No, the end sequence requres some action... better it be in 3d than lame 2d...

Number one rule of engagement: You're not allowed to go on a defensive. Defensives, being usually lame, are not fun to read. You get one demerit while AGA is in the lead. Repeat the offence and you will be banned.Man, being an admin is so much fun! Score: AGA GFMcB

I'm not going to just jump in and be overwhelmed. I am going to wait a while for stuff to flesh itself out, for the modding community to establish itself and so forth.

I can always pretend it is a creative solution (when in fact it is born of necessity) and create some sort of ICO/GK3 thing where the "protagonist" is being pulled around by the disembodied first-person player character who for all story purposes isn't there at all -- who is expected to solve the puzzles for the "protagonist". That would actually make everything oh so simple.

Hypothetically speaking, will one be able to make a, say, third person action-adventure with the SDK? The more I think about Langhorne Underground the more I think it would be better as an action-adventure... or at least a 3d adventure with some superfluous action... Why must I create more problems for myself than I really need?

It fixed itself. Shite.

You are nothing!

Moot point, motherfucka'.

Ooookay... yesterday night Half-Life 2 decided to download a patch and I haven't managed to open the goddamn game since... The CD revves up, the little red light blinks, but nothing happens.

Whoa! Never noticed that button!

It does. For me at least.

You have a very delicious-looking cleavage right there, Mr. Breker.

Stand in the line.

I have a Radeon 9600 Pro. How do you hook up gamma +/- exactly? Most of the games I've played lately didn't mess with gamma, though.

I'm foreign, motherfucka; I'm allowed to say things like that. I could call the bricks what I did when I was wee, but I doubt "legeechee" or "lego kotskitse"* would mean anything to you. Besides, you hardly have any integrity in matters of grammar yourself. *) that would be phonetically written.

Something that annoys me about the game is its complete disregard of my master gamma settings... my monitor is slowly dying and going to black so I have to crank up the gamma to see darker things which are prevelent in this game as well as others. Other games respect my gamma value, but Half-Life decided that it knows what is best for me... consequently, I have to have the flashlight on even in certain daylight scenes... and I tend to tap the shift button not to use up the battery, which at times opens up the "are you retarded" dialog (also known as "the option for people with only one finger"; try tapping the shift key five or so times yourselves).... Bumclouds! I remember that in the original Half-Life I cranked the gamma so high that I didn't need to use the flashlight at all. Alas, the game's revenge is painful.

...I also thought San Andreas was downright "beautiful" for a GTA game, and like I said before somewhere on the board, I hope they don't fuck up the port by taking away all the atmospheric shaders like with Vice City.

Are you fucking insane?! The PC version of Vice City was butt-fugly. It was a textbook example of a half-assed port. They completely removed the orangy atmospheric glow, leaving behind a skeleton structure of annoying raw colours, they didn't bother converting all the shaders, so the raindrops that fell on the screen didn't refract at all. It is anything but vibrant and colourful -- faster perhaps, but irrelevantly so.In conclusion :fart: :fart: .

...grammatical errors notwithstanding.

I keep telling her the same, but does she listen?

For Gordon the thing said "hired". You know, I may be kinda dim but I am pretty certain the two are not synonymous.

You're a good apprentice.

The last scene happens in a chopper, there's G-man there, he says something stern and angry and then the screen goes black and the letters write out "Something Shepherd, arrested" or "apprehended"

You know, that was my initial impression, I thought the thing was bogus, but I entertained it anyway.
