  1. Half-Life 3

    http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012/11/11/gabe-newell-might-have-announced-source-2-possibly/ News, kind of.
  2. Movie/TV recommendations

    What the hell did they do? Well, maybe. We'll see.
  3. Life

    Saying goobye is a bit dramatic though. If you just leave it as is, then by the time it turns out she really has moved on and isn't interested in being friends anymore, you won't give a shit either. Possibly. Edit: What Gwardinen said.
  4. The Walking Dead

    I have no particular order other than that I really agree with you on the 2nd episode. A lot of favorite moments spread across the episodes. Really looking forward to episode 5.
  5. Life

    Sounds like a raving zealot to me. Irrational and a bit hateful. And the chicken on my pizza tastes like dirt.
  6. The threat of Big Dog

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?&v=_qUPnnROxvY Man and machine, power x-treme.
  7. Never saw those 2 guys before. That video also linked to this one: http://www.comedycentral.com/video-clips/xwnjlx/key-and-peele-liam-neesons Funny dudes!
  8. Half-Life 3

    That's pretty much what he said, yea: source Oh, he also elaborated a bit here.
  9. Chris Roberts' new space combat sim

    I wouldn't say it's the 'right' direction, rather that it's 'a' direction. It's a similar kind of difference between playing Arma 2 and Call of Duty. The former has a higher barrier of entry and way less mass appeal, but the experience that it gives does not really compare. So I'll be whipping out the ol' joystick the moment I get a chance to take a ride in mah spaceship. With my joystick and Oculus Rift, I'm gonna look so cool. So cool.
  10. New people: Read this, say hi.

    That was close.
  11. Sui Generis (Kickstarter)

    The combat reminds me of QWOP in a way, in that it looks wonky as shit.
  12. Life

    Sorry. I imagine mah American buds are quite relieved it's finally over!
  13. Life

    Barack Hussein? He some kinda muslim terr'rist?
  14. Life

    Got up at 5 in the morning, looking forward to watching the Daily Show and Colbert Report live. Dutch comedy central advertised this event the past days. "Sorry, this video is unavailable from your location" Thanks, assholes.
  15. Natural Selection 2

    But likewise the alien commander can lay down eggs that you can use. Is that not the same thing?
  16. Oh oh, as a formerly huge fan of Star Wars, I'm super curious to know what exactly he does in these books. And yea, the point spending thing is correct. Although, when your family droid gives you your lightsaber, if you hit it enough times with said weapon, he'd explode and you'd instantly be 100% darkside.
  17. General Video Game Deals Thread

    Rage, for all its prettiness, is a pretty forgettable experience.
  18. I was watching a talk and a very familiar quote came by. Anyone interested in the GDC talk from the OP, it's called Ahead of the Game - Ethics of Modern Game Development. It should be available for free. And I don't know why I don't just link it. So there you go.
  19. How far will you go for a scary game?

    I still haven't finished it either.
  20. Mass Effect

    Hey, listen. Watch out.
  21. Dear fucking Christ, that's awful, but also great. I can hear that shit reverberating inside of my head, like something scratching the inside of my skull, trying to get out. Still, Queen.
  22. I remember the Too Human NeoGAF debacle. It was already ridiculous at the time, but jeez, FOR or AGAINST? To recap, a portion of the NeoGAF community dog piled on top of Too Human for looking awful and Denis Dyack coming in to prove that his game wasn't shit. I looked it up and this was the challenge he presented: "When the game is released and everyone plays game all the speculation will be over. If I am wrong and gamers in general think the game is 'crap' then I am comfortable with getting tagged 'Owned by the GAF'." And on the other side, if the game did turn out to be good, everyone who claimed AGAINST would get the tag "Owned by Too Human." I think I remember that backfiring on him. In the same week, he went on the 1Up Yours podcast, talking about that whole debacle and explaining himself (pulling the quotes from here): "I went through all of this for two reasons.... If you're going to look at the NeoGAF forum as a non-profit organization, if it does not reform itself, it's eventually going to crumble. There's going to be a point where they step over the line where someone's going to shut them down. That would be a loss for everyone.... The question I have to ask the moderators of GAF: Are you going to follow your own rules? With people making GIFs of myself that are, I would say, attacking me.... Why haven't 180 people been banned now? If I wanted to move in and shut that place down, do I have grounds under their own forum policy?" Supposedly the thread was like an experiment to "expose the lack of accountability in online forums", but in reality he was just butthurt that his game was getting panned by people who hadn't played it yet and had only seen videos. "NeoGAF and other forums like this that don't have good management are not only hurting society and hurting the Video game industry, they're in decline, and they need to reform quickly before people stop listening to them.... If the moderators and people who run the site think they aren't doing any damage, they are sorely mistaken, and it's only a matter of time before something bad happens." -- Denis Dyack What do you call that again? Iro... Ironastical?
  23. How far will you go for a scary game?

    In a way, that game had shades of Amnesia (even if it predates Amnesia). The whole beginning parts, not giving you a way to fight back. And 'the chase'. That was really tense and scary when I last played it. I'd say when you do start getting guns, especially towards the end it kind of falls apart. I still remember it as an interesting game though.
  24. Plug your shit

    For all the fucks, it's aurally very pleasing.
