Lies, you say? For what? Delaying a game a few months (for bugfixes or to rewrite the code, either way)? Let me guess, you are in the publishing department? I admit programmers usually overestimate the amount of time it will take to complete a task, but that doesn't make what Valve did a lie...

And there has been an email confirming that it was. Half of the mails in that thread are entirely made up, you can't take any of it as fact.

Oh and how could I forget Douglas Adam's 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' series? Everyone should read those books at least once.

This thread should be a bannable offense, IMO.

Payback for ****ing what? Pissing all over the fanbase? The delay was caused BY THE SOURCE LEAK ITSELF, you ignoramus!

I love how people estimate why they won't get caught, in order to justify their actions and lessen their fear. The truth is, no one has any idea how much they are willing to pursuit or what they have in store. It's better to play it safe and not download it. Not to mention you won't rip Valve...

Books eh? Let me reccomend 1984, Animal Farm, the Oedipus Cycle, and the Man Who Was Thursday (GK Chesterton's little-known masterpiece, Deus Ex contains many quotes). Of course, the less intelligent members [3/4 of the forum] may not be too interested in these. They're deep and political, with...

These forums are anarchy, rampant posting of spoilers and new screens, as well as new rumors Posting occurs so quickly I can't keep up. This place is the heart of the gaming community right now, it seems. And as I've stated previously, it's gone to the dogs. It's like a bunch of horny teenagers...

Wow, the entire gaming community has gone to the dogs after this leak. It's like spending the night in a hotel in Queens.

But what's to stop them from suing you?

I wish there was some way to show these ignorant grunts, these unwashed masses what kind of work goes into making game. Hell, making a game such as Doom 1 would be daunting, and HL-2 is unthinkable. Coding a new engine from the ground up, new models, sounds, textures, maps, the story....it's...

Call of Duty, get the demo and be awed!

If it's not out by early November or October, then I'd say Valve is dropping the ball and screwing itself badly. We've seen it before: John Romero Daikatana, NVIDIA with the GeForce FX, even John Carmack with Doom 3. And don't make me mention Duke Nukem Forever. "And in the breaking news...

Hal for PC is awful, not matter what anyone says. It was bad for XBox, worse for PC. Generic story, ho-hum action. The only redeeming quality is...gasp...shiny surfaces! Max Payne 2 is another I still reccomend. Get the movie packs 2 and 3, they show off the Havok 2.0 engine great. A thug...

Max Payne 2 is out a week from today, and it utilizes the same physics engine as HL-2. Call of Duty is out the 30th, it resembles MoH x10 on steroids. Very realistic on hard mode, and lots more sequnces like Omaha Beach (running up the banks of the Volga and into Stalingrad w/o a weapon, for...

[grits teeth] your, not you're [/grits teeth] Yeah, I always forget how you can't hear inflection over the web. I've made an arse of myself for this sort of thing more times than I care to admit. ~sits down, taking lucky with him~

Sorry lucky, the sarcasm and appreciation of the joke must have too much for you to understand. I forgot that I need to add a small tag denoting sarcasm to everything that I post. *Oh yeah! [/sarcasm] Better?

I thought the Doom 3 alpha was weak, but it was good fun for a few minutes.

Heh, I love it! While I hate to sound trollish, there's nothing better than browsing through forums and seeing the blatant spelling errors all over. If you take the time to type out a post, why not type one in coherent English? It sounds much more intelligent than "yeh mn I th1nk gbe is gay asl...

And don't forget that programmers usually grossly underestimate how long it will take to complete a section of code. I know I do...
