Hmmm... I think I got a full version of Duke 3D on a PC Gamer CD a few years back. Now I wanna go play it. Great, there goes tomorrow.

I didn't say it wasn't awesome, just that it wasn't a joke. If there were a compelling reason for me to get a 360, I'd definitely be picking this thing up.

How the hell did I forget to mention Zim? It's my fucking AVATAR for god's sake. I've got a Gir action figure with a squid on his head sitting over my monitor watching me as I type this. AND I DIDN'T MENTION IT!!!! ... I have to go hang myself in shame now...

Didn't really care about the graphics so much, was more interested in stuff like Trauma Centre playing on my computer monitor. Still, after seeing those shots I feel that I need to say "ooooh... Sparkly..."

Fuh. King. A.. Well played on the trailer, valve. I'm now very interested.

What gag? This is a real game. You gotta start paying more attention to the weirdity around here...

That's really just a general effect of the forums though. All you need to do is say "I'm a thumb" and you have to start beating the opposite sex away with a stick.

Opposite with me, my writing is terrible but my speaking is great. Also, I learned Friday night that I speak French much better when I'm shit-faced, as I amazed my friends by carrying on a half hour conversation completely in French with some guy in the bar who'd just moved here from Quebec. Good times.

And THIS, Ladies and Gentlemen, is dedication. SCARY dedication.

Oh damn that would be awesome. I spend a couple of hours (2-5-ish) every friday geeking out with Ticket and occasionally Game of Thrones. Either of those would be incredible on a table like that. Seeing your armies fight and watching the world conform to your game would be amazingly immersive. Considering how much I get sucked into these games already, that may not be a benefit, but it's still damn cool.

Wait, so kill them whether you were successful or not? "Oh thank God you've freed me from this horrible alien menace! Is there anything I can do to repa-" BLAM! real nice, man. Real nice indeed.

...Schrodinger's Keg? Fuck it...

I put all of House on my PSP and watched it between classes. That was a good couple of weeks...

referring to the disco or the "love you tender?"

Yeah, for a game so focused on sneaking through the underbrush, they could have had the underbrush at least rustle a bit as you crawled through it. Having my head pass directly through a leaf kinda takes me out of the experience. Despite that, and the mediocre story, I did enjoy the game though. Something about being silent death always makes me happy. Same reason Splinter Cell manages to keep me coming back.

Well, technically, the STRONGEST character was Dog, but I get what you mean. I too loved the way that the only people left in some houses were their headcrab-stricken owners. Although I never let them live. They weren't really alive when I'd shown up anyway. It's like if you saw a loved one become a zombie, you know you'd have to shoot them because they were the same body, but not the same person.

First off, that Finnish dude TOTALLY stole my haircut. What a dick. Second, did that turkish guy beating up the rocks remind anyone else of a really pissed off Judd Hirsch? Either they look really similar at some points in the video, or I've finally gone off the deep end, so please reassure me that I've still got some hold over my mental state.

Nah, he just smashed a monolith into it. Much like the russians, but with more crazy monkeys killing each other.

Bastard, my french speakingness was too slow to notice this thread. Just out of curiosity, how many of us DO speak? There's Masque, polo_lapin (welcome aboard), apparently Rodi to some extent, and myself. Who else we got?

Bastard. Remind me to never highlight your spoilers again.

"Snakes on a Plane 2: Mongoose's revenge" You know you all want to see it...

I really have nothing of import to say, but I felt bad that one of my posts knocked this off the main page's "cursing, cursing, cursing" theme. Thus, balance is restored.

It would be kinda cool to see how the world has assimilated this alien crap and found a way to use it to the animals' advantage. On another note, I must've screwed up pretty bad on that sand trap part. I just ended up using the gravity gun to swap between a single piece of sheet metal and a pallet and would stand on one, then put the other in front of me. Repeat. A million fucking times until I'd explored the entire beach. It was the only part of the game that DIDN'T totally suck me in. Wandering around on the way into the citadel was pretty sweet though, and that bit where you had to find your way around using those giant ground-pounding things was astonishing for me because it was the first thing I played after hooking up my 5.1 setup. Goddamn, the entire house rattled every time. It was beautiful. Can't wait for the expansion, enemies or no.

Don't feel bad, it's kind of a hobby around here. Welcome to the forums, btw. I prefer the genesis account of pant-shitting myself. "And God did look upon all His creation, from the mightiest beast to the lowliest insect, and He did say unto Himself 'holy fucking shit, I did it' and did promptly void His bowels with such speed and force that the very mountains did tremble with fear." It never specifically mentions pants, but I believe that a creative interpretation of the passage will make it clear.
