    Half-Life 2: Episode Two is Now Available on the NVIDIA SHIELD Android TV

    Thank G-d for emerging monopolies via financial feedback loop!

    Half-Life 2: Episode Two is Now Available on the NVIDIA SHIELD Android TV

    that would be quite depressing because GameWorks is half marketing and half signing a developer into a contract that prevents them from working with AMD

    Half-Life 2: Episode Two is Now Available on the NVIDIA SHIELD Android TV

    the entire platform exists as another market-monopoly impetus the whole point of Nvidia is to profit off of market monopoly, they have no interest in anything approaching open-source

    What are the Advisors?

    The Ep2 Advisor could be a sort of ret-con to update the original incarnation, but it could also just be a subclass of the same species. The Ep2 Advisor seems to have more telekinetic abilities, and the Combine themselves are basically a sort of spiritual species-agnostic movement of...

    Valve is boring and I don't care about them anymore

    Are you purposely ignoring my posts? There is a difference between being an uncaring new member of a community, and being an uncaring old member of a community whom used to care. The whole point of Valvetime.net is to talk about Valve. If a member cared about Valve, and then no longer cares...

    Valve is boring and I don't care about them anymore

    Linux is important though, because it frees developers and users from forms of gatekeeping and from performance overheads that we get from Windows and DirectX platforms. As things are already, you need to pay a hundred bucks or so for a valid Windows license, so you can download DirectX and play...

    Half-life 3 Alyx concepts 'different ages'? 'long fall boots'? 'time travel'?

    Just looks like artists' renditions of potential candidates for the Alyx character before Valve finalised the concept.

    The Pre-Order Thread

    It sort of indirectly does, since preorder numbers can be used as a selling point to drive additional pre-release hype. "Most pre-ordered game for Platform / in Time Period" and whatnot, which can lead to higher sales, and sales are the indicators of what devs/publishers can get away with in...

    Valve is boring and I don't care about them anymore

    There's a technically infinite number of things we all don't care about, but a) we're on a Valve-oriented forum and b) the opinions in question are from someone who once cared about Valve and for whatever reasons no longer cares. So it's about expression and conversation, which is the whole...

    Valve is boring and I don't care about them anymore

    The whole point of this forum is self-expression though. It sounds like you just disagree with his premise regarding Valve. Everyone wants people to know and respond to what they're thinking. That's just natural. I don't agree that Valve is boring as a final statement, but I also don't agree...

    I've been near constantly drunk for several months now

    Melatonin supplements. Lesser, 5-HTP supplements. I already told you Tollbooth Willie, but maybe this will help other people. It will offset the withdrawal of alcohol cessation, and poses little threat of habituation as long as you don't take tons of it for months at a time. You can get it...

    Games: Rate and Discuss

    Splatoon 9/10 Still needs more game modes and more maps, but what's here is top-tier. All the maps and gametypes s(p)lated through August are free, so 14 maps for the pricetag. The gameplay is incredible, very tightly balanced (except for the Krak-On Roller which has an overpowered special)...

    How much? I have a case lying around and my Phantom II is getting incredibly old and under-used.

    NSA shares raw intelligence including Americans' data with Israel

    Yup. And it should be noted that "Israel" as an entity is specifically "Zionist interests infiltrating and manipulating the Israeli government across multiple decades to the point where the entire Israeli parliamentary majority is composed of Zionist interests" rather than simply "Israeli...

    Super Hot

    * SUPERHOT Stylise or get out. Also it looks good but possibly very simplistic once the gameplay options are collapsed.

    Xbox One

    See that's what I want it to be. That's ****ing cool. AOE damage/stat bonuses are easymode game design, aren't interesting, and have a net detriment to The Division's thematic presentation. Things can change quite a bit from now to release, but the fact that it got added *and* used as a selling...

    Xbox One

    Ditto on tablet gameplay for The Division. Just looks like casual bullshit. I was thinking it'd be UAVs-only with straight realistic benefits like getting infrared or regular line-of-sight of enemies, but nope, has to be AOE +50% damage buffs for no reason other than "hey tablets!" The...
