I can't stand people not speaking English. The game can require some pretty in-depth communication in some matches. Also, what really makes me mad is when they speak Spanish or Portugese the entire game except at the end when they start spamming "team noobs" in all chat. I hate them. It's making me hate non-English-speaking people. Which is the worst. HATE. I've experienced a not insignificant number of friendly players who don't speak English well, but they're easily the minority. Then again, I guess the same can be said about people who do speak English. BLEHHHHHHCHCHCHH. The number of incidents with Russians has drastically decreased since they added that option. Still get a few every now and then, but it's nothing compared to what seems like 50% Spanish/Portugese (I honestly can't tell the difference, I'm the worst). Hopefully it'll just take a few days/weeks for them to catch up to the idea of playing among themselves.

It's good to know that even though they have options now to only play with Portugese or Spanish speaking people, they all continue to choose to play on my servers and make me angry.

I despise losing, so I have fun half the time.

Oh dang! First episode with the blue aliens. It's the blue aliens and what happened with Chloe that I think made me really dislike Universe the first time around. LET'S SEE HOW IT GOES THIS TIME.

L4D3 is definitely a real possibility, since we already know that's in the works, along with a couple code-named projects, and Source 2. Oh. Actually I bet the third announcement is Source 2, along with a game running on it.

I'm still sorta bemused. They already announced game sharing with this (and even before this)! I don't think they'll do it AGAIN as one of a series of big super announcements. One is obviously Steambox, as surmised. I'm mostly interested in the streaming, as I don't much have any interest in installing SteamOS on my personal computer. If I can get a cheapo box and throw it in my living room for media and game streaming, I'll be pretty pleased.

Man I am liking Stargate: Universe a whole fuck of a lot more than I did the first time around. It's not perfect, but it's pretty good sci-fi TV, eh. In a lot of ways, it's among my favorite sci-fi TV! Normally I separate Stargate from the rest, because it's so cheesy and dumb the majority of the time, but SGU takes itself pretty seriously, and does so pretty successfully, I think! The only parts I think I dislike are the communication stones. They can get really... awkward. When a person on the ship swaps bodies with a person back on Earth, and ship-person then goes and sleeps with their significant other in a body that isn't theirs... It's questionable. But it also leads up to one of my favorite dynamics - Young vs Telford. HOO BOY STARGATE GUYS YEAH STARGATE I want new Stargate. I was so sad when Universe ended the first time. I'm even sadder now, knowing it's only two seasons long. ):

Which one would that be? I follow literally zero anime-related websites or blogs, but I think I'd like to start following at least one, so that I'm a bit more up to date on anime in general. Most of the anime I watch tends to be years old. Occasionally I'll accidentally learn about something more recent, but it's rare. (Most of those have been from this thread, even.)

I'm not a huge fan of the bloom, but it is way better overall. Also the bloom looks a lot better in motion than I thought it did in screenshots. I honestly think I might like it more if I just get used to it - my biggest problem with it is just that it looks weird, and that's likely because I'm used to the original lighting. Haha. I liked DK64 a lot back when it came out! I'd kill for a BK rerelease back on a Nintendo platform. Or on PC. (Mostly I just want it on a platform I already own (or plan to own!).) I played the XBLA remake, too, and quite liked it. Those were good games.

losing hard at about 35 minute mark. conversation between teams begins. enemy jokingly feeds a couple times. conversation continues, still losing horribly. QUEUE FIFTY-FIVE MINUTE TURTLE FEST AFTER WHICH THE WIN IS SECURED. WORST DOTA OF MY LIFE NINETY-FUCKING-THREE MINUTES C'MON

yes

srs dscsn: If HL3 was open-world like that, I'd probably be severely disappointed. I'd totally be into a new franchise (or maybe a side story in the Half-Life world) with that structure, but I don't think I want that out of HL3. As I typed that I thought of STALKER, so maybe it could work pretty well...

Couldn't agree more.

Dang, I logged into #idlethumbs on quakenet and no one was there it's like that steam chat no one uses.

Headline isn't that great, but the story... http://news.nationalpost.com/2013/09/19/after-woman-finds-offensive-phrase-inside-bottle-cap-coca-cola-cancels-canadian-promotion/ (courtesy of chris remo twitter)

I always feel nervous when I'm following a woman by chance because I'm worried they're thinking I might be a creep and I don't want them to be worried about me being a creep. You are not alone. IN FACT, I've had more than one occasion where I'm fairly certain a woman has increased her pace just to get away from me. It's not super common or anything, but I've seen a notable increase in pace when we're the only two people on a sidewalk. I'm a tall dude, so I walk pretty fast. It's a bit bizarre to see a woman a foot shorter than me walking faster than me. Sometimes I try to slow down my pace so it doesn't seem like I'm trying to catch up to her... But then it seems like I'm trying to match my pace to hers. Sometimes I'll actually just cross the street even if it's out of the way for me. I do not feel this apprehensive when it's a dude. Maybe that makes me sexist. But mostly I'm just aware of All Of It and so it makes me extra nervous. I hate being a human being, sometimes.

WHOA!

Half-Life 2: Source 2 will also open up entirely new avenues for speed-running while simultaneously halting old ones.

I could see a bizarre multiplayer mode where movement is only done when everyone is actually inputting something. It'd be awful. But also kind of great.

Well, we know for a fact they're working on a Source 2 (a real Source 2), so it stands to reason they'll do Half-Life: Source 2 and Half-Life 2: Source 2 and Ricochet: Source 2.

They could just skip Alien Swarm 2. Also that reminds me how disappointed I am that they didn't continue to support Alien Swarm. I enjoy some top-down multiplayer shootin', but there's not much actual content to that game.

Jesus also died for our sins, but he was resurrected. He was God made flesh. The man-form of God. If God was a man, he'd be his own son.

It's enough for three people, at LEAST!

Jesus is God (and also the Son of God (it's weird)), according to the Christian belief. Muslims believe him to be a prophet. Jews believe him to be a Cool Dude. Best Theory
