Since 2007, I graduated high school, spent 9 years at university across 4 different cities, finally graduated, moved back to my hometown and got a job as a genetic counsellor. Still play games (probably more than I should), and otherwise just enjoying not being a student anymore.
As others have said, the graphics look gorgeous. The short "gameplay" clips looked pretty cool (like how "solid" the world looks), but I'm hoping we see longer uninterrupted footage at the VGAs.
Whew, I can finally dust off this old account.
I'm very interested to see how this turns out. Since it's been 12 years since the last Half Life game, there's going to be a lot of pressure to turn out something good. VR has some good games right now, but nothing considered to be a killer app...
I visit that Tane website occasionally even to this day.
Speaking of signatures, clicked on yours and rediscovered that thread of Willie's from 2007. Can't believe that was 10 years ago now.
Even though I don't post as much anymore, I can't shake the habit of checking this site periodically. It's just a "muscle memory" of sorts for me at this point.
Happy to see familiar faces who are still around though!
It probably hadn't sunk in for them yet. You spend countless hours, days, weeks, months, practicing to get it this far, it must feel pretty surreal to finally make it. Also you're right that they were exhausted at the end. They said they were probably going to take at least a month break from...
Great competition, much more entertaining to watch than last year's. Lots of upsets (especially CDEC, holy crap did they play well), and an amazing all-star match to boot.
Ha, true, though I'm not on here nearly as much as I used to be. Maybe someday this place will pick up again once Valve announces another game as opposed to speculation or updates to existing games.
Good change of plan. Would've been extremely silly to ignore the platform that the original was developed for, especially since it's genre isn't as popular as 15 years ago.
