The build is from August of this year? The news blurb says, "We've been told the video shows a fairly old build of the Source reimaginaging of Half-life 1 chapter 'On a Rail'." And they have this voice actor for quite a while haven't they? I dunno, it seems like they are suffering from their...
This is the problem with teams that go really underground. We have no idea how new/old this is. All we know is that it is all we have, and humans judge based on what they see. We see some pretty big issues, and until the BM team counters it with either an official comment or a new demonstration...
For the Soldier voices I was actually really disappointed that they aren't really modified to sound like they are over a radio during combat. There was just something really iconic about it and dehumanized them. When I am shooting them in the face I don't want to think of them as people. I'd be...
I feel that Bethesda very well could mess this up, but a Stalker title on one of the most easily modded engines out there? If Bethsda messes it up, I'm pretty sure the awesome Russian modders will fix it.
ARMA 2 has as much training time in it as most modern day shooters have play time. Fun game yes, but the view it is for military nerds is really closer to the truth than not.
Give me a break on the title, I was at Easter dinner with my family =[
Also, to the rest, we're not there yet, but eventually things stop being a gimmick. The mouse was a gimmick when it first came out too. At some point it will be a solid and natural method of input and will just be. I can...
Half-Life 2's relative simplicity and versatility has encouraged many hardware and interface developers to make it one of the first stops for testing out their work. Milan Toth has recently demonstrated his iPhone application Remotion to raise some hell in City 17.
Using it seems simple and...
Yeah, how about we not call them "Bitches." It is disrespectful as all hell, and before you even think of replying that it was only a joke, well guess what: It's not funny.
Calling Mike a "bitch" is ok. Calling women in a photo "bitches" because they are women is not. Seriously, grow up.
It seems to me that cancellation is the best thing to happen to this. Look at those controls, they are horrid! Can you imagine using one hand to move, the other to steer, and then somehow placing portals? My guess is that you'd tap one control or the other, which means that you would either stop...
Testing signature. There might be an issue. I say limit it to 2-3 lines max, or have the ability to turn off signatures, or hide them in something like a spoiler tag but a little more elegant.
Frankly, I don't care to read people's sigs when they are 4 times bigger than their average post.
F2P works best with properties with large established player bases. Team Fortress 2 was already one of the more popular multiplayer games out there. You already had this huge market. Even if only 1% of players spend 1 dollar once a month, well with a massive player base that "trickle" of cash...
Got through Precursor last night. It is a competent mod. The voice acting is actually good for a change (and DOESN'T have Phillip's voice in it which frankly was a nice change from his detrimental proliferation into the voice acting on mods). It was an enjoyable game with some interesting...
So, this mod got released 2 days ago. It is about as important looking as this was. Maybe it should be on the main page too?

I don't understand what criteria a main page news item requires. It seems entirely arbitrary.
