    Portal 2 spoiler thread

    I heard that as "I'll stop feeling so glad", which to me seems even stronger when coupled with the "Caroline Deleted" bit - GLaDOS is lying that she wants Chell gone in order to give her freedom, worried that if Chell didn't leave right then, she couldn't trust herself not to turn back into the...

    Funniest Parts?

    "Holmes versus Moriarty. Aristotle vs SMASHY SPIKE PLATE!" I actually died from the smashy spike plate because I was laughing too hard to notice the way out.

    New Nintendo Console @ E3

    And the single greatest headache mankind has ever faced. Honestly though, I can see where Nintendo wants to go with this. When tossing up between equal systems people look to the exclusives, and there is no better first-party developer than Nintendo. If they could also crack into the third...

    Help Get Portal 2 Released Early - OVERCLOCK HAS BEGUN, Release Incoming!

    This may need more clarifying: (1) Portal 2 will launch early based on the "Projected Launch" bar being set back each time a game is completed - this is solely if all progress bars have not been filled before the countdown ends, and will only push it back by about 45 mins per game. (2) Portal...

    Mass Effect 3

    Yep. If you are going to buy all the DLC content, don't bother with Kazumi's Memories or whatever that one's called. I only recommend Arrival because it's evidently plot essential and not all that bad. Shadow Broker is better and longer than Arrival and likely just as plot relevant, I really...

    Mass Effect 3

    Arrival is a bit over an hour in length and would be the equivalent quality of... some of the better companion missions? Your money's best spent elsewhere if you don't really care about actively playing through the story. There undoubtedly will be a quick recap of the events of Arrival at the...

    Mass Effect 3

    It's a dick move, definitely. But for someone who has actually played the DLC it's a welcome one, because there wasn't really any other reasonable way of restarting Shepard and breaking the fellowship rather than killing him/her again. Though frankly given the ending of ME2 I would have...

    Valve ARG Continues - Gabe Sends Me Strange Image

    The image file names are anagrams of "reboot process". Wakey wakey, rise and bakey.

    Aperture Science Investment Opportunity Video 3: Turrets

    "This is the same technology we've been using on robots for decades." A subtle reference to the Android remarks?

    Source Code (by director of Moon) is out

    Should be noted that the director of Moon is Duncan Jones, aka Zowie Bowie, son of guess who. Should also be noted that this film has limited release and as far as I know isn't up for viewing in Australia. Considering how much I loved Moon, please for the love of god tell me if you know...

    Does gaming truly belong to the casuals now?

    The simplification and refinement of rpg mechanics in mass effect made ME2 a better game. DA2 would have been a better game, had they possessed the time to polish it. Crysis 2 is receiving generally favourable reviews on all consoles, especially for the PC. Meanwhile, there are plenty of rpgs...

    Valve to Release "Meet the Medic" Soon

    Looks like it could be a revival of LMNO - a project by Doug Church (who just recently joined Valve) and Spielberg that was canned by EA. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdtEIkxWguU

    The future of PC gaming according to Microsoft

    Damn good thing Gabe left when he did, or I'd actually have to put up with this shit.

    Mass Effect 3

    From what I've heard the comic books/novels just expand the existing lore - the redemption series is pretty much explained through the course of the Shadow Broker DLC, and the others just give narrative to the established background readily available in the codex, sans the evolution series which...

    Mass Effect 3

    Really, you only need to play Shadow Broker so far. Overlord's good quality, but has minimal bearing on the plot. Kasumi is average and pointless. Shadow Broker is great and hugely plot relevant - get it! NOW!

    AT&T Implementing Data Caps

    Now the rest of the world can feel our pain! Although I now have a cap of 100GB and rarely go over 50. But I've spent years going from a 10GB cap, to a 20, and lastly a 30GB cap and being careful each time not to break the limit until the last day. And our speed and coverage is still...
