I did that around the same time last year, actually. Ya know, when some people still believed it was going to make Sep 30. Gabe just gave me a BS line like 'we'll see' in response to my asking if it'd make the 30th date. Hmmm...perhaps I should make another visit?

Well...it's 6:15 pm here, and I live about 20 minutes away from Valve. Anyone's pre-load start yet?

Thx for all the input guys!

Saw a recommendation for this on another forum in response to a gamer's artifacting issues with D3. He had same card as me, 9800 Pro, and I, too, am experiencing these same overheating problems. Since this seems like a real good deal for a cooling solution (on sale for $14 at local shop) I'd...

Hey just from watching the Ravenholm bink I know I'm gonna enjoy it more than Doom 3. So many titillating possibilities with physics!

Believe me I haven't been crossing my fingers for any of these 'dates'. I've been used to this sort of thing from them for a while now, as have many others. As soon as I saw the pre-load date, I thought 'wonder how long after that date until it actually starts'. I know it would be better if we...

Yeah, what were we thinking? A game company gives dates for releases and makes little to none of them (Steam updates etc). It's one thing for them to hint at several release happenings (HL-2 pre-load, HL-2 release date) but almost every Steam update? They need to shut their mouth and just...

If my friend had his way Hentai girls would do *favors* for him all day long.

And how much money do you think Valve gave them for that to be possible? :) And let's take a look at the current crop of Source benchmarks! Who comes out on top? Lookey lookey! ATI! Yay! Gabe was pimping ATI a year ago (hell I bought my 9800 Pro based on his own recommendation to me; and many...

EXACTLY So. For all those that keep spewing 'they owe you nothing' please realize we're not our for blood (not me at least). Good lord we just want the damn game lol! I'd much prefer a low-profile level of silence for all things dev/release-related until they actually occur. This is not a...

Oh yes they do! I believe Erik Johnson started a thread of his own on here several days ago. Had his official Valve stamp next to his name and everything. They do come here, that's for sure. I remember Gabe posting on here around this time last year. Don't know if he's done it since...

Wow...are you way off the mark. You think they don't enjoy making these games, hmmm? What's all this bullshit about 'living their lives'? They make hella bank, especially coming from Gabe's Micro$oft pockets. A great team of artists, designers, and programmers from all walks of life...

They really do need to adopt a 'when it's done' policy for all things release date-related. For things like the pre-load, don't say shit until it has actually started to pre-load. Then make your PR rounds and contacting the various game sites about the news. TBH I don't know the release date...

That's what I was thinking, Cooper. Recurring civilian characters perhaps? Just cause they were in the train station doesn't mean they're different people.

Amen to that. Good point, though. Making separate holding postures for each item? That would take a lot of time.

Abstinance is the key.

What do you mean by hinted? Sometimes game magazines have upcoming reviews/previews listed in copies that go several issues before appearing. Oh, and good lord my heart skipped a beat when I read that. I was hoping it was an online review you'd found, hopefully with a provided link!

Armadillo Aerospace? That's his company that was working to win the X-Prize, right? What happened? I've got to hear how this went down. The idea of Carmack funding an aerospace project is pure hilarity. Given, the man is a genious, but game programmer to aerospace? Doesn't sound like a...

I'm not sure about this, but you may have been steam'd.

Pretty sure a preview build which Gamespy played around last fall mentioned that using the shotgun on the legs was the ticket to bringing it down. Dunno if they've changed damage allocation or not since then, though.
