# Great use of physics, have you get the gravity gun yet?
It's cocking great fun!

# I'd like to see someone cause a collapse in the hl2 physics
send me a screenshot if you see sudden unexplainable force on an object.

# Ah (engine developer - explination of likely problem)
let me guess...
physics engine suffered a numerical integrator collapse in calculating a force vector for friction.

The idea is pretty simple... in each calculation a small amount of numerical error is created. Under some circumstances this can grow to the point where a number is divided by a VERY small number... resulting in instintanious near infinite force.

hence flying cars or objects gaining speed through collisions.

The "enter the matrix" game driving levels were notorious for being able to screw up in this way (causing all other cars on the road to fly)

# When you bust the cars up enough
their doors start swinging about.

Or the quo on the hill, either really!

# The quo probably instigated the numerical collapse
they're like very two agent smith guys. Only they're constantly having bumsex

hadn't seen that

i was thinkin teh quo

# I'm a bit behind
in GTA SA, but my buddy had just got hold of... A JET PACK!

Also he wears a gimp suit and beats people up with a 2 foot pink double ended Dildo.

In the game I mean....mostly.
