Nov 1st is also All Saints Day, and even more importantly, my birthday. :P
Every time I play something that isn't a part of the Source engine to curb my excitement for HL2... I get bored and make believe I'm shooting headcrabs and that every woman I see is Alyx. :)
So a pirate walks into a bar with a steering wheel on his fly... wait a second, that's not HL2!
Nice jokes folks. Got a chuckle out of me on a couple. (I liked the G-Man/G-spot one as well :P )
I want Rome, but instead I bought a lab manual and paid off a parking ticket. Oh yay for college.
Right now I'm biding my time with WarHammer: Dawn of War, CS:S, and a little bit of console sauce thrown in for good measure (mostly ESPN NFL2k5 and ESPN NHL2k5... both rented... and overdue)...
I've noticed the Gamorrean Guard squeal from Dark Forces in a lot of films. Also noticed the music from AvP 1 and the ambient wind noise from Unreal 1 in some movies as well.
Go figure.
PS. See Doctor Strangelove, the movie is great... and a bit crazy!
Guys, I hate to be a downer, but I'm pretty sure breaking stuff will be almost exactly the same in the SP. The videos look almost exactly the same as what's in CS:S so...
I think we're a long ways away from having infinite break points and fully deformable worlds as of right now. But... HL2...
I never touched the script. I saw the build, but it was so buggy/had nothing in it of much value that it ruined nothing for me.
Thank God for that.
On the other hand, watching the videos over and over and looking at every screenshot may have dropped some of the surprises for me. I know...
This whole thread is crazy. Hope to God no "outsider" that isn't a gamer reads this thread about a pixellated woman. It will only reinforce their opinions of gamers being dateless nerds who jack off to anime pr0n.
Note: Yeah, I think Alex isnt too bad looking myself. :P
Well, I imagine that any enemy that has eyes will have the eyes stare at you and blink and such. They may not have advanced facial expressions and such, but their eyes'll blink more than likely and if they have mouths they will probably move pretty convincingly. That's just theory though. :P
Some people amaze me. How exactly did Valve, "have it coming" as you say? No company deserves their game to be pirated, it was hard earned and hard worked for. If anything Valve deserves a pat on the back for keeping the game secret for so long (and personally I would have kept it secret...
Watch the E3 2003 videos, and watch the videos from recently. There are some nice changes in them if you watch for physics, fluid animations, cosmetics, and gameplay. For example, I've noticed that the zombie skins have changed a bit, as have the animations for City 17 folks. Or am I...
If HL DM came out, I'd personally get tired of HL DM, CS:S, and DoD:S, instead of just CS:S and DoD:S. Gameplay types are all the same, so what's going to make it better for me? Nothing. Graphics are just cosmetics, I'll play for 2 weeks ooo'ing and ahhh'in in DoD: S just like I did in CS...
Unfortunate, but by the way the entire Half-Life 2 production has gone, would it be surprising in the least? Nothing surprises me anymore.
Just another punch to the gut. It's too bad really, as much as Valve tries to help their community out with mods and such, they seem to get the shit...
KidRock, it's almost impossible to find an unbiased website stating all of the things you ask for. I've been looking myself for one but have been unable to find one. :(
I'm reporting her license plate. :P Just kidding, I dont even live in Europe. Yeah that's a pretty bad parking job heh.
The sad thing is that it's safe to make women jokes on these forums because the only woman I'm currently aware of browsing them is One Day... and she's busy getting...
Just sifting through the steam forums to follow this crazy hoax today made my brain hurt. Glad the good people are shifting to these forums.
Maybe Valve'll decide to quietly move here as well. :)
I hope this all doesnt become a daily thing. "HL 2 IS RELEASED IN HICKVILLE! REJOICE!" then the Steam servers crash because everyone is crapping their pants...
But wouldnt it just be the icing on the cake that is HL2 if it were prematurely released? It's had so many crazy headlines, why...
