Future seems plausible looking at the wheat field and its probably the combine ruling the world since both games mention each other.

But do the Combine have the proper copyright laws to prevent me copyrighting sunglasses?

Do they even have copyright?

Of course they do, that's why Gordon Freeman couldn't just pick up any Combine's weapons. They have them copyrighted.

Copyright would prevent Freeman from copying the weapons, not using ones taken otherwise.

They have a clause in their copyright that prevents the distribution of their weapons upon death.

...I'm pretty sure copyright doesn't work like that, and if it did how could they enforce it?

Alien technology.
Have you ever wondered why corpses disappear? Alien science is responsible. Those corpses have postmortem nondistribution licenses.

By the way, there's also the theory that Chell actually DID die right before Cara Mia Addio. One of the more popular visualizations of entering heaven is a wheat field. So it could mean that the turrets killed her, and her spirit finally exited aperture, entering heaven, taking the form of the Wheat Field.

Or something like that.

That's silly. The corpses disappear for performance reasons.

Or something like that.

Which means there's no way to tell if the whole world or just Aperture is devoid of human life. Which means that, given the lack of evidence for a catastrophe, humanity's probably OK.
What kind of heaven is that, though?

Wouldn't that make it more of a Hell?

How do you know? Maybe that's just the excuse they indoctrinated you with, so you wouldn't question the almighty copyright gods.

I think I need to start an OOC thread.

Turn Sixteen Results
[[ DAMMIT CONTINUITY ERRORS! Sorry about some goofs on the last turn. Marks cutoff for second term was coming up, and I had stuff to get done. Also, there's too many OOC posts on the thread for me to go back and quote your actions, so I have to copy-paste. ]]

Do a ninja flip over the hard, metallic thing, grabbing it and tossing it off into the distance while at the same time landing on my feet.

5 - Sick moves bro. You succesfully do that sweet shiznit and head ova' to da light.

Greenstarfanatic:
Well, at least what I can feel is safe! See if I can't just tell myself I'm fine. That usually heals me alright.
---
6 - You feel so safe that you completely forget about the fire and roll back into it.

anailater:
"Urghhh"
Look around again, call for help.

3 - You call for help, and are greeted by a groan from someone laying on the ground next to you.

GreatWyrmGold:
Not as bright as me!

Locate sunglasses.

6 - You locate your trusty sunglasses! Except you poke yourself in the eye when you try to put them on.

"Hey you all right?"
Try to shake the other person awake, look around the room.

[Remuthra]

Confiscate Sunglasses.
