If there's a gravitational wave traveling towards you, you get a stretch in the dimension that's perpendicular to the direction it's moving. And then perpendicular to that first stretch, you have a compression along the other dimension.

When we did the first 'Uncharted,' we weren't able to capture the audio with the performances.

To preserve civilisation, we must deal scientifically with the brute element, using only genuine biological principles.

There are those who advocate, and those who do. I'm not trying to slight my peers, but there is a difference between using a soapbox and actually getting your hands dirty.
