I'm playin' my ninja in Fallout 3 and, O no!, a Yao Guai got the jump on me!
So I punch him in the face. What happens-- it's good-- his face flies off-- falls like a pickle-- and his corpse goes straight up out of view. 100% vertical. The ground is completely perpendicular to his ascent. UP!
Confusion occurred. I said, "Well, okay, I need to log off anyway, I'll just get my reward for, uh, 'fixing' Tenpenny's ghoul problem."
I fast travel to Tenpenny's tower. I ***** at what's-his-face to open the gate. A faceless Yao Guai is inside waiting for me.
FUCK YOU, PHYSICS!
