    If Half-Life 3 is officially announced at GDC 2012, you will find a 5120x1440 wallpaper of myself, uncovered and completely naked, in this thread. I am not kidding, and I am not going to back on this promise.

    Quoting for posterity.

    I think the idea is interesting, but like every idea Valve concocts it's fucking insane. I'd love to see it if they can pull it off, but I'd worry about what size audience actually exists for the product.

    It actually isn't a bad idea, although perhaps it was poorly implemented.

    A lot of people don't know what all those numbers mean. Dumbing it down makes it easier for people to know what to buy. A difficult task, to be sure.

    Oh it's certainly a good idea, but practically every part of it's implementation is miserable.

    Rea: When I go to SoCal regionals and I see a Phoenix [from Marvel vs. Capcom 3] on main stage getting blown up and there’s some dude in the audience just yelling “Bitch! Bitch!” every time she gets hit and then she killed and goes “Yeah, rape that bitch!” Yeah, that’s totally acceptable! Really? Really? You’re going to tell me that’s acceptable?

    Bakhtanians: Look, man. What is unacceptable about that? There’s nothing unacceptable about that. These are people, we’re in America, man, this isn’t North Korea. We can say what we want. People get emotional.

    "What is unacceptable about that? There's nothing unacceptable about that."

    A person said that. :getmecoat

    My father finds jokes about death just as distasteful as you find rape jokes, does that mean we should all stop making jokes about death? No. There's a difference between hate speech/defamation/misogyny and humor. Sorry, but if you want to limit free speech and artist freedom, I just can't follow you on that.

    For the record, I don't like rape jokes, I simply think people should be allowed to make them if they want to.

    So there's a girl in my Photography class, and the point is I'm into her.

    Only problem is, I've never really dealt with this type of thing before because I've always been too afraid, but I feel like I should do something about it for once.

    She's been extraordinarily nice to me, goes out of her way to sit next to me and when she sees me outside of class she always says hi with a massive smile, etc. I don't want to over analyse anything here, but this seems pretty clear, right?

    Figuring out what to do is breaking my mind.

    Genius... but that's the thing. I still don't feel totally protected. He could still claim I never returned the item, no matter what I send :(

    The way I see it you're fucked in any case, so you might as well have some fun with it.

    Isn't it likely the game will require Origin as well?

    It's not likely, it's definite. All EA games will henceforth require Origin to play, you can quote me on that.

    Deal with it or stop playing EA games.
