The Gonarch was apparently born very simply, when someone at Valve asked, according to Gabe Newell, "Why don't we put a giant testicle on a 20-foot-tall armored spider?".[1] Therefore the name may be a portmanteau of the words "gonad" and "monarch". A "gonad" is another name for the reproductive organ of mammals, the male gonad being the testicles. The "monarch" part would refer to the creature's hierarchical status in headcrab society, or simply it's "boss" status within the game.

I'm more interested in how he'll handle the gonarch, because Jesus Christ. Fun Fact:

Jim Sterling talking about the utter blithering insanity that is Air Control.

Over 2052 Nazis were killed in the making of Wolfenstein The New Order.

He had a wedge put behind him so he didn't accidentally roll away? Oops, sorry, typed that in a rush. Choked* With how the Alien Invasion is going, I wouldn't be surprised if they actually tried something like that. I mean, after all, you can't expect strippers to be the best strategists. But they would be MASTERS of distraction. So they've got that going for them.

2048 - New Canada invaded by seagulls. They are eventually fought back, but French Fry supplies are now dangerously low.

if i'm not mistaken, Half-life takes place in 200X, right? I could be wrong, but I think He's talking about the book 1984, not implying Freeman is from 1984.

Wolfenstein: The New Order. Using that big-ass turret gun for the first time made me giggle with glee, something few games of late have managed. The gameplay transitions between stealth, cover shooting, and run-and-gun smoothly without forcing you to use any of them. Would agree that it's ugly though, some objects are even just part of the texture they're sitting on, making them look like they're just painted on. But when it's that goddamn fun to kill Nazi's it's hard to complain too much.

Good to hear it's fun, I plan on picking up the PS4 version tomorrow. OT: Bioshock Infinite

2041 - New Canada's invasion of Old Canada was thwarted by a single Mountie, but not before a barge was successfully commandeered.

Super Hot. If you have not played it, go play the free prototype here and then once you've done that, go throw money at it here. A first-person shooter where time moves only when you move? Now that's hot. Super Hot. Super. Hot. Super. Hot. Super. Hot.

2040 - New Canada reduced to three square feet of ice. New Canada begins emergency annexation of Old Canada.

2037, I am elected president of New Canada, a rapidly melting square mile of ice in the middle of the ocean.

(Nothing new since last time. But seriously, go fund this now. A replay mode would be so badass.)
