block throwing

throwing blocks works better for larger blocks, even with no mods
new mod - mass driver: blocks do 3x damage and charge 3x faster
negative mass field
  moves faster horizontally
  doesn't increase throw speed (but still lets you move with huge blocks)
  can't block
  take 66% less damage while field is active
