I don't believe in Hell. I use it as a figure of speech. But we can still be friends... right? :shy:

Do you wake up, post on here for 16 hours, and then go right back to sleep? Every Day? What the hell?

Nothing in the BreenGrub states that they can bend "reality", they can just alter their physical forms. Also, taken in context, "airy nothings" is what the larvae forms consider the mature forms. I don't think you should take that phrase literally. But of course the BreenGrub is not cannon...

I think this is worth disputing. Granted, they are heavily implied to be higher-up in the combine hierarchy, but they were never, not once, stated to be the "leaders" or what-not. I think it is more likely that they, like other synth's (striders, hunters, combine elites, etc.), are what they...

I'll leave this here: https://twitter.com/breengrub An account actually made by Laidlaw. Not necessarily cannon, but I find it very interesting.

I understand though. I also am dissapointed at Valve for the wait, but I don't blame them. Thinking about the situation, it seems hard to blame them without being ridiculous. I am just dissapointed, is all. I'll get excited again once a fun, microtransaction-free, game comes out. Until then...

Here is an excellent article recently written about the subject: http://kotaku.com/stop-preordering-video-games-1713802537 From the article: "There once was a time, 10-15 years ago, when the concept of pre-ordering made sense. Every video game on the market was pressed onto a disc, and those...

Hm, true. I suppose the worry is for informed customers, who can at least decide to wait anyway. My reasons above may be more to encourage people to be patient for the sake of staying informed... but of course for people who simply won't be patient or informed, my argument is kinda pointless...

Thanks for the comments everyone. I have a few thoughts on some things which have been said: Hype: For me there is a difference between good advertising and hype. Though of course... it is hard to tell which is which. Usually, if there are hands-on demos or gameplays available that can be a...

People who claim TW3 is sexist really don't understand the difference between representations of something bad and actual normalization of something bad. Sure there are sexist and racist characters in TW3, but we are not meant to identify with them. By the same logic, WWII documentaries are...

Something is missing here. The (charmingly excitable naive folk) are often the cause of (behavior), presumably. So being against (behavior) probably precludes being (charmingly excitable naive folk). So unless I missed something, he never actually agreed with, what you say he agreed with...

Love you too.

PS Sorry for long post.

Hi Everyone. I wanted to talk about this because I read another thread where someone expressed disdain for pre-order culture. A lot of people got on his case. Thing is, I agreed with him. So I wanted to start this thread by expressing the reasons why I think pre-orders are bull (Of course the...

I have been following for a while, simply reading the forums, because there is interesting topics and discussion here (well, sometimes). Actually, I have been a Half-Life fan for years now, and while I played games for years prior to the first Half-Life (in 2010? I want to say) that game...

I can sympathize with the OP. I often feel really cynical about Valve as well for a variety of reasons. I see Valve like I see any corporation, really... a pile of money that wants to be a bigger pile of money. HOWEVER, I do care about what they do because they have such a great influence in...
