  1. Hitman: Absolution

    well hey what's your steam id
  2. GTA V

    Yeah I wish there was a way to just turn off all post-processing in GTA4. Why the hell would you deliberately make that game so depressing
  3. Hitman: Absolution

    oh man, blood money is the best
  4. GTA V

    i think he might have been joking
  5. Hitman: Absolution

    Blood Money also had stupid sexy killers, y'know
  6. GTA V

    I'd actually suggest it might not be. Look at the shitty sudden movement on the carriage behind the train on the right. It's the kind of thing that happens with vidjagame physics all the time but is super easy to fix in a cutscene if you're animating it manually. Certainly there is no reason they couldn't do it if they wanted, and they seem like the kind of devs who would totally want to
  7. I'm making mead again

    Man, this all sounds amazing, I would love to try every one of those meads (though I've never tried mead in my life). I would never expect you to ship a bottle all the way to the Australias though. The extent of my experience with homebrew is my brother and his mates spent a long time collecting bottles and preparing to make their own beer, spent a weekend, fucked it up somehow and left an absurd number of empty bottles under my house.
  8. Half-Life 3

    Portal 2 has a hugely simplified editor for if you want to just make test chambers out of prefabs, and it is very cool, but if you want to do anything more complicated than that you've got to use Hammer. An editor that actually runs the game engine would be a huge step up.
  9. Half-Life 3

    The biggest thing really is their tools are totally awful. You can't get any kind of asset into Source without faffing about in a text editor and often a command prompt. Hammer is basically the same now as it was when it was Worldcraft for Quake. You can't, say, scale up a mesh in Hammer, or move it in local space. It really is bloody awful to try to use after you've used Unreal or probably Unity etc.
  10. Thumbs Downunder/PAX Australia Meetup?

    I too am an Australianian. Melbourne. I'm probably not really up for a regular gaming thing because I'm usually too busy working but some kind of meetup would be cool?
  11. First PC in 9 years; what should I play?

    Giants: Citizen Kabuto. Not sure if it fits in the time frame during which you didn't have a PC but you can't risk not playing it.
  12. First PC in 9 years; what should I play?

    All the Half-Lifes.
  13. Plug your shit

    I have a new thing to plug! A pretty huge update came out for UDK yesterday that lets me do crazy huge landscapes on mobile, so now I'm experimenting with making my iOS game Vroom an open-world thing. Here's last night's work
  14. Half-Life 3

    What's he even said about Windows 8? There was the comment about it being a disaster but I think the context for that was more the closed nature of the store than anything else, right?
  15. Plug your shit

    These are all great. Also, I have way fewer followers than either of your accounts I guess I should tweet more, or something
  16. Half-Life 3

    Oh yeah it was obviously bullshit, the phrasing was just the least plausible thing about it to me
  17. Half-Life 3

    Having met Gabe a few times the first thing I thought reading that page was "Bullshit, Gabe doesn't talk like that!" I guess they weren't to know though
  18. Lost progress

    I played the first episode of The Walking Dead, and a little way into the second, and next time I ran the game it said I had no saves. The files are still there, but it won't read them. It won't even make new saves, so I'll probably never end up finishing it. I am deeply displeased with this state of affairs. Also Carmageddon on iOS deleted my save yesterday, curse it
  19. Assassin's Creed: Mohawk

    Aww man, how are they still doing this every game?
  20. Post your face!

    it was basically the best
  21. Post your face!

  22. Half-Life 3

    I mean, that was always my assumption
  23. Steam Greenlight

    Man, you bein' silly. You're at #4! That means a shitton of people want to be able to buy your game. That means Valve were wrong to turn you down before, which probably happens all the time, which is why they set this thing up. The next thing you make is always going to be better than the last thing you made, that doesn't mean the last thing wasn't rad.Also, I was at #49 a week ago but now I'm at #60. I don't really know how to promote the thing past what I have already, or if that's even what I should be doin'.
  24. Steam Greenlight

    I am hearing that a lot, but I do not get what is not to get.
  25. Post your face!

    Hooray, a use for these red/green glasses I keep around for no reason!
