@arielarg: Thanks! Looks like I'll have to start a new save file as I can no longer expand my base.

@arielarg: How are you building so many expansions to your base? I built 4 different bays and wasn't able how to figure out how to expand the base any further.

I'll be buying this game and could use some Origin friends. jta04 is my Origin username.

I read through their bankruptcy petition. Turns out they owe $45,000,000 to the WWE.

@leebmx: As a bankruptcy attorney I get questions like this quite a bit. Chapter 11 bankruptcy is a complex beast, and the Federal Bankruptcy Code demands that the debtor (the person or entity filing bankruptcy, THQ in this instance) file it's financials to show what its operating income and expenses are. The chapter 11 plan is based on what THQ can afford to pay in to the bankruptcy plan each month. Creditors get to vote on the plan and it can't generally be approved unless the creditors approved it.

In this case it sounds like a pre-pack chapter 11 was used. This is a type of chapter 11 where you plan it out with the creditors before hand.

You might ask why a creditor would go along with such a plan instead of suing out their debt, obtaining a judgment and trying to seize assets based on their judgment. Creditors will almost always find that they will receive more money through a bankruptcy plan than had THQ just shut down since their assets are probably all secured by loans. Assets that are secured by loans must go to the secured creditors. It's not like any creditor can seize any asset they want with a judgment. The creditor that has the security interest gets the asset.

Sometimes bankruptcy plans include selling assets to fund a plan, other times it doesn't. From the very limited information I have on this bankruptcy it sounds like THQ gets to keeps it's licenses and will continue development. Once the chapter 11 plan is completed the debt that isn't paid back is discharged.

The chapter 11 plan can be short, could be a lump sum payout, or it can stretch out over years. It all depends on what the creditors will accept in a plan.

@cpchrist: You need to enter it from the "extras" menu in the game, NOT on the Xbox Live dashboard.

I play mostly evenings 9pm to midnight central time.

You have to complete the second level first.  After completing the second level you gain the ability to stack more dolls. 
 
The big engineer is more than 1 size bigger than your biggest doll in the first level.  The game only lets you stack in to a doll 1 size bigger than the current doll you are stacked in. 
 
Basically the big engineer is a size 5 doll, and at the outset of the game you are a size 1 doll, that can stack in to a size 2 doll, that can stack in to a size 3 doll.  But you can't jump from a size 3 to a size 5 doll. 

Well I'll soldier on with only the plasma cutter just in case.   
 
I think I played through the OG Dead Space 4 to 5 times, and I don't see that changing with 2.

I really enjoyed the plasma cutter only achievement in the original Dead Space (as the plasma cutter is one of the greatest video game weapons ever), does anyone know if this is one of the secret achievements in dead space 2?
