I expect to see this playing in our outdoor theater next year, but failing that, I'll rent it on DVD. I do plan on watching it though, but it doesn't strike me as something that benefits from a theater experience. I grew up in arcades (in more ways than one), and have heard from...

I'm down... I've been playing Borderlands 2 way too much, and almost forgot about the TF2 Halloween event (which is always fun). I realize your post is from Tuesday (three days ago), but I'll be playing later this evening. I'm in California, so that's Pacific Standard Time... if you're playing...

No mention of fast zombies? What made Ravenholm scary (among many things) was hearing the noises of some unknown beast, somewhere in town. The quiet abandonment and leftover battle scars raised the anticipation of whatever was making that sound. You're used to slow, lethargic zombies (gross, but...

I'm leveling her up now, and there is a hint of that in her gameplay. In game, all I hear are her comments (like when I'm comparing weapons, or she gets a headshot, which aren't bad), but there's some tape of her online to fill some backstory which definitely sounds like an annoying preteen (I...

Is it? Man, I've got numerous hours of leveling to do in Borderlands 2 before I get back around to playing TF2, but this sounds delicious.

What skill did you add to the turret that made a huge difference? I'm probably going to respec soon.

I certainly take my WASD muscle memory for granted - I recall the first video game muscle memory I developed was using both hands (two fingers each) to play Cosmic Cruncher on the Commodore 64. It took a while, but once you make the step away from 'thinking' about the button presses, and can...

I've only ever played singleplayer... someone asked for help with Wilhelm today, and we couldn't get connected. I tried adding the '-tcp' flag to the startup command, but that's about as far as I'll go with that. I like to spend a lot of time exploring the levels, listening to what the...

Man... too much Borderlands 2... I read that in Tiny Tina's voice. Anyway, that's a fine yarn. I always figured the Advisors were the, uh, 'parents' of the Combine. Advisors as a third party is interesting, if hard to swallow (the Combine sure seem to be looking after them more than would...

I'm lovin' this game so far. I took two vacation days to get comfortably into this, and it's been time well spent. I don't know how to describe it... gameplay is fun, looks great, but there's a depth, a variety, a richness to it. There's so much detail in the various locations, the maps are...

It took some getting used to for me, but I found a good dentist and have never 'felt' the needle, and just needed to get over the initial fear of seeing that syringe coming for my mouth. Try talking him into putting some of the novacane (or whatever he's using) on a q-tip and putting that on the...

Skip it - landed a good random bunch of guys and got it done. That was one of the most intense and enjoyable firefights I've ever been in.

Day #2 trying to defeat wave 8 on Data Demolition was met with failure yet again. While optimism remains high, I may need to hook up with a more experienced team. Anyone here in valvetimedotnetland know how to handle a weapon in TF2? I'm looking for a few good players. As hilariously...

The 8-wave advanced level for Decoy (Data Demolition, I think) is unusually difficult... we could not get past level 8 after a few hours of trying. Having two engineers instead of an extra offensive class was probably our undoing, but once you've got upgraded weapons, it's rough to switch later...

I think this game mode is super fun... the most cooperation I've ever seen on a TF2 server. I think we had it set to advanced. I haven't played enough to know the difference, but we started with very little money, and got our asses handed to us repeatedly. Two tanks in a row on Coal with...

An expansion is out for Hard Reset - more robot-killin' goodness. I need to find a way to tweak some variables, namely the run speed... as a hark back to Doom-era games, this game would be immensely more fun if I had any speed other than 'mosy' and 'saunter for a few steps'. It's free if you...

Banana peels? Navel lint? Goldfish? Wooden planks? What's going on here. The Internet is awash in speculation - if Valve's intention was to throw people mysterious, subtle clues about something, mission accomplished.

I saw this most of a week ago, and I'm still dealing with the dissonance between 'should be a good R. Scott film' and 'WTF did I just watch'.

Gabe? Do you read this? Don't push our buttons like that - it's inhumane.

I had a wall of text written, but figured I could condense it as follows: I will be outside, probably on a mountain bike: sometimes I'll ride it to a swimming hole or river, sometimes I'll ride it to places where I'll camp overnight. Exceptions to this revolve around release dates for...
