Wikipedia gaming entries

[CptStern]

found some interesting wikipedia entries. Here's a few you might find interesting. Most of us know the history of these games start to finish but I always find it interesting to get an outsiders POV

first person shooters

List of firearms in first-person shooters

Valve

Gabe Newell

thats nothing...now, an entry about Stern, or the signature fads or better yet, an entry about "cat got no keys n3wb!" would be far superior

pulse shield to the ever elusive Biozeminade launcher.

ROFLMAO! I introduced that rumour on the HL2w0rld wikipedia
And I also introduced that pulse shield thing, but they got that mixed up, that's another image.

The environments in Half-Life 2 are varied, ranging from the Eastern European-styled City 17 and surrounding areas, to the massive Combine citadel. There is a general Eastern European "feel" present throughout the human-populated areas, and it has been speculated that City 17 is based on Sofia, Bulgaria, the hometown of the art director of Half-Life 2, Viktor Antonov.

:cheers:

Yeah actually I've often found it very interesting in the past to read on Wikipedia about subjects which I know loads about already, getting a different perspective. Try wiki'ing Jack Thompson.

There is 1 simple piece of information that prooves City 17 isn't Sofia. Sofia is landlocked.

***** pwnz valve

Magot is a f*cking retard.

It is hinted in one of Nihilanth's speech fragments ("their slaves ... we are their slaves ... we are ..."), and strongly suggested by the so-called "All-Knowing Vortigaunt" in Half Life 2 ("once the lesser master lay defeated, we knew the greater must also fall in time"), that the Nihilanth itself was an unwilling slave of the Combine

I'm gonna have to do some updating.

 

[Sulkdodds]

Ah yes. New evidence uncovered by AL needs to be added!
