Post-whoring doesn't make a good moderator. But I reserve judgement on Alyxx's qualities until later.

A game I could not care less about. The complaining is very legit, considering Valve's four years of silence. We do not even know if they actually started working on the next Half-Life instalment, be it an episode or a full sequel. We can wait two more years, then the time between Half-Life 1 and 2 has passed.

What do you consider excessive consistency in a continuous series? Freeman's Mind is not the same format as Civil Protection.

Before we know it #35 will start progressing with #33 still being lost in the pipeline.

If we assume that Gordon was not on his first day on the job when the shit hit the fan, then why did he get surprised by every big and little things during the tram ride at the start? Was he maybe high at that very moment?

Holy shit, someone is speaking sense. No. Nobody here knows how Machinima's upload queue works internally, that post is no less of a wild guess than the others. As I asked on the previous page, is their queue really so big that it takes any certain video 7 or more days to show up after it is submitted? It isn't like uploading is slow in this day and age. Machinima must be really bloody huge if they are neither artificially slowing down the process nor doing any prioritizing.

The question asked in this thread is what your favourite weapon is. The pistol looks lame, sounds lame and is lame.

I sometimes get the feeling I am the only one who thinks French sounds ugly.

One thing I am growing particularly tired of is the hints at Freeman's drug addiction. And it isn't a particular drug, he is just looking for "anything that works".

Do Machinima honestly have such a large upload queue that 7 or more days pass before a certain video is next up?

Be specific.

Speaking from experience? Poking my stick at food seems icky to me, I have no interest in trying it.

Deus Ex is a good game despite being a low budget kind of project (Bad voice acting to name an example.).

This is only going to get worse guys. Modern Warfare 3 is coming, and that is not a joke. It was hard enough to take the mainstream seriously before.

I hope that means you are making them.

On the next day will you kill only one person, making them 34 total, or 34, making them 67 total?

Your diary needs a voice actor coupled with "dream filter effect" or whatever it is called.

Same here. Someone actually thinks religion in modern and informed society is for the best. No seriously, why do you feel the need to be insulting and attack people? Because it is so easy? You should challenge people's thoughts, opinions and principles, not them. As I have said before, ad hominems are lame, they accomplish nothing. It is not a learning experience for either/any side when one or both/all sides call people rebels or misguided just because they disagree with their world view. It is difficult by human nature to stay unbiased and calm in debates but we can all try and be respectful. Polls are not a very good debate tool though, votes do not need to be backed up or discussed. But for that exact reason they are convenient for letting people express themselves who would otherwise not bother.

I came close before getting bored of the game.

Merged. There were some time conflicts between the two threads so I hope you guys don't mind me adding quotes to a few posts to avoid confusion. Now carry on with FM #33 anticipation!

I remember one time Freeman didn't even pick up some ammo for the Magnum, said it was the wrong type.

And there you have it. Fanboys do not question what they love, nor see any flaws in it. I can and do criticise my favourite games, System Shock 2 is an imbalanced mess by default and has some areas where respawning is nuts, to name examples.

I fail to see where the awesome is. The level design makes no sense, the morality around the little sisters is a button-pressing joke, the respawning rates in many areas are ridiculous, you have an in-game nanny up until the end boss that points you to the goals and resurrects you for free whenever you die. And hey, just in case that isn't enough hand holding your goals will glow and give away sounds when you are near them. That can be useful for visually impaired people, and also intelligence challenged individuals. Normally accessibility options are disabled by default, but not in Bioshock. I can continue and go into details but I know that my words will not leave an impact.

It means that you forgot that one thing. And that my memory is better than yours. Nanananana.
