Dang there isn't many of the older members here anymore. What happened to AngryLawyer? Atomicpiggy? Samon? Que-Ever? Kadyai? Asuka? Yorick? Absinthe? Stigmata?
I come back after a few years of being away from gaming and forums, and this place is a bone yard!
Among a time with #GamerGate, #ComicGate and #HugoGate - the general public demands change and real ethical standards in journalism. VNN is doing just the opposite, click bait journalism.
Yeah current version has this weird rainbow colored lightmaps , AI bugs (MarphyBlack has a video of it) and some animation bugs. Steampipe fixed some of it but there was only Alfred working on it... because reasons.
Luckily FV made a fix, I can live with some cosmetic changes.
So what? SoB and Episode 3 had concept art and lines of code in Dota 2 and Portal 2, both of those games got canned. Hey, they could just as easily just stop working on a HL3 if it was being made, when Valve announce it then I'll believe Valve is going to make it.

Shame about it, I kind of miss all the shitposting that used to go in the grander days of hl2.net. Lots of great laughs when I first joined this site: Que-Ever's glorious shitposting, Darkside55 breaking the word filter, the athiest circlejerking that would make you want to tip a fedora (before...
