For starters, I THINK THEY ARE CRAZY ASSHOLES. But, THE BALLOON CAN LIFT THE CHILD... do your research:
4g of helium equals 28.5g of air in volume. Do some math and you can generalize that 1 cubic foot of helium can lift 28.5 grams of weight depending on temperature and altitude.
The ballon was 20ft in diameter and 5 feet high... 10ft squared * pi = ~314sqft... * 5 ft high and subtracting some for the not-quite-cylindrical shape = ~1500 cubic feet.
Balloon can lift 1500 * 28.5g = 42.75 kilos. For those of you that have no idea what a kilo is that's about 2.2 lbs. The ballon can lift that's about 94 lbs. Average weight of a 6 yr old boy is around 50 lbs and that kid looks pretty skinny.
Screw the Heenes but also please don't post false ass information.
Gamers lack of knowledge of how their games are made never ceases to amaze. I wonder when the foodnetwork revolution will come to this sphere and people will begin to actually understand and appreciate the process these things go through.
Gearbox reached the point where they were done and signing off on the game a while ago. And, the team that begins the work on a project like this DLC is very different from the team that polishes and ships a project like the main game. DIFFERENT PEOPLE PUTTING IN DIFFERENT MAN HOURS. Hell, some of those screens appear to be art department mockups and level designer demos anyways.
Further, the content of this seems very different from the plot and setting I've seen so far from the main game. This kind of off-shoot material is perfect for DLC so it doesn't distract from the main game.
