    Another HL2 question :D

    I believe those are called 'mortar synths'. I'm not sure if they were cut from game play, or were only meant for this cinematic for this episode.

    Stalker 2 officially cancelled. working on F2P FPS instead

    I didn't read the article... does it say why they were unable to secure the rights? Price too steep? Flat-out denied? Someone else is secretly working on it? I'd love another installment of Stalker.

    Valve Working on Native Linux version of Steam and Source Engine

    You don't suppose that porting the presumably new Source engine is responsible for some of the wait time for Episode 3? Not that there's anything wrong with that, just curious. I too am looking forward to this Linux port for a number of reasons not all of which are related to 'Windows-b-gone'...

    "I'm working at Valve on nextgen gaming hardware" - Jeri Ellsworth

    At first, I thought she was hitting her monitor. Also, that Tektronix 'scope on her desk is the same model we use at work.

    Arizona Abortion Bills Pass; redefines life as 2 weeks BEFORE conception

    So would a 'regular' homicide be treated as multiple homicides if the victim was fertile? Victim could have been on his or her way to knockin' out some triplets over the weekend, and now you've killed four people.

    Games: Rate and Discuss

    That looks like it'd be fun, too bad it's a PS3 exclusive. Also, Morse code would work with the singing, no? Loud for dashes, soft for dots? Not that anyone you randomly get selected with would likely know how to handle that.

    Sonic 2 HD demo contains a keylogger

    I may download it as a "safe" test of my AV.

    Borderlands 2 "gameplay blowout"

    I'm playing Borderlands for the first time now (two playthroughs with Roland, Lilith, and midway through the second with Mordecai). I've never played it with other people, and I think it's great. When this sequel comes out, I may try some co-op.

    Knives and other stuff.

    No, just the steel (non-abrasive). Not while in the butcher shop (I have one at home). I used the chef knife for those sorts of cuts.

    Knives and other stuff.

    The boning and chef knives were kept at a larger angle since they were meant to take the regular abuse of hitting and separating bones. The filet and slicer were kept at a smaller angle since they would be crossing flesh only, but I would occasionally use the filet knife to clear the meat out of...

    Knives and other stuff.

    I was a meatcutter for twelve years, and I can still take apart a side of beef pretty quickly. I kept four knoves and a pair of scissors: 12" Granton Edge slicer (Messermeister) 10" Chef Kinfe (J.A. Henckels) 7" Super-flex Grand Prix filet knife (Wusthof Trident) 6" Semi-stiff curved boning...

    This is where I camped on my last bike packing trip earlier this year.

    Poll #2 About our Rating System

    I think it could be useful to have multiple ratings, but it certainly depends on what they are. What is the intent behind these ratings on this site? The choice of rating options will indicate somewhat the theme/tone of this community. Slashdot.org, for example, has rating types that focus...

    What do you do when your playtesters say there are too many Skags? Triple the number of Skags!

    I'm trying to picture the tester playing Skag Gulley with a third of the current Skag population who thinks "there are too many Skags here". I think I'll name him Nancy.

    Valve Possibly Making 'Steam Box' Console

    I don't know how anyone manages to play without a trackball. Also, this appears to be a PC in a box, no? They're just providing a baseline PC spec for developers to target. While it comes with a controller, I would be flabbergasted if this box didn't accept traditional (USB) keyboard/mouse...

    Bioshock Infinite Release date announced: March 26th 2013

    This would be a day-one purchase for me, but I want to see how bad the DRM and consolitis is first. I generally don't mind most DRM schemes, but the GFWL+Steam+SecuROM soup in Bioshock 2 was a little rough. While much consolitis going around is just an annoyance, having unfixable, undocumented...

    Where will you be on February 6th, 2040?

    I should be retired at 68. I've been playing Rage and Borderlands... I'm good to go.
