Hell, it's listed above Advent Rising in their little games box thingy. That's Psychonauts, first in the list.

Why was official trailor 8 released before official trailer 1? Oh, it's mislabelled. Should be official movie 8.

Actually, I liked the puzzles in Exile better. But I've only gone through Spire so far, and it had a music puzzle (strike one, I'm tone deaf) that didn't make any sense to me at all (strike two). I've just started Haven, and it seems better, but I haven't really found any puzzles yet. I've just been walking around in the jungle... which, I must say, has a very strange predator-to-prey ratio. And yes, Yeesha is annoying as hell.

What about Doom 3? Well, maybe graphics and nostalgia.

Various developers have tried to advance adventure gamers. Like Broken Sword 3, which brilliantly advanced the adventure genre with... Crates. Anyway, we can hope for Dreamfall or something.

Adventure game reviews are terrible... 1. If the reviewer doesn't like adventures (which, sadly, is often the case) they either a) give it a terrible review because they don't like adventures or give it a good review because they don't know what's a good adventure and what isn't and don't want to piss adventure gamers (or the developers and publishers off) 2. If the reviewer likes adventures, then they know adventure games are rare and need huge sales to become a viable genre again and give all but the worst games good reviews

"Well ain't that cute... but it's WRONG!" I love that phrase... it has so many applications in everyday life.

I played on medium and didn't have problems with the snipers. Were you playing on hard, Kingz? I also didn't die much in HL2; I seemed to just barely survive each encounter, get some health in the next area, and then get into another encounter I just barely survived... etc. Apparently medium difficulty was designed for me. I seem to remember the snipers being easy though. I just ran from cover to cover until I was able to chuck grenades at them. At the part with Barney there was an ammo box with unlimited grenades, too. Really, the only parts I remember being hard (i.e. where I died a lot) was outside Nova Prospekt with the 2 or 3 gunships and most of "Follow Freeman". On topic (), I watched a friend of mine play Half-Life 2 and I felt similar. I kept trying to get him to listen to Dr. Breen at the beginning, and he just ran around chucking luggage at guards for twenty minutes. He spent most of the sequence in Kleiner's lab crouched and checking out Alyx's ass. When Alyx stepped into the teleporter he was like, "What's that? Is she going to die?"

Powerpuff Girls and Dexter's Lab rolled off the Cartoon Network assembly line... Zim was Nick, though.

From what I've read about global warming, one thing has become clear to me: Nobody has a fucking clue.

Riding in the seat next to the driver. Its origins are shrouded in mystery.

Err... what does global warming have to do with that? Also, edit button.

Crichton's latest book (State of Fear) implies that global warming was made up to scare people into supporting the environmental movement. (although he's very careful to not actually say that)

I think for copyright reasons you can't download them off his site, but I'm sure you can find downloads elsewhere.

I got HL2, Myst IV, and finally Beyond Good and Evil.

I thought Tiberian Sun was great. Not the promised messiah to usher in the new era of RTS games (still waiting for that), but it was a good sequel. Tiberian Twilight would probably have been shit with who EA had behind it before they pulled it. I'm quite happy they're making Red Alert 3 next. I like to think they might just let the Tiberian series end with TS. Err, what were we talking about?

You can play the 16-color version in DOTT by using Wierd Ed's computer.

Yufster, did you by chance read lailoken's avatar?

Is this really all that different from anything else Yufster has written?

The world would be far better off if Spike TV - the entire channel - did not exist. This travesty of the games industry is only a microcosm for Spike's travesty of television. Unfortunately, there are many television channels and few if any other games award shows... EDIT: Woah, : ( is ?

I do believe it's generally considered the first RTS, before Dune II changed everything. I haven't played it though.

I laughed for a long time about this. Then I told my Matrix-loving friend about it (he has the movie posters framed and on his walls). Fun!

The whole objective of most of Opposing Force is to find and disable "the package" i.e. the nuke. I just replayed it last week so it's fresh in my mind. It probably would have been better if he had let them nuke it though. What was with those Black Ops (the guys with the nuke), anyway? Who were they working for, considering they shot military personell on sight?
