You people are very gullible, you know that?
Anyway, about Shadow dying (like you didn't already know...). I've never actually witnessed the part you're talking about, but I heard that if you wait 'till the last minute or so of wherever it is that he dies and there's a timer, that he'll come running toward you and decide to rejoin the group. I got that out of a magazine, and since I've never done whatever part that is, I don't know if it's the same part ya'll are talking about. So, if you know what I'm talking about, then is it true?
