and you just disqualified yourself from every kind of discussion that will ever happen to you or has already happened.
To the guy that claims to have seen a tree with eyes: Source or it never happened.
To the person that put every line of my post into quotation marks: dafuq? If you've questions, ask them. As for Unvanquished being a pseudo-realistic shooter: It's not an arena shooter. It has strategic elements, it has 'reality near movement', at least for humans and the weapons of the humans are kinda realistic (well...aside from that chainsaw thing) so...to me that is pseudo-realistic. A 'realistic' shooter would be something like Red Orchestra or that US Army game (I always forget the name). Weapons jamming, limbs that are hit giving you disadvantages, leaning... If I'm wrong with the assumption that Unvanquished is a pseudo-realistic shooter, please explain what it is then.
As for the guy that wanted to know if I ever saw an alien: No and it doesn't matter. Evolution is the same everywhere (at least there is no proof of it being otherwise and it is the only concept we can observe). Short wrap up about what Evolution basically describes: The individuals that are adapted best to their environment will have more children than any other individual. The 'adaption' is no intelligent process. There are random DNA mutations that cause differences. For example, in humans, we've humans that have dark skin, white skin or kind-of yellow skin. Or different eye colors. Or, let's assume that all the techniq didn't happen and we would still hunt, people like me that need glasses to see anything that is more than 5 meters away from them would not be able to spread their genes because they'd die of starvation (yay for technology).
So, since those alien brains must reproduce somehow, the ones that are, thanks to random genetic mutations, better adapted to their environment in comparsion with all other brains will reproduce more than them. And by all means, those eyes are hardly beneficial to something that can't really use them.
*edit if those Aliens don't have DNA, they've some equivalent. Something that describes how they...look like or what body parts they have. And that information will most likely be altered when reproducing.
I don't think that those Aliens are manipulating that 'information'. Reason: If they could do that, they'd have constructed something like an 'uber warrior', which they don't have. Or they did a really shitty job at that.
