Why read his mind? The rest of the world was able to pick up on it without using psychic powers.

whaaa! Scary if you spend your life thinking about how horribly your gonna die instead of how well your gonna live. Your right tho...alot of people in this country are paranoid little bitches. Hence the idiots bed

Theres no point...

rofl...your 19 and calling a 22 year old "old", when can name "oingo Boingo" songs :P Too funny But I agree...alot of the anime geeks I know seem to think Japan is this mecca of cool anime gamers, where everyone embraces sci-fi, fantasy and animation. When ironically, commercialism over there...

Not really...they just know how too write a good story, but its just as designed to appeal to the largest amount of people as anything else in the genre, theyre just better at it. Valve would never design a game they knew wouldnt appeal to the mass market. They would never design a game they...

When did people on this forum start to concern themselves with sources and credibility? People here have jumped on every HL2/Valve/vivendi rumor or misinturpretation that happened across the net for the last 18 months. BTW thats aimed at noone in particular, just in general.

Marketing is a science my friend, your logic does not apply, even if it made good sense. Wich I cant say it does. I cant beleive that that everyone is arguing this, when weve lived with it our whole lives. More sales occur during the holiday season than any other time of the year. More people...

You forget the whole part about publishers paying the developers salaries and development costs for the years that the games are being developed. Yes theyre a racket, but they serve thier purpose. Quality games cost millions of dollars to produce, and most developers arent independently...

The guy is dog

Are people already playing HL2? Am I missing something? Your assumption of what HL2's gameplay will be like should be better than what Far Crys game play is like? Imo Far cry seemed like its movement was modeled identically to that of HL1, with the addition of a stamina bar and sprint. Both...

That pic is your evidence? Not that theres anything there that we sould be worrying about (if its true or not) exept maybe that everything in the world links back to thier album name. Have to kinda question thier credibility when they put themselves at the center of the universe.

Half-Life 2 was deleayed because Valve was blackmailing Vivendi. Vivendi is working for shareholders....they dont have the luxury of dicking around, Valve does and has. Valve is the one who threatened delays and then followed through. Valve didnt announce the first delay so that they could sell...

At this point I'll get it when I get around to it, I wont be rushing out for it or pre-ordering or any of that. I've all but lost intrest. Plus Im broke. Prolly go thru steam when I get it.

agreed Sporky, although I think Vivendi want to release the game regardless of the lawsuit and start making a profit and Valve seems quite content with sitting on it just to piss of VU. If the first RC doesnt go gold, I expect weeks and weeks before Valve finishes up a second.

Dude, dont take the word "Publisher" at face value. "Publishers" pay for development, they pay for advertising, they pay for retail production, "publishing" and more. If more aspects were handled indepenndently from a single entity (ie the publisher) things would be a nightmare, there would be...

This is capitalism, you can go create the hell out of whatever you want, there are no rules restricting you. Share it, give it away, do what you like, but remember...this is capitalism, the minute you try and sell it, all your bs goes out the window. You have a pretty skewed view of things...

Your kidding me right? All this means is that Bigtime publishers will find a way (probably much like steam) to control all means of online distribution. Developers dont go to publishers because they need someone to take care of shipping, they go to them because they need someone to pay for the...

Did you guys read the article? It basically said Valve has been causing delays to spite Vivendi. They are screwing us just to stick it to thier publisher. Screw Valve and Vivendi. Valve sure as hell arent without fault, I beleive every allegation against Valve for underhanded doings. Theyve done...

No, these scenarios dont play out with or without IP laws involved. What does it matter? By this example everything HL goes down the drain, Vivendi makes a crap game, and valve gets to make some other game that has absolutely no Gordon Freeman, black Mesa, City 17, Striders, Headcrabs etc...

"Everything"? Its a single carton of milk.... Besides, aliens are turning everyone into zombies, people grab what they can and flee to these strongholds (Assuming there is more than just city 17) and bring what they can with them. Also, I seriously doubt the combine is producing milk for the...
