  1. Half-Life 3

    Then you're part of the problem. Weaponize yourself with a monster DinoPC rig now!
  2. Half-Life 3

  3. Routine

    Everybody's seen this by now, right? https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=iAcAd1fUiy8 Looks really beautiful. It sucks that I'm unable to play these tense-em-up games, because those environments look like they'll be really interesting to explore.
  4. Half-Life 3

    Latest HL2 update description has link to http://3.steampowered.com which has a weird reverse countdown...
  5. Arma 3 Beta Shenanigans

    Have fun!
  6. I Had A Random Thought...

    I think interrupting strangers to provide corrections and facts is perfectly fine and acceptable. KIDDING, don't do it!
  7. The Last of Us

    This game has now gone on for what feels like three game lengths, and I see no end. Ellie has just been How far in am I, like a third?
  8. The Last of Us

    THIS GAME IS SO LOOOOOONNGGGG
  9. Life

    Wasn't there some recent research indicating cold weather made us more susceptible to contagion?
  10. Nextbox 1080: The Reckoning

    They probably have some very good echo cancellation that filters out speaker noise, including chat from other players. They may even try to determine who's speaking based on mouth movement.
  11. Movie/TV recommendations

    Even though it will probably be terrible, I'm really looking forward to the first episode of «Under the Dome,» which I think aired tonight (American Night).
  12. The Dancing Thumb (aka: music recommendations)

    Jan Johansson is the best.
  13. Movie/TV recommendations

    Look how fucking easy it is:
  14. Nextbox 1080: The Reckoning

    Interesting theory.
  15. Monkey Island 2: SE

    Mother of God.
  16. The Last of Us

    Bahhh this game
  17. Nextbox 1080: The Reckoning

    I bet the rules will be something like this: you can't transfer them to anyone ever.
  18. Nextbox 1080: The Reckoning

    My guess is they had this as a backup plan all along, and it was automatically set into motion by a cloud-based AI that realized that the negative effects of the internet rage would be greater than those of whatever deals they're now dropping or changing with publishers. They're all just waiting for an all-digital marketplace where the concept of a used game does not exist.
  19. Nextbox 1080: The Reckoning

    RUMOR: Microsoft doing a 180 and removing all the DRM stuff, including always online requirements and used games limitations. HYPERLINK Oh, so apparently the fancy sharing and giving away of online games is now gone, and playing disc-based games will obviously now require the disc in the drive.
  20. Movie/TV recommendations

    So this looks god damn amazing: It doesn't seem super-funny to me, but the quality of animation and attention to detail is astonishing.
  21. Life

    Good news! Or, as you say «down below,» fozzie nozzies!
  22. Mirror's Edge 2. I'm not even fucking joking.

    No I mean the one shot you have to take towards the end to progress. There's a gun, and you have to fire ...
  23. Rising Storm/Red Orchestra 2

    I was wondering about this, and Lu game some halfhearted attempt at a description, placing it somewhere between Arma and some other game. How would you describe this game to someone of about average or slightly below average intelligence?
  24. The Last of Us

    I'm probably about halfway (just been saved by a person who's going to make me something if I can get all the components for it,) and so far I'm not loving it. It's a great game, and it's well made and fun – I guess I was expecting it to be really dark and deep and serious, but my impression so far is that, just like the Uncharted games, a lot of it is just crazy production values. edit: Not super-happy with this post, but it's about 80-85% in line with my actual feelings about this game.
  25. Mirror's Edge 2. I'm not even fucking joking.

    What? There was one on the Xbox ... Also, you have to fire that one shot.
