocean.

    As far as Cartoon Network is concerned, I don't know if it's the fact that I've matured, or that the network has lost its way, but the old shows you mention bring back happy nostalgia, while the garbage they show now only serves to sadden and anger me. Dexter's Lab was one of my all time favorite cartoons (I bet you would never have guessed)... They really don't make em' like they used to.

    It's not your age. Cartoon Network shows garbage now, while the old shows (which are on on Boomerang, I believe, though I don't get that channel) still amaze me.

    what would "grafting ones organs" to the suit even mean? simply...surgically attaching them to the metal? Having artificial organs? how would that be different from just being in the suit in the first place?

    -Why is there yogurt in this cap?!
    -It used to be milk, but, well, time makes fools of us all. (cookie for reference)::159 cookies given thus far::
